#23 of 64 Re: changing plugs on '04 straight six [georgeda] by c_nisse Aug 13, 2007 (7:46 am)
Replying to: georgeda (Jun 15, 2007 4:26 am) Just did mine and was able to loosen the 4 bolts holding the coil and just wiggle it loose and slide in enough out of the way to get to the plugs without having to disconnect and remove the coil. There was some creative socket wrenching involved, but definitely not rocket science.

#25 of 64 water pump by bald Feb 18, 2007 (7:05 am)
I need to change a water pump on a 200 grand cherokee. It has a 4.0 liter engine. Any tips or helpful tricks would be appreciated Replies to this message: louie619 (Mar 17, 2007 5:30 pm) bgafford (Apr 01, 2007 3:09 pm) bgafford (Apr 01, 2007 3:12 pm)

Replying to: bald (Feb 18, 2007 7:05 am) Since no one replied to your question, I had to do the R & R on the 97 Grand Cherokee without any helpful hints. I took a quick look at the work manual at Autozone and went to work.   1) lift out fan and shroud at the same time--only two nuts at the top hold the shroud in place; the lower shroud tabs just fits into slots down below (great idea)--4 nuts hold fan assembly to pulley. (these take a little time to remove and replace)   2) Loosen idler tension bolt on power steering assembly to loosen serpentine belt and remove.   3) Loosen 3 bolts from front that hold power steering bracket to power steering pump/intake manifold and remove one bolt that holds power steering bracket to block.   4) Remove the one bolt that holds the idler that is on other side of pump and remove idler.   5) Remove the four water pump bolts, tap the pump to break seal, and remove from engine. Clean gasket off block.   6) Replace thermostat while it's easy--we got the correct one at the dealer with the little ball valve (only $1 more than wrong one from Autozone) Replace upper and lower radiator hoses and serpentine belt with new.   7) Remove rigid pipe from top of old pump and install on new pump (I used thread sealant)   8) Remove pulley studs from old pump and install on new pump.   7) Replacement of pump is the reversal of removal !!   PS: use some type of gasket cement on water pump gasket -I used 'right stuff' on this one.

#30 of 64 jeep cherokee country by jake96cherokee Jun 23, 2007 (11:08 pm)
I just sold my old car and now i have a 96 Jeep Cherokee Country. The jeep still belongs to my dad so i cant install my stereo and speakers my usual way(rip everything out and hope it goes back together). Anyways, i am having trouble taking my wood grain face plate off. I have removed all of the screws but i can not pull it off without taking the plastic case around the base of the steering wheel off. Is there any way of doing this without taking it into a shop. Also if i pop out the screens to the roof mounted speakers in the trunk will i be able to but it back on or better yet would it be possible to put my 6 1/2's in the back. any help at all would be appreciated sorry for such a long message
#31 of 64 '89' Cherokee Battery (eleltrical) problem by gepper Oct 17, 2007 (4:12 pm)
I was out of town all winter last year and my battery was ruined. My boy friend tried to jump start it using a large battery charger/jump starter hooked on the the battery posts. This didn't work and I had to replace the battery. Now I get power to everything but the ignition switch. Nothing that works that is supposed to when the key is on. 4 inline fuses from the battery seem to be OK, but still no ignition. Fuse panel has power. Anyone know where else to check.

Replying to: gepper (Oct 17, 2007 4:12 pm) If you can use a volt meter or know someone who can, there are some fuses on the passenger fender that you need to check.   They are not your typical fuses, but if you lift the cover on the fender, you can traced the positive battery terminal wires to a silver box with seven wires coming out of it : )   This is kind of like a nerve central relay, and if any of those wires are burnt, then you will need to replace the fuses there, which happens alot with battery jumps, other electrical spikes.   Trust me, had it happen when our insurance carrier forced me to install a anti theft system.   Randy rc   Keep the rubber side pointed down, or at least sideways : )
