Hello everyone this is my very first post, and here's my question to you vets.
I have a 96 Cherokee 4.0 Automatic, and everything is fine with it, but today while traveling down a fire road with some ruts and mud holes (nothing big really) the Jeep stalled on me when I hit these ruts. This happened twice, and I was a bit perplexed as to what could cause something like this. The Jeep is completely stock, and I was not in 4WD. I previously had a 5 Speed TJ, and obviously this was never an issue.
Anyone have any Idea if this is a common occurence? Is my suspension too stiff? Perhaps I need to switch the transmission from Drive to 3 or maybe 2-1? I was going about 8-10 MPH when this occured... not fast at all.
Thanks for all your help!
