Weird sound from my jeep
I have a 98 Cherokee 4.0 L with 102,000 miles and all of a sudden it started making this noise... Does anyone have Amy recommendations?
Thanks!
Thanks!

GADS! Its a squirrel rumble. I wouldn't mess with them. Something driven by the belt. Your gonna need to take it off to fix it so maybe take it off then start checking things. Fan clutch, alternator..... You might run it a bit (cold),then feel for something that's hot.

Ah....Good idea.
But, it shouldn't be on unless it's hot or the AC is on? The fan clutch slippage might remain somewhat constant with change in rpm.

Thanks everyone for you thoughts! The sound does remain constant, it doesn't change with the rpms or A/C... I have been working 15 hour days and have not gotten a chance to take a look at it, once I do I will let you know what it is...
