new addition
i just bought a 1993 jeep grand cherokee limited with 172k for my wife to drive. she likes it a lot, but i want to make sure she's not going to get stranded. Bring back the Brat or modernize the Wrangler So would I. However, My '99 TJ Sport breaks things all the time, on dirt roads. continue to... first, i'm am going to be getting a new fuel pump soon because the pressure bleeds off after about 30 minutes, and takes a bit of key cycling and cranking to get it to start again. : i cleaned the throttle body and idle air control as best i could with some carb cleaner, because i thought it might take care of some stumbling at idle, but not while cruising. it seemed to work for a while, but after about an hour of driving, it stumbles about 30 seconds after you return to idle. crank position sensor? throttle position sensor? plugs, wires, cap, rotor look new, 7.6kV on all wires at idle when it's not missing. Front diff, locker or limited slip asdf You have to have slip between the two front wheels if you want to turn a corner because the outside wheel travels a 'lot' farther then the inside... Want new vehicle is true real 4 wheel drive 4WD You need differential lockers to do what you want easily with their handling downsides or you need to learn how to drive a 4x4 to do the same manually... finally, she doesn't like to downshift at cruising speed. say i'm going 55 and i want to pbutt someone, step on the gas, expecting a downshift and subsequent burst in speed, however, stumble stumble stumble, i might as well not have stepped on the gas, total loss of power, and no downshift??? did i screw myself with this purchase? this is my first experience with a fulltime 4wd. is some scuffing and binding to be expected during parking maneuvers or do i have a problem?
