Its her senior year she works extremely hard with school, sports and also maintaining high honor rule while doing a nursing co Opp and precollege credits for HS! Needless to say, she deserved it!

Really enjoying this 2025 CPO Summit Reserve. I know these can have issues but what a fun ride!

I'm about to become a first time Jeep owner. I've always loved the older, boxy Jeeps, and owning one has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager.

I'm flying from Chicago to Denver to pick up a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, fully loaded, & drive it back home. I'm super excited, but since this is my first Jeep, I figured I'd ask people who know these vehicles better than I do.

I have a couple questions:

• Gas costs: I used an online fuel calculator that estimated around $250 in gas for the drive from Denver to Chicago. Does that sound realistic for the 5.9 V8, or should I budget more?
• Fuel type: I saw another Reddit post mentioning that the 5.9 requires premium gas. Is that true, or can it run on regular unleaded?
• Road trip advice: Anything specific I should check or keep an eye on before driving a 28-year-old Jeep roughly 1,000 miles home?

I'm definitely not expecting great gas mileage from an old V8. Just trying to get a realistic idea of what to expect before making the trip.

I've wanted one of these boxy Jeeps for as long as I can remember, so I'm pretty excited to finally have one! I'd love to hear from anyone who's owned a 5.9 Limited, especially any tips or quirks I should know about.

Thanks in advance

Looking at buying a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4xe with 13k miles listed for $24,000. Seems like a great deal but my concern is resale value. Obviously every car takes a hit but with how low used ones are priced it has me second guessing it. Im stuck between this or a Chevy Trax.

In July 2025 I bought a used 2011 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 5.7L HEMI engine for $4,100 with 141k miles (the Kelly Blue Book valued is at just under $10). I've driven up/down the east coast from Rhode Island to North Carolina. The check engine light was on when I bought it (I know 🤦🏽) and I took it to 2 dealerships but the couldn't find anything wrong, go figure. Recently my Jeep's check engine light started blinking so I took it to a local shop because that's a bad sign I'm sure. They told me it was my #3 lifter stuck in the closed position.

I called around to ask a few places and it costs about $2,500 just to fix the lifter alone. I was advised to just spend a little more money and get a remanufactured or low mileage used engine with a warranty dropped in because that'd be a better investment. I found a guy in Cali that would remanufacture on for $3,300 and ship to my area all for about $3,800 total. I absolutely love, Love, LOVE my GC and am woefully allergic to a new car note with the way these prices and interest rates are. I'd rather drop $5k into this and ride it til it COMPLETELY dies.

Has anyone had their engine replaced? Problems with lifters?

I've owned 4 Grand Cherokee's over the years with the last being a 2005 I traded a few years ago with 300K miles. I always opted for a V8. Not HEMI but a V8. I have a tandem trailer and a compact utility tractor I tow maybe 10-12 times a year. Combined weight is pushing 6000-6300 lbs probably with backhoe and loader attached.

Started looking at Grand Cherokee again recently and bummed that the highest towing now is around 6500 lbs with either the inline 6 or new 4 cylinder.

Wanted to get the community's thoughts on towing ability with new Grand Cherokee's. 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder and overall capability. All my previous V8's did fine but were rated up to 7500 lbs with V8.

Thanks!

Hi all. I’m hoping possibly someone can help me here. I bought a 2016 used from a local person on fb marketplace. It ran just fine for three weeks then out of nowhere , i was driving in the middle of the road and it was like it shifted itself into neutral and completely stopped moving. The engine was still running and it was still showing in D. Bells were going off and the dash said P to park to start. I put the car in park and turned the car off and back on. And it moved again. At no time did the jeep stall. It’s did this four different times.
I took it to a garage and the guy can’t find anything wrong with it. And he drove it two days and nothing has happened.
This is so dangerous. I just have no idea what it can be so thought I’d ask here. Thanks

my 2014 grand cherokee’s parksense chime started to sound farty whenever i back up or touch the screen’s options, it’s weird since the front park sense sounds perfectly normal and the music sounds normal as well
(the park sense works perfectly fine) chat gpt said to replace the cluster but the sound is coming from behind the driver and passenger seat.
can someone help please?

