    Do you wax your Jeep?

    I wash my jeep every time it rains if it needs it or not. A jeep is the only vehicle you can climb out of covered when its covered in mud while in a tux at a wedding and everyone would just smile and laugh why waste the water

    2014 Cherokee has a new look

    My house has two Cherokees a yj wrangler and a 2008 grand. I was really hoping the new Cherokee would be more a Jeep than a suv. I drive 600 miles a week in my Cherokee and love every mile. I was just hoping it would be a new Jeep.

    When the check engine light came on I put my code reader on it. The first few times the code came up as "no codes" as I have a $30 reader I went to both autozone and advanced auto they both came up with the p0194 code but do not carry the part. Now every time I get in it will come in with tat...

    Weird vibration on restart

    Ok seems to be heat related and fuel related I'm thinking the fuel is vaporizing in the rail. Does any one know if insulation would help? The jeep needs to be run at least five to ten minutes and then sit for five to ten minutes sitting for less or more and the issue does not occur. Thanks

    Weird vibration on restart

    No misfires more of a vibration I initially thought a bad pully but everything is tight and no squeaks or squeals no check engine light if it's a misfire it would have to be at least two cylinders dropping out but engine seems to rev very smooth Thanks

If I shut it off and restart it with in about five minutes like when I get gas it has a bad rumble for about 20 seconds after which it goes away and does not return. It only happens under this scenario and by the time I et the hood open it is...

    Sputtering and not starting

    I would check to see if any insulation came off the gas line look closely to the area near the exhaust manifold. Sounds like a vapor lock situation to me. The next time it happens turn the key on and do not start the engine for 10-15 seconds this will repressurize the fuel system and might help

    1998 Grand Cherokee 5.2l knocking/rattle

    A little more info from what I looked at today. the noise seems to be coming from the bottom of the engine most noticable from just behind the drivers door about 3 ft away.

    Ticking sound

    I would look into the fuel injectors, they can tap/click under some conditions, this will normally go away as the injectors are worn under normal use. When I worked on hondas this was one of the most common complaints we had. Try switching fuel brands and a few cans on cleaner. This may free...
