AWESOME. I just bought one from a friend but now ex-friend. He raised the offer price just before I bought it by $300. Oh well, it was a 04 Grand Limited WJ with 145,000 ml. He had the big package of the 4.7L. He had a cover for it but parked it and never used the cover. So far it is tires, a battery and power steering pump. Hopefully no more problems with it as I got for 1/3 book price. WHAT A BLESSING.

I own a 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 I6. Problems I’ve run into that seem to be common with the 4.0 I6 WJ: -Brake light housing bad connection (causes brake lights to go haywire while running lights are on) -Window regulator failure (always keep wedges for windows on deck) -Calipers tend to warp rotors (causes death wobbles only when braking) -Radiator leak causing overheating (plastic top hose intake cracks) -Cylinder 3 misfire (caused by heat soak) -Struts fail (struts under hood and tailgate fail) -Knocking noise from transmission (flex plate and torque converter bolts come loose and make knocking noise) -A/C doors get messed up -Valve cover gasket oil leak -Body Control module failure (running lights flicker, horn honks, displays flicker, etc.) -Side mirrors get loose and fold too easily (can be pushed close by wind) -PCM failure (power control module fails causing car to stall while driving or idling/will not start) -Transmission fluid leak -Carbon build up in throttle body (just needs cleaning) -Hose to pcv dry rotted (easy fix) -Water pooling up in passenger floorboard (AC condensation drain gets clogged, clean line with a wire) -Cam shaft position sensor failure (can also cause misfire) -Door skin panel clips break easily (I have a burning hate for those clips) -Brake dust covers ABS sensor causing ABS light -OEM Front door 6X9 Speakers blow out easily That is about all I have run into over a long time of owning a WJ. Quick tip: if you have a OBD II scanner that isn’t picking up codes always check the onboard scanner, start with key in off position then turn it to the start position without cranking, repeat 2 more times and this will tell you all the codes.

I have an 04 limited as well as an 18 cherokee trailhawk and the WJ is still my daily driver. I put over 200k on it myself after I bought it in 05. Over the years I've had plenty of issues: thermostat, new radiator, starter, alternator, FIVE window regulators, rebuilt front diff, new crankshaft, front cd player eject broke and no clock or radio display. Also a few batteries, brake jobs and tires and tons of light bulbs. There is also a gremlin which will turn on the rear lights that won't turn off unless u drive forward. Original exhaust, although the hanger broke a few times. It also leaks oil like a civ having said all that, it runs great, has a perfect driving position, excellent vision all the way around and it's a blast to drive. I love it!!

I replaced my thermostat with a cheap one from the local auto parts store and noticed that it didn’t have the small circulation hole near the top like the old one, reside in the warm climate of Hawaii. So I put the new thermostat in place to mark where I was going to drill a small hole towards the top. I used a 7/64 drill bit and made my circulation hole, then did the install. While I was at it, I replace the coolant sensor, which is easier to replace outside the vehicle. The whole job took me about 35 minutes and has been working great for almost a year now. Great video! 5 Stars in my book. I love my Jeep!

Window regulators: If you live in a hot area like central CA, the plastic in the window regulators break easily. Here's what to do to avoid breakage, when you roll the windows all the way up, release the cable tension by momentarily pushing the "down" on the window switch. When lowering the window all the way, push the up on the switch to release the cable tension. You can thank me later.

Drivers window got stuck halfway up AND after turning off the vehicle it wouldn't start. One mech told me it was up in the engine area because he used his jump starter to avoid the interlock and the car started; estimate 300 bucks for parts alone. After research, I cut open the boot holding the wiring between the drivers door and the engine compartment, found a broken wire and fixed it with a band-aid. Did go get the proper wire bridge that day and has been fixed for the past 5 months for $12.

I got tools to help me work on the Jeep now (jack stands, floor jack, and a creeper) so I can better work on it. Pretty soon I'll be replacing the power steering pump, oil pressure sensor, the thermostat and possibly the water pump.

Good video. I love the WJ series Grand Cherokees. I have 2 2004 WJs, one with the inline 6, the other one is a special edition with the 4.7 V8 all time 4WD. I have had to replace the window regulator on the special edition and I had to do new seals on rear differential, axels, ball joints on the 6 cylinder. Over all these are great vehicles for where I live (Colorado) and would probably buy another one if it was in good shape with lower miles. So much more comfortable than the XJ.

Recently reviewed all these comments. Made me laugh to read all the stupid nonsense. 2nd gen Jeep Grand Cherokee's are roughly all 20 year old vehicles, with most having over 200,000 miles. People comments about what a bad experience they had with their Jeep. Ha, ha, ha. These are the last best built SUV's made, and they are reasonably priced. Maintenance issues are a fact of life with older vehicles, but these Jeeps where built to be abused in a way that a newer SUV will not withstand, period!

Well the heads cracking is most commonly cause by incorrect maintenance of the cooling system. Doesn't matter how many warnings there are in manuals or stickers in the engine bay, people don't bleed the system properly after refill. "the air works itself out " is the common cry. Well it doesn't in many engines. That's why bleeding is essential. The other thing people can't get through their heads is that when a modern car overheats you STOP. Oh, we're only 8 miles from the mechanic or it's only 7 miles back home..it'll be ok. Well it WON'T be ok. Even an expensive tow is a lot cheaper than a new engine. Use your heads and you won't crack your heads.

