Jeep Grand Cherokee

[bhs91]

I have a 1995 jeep grand Cherokee with 117,000 miles on it. We have had it in our family the full 13 years and it has been reliable, thus far. However, as summer approaches I would like to some proactive maintenance repairs. Is a tune-up sufficient or should I take it a step further and put in a new fuel pump and water pump?

Thanks,

BHS

I wouldnt replace big parts like that unless you were having problems with them. If your looking to spend money, plugs, wires, fuel filter,cooling flush, trans service, differential and transfercase services. Have a trusted mechanic look it over, to see if there is some other problems, such as suspension parts, brakes, tires, ect..

There are a couple of good Jeep forums if you want more information than you can imagine. You can find them with a Google search for JeepForum and JeepsUnlimited. From what I've read, do the transmission filter and fresh fluid (ATF+4) but DO NOT do the total transmission flush by machine that some places push. Also put fresh fluids in the front and rear differentials and put fresh fluid in the transfer case. Check to find out which transfer case you have because you need to know that to determine what to put in it. Most people recommend synthetics of your choice and I know that one of the sponsors of this forum sells good quality stuff. I plan to do this to my 97 Grand Cherokee once summer is here and I can crawl around on the driveway without getting cold, wet, and sloppy.
