Provided you could actually get a new engine, not a remanufactured, its not worth doing on a vehicle that old. You would be spending far more than its worth, and still have a very high mileage Jeep. The Grand Cherokee stayed with that same basic design for several more model years past 1993, and you could definitely find one with less mileage.

The odometer will still show 170,000 miles, because that's what the transmission, chassis, etc. have driven. You can make a note to tell the next owner that the engine was replaced at this mileage.
But it better be a heck of a Jeep to warrant putting a new motor in a 14 year old vehicle with that many miles on the clock.

the only way the mileage will change is in your head as you will have to keep track of when you put the new motor in from the present mileage on the vehicle and then you will know how many actual miles you have on the new engine, don't turn the odometer back as thats against the law and you can get jail time for that.

No the miles are based on the car itself, so if you put a new motor in it the car still has the same mileage. If you roll back the odometer you are breaking the law. Once you put mileage on it there is absoutley nothing to roll it back.

The odometer doesn't automatically go to 0 if you replace your motor; your car will stay at 170k miles. Keep in mind that its a serious crime to commit odometer fraud, definitely consider the new motor as opposed to a new car, but keep your odometer running.

the main crucial factor is to get the vehicle inspected by using a mechanic formerly you purchase it. that is going to purely cost approximately $50, and it might desire to keep you lots extra on upkeep down the line. I even have offered severe mileage autos, yet provided that they've been appropriate maintained. If somebody can instruct you receipts for all upkeep paintings, and the mechanic says that is in sturdy shape, i might have not have been given any difficulty paying for the main dazzling automobile with 150k on it. stay far flung from automobiles that have had 3+ vendors, as one in each and every of them in all risk has not serviced it appropriate.

If you can get it cheap enough there's no reason not to do it. New motors are often cheaper than car payments. And you'll have a nice vehicle for quite a few years.
