Roaring noise coming from my wifes 98 Grand Cherokee rear D44. Pulled the axles and here is a pic. There are grooves and some pitting. The front one is the passenger side, had 1 groove I can get my whole fingernail in. The back one is the driver side, much worse. Lots of pitting and several...

I just picked up a 2000 Cherokee in great condition with only 77,000 miles on the clock! It's black, my color, and in excellent condition. It has a cracked head, imagine that, and I found a ton of water in the oil. Here's my question.......is the engine worth rebuilding (new bearings?) or will...

Hey Guys, I'm selling my red cherokee so I can get a lift for my other one I have......this thing is in great condition! Has 240k miles but the lady who previously owned said the engine was replaced around 180k, I have no way of verifying that though...........it has all power options. It also...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I am at work and internet time is limited.........I found a great deal on a 2001 4.0 engine out of a Cherokee with 50,000 miles. I know it's the distributorless engine but can it be made to work for a 99 jeep cherokee (which is what I...

Hey guys, I picked up a 95 Grand Cherokee yesterday for $500! It has no spark though. The guy I bought it from said the service place told him it needed a new computer, I'm not convinced of that yet. It's getting fuel just fine, no spark though. I checked the coil and it has 1.4v of...

I have a 99 Cherokee that has a 98 engine in it. While driving to work yesterday morning every 2-3 miles I would feel a cutout in the engine. Cutout is th best way I can describe it. I kept my eye on the oil and temp gauge and they remained unchanged. As I went on the cutting out started...

So I broke a lug stud while removing a wheel on my 99 doing a brake job. I go to my local O'Reily's to get a new one, here's the story: Me, with a non broken stud in hand for reference to the counter lady "I need a wheel stud for a 99 Jeep Cherokee, 4.0" Her "Is it a Grand Cherokee or just a...

1998 Cherokee 4.0, I have the oil pan off, replaced the rear main seal. There is a brace running the full length of the crankshaft that sits on top of the main caps. What do these nuts torque to on top of the main caps, not the main caps themselves, but the nuts for the brace on top of the main...

Alright, so I'm putting in my new engine, removing the old one today. Turned the nut to loosen the shifter linkage from the transmission and snap, the bolt broke right off with very little pressue. This is the bolt that goes right inside the tranny and performs the actual shifting. It has 2 flat...

I picked up my used engine over the weekend. I got it home and cleaned the dirt off........the engine code on the valve cover is ZJ not XJ ! This is a 96 ZJ (Grand Cherokee) engine. I had already planned on replacing the electrical stuff anyway.........the timing cover looks different than my...

Hey guys, I sold my other Jeep Cherokee but just acquired a new one today. It's a 99 Cherokee and needs an engine. I've located a 96 4.0, will it fit into the 99 with no problems????? Is there a chart somewhere to review the swap info???? Thanks, Dean p.s. glad to have another...

I have a 99 cherokee with 31" tires on the stock wheels. Is anyone running a spacer by chance with this setup? I am trying to get the rear tires out a little bit but dont want to go too far out and look like one of the homeys in a low rider :doh: . If anyone has wheel spacers with stock wheels...

These little popup boxes that pop up all the time when I'm not even mousing over the text in the thread!

I finally got the engine in today and WOW it runs so much better than the 160K engine I took out. I did the swap because the old engine had a faint knocking to it, didn't trust it. Anyway, the point of this post was to tell how I put the engine in. There was an earlier discussion in the week...

All, I've read about freeze plugs and pressure testing the cooling system before installing the engine to check for leaks. Who carries such a device and what is it called by name? Just "Cooling system pressure checker"????? I installed brass freeze plugs and want to doublecheck for leaks...

One day not long ago I went to rent a small 8 foot utility trailer from U-Haul. They looked up the Jeep Cherokee and it came back that it wasn't a strong enough vehicle to tow a small 8 foot utility trailer. I guess my question is this, I know with it being a unibody construction and all, but...

I'm almost ready to install my new engine in my 99 Cherokee, question...is it easier to install with the motor mounts off of the engine and already bolted to the frame? I ask this question because it was a PITA trying to get the long bolts out of the mounts while wiggling it loose from the...
