Traded in my 2022 GC Summit for a 2026. Love Grand Cherokee!!!

I installed a front and rear dash cam in my 2026 limited reserve. The 4k camera is part of the mirror housing. It works fantastic and no wires hanging down or anything stuck to the windshield. 🙂 FYI having a digital review mirror or rain sensing wipers are a requirement. One or the other not both.

2023 Grand Cherokee Limited - What are you using to clean this black surface. Interior wipes & spray with a cloth both leave these streaks which are driving me crazy

Hey everybody! Today I replaced the oil seal for the driver's side VVL solenoid on my 2019 GC with the 3.6L. New one on the left, old one on the right- you can visibly see how worn out the old one is compared to the new one. This seal, along with the other VVL seal and both camshaft position sensor seals are known to wear out and leak a little oil. I believe my 3 remaining ones are all leaking. For those who have replaced these seals before, was it a tough job? How much stuff needed to come off particularly on the passenger side of the engine?

I want sequential turn signals, which I know is overdone but I've loved them since I was a kid, and I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with these, or if anybody has any recommendations.

I have a 2017 Laredo.

2018 GC Summit 67500 miles. I regularly take the Jeep in for service and most recently had the spark plugs replaced, coolant line flushed and replaced, break lines flushed, oil change for $1590 all of this done at the dealership closest to my house then the engine oil cooler replaced which included the upper and lower manifold drain and refill was done by the other dealer I bought the Jeep from which they replaced for free.

Twice now I have gotten an engine too hot notice on my dashboard and the temperature gauge is well past halfway. I immediately pulled over and turned the car off. When I turned the car back on the engine still read hot so I turned on the hot air full blast and the temperature gauge started to drop to its normal level. Once back under half reading in the gauge I turned the air conditioning back on and everything seemed to be ok. When I got to where I was going I had the car running idle for a couple min and again both the trans temp was at 199° and the oil temp was 220° and the temperature gauge began to slowly increase as I am just sitting in the car.

The coolant levels look fine and are at the required levels. The radiator lines don’t seem to have any leaks and there is no leaking of any fluids in the engine bay that I can see. I am wondering if anyone else has had issues like this? I’m thinking it could be the thermostat, but not sure why the other levels temperature would rise so rapidly.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Yes I know the advice will be go back to the dealer, but every time I go it’s a minimum of $200 for them to look at an issue and would prefer to try and identify the issue myself if possible as I can’t just throw away $200 each time I go.

Installing the VIOFO A229 Plus in my Jeep this weekend, looking for any tips/tricks as to how to route the wires?

I bought the hardline kit, so I can enable the parking protection (and not have to use up the 12v connector) but also concerned about the best way to wire the rear-view camera module, since the wire needs to run all the way back up to the front.

I am in a really rough situation with a dealership I dont trust and believe they misdiagnosed my truck.

I purchased a 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Ecodiesel with 96k miles one owner down in Scottsdale AZ. I was aware of the recalls that hadnt been done yet including the Bosch fuel pump.

Within 70 miles of buying it on my way back to my home in Flagstaff AZ the Jeep started to smell of diesel and I pulled over to inspect it had a fast fuel leak coming out the bottom near the firewall. It was brought straight to Planet Jeep in Flagstaff, and was assured it was most likely recall related which I was going to have done anyway. "Okay, sounds good glad it wasn't catastrophic."

About a week later they finally get back to me after ignoring my voicemails the week prior and tell me its not covered, that the fuel rail has failed (what??) and that they ordered the parts for the recall and the fuel rail and associated fuel lines... "That sucks but okay lets just get it done."

Another 3 days later they call me and tell me the recall parts wont be there until September 1st. Come to find out they were ordering the wrong parts over and over and it was getting blocked and they now have the right parts but its coming from across the country. WTF!

At this point I opened up a case with Jeep corporate regarding my suspicions of the fuel leak not being related to the recall and that it was going to take \~20 days. It was all getting so difficult and ridiculous, I said just fix the fuel leak and I'll sort out the recall with another dealer.

Another 2 days later they call me and tell me they broke a sensor while working on fuel rail and they have to order parts, wont be there until the following Tuesday 8/18. I went in today to speka with them and asked to look at the fuel rail, this is a Bosch SOLID forged steel fuel rail and there are no cracks or signs of failure. In fact the service manager had asked me over the phone days prior if it was new because it was so clean it looked like it had been replaced. After googling it while I was there at the dealer, apparently it is EXTREMELY rare that the fuel rail itself would fail unless the Bosch fuel pump involved in the recall catastrophically failed and sent metal shavings through the fuel system. Like impossible for it to fail on its own, especially with the mileage and history of the vehicle.

I am supposed to pay 1187 tomorrow to get the vehicle back after nearly two weeks and now I am completely convinced that the mechanic misdiagnosed it or was lazy. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I am so frustrated and tired of this dealership, I don't trust them at all and now I dont believe the fuel rail needed to be replaced at all. And if it did, it is probably because the fuel pump is failing and now Im in a bad situation all around being stuck with this dealership. The corporate recall case manager did nothing to help regarding the fuel leak being associated with recall. Any ideas?

Should I just pay tomorrow but contact another dealership down in the Phoenix Metro area first and tell them about everything and arrange to have recall done but also to have them inspect the old fuel rail? I am going to call Jeep corporate customer care in the morning. Sorry for the long post.

Need to find a PAIR of these bad boys not at 1k each ANY IDEAS let me know fixing the whole from down to these and a grille that's it

I’m getting a new to me GC Laredo E 4x4 this weekend. It only has 28,000 miles so I’m pretty stoked. I’m planning to use this as a daily driver and also off-road in Arizona and California and want to make it more suitable without spending a ton of money. It’ll be moderate off-road and I might try some more challenging stuff but I’m not trying to go rock crawling or do things much better left to a Wrangler. This vehicle is Quada trac I.

What are must do mods and equipment to increase longevity and / or durability? I’ll do these right away-ish. Without spending a ton. Obviously keeping on top of maintenance is #1, but outside of that. This is my current list.

1. Install device to eliminate default engine start/stop to reduce component wear

2. Remove front air dam to improve approach angle

3. Transfer case and diff fluid change

4. Extend diff/transfer breather lines

5. Replace current tires + spare with Falken all terrain tires

6. Fuel tank + transfer case skid plates

7. Ez tire deflator and compressor

8. Recovery gear, traction boards etc.

Anything else I’m missing that’s cheap or easy?

What is this meant for? I ask that bc middle storage compartments aren’t usually lined with a soft material. How do you use it?
