#4553 of 4613 Re: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Knocking... [5moremiles] by loosenut Sep 23, 2009 (9:55 pm)
Replying to: 5moremiles (Sep 23, 2009 9:19 pm) -a thrust bearing-ifin i demember korectlee(sorry,my poor attempt at humor),-ANYWAY; is to keep the crankshaft-or camshaft- from moving forward or back-front to rear,if that's the bearing i'm thinking of.. -the last time i dealt with a thrust bearing was in my -64 air cooled bug..in that motor,they had what amounted to washers that went behind the flywheel..you'd stack them in there,till the shaft only moved about .003 -thousants-cause heat expands-etc.. ---i could be wrong..also,haven't looked into how a thrust bearing sits in my jeep engine,or how to service/replace it..good luck !
#4554 of 4613 -98 gcl,5.2-dana 44 axle bearing noise. by loosenut Sep 23, 2009 (10:16 pm)
when gas hit 4 bucks,got a great deal on this old jeep.. i've fixed the broken windows(pax side 1/4 ,and front door glass),-ever since i've had it,the rear axle "whines",but hasn't gotten any louder..i think it's the pax side bearing,but-of corse-every service dept wants two grand to rebuild it,witch i feel is overkill if the only thing really wrong is that bearing.. --anyone else out there in cyberspace had a similar expierience with that series-all time-all wheel drive,aluminim casing-dana 44? -also,when changing the back parking brake-the wear pattern on the shoes was wierd,like the axle wasn't setting in the right place.. --ain't got money to waste-as this thing's only getting 12-14 m.p.g.at best,and the tank is always hungry,so i don't need to throw away money i aint got.. --anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: a72rose2 (Sep 25, 2009 6:47 am) as far as running-sounds like a plugged catylitic converter or muffler..also,try putting marathon premium in it for winter..that cheap crap that smells more like kerosene than gas is why you get to tune it up twice as often as i do --that 10/20 cents per gal doesn't add up to mutch savings when ya figure in things like that..ya get what ya pay for..bla-bla.. --seriously,try a good thorough tune up..probably hasn't been done since new..ya gots ta do th maintenence on em,or they run like--that-till they leave you walking to the next exit!!

Replying to: louieco4 (Sep 21, 2009 8:43 pm) If you have fuel and spark at the cylinders, then I would have the "timing rechecked" to see that its on spec,

Replying to: quietstorm242 (Sep 22, 2009 5:51 pm) If you have the 4.7 engine, try having the throttle body cleaned, this causes low idle and stalling, (known problem).
#4560 of 4613 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L petrol straight 6 - HELP by placesinfrance Oct 02, 2009 (1:05 am)
Ok, I need some serious help!!   I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L petrol straight 6, now I have been suffering with a loud tapping noise that I would normally say is the tappets, but this only happens when the engine is cold then gets louder then just stops when the engine warms up, the tapping does not fade away, it just stops dead!! like a switch has turned on! got to add that you do not hear this when you 1st start up, only after a few seconds (10-15) the tapping starts.   But also when the engine is warm, you can hear this tapping (not as loud) in cycles, see if i can put this in to words!! the tapping starts off softly then builds in loudness, then just stops, again like a switch has tripped, then it does this again and again!!   Have had this checked by Chrysler - !!!! no help yet!!   Can anyone HELP!

#4561 of 4613 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee...Sluggish/Shifting Rough by elduque Oct 02, 2009 (6:08 am)
Wife's car. Mentioned it was running better than usual the other day (for reasons unknown); then, said she heard a very loud noise from under the center of the car....not a bang (like a backfire), but more of a 'hit hard with a hammer' sound. Car immediately goes to somewhat sluggish running with 'check engine' light now on. Now, it shifts hard...slips a bit...when auto tranny is shifting from first to second. I thought maybe bad gas at first, but she said the big 'wham' noise was definitely not a backfire. I looked under the car for anything obvious (I'm not a mechanic), and noticed that the rear part of the drive shaft had possibly come loose (slipped out) a half inch or so. Just making this observation from seeing where the shaft was shiney....then dirty like you might normally see. Anyone have ideas? Sorry so vague about this, but that's all I know at this point. It's a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 with 111k miles. Cars starts fine, but runs kind of weak...no passing gear etc, like it lost compression, maybe. Seems like a tranny related problem, but I don't know. Thanks. I appreciate any input.
#4562 of 4613 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Stall Problem by 2survive Oct 02, 2009 (11:46 am)
I can't believe how many people have written in about the stalling problem with their Jeeps. Wish I had thought to find this site about a year ago - before we replaced several parts - due to the mechanic "not seeing the problem" while it was happening. I told my husband what I had found out about people replacing the crank shaft sensor - and he called the place who had done all the work last year that didn't fix the problem. One guy tells him "oh, that's a common problem with Jeeps." Well, we put the Jeep in the shop (an almost one hour ordeal to get the Jeep TO the shop that was less than 15 minutes away - because it KEPT STALLING and I missed Grey's Anatomy, too - and the mechanic calls him this afternoon to tell him that the computer is saying the CRANKSHAFT itself needs to be replaced and that in the 8 years he has worked at this location, he's not heard of replacing the crank shaft sensor ever!!!!????? Personally, I think it's bull - we're getting the same old thing - "it's running just fine"...but I'd much rather try to replace a quoted $75 part (includes labor) than a probably $500 part. Sure hope this works!! Replies to this message: tuggajb (Oct 03, 2009 6:32 am) clipkarn (Oct 03, 2009 3:49 pm)
