Replying to: jeepgirl3 (May 26, 2009 6:26 am) he also made it down shift to pass other vehicles at this speed   Redlining is probably not a good idea!   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: jeepgirl3 (May 26, 2009 6:26 am) my opinion,he was running her hard,and the extra load-along with climbing grades hard,made her get hot.. --did it hurt it?,or is it still running-the way you normally drive it? -downshifting for power is better than "lugging" the engine..(from a old bus driver running the las vegas run many times)..saw many "city drivers" try todrive the desert grades in drive,while i had to downshift-and would burn up their motors!.. -downshifting isn't nesiserially bad,but watch the tackometer-and don't "redline"-especially an old,tired engine..you gotta be easy on old stuff-if you want it to last..it'd be like taking a old horse-loading it down,and expecting it to run the kentucky derby! i agree with you..take it easy on old gear-if you want it to last!!

Replying to: jeepgirl3 (May 26, 2009 6:26 am) I have a 2001 Cherokee with 158,000 miles on it. Like you, I have tried to take good care of it. After taking such good care of yours, how did it feel to see it being brutalized by your boyfriend? Keep that dude out of your Jeep.
#2481 of 2526 2001 Jeep Cherokee Aniv Engine Idle Problems after Rebuil by yeats66 Jun 01, 2009 (1:03 pm)
Hello...I am new to this group. I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 4X4. I just had the engine rebuilt by NAPA. The new engine is installed and connected. I started it up and it was idling rough. I noticed some vacuum leaks on the injectors so I replaced all of the O-Rings. That seemed to fix some of the problems. I checked the onboard computer and there are not error codes. The engine sounds great when you run in above 1000 RPM. It just when it idling is when it is rough. There are no air leaks. All of the sensors are connected. Before the engine died(before it was rebuilt) it ran and idles normally. Does anyone have an opinion?

Replying to: yeats66 (Jun 01, 2009 1:03 pm) Still sounds like a vacuum leak of some sort. Replies to this message: yeats66 (Jun 02, 2009 5:26 pm) paule (Jun 02, 2009 5:31 pm)

Replying to: lildavidjax (Jun 02, 2009 6:37 am) I have triple checked numorous times...i thought there may be a leak on the manifold but there was not. Any other suggestions? Replies to this message: paule (Jun 02, 2009 5:31 pm)

Replying to: yeats66 (Jun 02, 2009 5:26 pm) I suggest a quadruple check on the vacuum lines. Maybe one of the check valves on the valve cover is reversed? Usually a rough idle will eventually be chased down to a vacuum line either partially connected, disconnected, or connected to the wrong place.
#2485 of 2526 AC on 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 ltr by paganmomma Jul 02, 2009 (4:29 pm)
I have a 1988 Cherokee that needs to have the AC charged, but I am calling around to find prices for this service and cant tell what kind of AC fluid I need. Does anyone know if it is R12 or 134A in this model?
#2486 of 2526 Refrigerant by lildavidjax Jul 06, 2009 (4:56 am)
A decal on your radiator support or the firewall should tell you what kind of refrigerant it takes. IF it's R12 it will need to be retrofitted for R134A. No way around it. It's law.
#2487 of 2526 Check Engine Light by fisherpat Jul 10, 2009 (11:01 am)
Took my Cherokee to Autozone and they ran diagnotics. Code says I have either a failed transmission range sensor,,or ,, Open or short circuit condition...My question: Where is this range sensor located and how do I trace open circuit with this thing. Part only available at dealers I understand. Any reply would be appreciated. 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0l auto 4 wheel drive.
