Jeep Grand Cherokee


bhs91

Question

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.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
