The difficult part of GC fron brakes is removing the cast iron caliper housing mounting bolts (2) in order to be able to remove the rotor. The bolds are usually torques down tight and I recommend the correct size 6 pt. impact socklet and a breaker bar to remove and install these to proper torque.

My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee recently started having problems with the heat. It spits out hot air - perfectly - on the driver's side.
The passenger side, however, blows cold air. Very cold air.
I took it to my mechanic, but he wanted to charge me a lot to take the dash apart and investigate.
Has anyone ever had this experience? If so, appreciate input on the cause of the problem and ballpark repair costs.

There is a blend issue with your electric doors in the vent assembly. there is a techical bulletin about this issue. I had ours fixed recently. The whole dash has to come out and vent housing gets cut and doors get repaired.

It's a flap behind the glovebox, it has broken and will not let the tempature adjust. I've had the same exact problem with my jeep.

Can anyone comment on the ride quality at 75 mph of a newer Laredo? I am thinking of getting one new or used. Do you feel every tar strip in the road? I tested one up to about 50 mph, and was impressed, but not sure about the higher speeds.

this is a common problem with the climate controlled Jeeps. I fixed mine without removing the dash. The only think I removed was the glove box door. What is causing the issue basically is the blend doors especially the one that controls the right side, stick to the box and when the the temps are set indivdually the door motor for that side strips the nylon shaft and it wont lift or close to control the heat. On Ebay there is a guy that sells a fix for this made out of aluminum with new doors. He has a diagram with very good pics to show where to cut the box to access the doors. It comes with double sided tape to reattach the portion cut out after the repair is complete. It only took me approx half hour to repair mine and I think it cost around 40 dollars for the parts he has. mine now works perfectly for over a year.
