Engine Options:
This manual covers all engine options for the 1974-1976 Jeep CJ5, CJ6, CJ7, Wagoneer, and Truck models. Specific engines during this period typically included AMC's 232 cu in (3.8 L) inline-six, 258 cu in (4.2 L) inline-six, and the optional 304 cu in (5.0 L) V8. The Wagoneer and Truck models might also have offered larger V8s like the 360 cu in (5.9 L) or 401 cu in (6.6 L) in earlier years, though the focus here is on the 74-76 range which primarily featured the 258 and 304 for CJ models and broader options for Wagoneer/Truck.
Power And Torque:
Detailed performance specifications, including horsepower and torque figures for each engine variant, are expected to be found within the manual. For context, the 258 cu in typically produced around 110-115 horsepower and 195-200 lb-ft of torque, while the 304 cu in V8 was rated around 150-170 horsepower and 240-275 lb-ft of torque during this era.
Fuel Delivery:
Information on carburetors (e.g., Carter, Motorcraft) and associated fuel delivery systems, including fuel pump and filter service, will be covered.
Ignition System:
Details on ignition system components, timing, spark plugs, and troubleshooting will be included.
Cooling System:
Radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat service procedures and specifications.
Manual Transmission:
Information on manual transmissions, such as the T-90 (likely phased out but potentially covered for older rebuilds), T-15/T-18, and T-14, including removal, installation, and internal servicing.
Automatic Transmission:
Details on automatic transmissions commonly paired with these engines, such as the Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed (e.g., TH350, TH400, potentially TH700R4 in later 76 models), including their service and overhaul.
Transfer Case:
Service and repair procedures for the Jeep Quadra-Trac or Dana 20 transfer case, commonly found in these models, will be a significant part of the drivetrain coverage.
Wheelbase:
Varies by model: CJ-5 (approx. 84 inches), CJ-6 (approx. 104 inches), CJ-7 (approx. 93.5 inches), Wagoneer/Truck (typically longer wheelbases like 108.7 or 116.4 inches depending on configuration).
Length:
Varies by model. CJ-5 around 130-150 inches, CJ-7 around 150-160 inches, Wagoneer/Truck considerably longer.
Curb Weight:
Generally ranging from 3,000 to 4,500+ lbs depending on model and configuration. Specific weights for each variant will be detailed in the manual.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
GVWR specifications for each model will be provided, critical for safe operation and load capacity.
Audio System:
Basic AM/FM radio, possibly with an 8-track player option. The manual may cover basic radio removal and installation.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) were not standard or widely available on these models. The manual will focus on conventional braking systems.
Cruise Control:
Optional cruise control systems might have been available; relevant service information may be included.
Gauge Cluster:
Information on the instrument cluster, including speedometer, tachometer (if equipped), fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and oil pressure warnings, along with their diagnostic and repair.
Oil Change Interval:
Typical intervals for this era were around 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or every 6 months, with specific recommendations likely detailed in the manual.
Tune Up Schedule:
The manual will provide factory-recommended tune-up schedules, including spark plug replacement, filter changes, and ignition timing checks.
Engine Oil:
Likely SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 for most conditions, with specific viscosity grades and API service classifications detailed. For V8 engines, higher viscosity might be recommended.
Coolant:
A mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and distilled water (typically 50/50), with specific capacities for each model.
Transmission Fluid:
For automatic transmissions, likely Dexron II or equivalent. For manual transmissions, GL-4 gear oil (e.g., 80W-90) is typical.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is the standard for this era.
Power Steering Fluid:
Type F ATF or specific power steering fluid, depending on the system installed.
Common Wear Items:
Typical issues for vehicles of this age include carburetor adjustment, fuel system leaks, exhaust system wear, universal joint wear, leaf spring fatigue, and electrical gremlins. The manual will guide diagnosis and repair for these.
Corrosion:
Body and frame corrosion is a common concern for Jeeps of this vintage, especially in salt-belt regions. Repair procedures for body panels and chassis components will be relevant.
Jeep Legacy:
Jeep has a long military and civilian off-road heritage dating back to WWII. The CJ (Civilian Jeep) series represents the direct lineage from the original Jeep.
Cj Lineage:
The CJ-5, introduced in 1955, was a popular and enduring model. The CJ-6 was a longer-wheelbase version. The CJ-7, introduced in 1976, was a significant redesign with a longer wheelbase and improved amenities, intended to complement rather than immediately replace the CJ-5.
Wagoneer Truck:
The Wagoneer (SJ platform) was introduced in 1963 as one of the first luxury 4x4 SUVs. The 'Truck' models likely refer to the Gladiator/J-Series pickup trucks, which shared much of their chassis and drivetrain with the Wagoneer and CJ models.
Manufacturing Era:
1974-1976 represents a period of AMC ownership for Jeep, with significant updates and engine choices available.
Off Road Icon:
The Jeep CJ series, including the CJ-5, CJ-6, and CJ-7, are widely recognized as off-road icons, celebrated for their ruggedness and capability.
Utility:
These vehicles were known for their versatility, serving as workhorses and recreational vehicles, earning accolades for their utility and durability in demanding conditions.