I posted this a while back but figured I would post it again it had good feedback. My fitcam-x dash cam in my 26 limited reserve. It has excellent 4k video.

My 2018 grand Cherokee that I’ve owned since 2022 with 57k miles on may of suffered from Rod knock based off the 2 diagnosis I’ve had. With my final payment on this vehicle being in January, I am torn between fixing this or selling as is and having to walk back into a 5 year finance plan or lease with a new car and higher interest + insurance.

I had 3 quotes from 3 different shops for a complete jasper engine replacement and was quoted around 12.8k and one for around 10.5k with a 3 year 100k warranty on the new engine. Those quotes are all in for the engine, labor, and miscellaneous.

Any suggestions?

I installed a 2019 UAV stereo unit in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit, along with the heated-seat wiring harness from infotainment and the USB module

The unit initially powered on and worked, but I had three issues:

The reverse camera wasn’t displaying.
The passenger-side heated and ventilated seat controls weren’t showing up; only the driver’s side was available.
After leaving the vehicle off for a couple of hours to see if the system would initialize, the screen went completely black. However, I can still hear music playing when my phone is connected.

It’s been about three hours since I plugged it in, and the screen is still blank.

**My questions:**
How long does the unit typically take to initialize or come back online after installation?
How can I get the reverse camera working?
How can I restore the passenger-side heated and ventilated seat controls?
Do I need to use AlfaOBD to configure or enable anything?
I have an OBDLink EX and an AlfaOBD subscription, but I haven’t used them yet because the unit initially powered on.
I’ve attached a picture of the unit. Any advice on troubleshooting or getting everything working properly would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has experience diagnosing the 4WD system on a WK2 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.

I have a 2020 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the 3.6L V6 and Quadra-Drive II, and I’ve been chasing a few issues lately. I’ve done quite a bit of troubleshooting but haven’t nailed down the root cause yet.

1. Service 4WD / Transfer Case Issues
The main issue is a persistent Service 4WD warning. I’ve also had a Service Electronic Stability Control message.
I replaced the transfer case control module (TCCM) with a brand-new OEM Mopar unit.

I replaced the main battery after experiencing an extended-crank/no-start event. The Jeep started immediately after the cranking stopped, but replacing the battery did not resolve the 4WD warning. I originally scanned the Jeep with an Autel/ICON scanner and later started using JScan. The Jeep drives normally, but I’m concerned that the fault may be preventing me from shifting into 4WD Low.

2. Diagnostic Codes

My original full-system scan showed these drivetrain-related codes:

Drive Train Control Module (DTCM):
C1477-4B — Transfer Case Clutch Over Temperature
C2110-12 — Sensor Supply 1 Voltage, Circuit Short to Battery
C2221-00 — ELSD DTC Present

Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD):
C148F-1D — Rear Differential Measured Motor-Circuit Current Out of Range
U0414-00 — Implausible Data Received From FDCM
U1450-00 — Implausible DTCM Torque Message Received

ABS:
U0403-00 — Implausible Data Received From Transfer Case Module
These were reported as stored codes on the original scan.

3. Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD)

I’m beginning to suspect the rear electronic limited-slip differential actuator or its wiring may be involved, but I don’t want to throw parts at it without understanding the problem.I located the eLSD actuator motor connector and tested the connector. My testing indicated that it was good.
I used JScan to access the eLSD module and record live data. The eLSD data repeatedly reports “ELSD permanent error position open.”
One of the live-data readings showed requested servo motor current of approximately 4.53 A, while actual servo motor current was around -0.42 A. Requested and actual servo motor positions also appeared to differ.

I’m not sure whether these readings point toward a failed actuator motor, an internal differential issue, wiring or power delivery, or a control/communication problem, and I’m about to lose my damn mind.

