#2409 of 2529 Re: steering gear [bigflan99] by 98grandc Sep 21, 2008 (7:47 am)
Replying to: bigflan99 (Aug 22, 2008 1:45 pm) Hello Did you ever get an answer to if the steering gear is servicable? I have a 98 Grand Cherokee that has a lot of movement in steering wheel when driving. I am wanting to find out if this play can be adjusted out. If it can, how is it done. Thanks
#2410 of 2529 Re: My 1997 Cherokee won't restart [4eyedwoody] by 98grandc Sep 21, 2008 (8:01 am)
Replying to: 4eyedwoody (Jun 07, 2005 7:24 pm) I have a similar issue with my 98 Grand Cherokee 4 Liter engine. When cold there is 3 possible ways to start. 1) Let starter motor turn for about 5 or 10 seconds. 2) Try initial start but only to turn over engine then turn key back and then turn over again, engine then starts up on this second turn of the key. 3) Turn key to run position, wait 2 seconds and then turn over, engine starts right up.   Does anyone have advise on what needs to be changed to correct this minor but frustrating issue?

Replying to: loosenut (Sep 20, 2008 10:28 pm) Thanks, but I run at least mid-grade fuel and NEVER arco fuel. usually shell or chevron. I put a thing of lucas injector cleaner in it already, didn't make a difference. Its just weird that it cranks so long, but starts fine when it does. and idles smoothly.   Also, leaving the key on before starting doesn't change a thing either.

#2412 of 2529 Grinding noise by everyday1 Sep 22, 2008 (5:23 am)
I just got an 04 Laredo with 43K miles on it and when I switch out of park to drive or reverse there is a grind type noise. I also have it when I'm going from brake to gas. Can someone tell me what is going on? thanks Replies to this message: loosenut (Sep 22, 2008 7:28 am)

Replying to: 70ss454_man (Sep 21, 2008 7:01 pm) sounds like pressure is good..assume you've changed filters..maybe electrical..i've seen on this blog where the engine crank sensor-the one that's mounted at the flywheel-could they have picked a more-pain in the butt-place for that? did you have them check for trouble codes?..if that engine crankshaft position sensor is getting tired,it'd show up as a trouble code..the auto zone's here do it for free..jeep gets a couple hundred-just to run a test,then you hear where they do a "update" on your computer-that makes it run slower and worse?!??!! good luck with it !

Replying to: everyday1 (Sep 22, 2008 5:23 am) i'd check all the fluids-transferr case,differentials,ect..then,try putting the transferr case in low-like maybe it wasn't in gear all the way.. look at your u-joints.. if it makes noise between decell and accel,it's probably a u-joint,or the ring gear in the rearend..thats why it's so important to check fluid levels-especially in the rearend..i see a lot of jeeps for sale -where all it needs is a third member..could be whats going on with yours!?
#2415 of 2529 I need help... by krell04 Oct 02, 2008 (11:24 am)
I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4L Straight 6. This just started today, when I get the engine started. It seems to run real high for no reason that I can think of.. I drove it to the store and when I left, it started.. Has anyone had this happen or knows what I can do to fix it.. Also, when I start the engine, it sometimes just whirrs (kinda like, if you turn the key when it is already running..) and stops..
#2416 of 2529 How Long Will It Last by mjgirard Oct 11, 2008 (7:16 pm)
I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee and it just turned 150,000 miles and I wanted some info from anyone with similar Jeep's. Will this Jeep perform good enough for the next couple of years on the highway without any major concerns so that my daughter can use it at college? It runs great now and has always had maintenance and repairs taken care of on time. My big concern is the mileage and her being out of town. It is a 2WD with 4.0L six, a/c and not much else.   Thanks for the advice and information. MJGirard Replies to this message: fisherpat (Oct 11, 2008 7:52 pm)

Replying to: mjgirard (Oct 11, 2008 7:16 pm) I had a 1989 jeep cherokee limited. When I gave it to my nephew it had 314,800 miles on it. Still had original engine and running gear. Ran great. I always took care of it and had maint as required. I now have a 2000 cherokee and hope it does the same for me. It too will receive the needed care. Good luck.
#2418 of 2529 Re: 93 cherokee sport inline6 4.0L [lildavidjax] by 7963bill Nov 01, 2008 (7:55 pm)
Replying to: lildavidjax (Mar 05, 2008 9:35 am) I recently replaced the crankshaft posittion sensor on a 96 cherokee 4.0 to cure a no spark condition. Found that taking the front driveshaft lose and holding it out of the way with bailing wire was well worth the extra effort. I could actually reach the bolts with both fingertips with one arm in the engine compartment and one arm coming up from the transmission side.
