    how much would it cost to replace the front wheel bearing on a 1996 jeep grand cherok

    Replacement hub bearings on these rigs frequently go out, particularly with lift and larger tires. The OE Mopar version is about 25% more cost, but I've found will last around 3x or more in miles and abuse. Talk to your dealer...seems like they are around $140 at AutoZone and around $175 at...

    06 WK ? Tires, stock clearance

    At around 31" of overall height, the tires will goof with the computer readings, and the ESP will "fire" off, which means you'll have strange braking happening when you're turning corners. There is a module from AEV/Superlift that cures this problem. This link will help you to understand...

    Intermittant no start

    The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) is NOTORIOUS for causing intermittent starting problems, and I'm about 90% sure it's the cause of your problem, based on what you describe. Less than $100 later (get the Mopar one, rather than the AutoZone/aftermarket ones) and a little labor, you should...

    is it possible to mount 33x12.50 tires on stock grand cherokee rims

    As Bounty Hunter said, they should fit fine, however, they may rub on the inner rear fender area. Worst case scenario you can order up some rear 1" wheel spacers to push them outboard a bit. Some people don't like wheel adapters or spacers, but we've had pretty good luck with the ones that...

    PLZ.Help

    Well worded...exactly what I was thinking it sounded like. Terry, if the thing feels like it's "binding-up" when you're turning tightly in a parking lot, but you don't notice it when you're on soft dirt or gravel, then Bounty Hunter has a 99% chance of being correct. And, like he said, these...

    Any problems with a lifted liberty?

    We're actually working on a SFA conversion kit (including brackets and a parts list of where to get all the other parts) here at KOR (Phoenix, AZ) with a customers 2006 KJ. He's going with a HP D44 front axle, a D44 (iron) rear axle, and we're going to use as many off-the-shelf parts as...

    Transmission or transfer case.

    The common belief is that the auto transmission cools itself while the internals are turning from the engine side...so if the engine is not powering the transmission, there is no cooling going on. I've never verified that does indeed take place when an automatic is flat-towed with the rear...

    1987 Grand Wagoneer

    So, counting the gears that are switched, does that mean that it's stuck in 2nd gear, or is it in 3rd gear? If you are assuming that it should be clicking into 4th (overdrive), then that may be where you're going wrong. That transmission should be a ChryCo 727 (if memory serves) and you only...

    will 2007-2009 Dodge Ram 20"s fit on a 09 Commander?

    The XK Commander (and WK Grand Cherokee) as well as the JK Wrangler all have a 5 x 5.0" wheel lug bolt pattern. The Ram has a 5 x 5.5" hole pattern (also known as 5 x 139.7mm), so it will NOT fit. Kevin

    1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee dies in reverse

    Sweet! Glad to hear that you found what appears to be an honest transmission shop. Not too many of those exist (that I've found, anyway) here in Phoenix, LOL. Make sure to post up what the resolve was so that we (and for archive purposes) know what you found out. Thanks, Kevin

    Interchanging rear ends

    If both were 6-cyl engines, then both SHOULD have the D35 rear end, not the larger D44(a) rear end that came in the V8 models after 1995. Both years (1994 and 1996) SHOULD have the same 3.55:1 gear ratio. However, there might be other small variances between years... 1994 was the "change-over"...

    Interchanging rear ends

    There is a difference between the D44 you probably purchased (iron center-section) and the one that she's inquiring about, which has an aluminum center-section. This D44(a) was ONLY available in V8 Grand Cherokee ZJs from 1996-1998. There is another, similiar D44(a) that came in the 1999-2004...

    Rear Lamp Message

    Also, bear in mind that there are THREE lamps in the third brake light ass'y. If the middle one burns out, then it appears to be functioning just fine, but that will trip the VIC when you hit the brakes. Also, if you don't have the specific (2057 from memory, please double check) bulbs in the...

    97 ZJ (Lift Question

    Depends on the budget you have set aside. With any suspension height change, you'll want to replace the shocks with longer ones than the stockers, so factor another $150-$300 into your budget, depending on which shocks you want. The poly spacers go between the spring and the body, and are the...

    1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee dies in reverse

    Trxus: Is it "binding" up, as in the innards of the transmission not turning when shifted into reverse? Will it run if you leave your foot on the accellerator while you shift into reverse? I wonder if there is something wrong with the valve body in the new transmission. Did you speak to the...
