Hi all. I am a new owner of a 2001 Cherokee XJ, 82xxx miles. I’ve done a fair bit of reading up, getting my hands on a Factory Service Manual and just searching forums to familiarize myself with my new ride. I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on the first things I should get to...

I have a 2001 jeep cherokee that is having some issues. Is there anyone around the area who specializes in this jeep that could help me figure out what’s up? Or be willing to work on it? I heard a loud mechanical noise from under while driving on the highway. Almost like something broke. The...

06 WK with 130k+ miles. I feel every bit of unsmoothness of the road but at the same time, when I drive fast enough into a ramp, the front wheels travel fully and bang against the car. It feels as if the suspension is too stiff but also too soft at the same time. I need to change the tires but...

My vehicle's brake fluid has a light brown color and it smells a bit stinky/fishy. Should I change it?

I was hearing some slapping coming from under the seats in my jeep and i believe it was the transfer case drive chain that had stretched out and was hitting the side of the transfer case when i accelerated after i have shifted gears. I took it to a mechanic and they said pretty much the same...

Hi Folks, I'm new here so I apologize if this isn't the correct area to post this question. I recently started having issues with the transmission on my '02 WJ 4.0 I6 with the 42RE. It started out as some hanging in between 1 and 2, some "hunting" while on an incline in low gear, and then what...

I have a 1998 ZJ Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.9L v8. It started acting like the voltage regulator is out. The voltage hovers around 13 volts but drops when an accessory (say the turn signal or a/c) is turned on and will slowly rise again. I have looked all over the internet and most places...

Hey guys, just picked up (a month ago) my second Grand Cherokee, but first real world car. Had a beater ZJ in high school, and I'm finally back to the club. Picked up a 2009 WK (QTI) with 34,500 miles on it last month and already put almost 2k on it. Commuting 50 miles a day, and haven't ever...

So the Wisconsin winter roads have taken their toll on my frame and the tran skid plate ripped through the frame leaving me a nice big hole in the bottom of my frame. I think its beyond repair, and I dont know how comfortable I am riding on a patched up frame. Im going to be doing a frame...

I just pulled my transmission out of my 2002 jeep wrangler 4.0L and I'm wondering if there's any maintenance i should be doing while I have it out. The thought of a main seal crossed my mind but I haven't pulled off the pressure plate to see if you can actually get to them from there or you need...

I am looking to purchase either a low mileage 2005 WK with QD II or one of several cheaper and more readily available 2006s ( Laredos) with QT II and BTCS. From all the advice and videos I am confident QT II with BTCS will meet my needs for traction and off-road fishing trips. I am wondering if...

I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to moding my Jeep and I need some advice. I have a jeep wrangler x, with 106k miles. I will soon being taking it to get a tune up and maintained. I am planning on making it a bit more capable with larger tires, a lift, shocks, etc. I only plan on...

Sup, I read all the forums and posts that I could, but it seems a lot of the posts on these are old. So, instead of asking in each, figured I'd just post up: So this weekend, going to finish all the preventive care and maintenance I should get done. So figured I'd see if anyone has advice or...

Greetings fellow Jeep Liberty owners and enthusiasts! I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty 3.7L and have had more problems than ever recently. But my recent discovery has been a clicking noise coming from underneath that could possibly be a bad CV Joint, but it clicks when just driving straight, not...

Hello! I've been banging my head and scouring this forum for answers for 6 months to get my 77' Wagoneer to start. Since I am new to this, I recently discovered "starter fluid" and gave that a try over the weekend. Sure enough after 6 months of not firing, the Jeep came back to life. To get to...

Hello all! For most of it's life, I've been taking "Gunhed" (stock 1996 Cherokee XJ 4.0L) to the same mechanic and doing only the smallest maintenance tasks on my own (living in the city, space to work is hard to come by). Gunhed had sat unused for a period of months (low speed shaking), and I...

I have posted a thread about this a while back, and i am getting ready to do the deed, but i just wanted to talk to you guys quickly about some thoughts I've had. Just as a recap of info: I have a 98 Cherokee 4.0 with the AW4 with approximately 130,000 miles on it. This vehicle is 100% stock...
