I have a 2002 Jeep grand cherokee limited 4.0 select trac and over the past 2 weeks I have noticed that when I turn and hit the gas at at the same time (like turning or going around a U-turn) my truck bucks a little. Like something is not catching. If I'm going stright and hit the Gas hard its fine no bucking it only happens when I'm turning and hitting the gas at the same time. My Jeep has 67,000 miles. I'm not sure what the problem is

 

My 98 did this when I was in full time 4wd and I had a tire that was low. Since then I have kept an eye on tire pressure. But like I said I was in full time 4wd so I don't know if this is related to your problem or not.

 

Selec-Trac... if you are in 2WD then your t-case lever may be hung up and not actually shifting out of 4 Part time, or 4 LO.

ONLY use 4 Part time or 4 LO OFF ROAD, never on pavement.

 

The problem was that because my Trans fluid was low every time I took a turn the fluid would move to one side and my Trans would slip. Fixed the hose and filled up the Trans and good to go. Thanks for all your input
