At 35 mph, (give or take), and 65 mph, (give or take). The two most common speeds I travel.
Somewhat expensive, however, it's a good feeling knowing my Jeep's happy again.
I'm 600 miles from my home computer so I haven't access to other posts I had saved, somewhere I found INVALUABLE information on the Renix system, (1989?). Keep searching posts and links. Best I can do for ya at this time. Regards.
Yes you should!
Find yourself a trans-axle that will bolt up to it, drop it into the bed of a "Toyota truck" and enjoy your "Toyota truck", (Organ-Pipes and all).
It's like saying, "I should've married Mary or Shelly instead of Jody", (perhaps I should've), no matter. Just not ready for a Jeep, huh?
Sorry.
My Aunt bought a new Pontiac Gran Am years ago and of 422 days, It spent 96 of them in the shop. She traded it in w/24k on the clock. What I'm trying to say is, @#$% happens.
Only "relationship" I have is with my Jeep now 'cause of my smart-assed attitude.
1987 Celica GT, 380, almost 400k.
'73 Datsun p/u finally choked w/418k.
Jeep's starting to give trouble w/over 200k, (I DO tend to stress her just a LITTLE-bit though)....400k?, not likely, I must admit.
Well....................
How 'bout a big-block Olds and trans. from an old Toronado behind the cab?
Chrysler IS pretty-much in better hands, I guess.
Regards.
They shouldn't celebrate to much though, with the new HEMI in the pipeline for the '08 Ram, it will one up the Toyota in power and efficiency.
Judging from the problems I've had with my previous Toyota products, it's not all cake and ice cream there either.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
Things I did.
ATF +4 (Although it was synthetic)
Checked level, thought it was high so I removed some and it still has the same condition
I'm kind of lost as to what to do next, I hate to go to a repair shop with my tail between my legs... Any ideas??
Thanks
:lemon:
kind regards to all

I just purchased a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee & due to time restraints didn't do my homework before the purchase.
After reading all I can now I have a few questions.It seems in previous years the tranny has been a huge problem,also the brakes.Am wondering if these issues have been cleared up??It has the "Quadra Trac 1"system on it which is very confusing to me(& a bit troubling that it doesn't have "4 Low").I live in Wyoming so a good 4-wheel drive system is very important to say the least.
Any answers & info. you can give me would be much appreciated....
thanx

I have replaced the thermostat, checked the fluid levels. Could it be a bad TCM or is there something I am missing and should check; I've read about "temp sensing unit" and a "solenoid" on the trans. Could they be the culprit? Don't know where they are. Also, will the "On-Board Diagnostics systems" give me an indication of where I should be looking for a solution?? Any help is appreciated. I'm pulling my hair out looking for problem. And dealer wants to rebuild tranny for $3K.
I have takeing it to AMCO and no help, and takeing to the Jeep dealer and left it for two days, and they can't find no problem.
I am just about ready to get a Toyta and end this problem.
I may have noticed it shifting funny yesterday when I first started out also but then it straightened out. So it seems that I'm having problems when the tranny is cold, but when it warms up it is OK. I did service it about 15000 miles ago. I haven't been able to find a more detailed explanation of the code, but it didn't come back on the way home from autozone. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
now as for the trans you probly should change the trans oil
that trans is a tough trans the prob could be the shift solonides inside the trans could be sticking when cold all shifts are controled by these solonides
So thanx for responding tuggajb and I didn't mean anything personal. So by trans oil I assume you mean the transmission fluid?
I have already tried adjusting the cable.
any ideas?
sounds as if the top mount on the diff in the rear is worn get under the jeep at the rear and see if anything looks loose
hope the didnt ruain the trans
I checked the fluid with the car at operating temperature (shifted gears beforehand) and the fluid is still at the correct level on the dipstick.
Is this just a matter of perhaps the pan bolts not torqued correctly or could this be a common occurrence after only 1 year for the transmission fluid to start leaking on a Grand Cherokee? Planning on dropping off the vehicle at the dealer, but curious to know what has caused this.