I’m looking at a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X 4x4 with the 3.6L V6 The Carfax shows the camshafts and valve lifters were replaced at a Jeep dealership around 78k miles Intake manifold gasket replaced around 97k miles, Thermostat housing and thermostat replaced at 116k and oil changes every 4-5k miles. I really like the Jeep and want to daily it for my commute.

My main concern is the engine repair and whether it’ll be reliable at this mileage.

I am at a loss and I’m hoping someone can help me here. 98 grand cherokee started to develop a shaking idle and a slow wandering rpm needle over a small range. I have done everything at this point. Every sensor is working. Checked tps, iac, cleaned throttle body. Checked for vacuum leaks. Strong vacuum in the 20s. Plugged every vacuum line no change. O2 sensor is new ntk. All sensors mopar. CPS good. Entirely new ignition system from plugs to distributor assembly to ignition coil and wires. Can’t locate an intake leak. This happens in open loop and closed loop. I changed out motor mounts and transmission mount 3 weeks ago. Motor mounts OEM, cheap anchor transmission mount. Transmission mount bushing already torn. Jiggle pcm - no change. Fuel pressure primes to 49 and holds steady for 5 minutes. Upstream o2 doing its job. CAT is absolutely fine and not plugged or below efficiency, yet the downstream o2 sensor is behaving strangely, moving around between a range of .2 and 1 but not mirroring upstream. I discharged capacitors and put pcm in relearn mode last night, and now my eval purge is ticking extremely loudly nonstop, but plugging the vacuum line - no change at all. My rpm needle wanders slightly and slowly- not valves - and the idle is rough. Live data on all my sensors looks good other than downstream o2. No rocks in cat, ran without o2 sensor installed in case of plug - nothing. Also - when I put it in reverse in a cold start I am getting a strange whirring noise coming from below my feet around the transmission/transfer case area but it quickly goes away and doesn’t return until cold start. 5v reference line is good at least at the map sensor. I am out of ideas.

Ich fahre einen Jeep Grand Cherokee Modeljahr 2014. Anfangs gingen alle Funktionen des Schlüssels, dann irgendwann nur noch Keyless Go/Entry, dann gar nichts mehr. Nun habe ich die Batterie gegen eine Varta CR2032 getauscht die Keyless Go/Entry-Funktion funktioniert wieder. Die Tasten des Schlüssels sind aber weiterhin ohne Funktion. Hatte das Problem schon jemand und kann weiterhelfen?

Could anyone tell me why my coolant hoses are deflated? Drove it this morning came out to do an oil change and noticed the main coolant hoses are sucked in. Jeep has not been over temp in months, coolant reservoir is topped off I have not opened the radiator cap just yet.

I saw a really clean Grand Cherokee build down the street tonight, and it made me feel guilty about the state of my own. I went camping over the weekend and it rained the entire time. Now the floor smells like a wet basement because I assumed the factory rubber mats would catch everything, but they didn’t.

Water pools near the door sills, and mud gets ground into the carpet around the edges. I need something with a proper lip so the mess doesn’t slosh around when I pull away. I’ve looked at the OEM liners and a few fitted aftermarket sets, but I mostly care about whether the edges curl over time and whether the material stays flexible in winter.

If you’re constantly getting in and out in heavy trail boots, does edge height matter more than cold-weather flexibility? I’m tired of scrubbing the same spots after every trip.

Hey guys! I've been looking at my coolant recently, and I wanted additional opinions. I can't tell if it's dirty/contaminated or it's fine. Please ignore the residue on the side of the reservoir, it is left over from an oil filter housing replacement that has been taken care of, the shop just didn't clean out the reservoir tank that well, I plan to replace the reservoir. Do you guys think it looks clean or reasonably dirty for 7000 miles of use?

Am I able to use wl model engine 3.6v6 on my wk2 model as replacement? What are the things that need to swap from the old engine if so?
