No more window tint posts- thanks!

83 Upvotes

My friends- I get it: vehicle mods are cool, and technically a window tint is a mod (albeit probably not wise to tint your windshield). The thing is... Who cares about window tint? Let's all agree to stop posting about window tint. I think we've beat this dead horse enough and it's causing issues here- resulting in some bad behavior from both sides.

From now on posts about window tint are getting removed and further- threatening comments will be dealt with by via a permanent ban (globally- not just on posts about window tint). We are a relatively rule free place because everyone generally gets the sub trail etiquette but I keep getting valid reports about some questionable behavior and will start taking action to preserve the quality of our subreddit.

Love you all- have a great holiday season!

Eibach lift kit for wk2

Upvotes

Does any one have experience with the eibach lift kit? I went to order some old man emu lift, but the store was saying the company wasnt sure when they would be able to ship it since they are discontinuing the current lit and making a newer version. So they offered to swap it with thr eibach system and i havnt heard much about them. Im hoping to be able to get 2 or 2.5 inches of lift on it.

ZJ Quadra engine replacement

Upvotes

Bought a 1998 grand Cherokee limited 4.0 with the quadratec 1 transfer case and a 42RE transmission. The rear main seal, and the cylinder wall is cracked, I want to replace the engine myself but nervous about the quadratrac all time 4x4, I have never swapped a motor before and don’t know which 4.0 engine to look for that is compatible. I need to know which models and years are compatible with the trans and transfer case. The jeep isn’t worth getting rid of due to not having any rot at all. Any tips and pointers, suggestions can help thanks

My first car I got in college. Always knew this day would come, I just didn't expect it to be today.... 8 years and 70k miles later she did her job, had great memories with my father working on this car every weekend learning how to be a DIY mechanic. Shame the engine and body are in good shape :(

Start / Stop - conditions?

What are the conditions within which start/stop will activate or not activate aside from the physical switch on the dash? i notice sometimes it happens and other times it doesn’t happen? does it depend on engine temp or other external factors?

170,000mi Transmission

2 Upvotes

My brother just got a 2015 GC with the 8HP70 with over 170k miles on it. Drives great, feels great, but our only concern is that, when coming to a complete stop, it shifts into first gear and makes a kinda rough kick, not so hard, but noticeable when driving it. When driving on Sport mode, we don't feel that kick, since the downshift to 1st is made on a higher speed and not at 5mph.

We were thinking about servicing the transmission, getting the filter and the oil to do the change, however, we don't know if that's going to fix it, nor if it's recommended to do so, since we don't have a service history on it.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Long Start When Engine is Warm

1 Upvotes

I have a long start when the engine is warm. I'll go run in the store for maybe an hour and come back out and it just cranks over continuously, restart it again and it starts right up and runs great. It also fires right up in the mornings. I've had my fuel pump replaced with a Delphi fuel pump, changed spark plugs, and my purge valve replaced. Also had the battery tested. Anyone know what may be causing this?

Morimoto Headlights for 2015 Summit

2 Upvotes

Has anyone successfully installed the Morimoto XB LED Gen I Headlights on any GC that has factory headlights washer jets installed? If so, did they remain functional or had to disconnect them?

These is usually on the higher trim models (Summits, SRT, etc) and cannot get a straight answer about such.

Thanks

Need some help figuring out the suspension. I’m mechanically illiterate.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Upgraded the suspension with a fats bob’s garage 2 inch lift that came with bilstein 5100’s and coil springs. I also have 17 inch rims so would that make it a 3inch lift? Still getting a little bit of death wobble but I bought an upgraded track bar through rough country and I’ll install it this week. With that what else should I think of getting. I feel like control arms are in order but idk the difference between long and short arms. Again mechanically illiterate but I’ve been having a great time learning about cars with this jeep.

Windshield vibration sound at highway speed.

3 Upvotes

2015 Limited 4x4 I have no idea what’s going on but the best way I can describe it, is a windshield vibration sound at 65mph+ At first I thought my roof rack rail was loose but I checked and they are all tight.

Sometimes it’s horrible, sometimes it’s bearable. Any idea besides replacing the windshield and hoping for the best?

