I have a 97 Grand Cherokee - 4.0L. Absolutely love it! Only annoying issue is that the exhaust rattles intermittently..no pattern to it. Anyone else have this issue? What did you do to correct it?

Did you check to see if you have a broken or loose hanger? Those can cause rattle. Also crawl under the rig and shake your muffler and pipes (make sure their cooled off) and see if you can track down the noise. Make sure you post your findings so all of us can learn all we can.

My jeep had the same problem. It turned out to be the baffles inside the muffler, so fitted new muffler and now it's fine. hope this helps?
