Hello, Jeep is still running excellent, 258,000km now. I've done all regular liquid and oils replacements, changed a few parts like water pump over the years etc...nothing major. The ride is still going well, maybe the steering wheel is starting to feel like your driving an elder vehicle...

So it ended up being the handbrake calipers (is that what they're called) that were really rusty and finished. So I had them removed and will get new ones soon. Not sure if I should bother with them because I never use them, but probably good to have it working.

Also got this: "It could also be a wheel bearing or cv joint or brake noise. Anything over there that is reciprocating when the vehicle is only moving. Is it definitely left side? That could help you narrow it down. Check your cv joint boots to see if the grease has come out which could dry...

Hi there, no it doesn't go away if I turn left or right, only goes away at a complete stop. Someone told me it could be a ring and pinion gear starting to go bad. Said to remove the plug on the differentiel cover and check the oil level. And to do it before it's too late. Does that make sense...

I have this whirling sound coming from the rear left side when I'm driving. When I come to a complete stop it stops doing it. What could it be?

Hi. Read all your advice and thanks. We checked a few things and changed the thermostat and flushed and replaced the coolant and everything seems fine now. There was a bit of gunk in the coolant and mechanic said if it happens again will need a new head gasket...like 850$ US. .. What ****es me...

I will check all these tonight as well with the mechanic! Thx

New developments: Driving to work this morning I got a check gauges alert and noticed the engine temp was at maximum. I opened the heating and it dropped by a quarter. I was at a red light when all this was happening. Cold air started coming out even though I'd already driven 10 miles. When the...

Hey there. It was a tire seperation so I found a used toyo geo2 plus and changed it. Thanks. For the heating issue, coolant was changed 35000 miles ago. Garage said it's probably thermostat. Wants $130 to replace it. Water pump was changed 3 years ago also.

Coolant level at max. Coolant was changed 35000 miles ago. What should I tell the local chain garage to look for in both cases so they think I know what I'm talking about? Thanks

Hello, the heating in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 Laredo is acting a bit weird lately, it takes longer to start and blows cold air if I’m not pressing on gas. Could this be a thermostat problem? Also, the steering wheel does a half inch turn to the right when I’m driving slowly, as I can...

It ended up being rust in the back side of the front rotors. Just needs a regular brake service 85$.

Hello, When I turn my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 steering wheel left or right it will cause a grind or rubbing/screeching like noise which is especially loud with an echo in underground parking garages. It has gotten worse and worse over the years where now I can pretty much hear it...

Hello, I had a cd in the player for over a year and when I press eject it says WAIT and than ERR. Anyone know how to get the cd to come out?

Hi for differential and transfer case fluid changes, is it better I buy the fluids from the dealer and bring it to the garage? They told me I don't need too...? Transfer Case: Automatic Transmission Fluid Mopar® ATF+4, type 9602 (p/n 05013457AA quart MSRP $8.75) or (p/n...

Hello, For a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7, which of the following maintenance repairs can be done at a trusted big local chain garage instead of the dealer which charges almost double or more? 1. Engine Oil and Filter (Mopar at Dealer vs Castrol at chain) 2. Brake caliper pin...

Hello, 2 weeks ago, on the first really sunny hot day of the year, as I was driving on the highway after 50km, the dreaded Transmission over temp message rang in the electronic dashboard..it felt like something hit me right in the head. I hate it. It causes panic. I had this issue on hot...

How lol

So just like that one sudden morning the compartment on the top console where you put your sunglasses has decided to malfunction. It closes a bit crooked and you need to pull it hard to open it. It also makes this noise as if plastic is grinding together. No idea how this would suddenly decide...

I found it in my Jeep not sure where it goes, anyone know? It's a rubbery panel. Thanks.
