No more window tint posts- thanks!

92 Upvotes

My friends- I get it: vehicle mods are cool, and technically a window tint is a mod (albeit probably not wise to tint your windshield). The thing is... Who cares about window tint? Let's all agree to stop posting about window tint. I think we've beat this dead horse enough and it's causing issues here- resulting in some bad behavior from both sides.

From now on posts about window tint are getting removed and further- threatening comments will be dealt with by via a permanent ban (globally- not just on posts about window tint). We are a relatively rule free place because everyone generally gets the sub trail etiquette but I keep getting valid reports about some questionable behavior and will start taking action to preserve the quality of our subreddit.

Love you all- have a great holiday season!

Lift Question

Post image
11 Upvotes

I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 2.5 in lift in the front and a 2 inch lift in the rear. Before I went to the lifted struts I was running spacers on my stock suspension and was wondering if it’d be a bad idea to run the spacers on top of the lifted struts. I also want to know if it would look stupid or squatted and if I would need a front differential drop.

Thanks

Real life question

6 Upvotes

Those of you who bought a jeep gc used of like 80k miles or more and have a lot of issues, did you get pre purchase inspections or have any form of a inspection by a mechanic or person with well known auto part knowledge?

I’m asking as a person who wants one for their first car but hears bad stuff all the time and is curious! Thank you for the response ahead of time

Edited: I’m not saying I won’t get one lol, I’m asking the people with jeep gc problems if they got one. Because why do they have so much problems if they got it checked? But idk I’m not a driver yet so I have no experience on random repairs sneaking up

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited AC issues

3 Upvotes

I read that the 2021-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a customer satisfaction notice (which is one step below a recall) about AC issues.
Has anyone dealt with this and is there a process that O should be engaged in to get Jeep to repair the AC?
It suddenly started blowing hot air.

Suspension Work

4 Upvotes

Just got an estimate to replace the broken front suspension on my 2015. It's $1500.

I was already considering a small lift to go up a size in tires and get more clearance on the ranch.

Does anyone have a lift kit, or parts manufacturer they like?

I'm not rock crawling but do go down forest service roads and drive across fields most days

Dashboard Tire Pressure Reading Accuracy

5 Upvotes

Just curious if anyone knows how accurate the readings on the dashboard tire pressure readings are? I was in the process of comparing this and unfortunately my pencil gauge broke. I found a replacement and I inflated to 41 psi (2021 JGC High Altitude - stock rims and 265/50R20 tires) on my Milwaukee 18V Inflator and the gauge measured right on at ~41 psi. The dashboard had 44-46 psi.

Which is more accurate so I know how to properly fill up the tires?

What does this usually mean? Service 4WD?

Hi everyone love this community and the advice I get

Anyways, this popped up a month ago on my 2020 limited and a day after ignoring it and driving it went away…a week ago it came back to haunt me. I hate when I’m driving and I hear that *Jeep Beep* lol
it says service 4WD on the other side of the screen but also these 3 lights come up (2 yellow,1orange) sport mode is deactivated. what does that usually mean? Is it a sensor tweaking? I just replaced the starter last month. How do you service 4wd lol this is my first jeep

Any advice helps! Thanks 🙏🏼

Same repair again

8 Upvotes

2018 Altitude. Bought it from a Toyota dealer in June last year with 85000 miles. Buddy warned me about the 3.6l pentastars and 4 months later I take it back to the dealer for leaking oil filter housing, valve cover gasket, water pump, timing chain cover and oil pan. Fixed

2 months go by and noticed a tick, yes the Pentastar tick. They send it to the jeep dealer next door, replace the rocker arm, camshaft and cylinder head on the passenger side as well as the thermostats.

Everything goes well for several months until this last month. I noticed the water pump is leaking again. Take it back to them and they also found the timing cover and oil pan is also leaking again too as well as supposedly one of the front axles. Vehicle is currently at just under 93000 miles.

Kinda crazy I haven’t put 10000 miles on the car and I’m having all these issues. Has anybody else had issues like this?

I just noticed the jeep is starting to have a little trembling while idling situation going on. 74,000 miles on the dash. What should be the first plan of attack?

4xe?

4 Upvotes

My lease is coming to an end on my 2022 GC Overland and want to stick with the grand GC, I wanna buy this time as I use the vehicle for way more miles than leases affordably allow. Looking at 2023 or 2024 summit or overland. Was contemplating the 4xe for a bit but I read a lot of negative reviews that were off putting. Does anyone have any experience with them?
The only reason I did consider was the miles I drive for work, if it would save me of gas.

TIA!

“Service Transmission” warning

2 Upvotes

Looking for some advice from anyone who’s experienced this.

I have a 2021 Jeep Cherokee. I took it to my mechanic because I was getting an intermittent “Service Transmission” warning. They ran diagnostics, didn’t find any mechanical issues, and performed the recommended software update.

A few hours after I picked it up, the “Service Transmission” alert came back on while I was driving, but then it disappeared on its own. The Jeep is driving completely normal—no slipping, rough shifting, or other noticeable problems.

Has anyone else had this happen? If so, what ended up being the cause? Was it a sensor, TCM, wiring issue, another software update, or something else? I’d really appreciate any advice before I take it back in. Thanks!

2024 GCL Summit full loaded with single button 3rd row seats.

As can be seen in the picture, the right 3rd row seat goes back too far when unfolded and refuses to fold flat. I assume the actuator somehow lost calibration?

Is it possible to upgrade the oem backup camera on a 2020 jeep GC

7 Upvotes

The oem camera is awful as I’m sure anyone that owns these knows (it’s esp bad at night or going from sunlight into a shaded area like a car garage bc the contrast is so bad that the shadows obscure any detail like a pole or curb etc ) .

Is it possible to install a much clearer aftermarket camera on the 2020 8.4 uconnect screen without doing any modification? Has anyone installed one that is a direct plug into the existing harness with a higher resolution and clearer contrast? And if so can you post a link to it? Thanks.

Jeep WJ 4.7 v8, what to look for

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I am going to see a second hand jeep wj 4.7 v8, quadra drive, from 2000, with close to 100k miles.

This is a car that has been stopped for a least 4 years.

I have googled around enough to be more than a little scared...

Any words of advice or good links to view before trying to find how broken it is?

Thank you very much!

Wk2 question

10 Upvotes

I'm looking at buying a 2021 wk2 Grand Cherokee limited with the 3.6L I test drove it, and this thing felt great to drive. Shifted good, plenty of get up and go, my worry is.... It's a grand cherokee and I know these things are hit or miss. It seems like there either great, or the worst thing on the road and no in-between. It's got 64,000 miles not a single spot of rust, but has almost no maintenance info from car fax. I got the dealer down to $21,500.... I'm just afraid to pull the trigger.
