Replying to: trickster (Jan 18, 2006 3:13 pm) Thanks for the reply Trickster. Had my suspicions re: the batt. and alt. but didn't want to waste $ on replacing the wrong item. It still amazes me that the two guages would quit all together though. Much appreciated. Canuck905 Replies to this message: jeeper2 (Jan 20, 2006 12:08 pm)
#2529 of 4609 Grand Cherokee transmission problems by craig111 Jan 20, 2006 (9:37 am)
Hi - please pardon the question is this is a silly one. I have no experience of automatic transmissions being British and having never driven an auto previously other than rental cars. So. I am now the proud owner of a 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2 with 140k miles. I would like to understand if my transmission is behaving correctly - if its behaving ok, but sounds worn, or if its doing something i need to worry about. So... it shifts properly up and down etc. When shifting from park to reverse, there's a small clunk initially. Similarly when shifting from reverse to drive. a small clunk. Is this ok? it feels like just some play somewhere. Equally. coming from drive to a stop at traffic lights. It seems not possible to bring it to a stop perfectly smoothly, there always seems to be this small clunk just before stopping. i don't think the problem is my heavy feet... Secondly. I'm in drive. The car is stationary. My foot is on the brake. I rev the engine. I hear a grating noise. Should i expect to? I don't think i should, but not really sure. I appreciate this is something i don't really need to do, but am just interested in whether this indicates a problem or the beginnings of a problem. other than that, am extremely pleased with my Jeep. Thanks in advance for any advice or help. Replies to this message: trickster (Jan 20, 2006 5:55 pm) craig111 (Jan 21, 2006 7:47 am)

Replying to: canuck905 (Jan 20, 2006 9:03 am) What was the solution for the non functioning speedometer and tach? I have the same problem after I recently put the charger on the battery of my '99 GC. The battery was low but not dead. I had left a light on inside the Jeep and didn't find it for a couple of days.   I was told that only a Jeep dealer can resolve this by applying some type of reset.

Replying to: craig111 (Jan 20, 2006 9:37 am) The clunk that you are hearing is more than likely the universal joints, on the rear driveshaft, that are worn and need to be replaced. The grating noise that you are hearing is the A.B.S. braking system trying to keep your vehicle stationary, but cannot. During severe braking, you will also hear this noise, don't be alarmed, this is normal for an A.B.S braking system, and the brake pedal will also pulsate.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

#2532 of 4609 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Stalls in Idle by ggriffin Jan 20, 2006 (5:59 pm)
My 1998 Jeep stalls at stop lights while in idle. starts back o.k. took vehicle to BuckHead Jeep in Atlanta and after they had it in shop for 2 weeks and charged me almost $1000.00 I hope it is fixed. I think I just got took. They first replaced the sparkplugs which were brand new, installed new wires, rotor, distributor cap, ignition coil and the charge was $547.00. Vehicle still cuts off in idle, Next they ordered a remanufactured pcm board that took 4 days to get(while i am paying for a rental car) and charged me another $560.00. Out of the goodness of their heart the put the old ignition coil back on and gave me a credit for$261.00. I thought dealers were suppose to have computers to tell them where the problem is located.

#2533 of 4609 Re: 97 JGC rain leak...Help! [jeep097] by trickster Jan 20, 2006 (6:05 pm)
Replying to: jeep097 (Jan 19, 2006 11:12 am) The drain plugs are there to drain water out of the vehicle after there has been severe flooding of the vehicle, as to where the rug/carpet would have to be changed regardless.   SO... try this. Once you have peeled back the rug in the driver's side footwell, look for anything suspicious as to where the water may be entering, pay close attention to the front tire well area. Next place a lawn spinkler under the front of the driver's side area to mimic driving on a rainy day, and locate your problem leak.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
#2534 of 4609 Re: 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Stalls in Idle [ggriffin] by trickster Jan 20, 2006 (6:16 pm)
Replying to: ggriffin (Jan 20, 2006 5:59 pm) Wow. It sound like they were just guessing as to what MIGHT be the problem, and didn't care that thier mistakes were being paid for by you.   Question: Does your jeep still stall at stop lights? Well, did they ever check the idle air control, located on the throttle body. This sensor, will do the exact same thing when they are dirty/gummed up, or need to be changed out. Oh, and so will a throttle postion sensor. On a more happier note, your ignition system won't need replacment for a good while.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

My 1994 Grand Cherokee thumps and wants to lock up when steering is full left or right both forward and backward on dry pavement. Replies to this message: trickster (Jan 20, 2006 8:36 pm) mkrkp (Jun 05, 2007 7:49 pm)
#2536 of 4609 Re: 1994 Grand Cherokee Tight turn thumps [java2] by trickster Jan 20, 2006 (8:36 pm)
Replying to: java2 (Jan 20, 2006 6:30 pm) This is pretty much normal as for all time four wheel drives. When you turn one tire is turning faster than the other one, resulting in the PCM reading this as a slipping action, thus putting the transfering power to all the wheels aka. four wheel drive. I have a '95, and it has always done that for as long as i have had the vehicle. Nothing to be alarmed about.   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
