Commander Mechanicals

We've just purchased a Commander Limited. Replaced our '98 G.Cherokee that we lost in an accident.

Looked it over at my shop and man, this girl is strange!

The power steering fluid from pump drives the radiator fan motor as well as the steering rack. Talk about German influence. Only on the HEMI since the power distribution center (relay box) shows 2 empty fan relay sockets. (v6 and small 8 are electric?)

Something else really weird. The transmission cooler and a/c condensor share the same RADIATOR! Never seen this in my lifetime. Wow, trans cooler leak? Time to recharge your a/c, sir.

The exhaust system is massive. Must be close to a 3" pipe, 3 foot long muffler plus a resonator at the rear. Would have liked a more agressive sound myself.

Carlos

Re: Commander Mechanicals

SO with the Hemi don't you have the Quadra-drive II full time 4wd system?

If so, very nice.

Re: Commander Mechanicals

Yes, with the limited-slip differentials. Much better set-up than our '98 5.2ltr.
Sadly, no snow up here. Today we hit 57^f, 13^c... wow.
