r/GrandCherokee

Spec wise they are pretty close when ya compare it out.

I purchased this 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo from this asshole that didn’t tell me about all the electrical issues of the jeep. I’ve been chasing the several issues down and I think I’ve got it.

My last problem is the large ground wire in the spare tire compartment is cut and the other side that runs to the driver side of the engine next to the ABS module.

Do you other Older Grand Cherokee owners also have this large ground wire in the spare tire compartment? If so, where does the other side connect?

Thanks!

Cleaned up the wife’s new Jeep, figured I’d share a dope picture of the shop.

i think it has around 165k miles, no issues. need something good for camping that i can also daily. 3500, 5.7 hemi. also looking at a 92 zj cherokee 4.0 175k miles for like 2k if the newer one is a bad idea. Only things that pushes me more towards a older zj or a xj is the 4.0 reliability, i heard the hemis get lifter tick around this mileage.

Traded my 2014 F150 FX4 for this 25 GCL Limited. So much more comfortable and love the black accents/wheels.

Hello all,

Hoping someone here can lend some insight or is even a Jeep tech. Over the last couple months I have sporadically gotten the service air suspension immediately message on the dashboard while driving. I would get worried. I’d have to go turn the car off get back in and the air suspension seemed to work fine. Now mind you I am the original owner and have raised to vehicle to OR2 maybe 50 times? That could even be an exaggeration. I love in the northeast so it would be only for snow and a handful of times I brought it on the beach. It has never been rock crawling or “true” off roading. This winter was harsh. Lots of snow and brutally cold which I suspect is what pushed this along. Anyway enough of my banter.

I consider myself a fairly capable DIYer and have worked on cars my whole life so I bought a wireless OBDII dongle and the 12x8 security cable. I downloaded Jscan and began my diagnostics. The compressor appears to be fine. The car will decide when it wants the suspension to work and will raise/lower upon command. Other times it won’t and gives me the dashboard message. This also tells me (maybe) that the valve block is fine. I checked all the wheel sensors. They’re attached and facing the right directions, and honestly look incredibly clean for a jeep with 81k on it. I still have an original battery. It reads approx. 13.3V when idling. I suspect this could be the culprit, but I am going to attach a bunch of diagnostic screen shots and hope that maybe the best jeep tech in this forum sees them and can tell me what’s wrong.

I tried several deep dives with AI and haven’t had much luck. I did also attempt to calibrate, but I’m not sure if I was measuring from the wrong places or what so I had to set the ECU back to suspension from the factory settings

Thanks in advance for any help. If there is any other info that you need from me that would help please let me know.

What tires have people liked the most on these? I haven't had to buy highway/touring type tires in a long time - previous cars in recent years have been all terrain tire type cars and I dont feel like they would look right on the GC + tank gas mileage. Or maybe a less aggressive all terrian? Picked this very low mileage '23 (off lease) overland up recently and it will be due for new tires by the time winter rolls around again. I live in the NE, so must be good in snow. I liked the continentals when I had European cars years ago . . . It currently has whatever junk tires they put on them new.

Hello I have a 2012 jeep grand Cherokee 5.7 hemi overland I just changed the radiator , coolant temperature sensor , two sparks and an ignition coil along with the thermostat and radiator cap after all that I disconnected the battery both negative and positive after I connected it again all the lights lit up lights Christmas tree and it’s stuck on 4wd low it’s also asking for a security on the screen that I don’t know of and apparently the dealerships don’t have it would anybody have the code ?
