#4586 of 4606 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Engine by pilotswife Nov 05, 2009 (6:47 pm)
I have a 4.7 Litre V8 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Totally out of the blue it threw a connecting rod and the piston went up into the head. We now have to get a new engine. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this common in Jeeps? Do you think it is worth repairing?

Easy fix but steer clear of everything but the ones from www.jgcparts.com because the factory ones go bad ALL THE TIME! The other alternative is high pitch tiny tweeters you can buy from walmart on a fancy bracket. There is a guy who sells that junk mini piezo tweeter on Ebay calls it a viper something or another. Stay away! it is about 1/6 the size of the factory one and has ZERO sound quality.

Replying to: pilotswife (Nov 05, 2009 6:47 pm) If you pay somebody to rebuild your engine or install a used engine, make sure you get a 90 day warranty on the compression test.   V8 is cool. But, assuming it can be made compatible, maybe an I6 would be easier to find and cheaper. My 97 2wd JGC has the 4.0 I6. Acceleration was good but I don't tow

Replying to: jeepguy3 (Apr 04, 2006 8:45 am) Sure wish you had received some responses. I have a 2000 JGC Laredo with what may be the exact same problem. I have spent a couple hours searching on the Internet, and cannot find this particular problem addressed anywhere. At least I won't assume it's the speaker, after your outcome.

Replying to: billupstateny (Nov 12, 2009 11:16 am) If it only happens when you are moving, a connector or wire is loose or speaker or radio not secure which stresses wires and connectors. Next, I assume it happens all the time so you can test it in your garage.   Obtain a portable radio or compact stereo that can driive your speakers. The ohm ratings should match or be as close as possible. The Power output of stereo should meet or exceed speakers.   1. Disconnect speaker wire at radio and speaker. Connect speaker to stereo on seperate wires. Make sure volume of stereo is 0 when you turn it on.Adjust volume until plays loud. If Ok, go to step 2. If OK, don't replace speaker and go to step 2   2. Repeat above test using vehicle speaker. Leave as much of the speaker wire in the vehicle as possible.   If test passes problem is radio or connector that goes to radio. Check for bent or loose pins or sockets. If you have 4 speakers, I would expect all of the wires to be integrated into a single connector that plugs in the radio.   Nothing happens without risk. You could spend time & $ with no results or damage it while working on it.   NOTE: disconnect negative battery cable any time you disconnect or reconnect any electrical connections except if replacing a bulb that you know is turned off Replies to this message: billupstateny (Nov 15, 2009 12:54 am)

#4595 of 4606 Blower motor resistor voltage by jpen83 Nov 19, 2009 (3:23 pm)
I had the blower motor resistor problem on my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee where the connector melts. I am replacing the connector and noticed there is always 12 volts going to the connector, even when my Jeep is off. Is this normal? Replies to this message: rwengr (Nov 20, 2009 7:55 am)
