Cherokee Questions
I am new to the forums and I have found tons of information here, but I do have 2 questions.... I have a 1994 cherokee sport. I have a smell of gas coming from (i think) the rear area. The gas tank was replaced, both lines seem to be completely connected etc. I cant see a leak at any time. The jeep does need work, I just replaced the rocker panels, bearings, u joints, center console, and this weekend the carpeting. I have a slight oil leak (3-4 drops a night) from somewhere around the oil filter I know the valve cover gasket should be replaced, but this leak is saturating the filter, and the entire oil pan, i am not so concerned with it as I am the gas smell, as I can add a splash of oil every now and then. Any ideas on the gas smell, I do have any exhaust leak on the manifold, but this isnt exhause smell, it is straight gas.
Also, after my ranting, will grand cherokee seats fit in the cherokee? I found a nice set of leather grand cherokee seats and would love to swap them. |
i would check the o-ring on the sending unit to the tank and the fuel filter...
idk about the seats though.... |
Thanks for the reply, I will check that out. I have to grab a haynes manual for this model jeep. Anyone know about the seats?
Also the jeep vibrates in the rear when I hit 45-50 mph, it does it when i am on the accelerator or off, thinking maybe u joint? |
Anyone?
|
no problem but maybe the wheels arnt balanced?
|
Might be one of the vent hoses on top of the tank. Mine fell off and I would get a gas smell when I put gas in it
|
Thanks again for the replies, I think I figured out two problems, the gas tank was put on without a seal where the sendiong unit/pump meet the tank, so i have to try and find one, no luck so far.... the vibration it looks like the U clamp/bracket that holds the rear from moving is broken/loose so I will have that fixed Asap...
Now anyone know if seats from a grand cherokee will fit in the cherokee? Witha little adjustment of course |
What year grand cherokee? I don't believe they will fit but I can look into it for you.
|
It is a 1996 grand cherokee
Thanks |
you should be able to get that seal at autozone, if not try some place where the counter guys actually know parts.
|
the seats will work but you will probly have to change the seat brackets
|
the system might be out of timing allowing it to run rich.. the comment is a little above my pay scale (80% sure its a possibility)
and as for the oil leak.. maybe a rear main seal? |
Buddy over on NAXJA told me that they will work. He doesn't even mention changing seat brackets.