Nice overview. I’m in the process of restoring a 2003, 4.7L HO. I’d like to mention two things I learned. 1). When doing any work that requires new radiator fluid, you MUST properly bleed the system. It’s the only way to get the air out of the system. It’s a simple process, and it does not take a lot of tools. But this process is extremely important to ensure the proper operating temperature. If you hear a gurgling noice coming from under the hood after you shut the engine off, you have air trapped in your coolant system. Please don’t ignore this. It may lead to serve damage to the engine. All you need is a 3/8” ratchet or breaker bar, and a 3/8” drive, 8mm socket. 2) If you are experiencing blend door issues, make sure you check the actuator. The “shafts” on the actuators are plastic. Over time they deteriorate, become brittle, and brake. Removal and installation of the actuator is very simple. Only 2 screws and a single electrical fastener. The brand new part is about $60-70. Or you can check at a local junk yard, and get one for $15-20. If the shaft is not broken, it usually works fine. I always pay $1-2 more at the junk yards to get a 30-45 day warranty.

2003 GC Overland 4.7 .. Had the blend door issue twice. Replaced 3 window regulators (both rear windows and drivers window twice). Rear axle seals replaced. For the last 2 years I have been fighting seized brake calipers. All wheels have had seized calipers that had to be replaced with fronts being done twice. Replacement calipers were under warranty but still why?? I think it is the material the pistons are made of .. shrugs. Currently have to replace rear seal on transfer case but no hurry. I use mine mostly in the winter now. Was my daily driver for work until this year. Other than the rockers rusting out (Ontario salt for winter) it has been fairly good vehicle. You definitely want to be able to do the work yourself if you own a Jeep.

I now have had a 2004, 2000, and now a 1999. The 00 and 04 lasted each one summer before everything started breaking. The 99 has blinker and tail light issues but other than that it has been ok. Nothing beats a 1st gen 1995 with a 2" lift from factory and the only jeep with true part time 4wd and true 4wd low. Look it up. Made it amazing off road.

just bought a 2002 jeep. the rear differential is a prolem I think due to age. It looks like the rear bushings are pushing out is that dangerous and what happens. Also the axel seal is leaking I guess there is muddy junk and the back of the brake hub is that dangerous? and how. Also on the rear A arm the mounting bushings are starting to separate what happens if that goes

The window regulator on WJ is cable driven and usually the plastic guides break. The Blend doors that bind are only the Dual Zone heater systems. This is what the Blend door sub assy was releasd for.

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited edition and I lost the key and took it to the dealership to make a new one. Well when I got it back everything worked fine except that now the interior lights dont come on when the driver door is open. also the seatbelt light dose not turn off when we get buckled in. Is there anything I can do to remedy this problem. The dealership said the key was programed to the jeep and they cant do anything about it.

I have a 2002 GC 4.7 liter that “groans” when turning at low speeds. I’ve changed out the differential transfer case lubricant and made sure as used the Mopar specified stuff that matches the tag on the case. It didn’t seem to help, at least immediately. Will it take time or could it be something else. Thanks

My 1999 has all those problems and more :) Latest issue is a phantom load that drains the battery and a drivers side door key that no longer opens the door. It goes in the hole, will turn left and right, but won't unlock the door. Battery is dead, so key fob won't unlock the door either. Had to figure out how to pop the hood with a long pole, then recharge battery, then could use the key fob to unlock. What a pain.

Our jeep gc 2000 has 126000 miles and it checks out great on everything but stalls out while idling, and while driving. Something to do with the electrical? Was told we need a sensor, but found there are many sensors and don't know which one to start. I'm not mechanical, just want to know what to ask for? If you have any suggestions.

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 Liter Limited. I changed all four oxygen sensors and I still have the same issue. The issue is that sometimes it stalls on me and sometimes when I hit the gas it starts ti jerk and makes a loud noise while I’m pushing on the gas. Once I let go of the gas after a few seconds it goes back to normal and drives ok. However it does it every day while I drive. Sometimes when I turn it on I can hear the idle go up and down and sometimes it shuts down the engine. I thought it was the TPS but after searching on KZbin it doesn’t give me all of the Simpson’s that a vehicle have when it has a bad TPS. Thanks for talking about the top five issues. I know I have a bad blend door on my Jeep. I have to fight with it until it finally blows either cold in summer or hot in winter. I hope to hear from you, thanks, Ed.

We have a 2001 Jeep Grand Laredo with 153,000 miles on it. It had oil leaks and suspension problems. Five thousand dollars later it is mint except for the power steering hose needing to be change due to slow leak. The only problem is that my niece is afraid of it because it has a high center which scares her because she feels it sways a little. I guess we'll have to lower it now.

Got a 1999 grand Cherokee limited 4.7 yesterday it runs great but I was told it will randomly shut off and start back up 15-20 minutes later if you have anything you could suggest that would be great. (I was thinking either something getting hot or a fuel air ratio problem)

I have a 99 4.7 quadra drive. I have loose steering. I replaced gear box and tie rods last year no resolution. I put a complete 4” lift in with dual steering stabalizer 2 days ago and new tie rods again, of course had alignments both times and still play in my steering. Ball joints are solid and as I said put reman steering gear in last year. Garage that did my alignment say its somewhere between the steering wheel and pitman arm but didnt investigate. What else could it possibly be? Im at a loss
