Ok guys, 2000 cherokee 4.0 Trouble began about a month ago. Wife had the jeep and told me that it began to make a grinding noise on startup. I expected the starter not engaging properly. I had the jeep and noticed that not only on start up but also upon shutdown. It would make a slight grinding noise on the last revolution or two when winding down. Well the startup grinding noise has now ceased and the shutdown noise occurs about 5-10% of the time. Now there is another new noise. Occurs randomly when driving, last about a second or so and sounds like a slight screech noise. I have no clue what all this is, but it must be related. I am guessing starter or flex plate, but wanted another opinion before I got to indepth here.
Thanks
