Re: Advice on Considering a Used Jeep Grand Cherokee [taglaca]
I have owned 2 Jeeps, a 2001 JGC Laredo (loaded but with I6 and Selec trac, your best bet in that vintage) and the past 4 years a 07 Laredo with 4.7 V8. Note that one wasn't my first choice but my wife really likes Jeeps and the price was $8k less than the GMCAcadia equivalent features vehicle. So far the 07 has been a good vehicle, at 42k miles no ... Read More

Rear Hatch Makes Noise When Unlocked
Tonight, the rear hatch door on my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee started making a loud (as in I can hear it from several feet away) grinding-like noise whenever the doors are unlocked. Since the doors automatically unlock when the driver's door is opened from the inside or the unlock button on the key ring is pressed twice, it is a bit annoying and worrisome. As far as I can tell, the ... Read More

Re: 2001 Jeep Cherokee SE- Please HELP! [leasewizard]
Your heat problem is due to either a problem with a vacuum motor or a vacuum switch that moves the doors in the vent system. Should be $200 max to fix that. Coolant always flows thru the heater core so there's nothing wrong under the hood, unless core got plugged with debris (highly unlikely). If the paint is bad and/or interior ripped I would sell it, but $800 is too low ... Read More

Re: 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Engine [pilotswife]
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

Re: 2001 Jeep Cherokee Aniv Engine Idle Problems after Rebuil [yeats66]
who installed the engine?? try taking it back to them-then napa!!.. --a GREAT trick i learned with vacum leaks is to take carb cleaner,and a "straw"(like on a can of wd40?) spray around these places that it could be leaking--while the engine is running--if the engine starts stalling-or running faster--THAT'S WHERE YOUR VACUM LEAK IS!!! fixing the leak is the next step.. good luck!!

Re: 2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) Cruise Control/Horn Does not Work [spencer_fortin]
I had the same problem, the cruise control would not engage. What it turned out to be was that my battery had leaked acid on the hose that run's down to the vacuum which is attached to the bumper, and had actually melted it apart. What I did was purchase a 1/4" hose about 6" long from Autozone, attached each end to the broken hose and taped it firmly with hose ... Read More

Re: 2001 Jeep Cherokee Aniv Engine Idle Problems after Rebuil [yeats66]
I suggest a quadruple check on the vacuum lines. Maybe one of the check valves on the valve cover is reversed? Usually a rough idle will eventually be chased down to a vacuum line either partially connected, disconnected, or connected to the wrong place.

Humming Noise
I have a 2001 Jeep Grand cherokee Limited. V8 4.7L. For about 5 months now it has been making this annoying humming sound from the back. You cant hear it from the outside unless you put your head right by the back right wheel area. I took it to a mechanic and he said it could be the fuel pump. So I had the fuel pump replaced. Didn't fix the noise. ... Read More

Re: Grand Jeep Cherokee 2001 Pulsing / Grinding Brakes [astrea]
My 2004 Grand Cherokee had the same problem with pulsating brakes as my 1999. The dealer covered all expenses on my 2004 until 40,000 miles, but after that I was told that the factory 12,000 mile warranty would apply. Since the rotors warp between 12,000 and 18,000 miles just like clockwork, replacing them with factory rotors and shoes was not considered to be a good investment. My Jeep dealer mentioned that ...

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. When I start it up after the engine is at normal operating temperature, it idles rough for a few seconds.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 Cyl.
Hi I am new here and am thankful for a place to talk. My vehicle has a noise that sounds so much like worn pulley bearings that I actually replaced the serpentine belt(thankfully), the idler pulley and installed a new tensioner. Yes, the noise is still there, but the parts I replaced were so lousy, it was probably a good thing. The noise, as listened to through a piece of rubber ... Read More

Re: air intake [mdawg25]
Hi Mdawg25, I would not do anything, but buy a K&N Air filter and run it in the factory air cleaner intake. I was looking myself for the same thing, and decided to go with a K&N Filter (P/N#: 33-2122)on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic. I did not like the unprotected conical round air cleaner out in the open under the hood. It breathes justr as good with using the factory ... Read More

Re: 1998 Jeep Cherokee in need of Mod Help [rushn12]
Find a Dual Battery System, and a high amp alternator. The 98 G Cherokee's have a bolt on 130 amp alternator so you can run off road lights at night, other power tools off an inverter, and your winch without running out of juice, or winch across creeks without running the engine. Then go with 4:10 gears in the differentials so you can turn larger tires, 2" lift = 31" tires, ... Read More
