Haha, actually my two 4.0's never broke, once. The 93 has 200k+ on it and is still kicking ass and taking names. The '02 WJ was stolen and totalled. :(Quote:

Had a GC with the 4.0 for a few years, sold that about 8 yrs ago, only problems I ever had were brakes chewing up rotors faster than they should, and electrical gremlins with the power windows.
Now I have an 03 Liberty, it's simple, plain, can tow my car crosscountry no problem, and takes 87 octane. What's not to like?
I'd like to see a Montero take mods like a Jeep can. 98 XJ owner here. Great rides!

Don't know why all the hate for Jeep/Chrysler but whatevs.
I and my family have had Cherokees, Grand Cherokees (every generation), Liberties, Wranglers, and tons of other Chrysler products, no major problems with any of them. Great vehicles. My Overland is about to turn 100k, it runs great, I love the 4.7 HO.
Its a grand cherokee.
Just wanting to know what to watch out for. It sounds like it has a case of lifter tick. Changed oil and it helped a little. Rotors got chewed up easily like someone else said. Other than that it is flawless. But with over 100k on the clock and a baby on the way I want to be prepared.
Only other thing that i hear of is bad gas mileage and occasional transmission issues, but that varies. XJ's last forever ;)Quote:

If you have a 42RE tranny in it (i.e. 4.0 w/ 242tc) just make sure to take care of it ...
My girl has an '02(?) wrangler. It's moderately fun to cruise around w/ no doors or roof in the summer, however I hate to work on the thing. It always seem to need a completely random-sized wrench or tool that I do not own for the simplest of jobs. Nothing has ever gone as easy as it should on the damn thing. Even swapping the TPS last week turned into an epic battle between good and evil. That aside, I don't own the thing, so I don't wave...ever...sorry.
