I typed that above it because I was trying to answer a different question.

I was responding to "tech it would have to be a double over head cam one one each head" and then showing a picture of a SOHC.

 

Thank you all for your help.

 

Now another question....How do I tell if it's high output 265 hp or the smaller 235 hp? There is no info on the sticker in the glovebox and I don't know where else to look.

 

edit: sorry, i didnt see that you were a 4.7 grand cherokee

 

Cherokees didnt come with V8s, you have the Grande Latte Cherokee.

SOHC means Single overhead cam. Bring it to the dealership and have them simply tell you what you have.

 

Sohc is one cam in each head. Dohc is two cams in each head. Ohv is when the cam is in the middle of the block, also known as a pushrod engine. They didn't make a dohc 4.7, only a sohc. About 3-4 guys actually know what they are talking about. Sorry for the debate herb, go to an autozone, they will clear up the confusion for you, or simply call the dealership with the vin number and they can tell you right over the phone.

 

Not necessarily, the Jeep 4.0L is OHV and the cam is on the side of the block.

 

oh come on thats gettin picky..lol

 

......and correct.

 

:Lol yeah you got me...good lookin lol still a pushrod motor though...

 

horse power can be found out by the id number on the motor

will say ho on the air box

 

Welcome to CF, and you have the base 235 HP 4.7L V8. The High-Output version wasn't available in the Laredo or SE models. >->http://www.wjjeeps.com/engine.htm
You can't go by the air-filter housings, as they are easily switched.

 

one note = it was mentioned you have a quadratech II I think you refer to a quadretrac drive line system
