use the mcguires spray wax but looking for advice. shit looks like glass

1999 GC Laredo 4.0.

Inherited from my grandpa, original owner. 100k miles.

New NTK O2 sensors, NTK crankshaft position sensor, IAC valve, air/fuel filter and new fuel pump from Hella.

Giving up.

It will run after sitting overnight. It will feel good and civil for 5 minutes then bog down and buck, hiccups and all, then die.

It will die and die until it sits again.

Any ideas? Bout ready to light it on fire.

Looking to get my set of Overland 5 spokes powder coated in prismatic triple bronze (2nd pic is only google image I could find). I plan on getting Falken A/T tires mounted and having these as my winter set. I want something unique, since I have a set of summer tires in silver.

Anyone else have bronze wheels? Advice, suggestions, disapproval, pics?

After a lot of thinking, back and forth, and should we or shouldn’t we, my wife and I decided to pull the trigger on this stunning “Mostly New” GC L! Slate Blue, and it looks so much better in person than in photos. More green undertones and closer to teal than straight up light blue.

This is by far the nicest and newest vehicle we have ever purchased. Originally we were in the market for a Durango, but our sales person offered us a test drive in this and we instantly fell in love. I am still skeptical of the Hurricane I-4 Turbo, so we opted for the 100k B2B warranty just in case. We drove it 1.5 hours to get home over mountains (Western PA) and on the highway for the last stretch and have a solid 24.5 mpg on that trip. The new hurricane didn’t flinch at all and felt incredibly competent moving this SUV.

We upgraded from a ‘19 Sorento and the size increase is perfect for our family of 4. If you are debating between a Durango, GC L, and Wagoneer and lean towards the midsize rather than full size I’d recommend considering this.

- Fit and finish is immaculate for the Limited Reserve.
- Hurricane I-4 seems strong and capable (does run hot and vents a lot of that heat into the engine bay).
- 2nd row captains chairs are wonderful for car seats.
- Family Friendly features like “FamCam” and 360 cams are a big welcome addition over the Sorento.
- Sound system is great. Low end is very extended and solid at the stock setting. Pushing the low end up to +9 is ridiculous, but the woofer handles it. Highs can be a little thin at higher volumes, I’d recommend setting them at -1

Time will tell on the I-4 reliability, but so far so good, and we are extremely happy with our purchase! Happy to finally be a family of all Mopar.

I’ve seen some posts about upgrading to 275/55/20 from the factory 265/50. Is it worth it? I need new tires anyway after 30k miles on these trash Bridgestones. I’ve been wanting to fill the gap in the rear wheel well anyway so I was thinking a bigger tire would be good. But after seeing some pictures of 275/55s they look a little too big sometimes while some pictures they look great.

I guess I’m here to take recommendations on which tires I should throw on here and what size would help the fitment. Not sure if I want to go all terrains like the falken wild peaks or a more road oriented tire like Michelins. Any pics would be helpful

good morning Friends. After 2.5 months i should be getting my jeep back from the shop ( not getting into why it took this long but what ever) I had a new transmission put into it cause of some issues.

at the moment i think my jeep has around 100k miles so i mean it might of been time for one idk. The point of this is to get some help in knowing what i should be doing maintenance wise to help keep my car lasting as long as it can.

I know about the oil change and filters. But what else do i need to do to it to keep it going as long as possible and what upgrades should i do to help with that

Oh i guess i should put what jeep i have. Its a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo (idk if the laredo help or not) Thanks guys

After I parked my jeep yesterday I went to leave again and a check engine light came on and when I go to put it any gear besides park it tells me to shift to park then select desired gear. When I put it in gear they just flash.

Just got the car upgraded from a 2015, every so often service 4wd light will come up then disappear when the car is restarted. I’m assuming nothing’s totally wrong maybe a sensor or something, but idk. Has anyone had this issue and should I be more concerned and on top of it.

Lifted 2" on 33s. 240k miles and still running strong. Get 20 mpg when I drive it right. Bought as a stock GC and just had fun with it

Also, for this specific year is there anything I should look our for when checking out the vehicle? Any major issues that this generation may have commonly experienced?

Hi all, this is a question for engine builders here, My GC had rod bearing failure twice this year and each time it was the same pistons, the middle ones. First rebuild was done in the service and after 2000 km it repeated, now the service is having issues to figure out what might be the reason and I cannot take it to another service as it is under warranty.

It happened only in the middle pistons, the main bearings and the other pistons are fine, would like to hear your opinios.

Many thanks

2.5” rough country leveling kit and 1.5” wheel spacers. 275/55r20. Stock wheels

To delete the air suspension one has to replace the front struts and the rear shocks + springs, correct? Is there more involved, like sway bars or anything? Do the standard suspension parts bolt right on?

Hey everyone!
I’m having a strange cold start issue with my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.
Here’s what’s happening:
Remote Start: The engine cranks and starts normally without any hesitation.
Push Button Start: If I get in and press the start button right away, the engine cranks and cranks but won’t start.
Waiting for Fuel Pump: If I turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine, wait a few seconds for the fuel pump to prime, and then press the start button, it fires right up.
This mostly happens during cold starts, especially after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours.
I’m starting to suspect a fuel pressure issue, possibly a failing fuel pump, fuel pressure check valve, or maybe a fuel filter issue. Almost seems like the fuel system is losing pressure while the vehicle sits.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could the remote start be allowing the fuel pump to prime before cranking, while the push button start isn’t giving it enough time?
I’d appreciate any suggestions before I start replacing parts.
Thanks in advance!

Just got the new iphone 18pro and it connects to my car but the actual carplay screen will not show, it just goes black then clears out. I can play music and take calls but no screen. Appreciate your help.

I am hard on my brakes. I tend to warp them pretty quickly. Does anyone have any suggestion other than changing my driving habits :) - Suggestions on rotors that might be more resilient? Thanks in advance.

New to owning a Grand Cherokee and have been looking at either a 2024 limited or 2026 limited. Any opinions on why I should go with one over the other in terms of reliability, engine, etc.? The mileage and price is similar on both cars so that is not playing a huge factor for me but would love to hear additional thoughts. Thank you in advance!

The dealership replaced a faulty media hub last week on 2021 GC Limited and now it’s not recognizing anything is plugged in on Uconnect, but devices are charging fine. All cables are good. Any ideas or is this back to the dealership.
I’ve done a bunch of troubleshooting including reset, phone restarts, different phones, etc. Both ports are powered but no data.

Plus, I’m taking this car over from a family member. They never updated UConnect because they said the dealership charged $500. I’m seeing that I can probably do this myself. Is this correct?

Owners hit me with some tips and tricks to keep my Jeep on point, it’s performing as expected just trynna get some insights from long term owners.
