    88 Cherokee Laredo/wont start

    Well, I found out the starters are interchangeable . . . great. I also went down to work on my jeep today and got it started. After cleaning off some of the connectors again I proceeded to knock on the starter a few times with a small hammer. Then I got in my jeep and cranked it over and drove...

    88 Cherokee Laredo/wont start

    Hello, I have a 1988 4.0 automatic Cherokee Laredo Jeep. It has always started up and been quite dependable. On Christmas evening I had to drive my son and grandchild to the bottom of my driveway. There was so much snow my son could not drive up the road to the house. So he parked down at the...

    1988 Cherokee/steering power ?

    Hello, I am starting to hear a grinding noise in my power steering though the actual steering inside the car feels smoothe. When my car warms up the noise is not so bad. Does this mean my power steering is about to go out. Thanks, Jewel

    1988 Cherokee/steering power ?

    I have not been able to figure out where the steering power fluid on my 1988 Jeep is coming from. My Jeep does not have a grinding sound as if it were going out. I have a nagging leak . . . could someone explain where exactly (if any) a leak would come from . . . if I were to look under my...

    1988 Cherokee/steering power ?

    I just checked my air filter and it looks good no sign of a oily substance (anywhere). At one time I had oil in the filter, however, I took care of that by replacing the valve cover amongst other things. My Jeep has a 143,000 miles on a rebuilt. I would like to think I care for it well enough...

    Thank you for your response regarding my Jeep. I even went and replaced my sensor and idle speed control motor and my jeep did not respond. Just the other day I crawled under my Jeep and notice how much oil and dirt was up around my transmission and I notice some linkage I missed cleaning. I...
