    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    Will do. Engine ran for a good bit in the Garage. Did a 50 mile trip today and temp gauge sat dead in the middle which has been the normal spot. I could be wrong but I thought the fan was a bit stiffer then spinning freely with one strong spin. Will take another look. dlm ny country

    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    I thought it was the condenser fan that came on with AC, not the engine cooling fan. Engine cooling fan has no wires, it's viscous driven. dlm ny country

    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    So I finally got around to installing my fan clutch. No heat in my garage so I am slow to work in a cold garage. I was enjoying driving my BMW and wagon until some chic turned right in front of me and totaled it Thursday night. Thank god I no one was hurt. Had the Grand Cherokee idling for at...

    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    So my fan clutch assemble actually separated from the nut that mounts on the water pump. Just broke away. Old bones I guess. Gonna get a replacement from the online place that doesn't extort your life savings like the box retail joints do. I also have a fan clutch tool for BMW's that WILL fit...

    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    Yeah it's not the 4 bolts that hold the fan assembly on. I am wondering if the mechanical fans use a viscous type fluid on the fan clutch assembly, similar to what older BMW uses that get to a certain temp and then grab causing the fan to turn. That's not my problem, either way. dlm ny country

    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    The fan blade (mechanical) look like it just unscrewed from water pump and is balancing on the end of the shaft. I tried to pull it off but there doesn't seem to be enough clearance between fan shroud and end of water pump threads. Will get a better look in a day or two.It's freezing in NY and...

    2001 Grand Cherokee 4.0 fan blade

    So for the last few days I noticed some weird noise/vibration coming form the front of the car. Been super cold in upstate NY so I was concerned possible tranny issues but much to my surprise today I popped open the hood and saw the fan blade between engine and radiator is wobbling and not...

    JEEP Grand Cherokee Laredo 2001 4.0 Parttime light on

    Partime light came on. I was able to get it off by shifting into neutral and then moving 4wd selector. Went away for a few days but is back on now and won't go off. Drivetrain doesn't feel like it's in 4wd. Faulty transmission solenoid or connector ??? Thanks for help in advance. dlm ny country

    Yeah I know dissing the Jeep on a Jeep forum is a no no. I actually driver older BMW's. Can't afford the new stuff. :) I loved my YJ Wrangler. It's not luxury items either. Funny I mentioned cruise control and mirrors in my last post. I NEVER use cruise control. I needed to use it on my Jeep...

    After one fail on inspection I finally got Jeep inspected. Vehicle runs fine with new(used) PCM. Took over 2 months to get this Grand Cherokee figured out. It is for sale at this point. Runs great but after driving BMW's since the mid 80's the design and engineering in this vehicle is real...

    After some o2 testing my diagnosis was a faulty o2 sensor. Replaced the 1/1 o2 sensor with a NTK and at the moment my Grand Cherokee is running normal with no codes. I will give the system some legs this week, clear the monitors, get an inspection and sell this lump. It's not really a lump, but...

    Thanks for the pinout info... I've been through the grounds in my journey the last 2 moths. Just did a check on fuse 16. Swapped out ASD relay( carries power to 02 heater) just in case. I thought the pinout on the o2 sensor had two white wires for the heaters..no???? dlm ny country

    So the Grand Cherokee Laredo is fixed...sort of. My problems with bad stumble coming off open loop and erratic codes flying all over the place were all because of a PCM that had water damage. Car runs fine without any help form code reader or running code reader evap test. I picked up a used...

    So repair center I sent my PCM out to told me it wasn't't repairable due to water damage. I explained my scenario but was told the unit would crap out while being tested, They only charged me a small % of what I was paying for in servicing the PCM. So I just got another ordered which will...

    I'm in Carmel, NY I got a download manual from FLEAbay. It helped some. Schematic helped me trace out the PCM wire to the evaporation pump feed from PCM which had continuity. Also got this info.. POSSIBLE CAUSES - Vehicle History and Service Bulletin Investigation - Generator source circuit...

    Spoke to mechanic today. He has same results as me. Doesn't know the answer yet either. We both were wondering if there is one sensor that could be pulling the system down once going off open loop. I am thinking still possible PCM which I might send out. I hate to invest over $125 to have it...

    Have been driving the Jeep by using Actron code to run System Evap Test which eliminates my stumble when system goes closed loop. Taking Jeep to a mechanic Monday. Not sure what he will find. Being a vintage car owner I know hot rodders run brand new Corvette motors in old rat rods and trick...

    I spoke to Tech at Actron code reader looking for info on their test signal using the Actron code reader. According to the tech the Actron code reader doesn't actually have software that does does the test, they just tell the PCM to run it's own test. So they really had no answer for me. I...