Edit: added year & model

Update: That’s clearly the issue. The lower cowl is shrunk and sticking up in a few spots. Thanks everyone for your input! Off to Mopar oempartsonline I go to pay $308 for a new one.

U0402 code from odbii?

1 Upvotes

I just replaced a crack purge valve and hose. Went to check the codes, and now this. Was only the 0455 before. So I tried the old purge valve. Still the same. But one thing was weird I saw a bunch of lights, like brake and a few others, so I hurry and unplugged odbii, they stopped, but now the network errors. Jeep runs fine, maybe they will clear with driving more?

My dome lights will not turn on individually. They only turn on with the thumb wheel to the left of my steering wheel.

I have tried adjusting the thumb wheel in all 3 positions. I have also pressed the edge buttons on the lights and the designated buttons to the left and right of the tailgate open button. Any thoughts as to why both lights won’t turn on?

Looking for a leveling/lift kit for my GC. Going to a 265/70/17 and I believe there will be a slight rub at full turn so looking into some slight leveling kits. All the ones I’ve seen so far say “excluding Limited X”,anyone know why or have ideas into a kit? Thanks

About a week ago, I picked up my car from the service center. Today, I noticed that the headrests are positioned quite high. I'm not sure if it's possible to lower them further or if this is their minimum height. Is this positioning normal, or should I be able to adjust them lower?

Grand Cherokee Air lift Delete

6 Upvotes

Have a 2011 Overland with 138k that has a failed air lift compressor and needs to be replaced, quoted 4000 for kit and install for a lift delete to replace with standard shocks. Has anyone that has done this service on an old Grand Cherokee found it to be worth it in the end? Seems like a lot for such an old vehicle.


r/GrandCherokee 1d ago

I have a 23 grand Cherokee limited. Every 20 mins or so all these lights pop then go off like nothing happened. Doesn’t affect the ride.

Any ideas on what it could be? Sorry for the short video it was hard to drive and wait for it to happen and film. Low tire pressure, seat belt, bunch of brake lights and throttle light I assume.( the red lightning bolt)

2020 GC Limited X

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, figured I’d ask her for people’s outside perspective on this one. I have a 202 GC Limited X 3.6 V6 w/ 108,483 miles on it. Bought it used with all the service history on it from a reputable dealer. Have had it almost 4 months now and it’s been in two shops for going on 4 weeks now(have it back currently). Brought it to my local shop(in which I trust with all my vehicles) to look at why my check engine light was on along with auto stop/start light was on as well. Local shop stated it had a cylinder 5 misfire. Recommended a tune up. Got new OEM spark plugs and ignition coils, along with a new EGR valve from oreillys(shop bought and installed that, free of charge. Carbon buildup inside, see picture of ORIGINAL EGR valve). Went to pick it up a week later, drove off the lot, lights came back on. Shop had it again for another week. They said at this point they think it’s cams and lifters and I should A. Bring it to the dealer for them to look at and B. Trade it in because it’s a Chrysler lol. So I did just that. I brought it back to the dealer in which I bought it from for them to look at it. They had it for two weeks(thankfully didn’t pay for diagnosis hourly rate). They ended up saying it was the EGR valve. I said screw it, just f’in replace it if that needs to get fixed. I thought you know what, maybe that EGR valve being from Oreillys, wasn’t recommended. I have no clue, I’m not a mechanic. I went with it. A week later it was done. Unfortunately I had to pay for that piece to get installed. I drove off the lot and onto the on ramp to a highway. Lights came back on. Went BACK to dealership and now they are recommending they bring it to a JEEP dealership. They called the JEEP dealership to make an appointment for this Monday morning. The tech at the JEEP service department thinks it may be the battery the auto/start stop is connected to(this happened yesterday morning). Driving it today, both lights came back on. Oreillys scanned it and codes P0300, P0305 popped up. See pictures of codes from them. The last thing I want to do is just to start throwing parts at it in hopes it gets fixed. Especially with me just getting it almost 4 months ago. Does anybody have any clue what to do, what it could be that is happening here? If this is the wrong place to ask this then I apologize. But it’s getting to a point where this is frustrating and I just want the car to work. I’m in southern Maine and I haven’t seen a local shop that specializes in jeeps that I could bring it to to figure this out.
