Hello fella's,
Just bought a 2000 Cherokee Classic 4.0 Auto. Was driving a Grand Cherokee Laredo V8 for about 3 years, and decided I'd never own anything but a Jeep so far as SUV's go.
My Grand Cherokee has 200,000 miles on her and recently had a major issue with the AWD system, so I parked it until I get it figured out.
Needed a new vehicle and was fortunate enough to have a friend who is the Controller at a local Northern Va. Jeep/Chrysler dealership. They got the 2000 Classic in on trade. It has 77,000 miles on the odometer, and seems to run perfectly. A couple things I've noticed:
1) I seem to have to crank it for awhile when starting it cold. After it's warm it seems OK. I have a 3 month warranty, so if this is abnormal I will take it back rather then mess with it myself just yet. No gas smell or anything like that it just seems to take a bit more time then I am used to to start.
2) I hear a low tone "wah, wah, wah...." noise at low speeds from the ass end. I'm reasonably sure it isn't tire noise, I know what that sounds like. Something to be concerned about?
3) Not a big deal here, but I am missing a center hub piece on one of the wheels.....are they available out there in the aftermarket? Bone yard perhaps?
I am pretty good with a wrench, but like I mentioned have a warranty, so I'd like to take advantage of it before having to get my hands greasey.
This is a great forum, I look forward to learning all about this truck.
Thanks
Truce
