1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l - Needs Repair - Red on 2040-cars
Livonia, Michigan, United States
|
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 Red with 153,156 miles This vehicle needs repair before it can be driven. It must be towed from in front of my house.
Please see the picture of the Mechanic’s Invoice. The Idler Pulley came loose, and the bolt for the Idler bent and damaged the Coolant Tube connecting to the Water Pump. The Bracket the bolt attaches to was also damaged, and must be replaced. This is a labor intensive repair, which will require replacement of all of the aforementioned parts, most likely including the Water Pump (The water pump was replaced only 11 months ago (8k miles ago)). No accidents. See AutoCheck Report. Clear Title in hand. Please read below for information on repairs made over the last year, and things on the Jeep that do not work. Repairs made over the last year: Fuel Pump – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago Ignition Coil – 4 months ago, 4 thousand miles ago Crank Sensor – 5 months ago, 4+ thousand miles ago New Radiator – July 2013 (can’t find the receipt with date and mileage) Track Bar & Steering Stabilizer replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago Water pump & thermostat replacement – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago A/C recharge – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago Engine cleaning and power steering fluid change – 11 months ago, 8 thousand miles ago The battery is 16 months old, and it is an 8 year warranty battery (not transferable)
The following things do not work, or are faults with the vehicle: The fuel guage does not work. The electric windows on the passenger side do not work most of the time. There is a bad ABS speed sensor on the left rear wheel (ABS light on). The gauge light and chime come on from time to time, while at the same time the oil pressure gauge drops. It is apparently a gauge or instrument cluster problem (google on this to see it’s a common Jeep issue). The vehicle used to have another common Jeep problem, engine stalling. The problem went away when I removed the PCM cover screws (google Jeep PCM screws). But, I suspect the problem will eventually come back, and more digging on google revealed that the issue is intermittent solder joints inside the PCM cover (so removing screws changed the torque on the cover relieving the issue, for now). The passenger side carpet used to get wet when running the A/C over time on the highway. It was apparently a plugged drain from the condenser (another common Jeep problem you can google about), so it is believe to be solved. It has a fault code for an oxygen sensor. The Airbag light is on sometimes. The radio does not play loud. It will for a minute until it warms up, but it is apparently folding back on the gain due to heat. The aftermarket remote keyless entry operates all locks except the driver door. The driver door has to be opened with the key. (I know, that’s so backwards). The driver door opens and closes OK, but it is rickety. Rust in spots shown in pictures, but not really any to speak of under doors. Tires are all OK on tread, but not matched. Please feel free to ask any questions. $100 deposit through PayPal required upon winning the auction. Cash only accepted when picking up the vehicle. Please pick up promptly, and be prepared to tow. SOLD AS IS. NO WARRANTY. Thank you!

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Jeepster name may be used for Fiat-based baby Jeep
Tue, 17 Dec 2013In 1948, Willys-Overland, the forbearers of Jeep, built a vehicle called the Jeepster. It was a funky little thing, designed as a mix of the more rugged Jeeps that came before with what was then a modern car, which arguably makes it the world's first crossover. The name was later revived from 1966 to 1972, which means for Jeep enthusiasts, it has some history.
Now, the modern Jeep brand may revive the Jeepster name for a new product, likely based on Fiat bones, that will slot in at the bottom of the brand's range underneath the soon-to-depart Compass and Patriot. The report comes from Australia's Drive, which cites a dealer source that has seen the vehicle.
That same dealer confirmed there is a link between the Jeepster and the rumored Fiat 500X, and that the former will be available in both front and all-wheel-drive variants. The source also claims both gas and diesel engines will be available, although as this is an Aussie site, we shouldn't take that to mean we'll get a diesel Jeepster in the US.
2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014
Wed, 09 Jul 2014I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.
