My 01 Cherokee sport has finally hit the big 200. I was wondering if there are any important repairs that get glanced over. I want to keep her running for as long as possible and I'm always willing to get under the hood.

Recently I've replaced:
spark plugs
fuel injectors (4 hole upgraded)
Fuel rail
Air filter
power steering pump
Steering stabilizer
serpentine belt
Ac compressor
Neutral safety switch
Oil Pan
Front a rear brakes
front and rear shocks


​​​​​

Transmission was swapped with used transmission at 176,000 miles
Wiper blades replaced last week

If you guys have any suggestions on parts I should take a look out please let me know!

Thanks guys!

Keep on Jeeping

Have you replaced the suspension bushings? Those will be most likely be completely worn out with those miles.

I was also going to suggest the transmission input seal. That is a pain when it fails.

I flushed the radiator a while back but that definetly should get done. Thanks for the reminder! Other than that my radiator operates fine

flush the cooling system: Done a while back but definitely need to do it again
water pump: Hasn't been done but still functions
fan clutch: The fan still operates
thermostat: I haven't had any issues, is there more to check?
radiator: Radiator hasn't given me any troubles so far
radiator cap: Like the metal cap that you open to put coolant in?
heater core (optional): Optional is Optional
control arms (this includes the axle bushings): How would this get diagnosed? Just rusty control arms and cracked bushings?
brake hoses: Actually doing that right now
grease any grease fittings: Good advice
diff fluid: Will look into this
transfer case fluid: Will look into this
transmission fluid: Fluid was changed when I changed the tranny. How often should I do this?
motor/transmission mounts: Will look at them tomorrow, am I just looking for rusty mounts?
refresh all grounds: I'm not sure what this means.
clean the throttle body: What should I look for?
clean the IAC: What does this do? What Should I look for?
check for vacuum leaks: Good advice
leafsprings: Definitely could use some love
O2 sensors: I haven't gotten any codes for it.
vibration damper/crank seal: What should I be looking for?
rear main seal (i wouldve done this while the oil pan was off): I believe this was done. My uncle did the oil pan while I was away on vacation and did a few other things. I think this was one of them.
u-joints (axles and driveshafts): Good advice
hub bearings: How do I diagnose this?
rotate tires: New tires recently
trackbar: What should I look for? I think it looks okay
tierods: What should I look for? I think it looks okay
lube the hood latches: Did this recently
check/lube the hood linkage rivited/bolted to the hood: Already had to replace this.

Thank you so much for this list! This is some good advice
