The 1998 Jeep Wrangler factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact model year and to both the 2.5L I4 and the 4.0L I6, across all three trims. Because it is tied to the 1998 build rather than a nearby year, every specification and procedure stays correct for your engine and trim.
Engines
- 2.5L I4 — 150 cu in, OHV
- 4.0L I6 — 242 cu in, OHV

Known issues on the 1998 Wrangler. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year: a hydraulic service-brake fault where a loss of brake fluid can lower brake-line pressure and increase stopping distance, an equipment defect that could strike and injure persons outside the vehicle, and a fuel-delivery fuel-pump leak that could result in a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 401 complaints and Jeep has issued 67 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a sensor diagnosis or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1998 Wrangler.
