I have a 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo and have recently noticed that when I leave it in the garage overnight a large puddle of water forms underneath the left rear wheel. I've wondered of it's condensation but it's a large puddle - 1' x 2' sometimes. It started a couple of weeks after I had my gas tank replaced so I'm wondering if it is related, but have no idea.

Replying to: starrz (Mar 09, 2009 12:50 pm) try hitting the unlock button manually on the driver's or front passenger's side door - that should unlock the tailgate as well. good luck. Replies to this message: smokebee (Mar 10, 2009 8:50 am)
#4398 of 4609 slow heating up by gcristea Mar 10, 2009 (6:13 am)
Hey anyone--just bought a cherokee with the 4.0 engine and have noticed it takes forever to get the engine to full operating temp--is this the norm or do I need a new thermostat or somethingp--thanks--George// Replies to this message: trek87 (Mar 10, 2009 6:18 am) deratristar (Mar 10, 2009 6:40 am) gcristea (Mar 10, 2009 7:18 am) trek87 (Mar 10, 2009 7:24 am) neb1997 (Mar 10, 2009 8:54 am) xscout (Mar 11, 2009 4:14 pm)

Replying to: gcristea (Mar 10, 2009 6:13 am) I have a 2000 JGC with the 4.0 L engine. Mine heats up quickly, goes to 210 degrees, and stays there.   I'd check if the thermostat is stuck open (a safety mechanism to avoid overheating). If it is, replace it. Make sure an get a 210 degree thermostat (Cooler is NOT better on the Jeeps... causes an error code, no heat, etc).

Replying to: gcristea (Mar 10, 2009 7:18 am) OK, that sounds like a simple thermostat issue - maybe have your shop take a look. Good luck. My ZJ hits about 200 F in less than half of that time.

Replying to: trek87 (Mar 09, 2009 2:51 pm) Battery may need replacing in the remote. That was my problem.

Replying to: gcristea (Mar 10, 2009 6:13 am) The issue with the 4.0 is usually over-heating. Before you replace the thermostat, perhaps you make sure the gauge is correct. I believe most parts stores have an temp scanner/infra-red style that you can use. That way you don't start disturbing something that may be working well.   If you replace the thermostat, make sure you get the correct one with the little bleeder valve in it. It looks like a little rivet that can allow air bubbles to escape and not build up in the engine.   My 4.0 heats up to 210 within 5-10 minutes depending on outside temp.
