Ok, my 4WD selector only says 2HI 4HI N and 4LOW. no part time words, and no full time words. So what does that say about my transfer case?

It is a 97, and I dont know the TC. How do you tell which one you have? Well, I have had some vehicles in the past that would spin both back wheels in gravel or pavement, but would still unlock when you went around corners without chirping the tires. I was just thinking that those were the way...

I was just really wanting to know if there is something that i need to do to it to make it perform like it is supposed to. One wheel spinning in front and back is not very good is it. If you get twisted up somewhere, you're gonna be stuck there.

I have a 97 Cherokee 4wd that was a park ranger Jeep in Kentucky. I'm not sure about what it does or doesn't have, but here is what I know about it. I have previously goosed it in reverse and then put it in forward and brake torqued it and it spun both wheels. So, does that tell that it does...

The only trans code I saw was P0700. What does that mean by its self? And also, if I decide to put the 98 trans into the 97, the way I took the prior posts, is that you use the sensors from the 98 and they will fit the 97 plugs and all have a home?

I have finally found a jeep donor vehicle for the motor mainly for my jeep. The jeep that is the donor is s 98 and mine is a 97. Does anyone know what will be required for the engine swap, if it will just drop in sensors and all will plug up? Or is any will need to be swapped. And also, The...

Well, I'm having trouble finding a good one or a junk cherokee. Everybody wants my arm and your leg for an engine around here. I'm having trouble making it ok in my mind to give 600. for engines that have 170K on them.

I found a 97 Grand Cherokee for $500 with motor trans and tcase. What would have to be done to make that work? Just the engine at the moment, but if i needed it would the transmission and tcase work in the Cherokee i have?

Ok. One thing i noticed while looking for an engine, is that the bodys for the grand cherokees changed somewhere like 99-03. Will these engines work, or did they change?

I have a 97 cherokee 4.0 4x4 that has some major issues. I am going to replace the engine. I have been looking for a interchange thread but can't find one. So does anyone know what year model engines will fit into this? I have found a 95 grand cherokee 4.0. Will that work? and will it have...

Well, I relly only checked 2 cylinders. I checked2 that were not joining cylinders incase the HG was blown or something. I figured that the way it sounded when cranking that if 2 had no compression none had any. I will go in a little bit and throw some more oil in the cylinders and post results.

So, does that mean junk, or would lots of thick oil seal it back up to run? I don't know all the history. But all of the gas in the oil could be from the previous owner working on it for several months and cranking and cranking on it day after day. I don't know which came first the thing not...

I rounded up a compression gauge. I tested #2 and #5 and it wouldn't pick up on the gauge. It has very little. You can put your finger over the SP hole and hold what is there if you push fairly hard. Can flooding cause compression loss that bad, or is the engine just toast?

Borrowed a computer scanner from a friend and the tps is showing a code for low input voltage. But would this make the vehicle not start at all? It is getting gas and spark. The at rest measurement for the TPS is 16% and at WOT it is around 88%ish. It seemed to go up smoothly. Anyone have...

Well, I pulled the injectors out and none are leaking. They are pulsing like the should i guess. It seems to me that it might be a little heavy. I don't really know what is normal and what is too much. But the tps seems to be working anyway. I had someone turn it over and i held the...
