    97 Grand Cherokee engine squeal

    Its most likely the idler pulley. I had that happen as well a few years ago. Its the pulley that serves no purpose other than routing the belt. The bearing goes bad occasionally causing a loud squeal and believe me you do not want it to lock up. Its an easy fix and the part is super cheap.

    I play lots of Forza 4. It doesn't have off-road but it is still loads of fun for car buffs.

    Agreed. Would definitely soften up my rear end.

    Pentastar is picked as one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines again

    If I had $33000 to spend on a Jeep I'd rather put it into my GC than buy a v6 Jeep. As my GC with its 5.2 already feels much beefier than the new Rubicon but with that kind of cash I think a hemi conversion and a 7" long arm lift would be better and cheaper than paying that much money. New Jeeps...

    Pentastar is picked as one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines again

    I may be v8 spoiled tho. Only engines I have owned. Wife has a 4.0 in her GC and its much more powerful feeling than the 2012 Rubicon I drove. It may be good when speaking more modern engines I don't know.

    Pentastar is picked as one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines again

    I actually test drove a new wrangler with this recently. To be honest I was let down even when going in with low expectations. It seemed like it was underpowered. No get up and go. Good luck passing with it.

    transmission issues/questions

    Just to clarify its an automatic which is generally more expensive and that is compounded when rebuilds are concerned.

    transmission issues/questions

    I hear you on the rebuilds but seeing that this one only has 36k on it I can't see why not. I'm sure I can haggle it down a little plus they do things on a barter for repeat customers and I have some things laying around that wont sell to knock it down even more. I think I could get it down to...

    transmission issues/questions

    I have a 98 grand Cherokee 5.2l. It has a 44re trans with 260k miles. It has never given me issues until now. When it is shifting from first to second it is very slow in between. When shifting from second to third it seems like it slips out of gear and revs a little before it goes into third...

    I haven't but then again I haven't heard bad things about any brand in particular. The daystars just were recommended to me. Haven't done the lift yet.

    One more note. 2" of lift wont allow for 265s as the wheel Wells are kind of small but I believe the 3" RC lift will leave lots of room. Unless of course you are going to cut fenders.

    Kevin's off-road only manufactures a few parts themselves. I have had this exact discussion with Kevin a couple of times as I have been doing business with home for a little over two years. He is the one who did the lift on my 98 gc personally. About a year ago I bought a 99 gc for my wife and...

    I'm all about anything from kor. Great products there. Also if you are looking to go over 2" of lift I would recommend replacing the springs instead and upgrading the control arms. The stock arms aren't strong enough to be at that angle.
