I daily drive my '92, 4.0 inline 6 YJ that has the automatic transmission. It has around 170,000 miles and is in what I would call "pretty good" condition, but needs a tune-up. I will list the symptoms and what I believe to be problems and I am asking for help further determining the problem and...

Hey New Member I’m concerned I paid for repairs that were unnecessary. I’ve attached photos of invoices from my mechanic regarding the repairs. I originally brought the jeep into the mechanic on Sept 14th due to engine concerns but having no idea what the problem was, only that the engine...

I'm relatively new to Jeeping. I bought a 1984 CJ7 a few years ago and I love it but I haven't been taking the best care of it up to this point. I've started taking on small projects here and there and learning as I go. Recently installed an aluminum valve cover and replaced the thermostat and...

Hello! I'm new to the forum. I bought my first Jeep yesterday. It's a 2001 Cherokee Sport with a bad engine and probably bad everything else, too. But it was cheap and I'm excited to fix it up with my teenage kids. It was advertised as having a bad head gasket and misfire on cylinder #3...

I was doing my usual oil change in my drive way on my 2005 Jeep wk 5.7 with 172k miles. When I cracked open the oil drain bolt, coolant started coming out first, not a lot, but enough for me to notice. The oil and coolant was not mixed. The rest of the oil after that was just the usual real...

Hello everyone and thanks for reading! I have a whistling 2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4.0 with >311.000km (>193.000 miles) and basically only one question: Can a positive Tee-Kay test (=combustion gas in the coolant) have another cause than a leaking head gasket? Like a leaking exhaust...

Hey guys, so I have been reading through the forums and believe my cherokee probably has a cracked head. Back story: I bought the 2001 cherokee sport 4.0 in the beginning of March and had to get the coolant system flushed as it was rust red and some of the hoses were clogged. I had it want to...

Hello, I own a 4.0L 2000 TJ with only 70,000 miles that has always been very well maintained. Lately, I have noticed some coolant dripping down from the oil pan, and the coolant reservoir was low. I took the Jeep to the shop to get it checked out, and I came back home with a $3,000 estimate...

Hey all, So im stuck between a rock and a hard place. i love my jeep and blew a head gasket recently. Being as i love to work on my jeep ill be doing the work myself. I have a few other things i want to replace while im in there. Thermostat, spark plugs, serpetine belt, intake manifold gasket...

I've been having residue on my oil cap, and the coolant level would keep dropping rather quickly. My head is a 0331, and I've heard this head has cracking issues. I've got the head removed, so now I need to find out where the crack is, if there is one. I believe most of them crack right in...

I have a theory on the issue, I'd like your input as well. Here are the facts: Just completed a complete overhaul and rebuild, including new bore and pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets...the whole package. The head was reworked by my machine shop. valves ground, ported, new valve guides and...

I have got a 2008 grand cherokee V6 3.7L. I replaced the head gasket and the timing chain slipped while i was doing that. I thought I had it back in time started it back up and it ran. I shut it off and it wouldn't start again. So I tore it back apart and to put it in time, the timing guide got...

Every morning i start up my 97 grand cherokee cold, the engine misfires for about 10 minutes until it warms up. Then it's good as new. Could a leaking head gasket between cylinders be the cause?

I just purchased a Jeep Cherokee Laredo 2001. Has been running fine for the past 6 weeks, even did a long trip (350 miles) with it without any issues. Yesterday the engine started running bad and engine light went on, brought it my mechanic who says that the head gasket is blown. Since this is...

Hey all, first thread. So I've got a 91 XJ 2WD that I'm going to pull the head from to install a head and intake gasket. At the same time, thankfully, my clutch seems to have given out so I'm keeping her in the garage for all diagnoses and repairs. Still trying to sift through the clutch issue...

Hello, I purchased a 2000 Jeep XJ 4.0L last week, it has 160,000mi. I bought it with the check engine light on, miss fire on cylinder two. Ignition Coil Rail, Spark Plugs & Injector replaced. Still miss firing, I found a TSB on this for the valves to become sticky from carbon causing misfires...

My jeep started to over heat going up Snoqualmie pass last week. VERY SLOW creep. By the time I got to the top of the pass the temp gage had just reached the bottom of the red. This took like ~ 40 min. Driving around town I've never seen it pass 100 so I'm assuming this is a Celsius...

My jeep needs a new Master Cylinder / Head Gasket and the shop puts the estimate at 2100.00 Money is tight right now and I am looking for alternative ways such as Junk Yard etc to buy the head gasket / master cylinder. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions? Thank You, Z

Hi there... First post! Owned many jeeps in the past but am just getting to the level where I want to dive in and learn more. Just bought this 85 CJ7, looking for a learning opportunity. Well, something happened while driving yesterday and I get to learn! Overall she's in good shape but I think...

Hello, I'm new to this website. I have recently started a new business scrapping cars and selling parts. I have a dilemma and I'm sure someone here will be able to help. I have recently purchased a 2 wheel drive 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. I must be honest, I bought it with the intention...
