Back with an update. Had the work done last weekend. Replaced all bearings in rear differential. No gears needed replacement and the old fluid appeared relatively clean. Still a $500 job but less then what was quoted. Truck runs very quietly now, no more back end screaming. Intermittent...

Hi all. Been awhile. Getting a increasing loud constant pitch grind from the rear of my 2001 JGC while moving. 103,000 miles. My mechanic, whom I trust totally, road tested with me and told me right off sounds like pinion gear for sure and whatever dessert comes with it after it's opened...

Hi. Dashboard panel trim. the long horizontal plastic trim piece which surrounds the speedometer and contains the adjustable air vents. Shipped to 46311? Thanks.

Just wanted to update everyone on the situation as I have seen my non start/turnover problem mentioned on other posts. I pulled the starter and took it in to have it bench tested where it checked out fine. After cleaning and wire brushing all the contacts and connections from the battery to...

My 96 Grand 4.0 refused to crank this wet and cold morning. My problem started yesterday but I managed to get it to crank and start fine on the 3rd or 4th attempt. On the times when it did crank after the 3rd or 4th attempt it turned over strongly, started immediately and ran fine all day long...

Great. I wasen't sure if I would fry the whole system by messing with those black pieces. They look like small relays of some sort. i'll give it another shot (if I can stand being upside down for that long again. Let you know. Thanks.

Okay I'm a big guy. Seat frame is cracked within the bottom cushion of my 01 Grand on the driver side. Wondering if that can be repaired. Don't want to go the the stealer for a new seat and seats on 01's from a boneyard are usually pretty trashed. Any help or direction out there...

Re: How to remove heater blower motor 96- 98 Grand? Hi. I had this same exact problem on my 96 Grand. Finally tried this method this weekend to drop the blower motor Got the 3 bolts out and the blower dropped down partially. However there is a component in the way from the area above the...

96 Grand 6 cylinder. Heater fan blower motor runs intermittently. Sometimes comes on right away and sometimes not until after 10-15 minutes of driving. Read advice about the resistor or bad connections but I think its the motor itself cause it is VERY buzzing noisy when it 1st starts running...

Hi. Running a 96 Grand 4.0 with 220,000 and counting. Had my radiator rupture at upper passenger side 5 months ago. Replaced it along with water pump and thermostat at same time. The other day the new radiator ruptures again in the same area. Covered under warranty. Coolant and oil appear...

Pretty much describes it right on the nose, thanks very much. Your post doesen't happen to be from a recall notice does it?

Lookin for some help. 2001 Grand with 6 cylinder. 90,000 miles well maintained. When I get up to about 60 mph then let off the gas I hear a distinct low howl or whine maybe from the front end. Step ON the gas pedal and it gets less noticable, step OFF of the gas and it's annoying and loud...

Hey all. Just joined today. Been Jeeping since 88. Went through a 87 Wagoneer and a 98 Grand. Currently have a 2001 Grand and also 96 Grand with 217,000 and counting. Livin in Northwest Indiana. Shade tree mechanic who can do the basic bolt on type of stuff. Looks like a great site but...

Did the fan motor ever work since you owned it? Previous post to check fuse and resistor is a good suggestion. But the motor itself could be bad too as was on mine. In my case the motor would buzz a while before going on or off. Eventually needed to be replaced.
