Hey Dale,

Chrysler actually renamed the Cherokee line to "Liberty" in 2001 for the North American market. Unfortunately for you this site is American, so you won't find any Cherokees here between 2001 and 2014.

There's a great site over at http://www.lostjeeps.com/ that focuses on the KJ platform, though.

Good luck!

 

Appreciate the info. Will check out.

Cheers

Dale

Just replaced my fuel injectors & exhaust manifold. Now occasionally its stumbling at idle from 300-1000 rpm, and when I switch it into park it jumps to 1200 for a moment then back down. Sometimes it just idles smooth at 700-800 rpm.

Is this the usual "I smacked the IAC" when doing my exhaust? Can I clean that or is it generally broken from the smacking?

No hissing or anything from exhaust gasket, no leaking from injectors that I can see. Fuel rail pressure was fine yesterday before changing injectors out.

 

I bought a 96 SE real cheap from a buddy. Floors were real rusted out and needed a few other things. Ran fine for a few weeks and now it seems to be stuck in 3rd. If i put the shift lever in 1/2 it starts in first and will shift to second as it should. I'm not getting any check engine lights so I cant check for any codes. This is a real low millage jeep (117k) so I doubt the trans is totally trashed.

I've completely drained and refilled the trans with fresh fluid so I know its not a fluid level or quality issue. I've also checked all fuses and they're all good. Any thoughts?

 

I bet you have a bad solenoid. It is easy to check and fix.

"To check solenoids in transmission without removing pan - removed plug off TCU that is located Rt side dash under clove box -with key in off pos.- volt/ohm meter check pos. lead terminal C14 converter clutch solenoid should read 11-15 ohms, terminal C15 shift solenoid #2 should read 11-15 ohms, terminal C16 #1 shift solenoid should read 11-15 ohms make sure you have good ground on - lead. If solenoid cks good problem is else were loose wires or tps" originally posted by McRay

That is for a cherokee though.

 

FINE YOU CAN KEEP YOUR STUPID FREE FILTERS!



You smacked the IAC?? No bueno

 

No, I just remember reading people in manifold replacement threads say they messed up some sensors during the reinstall. I might just double check all my connections, and add a touch of grease to the vacuum connections. We're getting dumped on with snow though, so I gotta go ski tomorrow first

 

How much can you cut up from the rear lower panel by the bumper before the unibody splits? I have typical rot around that area and don't want to completely fold the whole thing, but partial would be nice.

 

test

 

Not sure how you mean... You can cut up as high as the cut & fold area no problem. I actually capped mine slightly below the brackets that hold my 1999's bumper caps on.

Test failed. Has to be in the form of a question.

 

I just replaced the alternator and I started my jeep up and it ran fine for a few minutes so I shut it off and went back inside and went to leave a few hours later and now it starts and runs for two seconds then shuts off I'm mind boggled any help please ???

 

salad....what does your jeep look like?

 

I've got a LOUD squeak that I've been chasing for some time, I've changed the alternator, idler pulley, and water pump. The terrible sound is coming right from the front, center of the engine right at the water pump. So I'm thinking it's the water pump pulley. I know it doesn't have bearings, but I've changed the belt, and the same groove that was worn in my old one returned to my new belt, with the squeak which had stopped for a day or so with the new belt. I'm wondering if that pulley could cause such a crazy loud noise first of all...and second, when I look for this part, it keeps returning this crown "fan pulley" (53010309) which is said to mount on the water pump. But the actual mopar water pump pulley(53002907) that i found looks to have a larger center opening. I want to know if the crown pulley is the same; or if it'll work.

 

I bet a lot of the older guys here will remember the old Amsoil filters that used toilet paper.

I had a neighbor that used to sell them. He would always show me his dipstick with clear clean oil, even after thousands of miles.

I don't know if they're still around, but I seem to remember they got some bad reviews because they removed all the additives from the oil (or something like that)

Anybody remember those?
