@my2006SS You'd be surprised. Some people don't understand the simple concept of changing the oil in their car's engine every 3,000 miles, that is if you are using regular oil as opposed to Synthentic blend or Full Synthetic oils which can go longer between changes. They keep driving the car ignoring this and one day the engine starts knocking from poor lubrication. People still don't notice it and then this happens. It's sick. Many women in particular don't know shit about cars.
@mhtube01 Right. And even if it was just a simple head gasket problem, they only cost like $25! The thing is people dont know how to change the part. The cost of having someone fix it is worth more that the car. I personally buy cars expessialy Grand Cherokee's off craigslist with blown head gaskets and re sell them. I make a good profit on them
@my2006SS Cool, that's a good idea. Keep the Jeeps going! You're right about the head gasket though, that seems to be a part of an engine that nobody knows how to change except for those who love working on cars or mechanics. Also, I hate how some people think that if an engine needs a part replaced, it's unacceptable since they should make every part of the engine last forever. Like if a gasket, belt, or a sensor goes bad, the car is "junk." HELLO?! This happens with any engine out there!
Ugh, looks like they were living in it. It's no surprise that the engine knocks. 4.0s usually take a lot of abuse. 4.7s are a great engine as well, but require spot-on maintenance. What a shame. It could be a nice vehicle again though.
this is what happens when you sell cars to niggers. They 'BOO' sells enough crack to get a down payment, then they never pay shit, and you end up re-po'oing a brand new POS that was never taken care of. scumbag nig nogs.
It's a jeep.....jump in it drive to the store, buy some beer. Then go to the parts store, spend $400 on parts, drive it home and spend a Saturday fixing it. Right now my '96 4.0 sits with 288,000 on it. So far just 2 water pumps and 1 radiator. Runs as strong as the day I bought it with 11 miles on it. They are a pretty bullet proof engines.
@MrKaninja You could usually say that about a Jeep 4.0 engine. But this oen is fucked. Badd crank. I mean look that the oil pressure gauge, it has no pressure!
oh so that wasn't sarcasm? Who is it well known by that's its unreliable? Did u know consumer reports has a list of the top 10 vehcials that refuse to die and jeep Cherokee 4.0 is #10? Sure its not #1 but 10 out of how many hundreds or thousands of cars made is pretty good.
i dont think shes blown it sounds like shes got some burnt valves and an exhaust leak. damn if it dont piss me off to see such a nice truck filled with shit though
Thank you to the people that posted on this video, I have a 2000 Grand Cherokee just like this, it had a loud knocking, then all of a sudden lost power and started making that noise, now I know it is a thrown rod. Is this somewhat easily fixable if it didn't destroy the crank or the cylinder wall?
@Bandsmurf basicly that things done, it needs a new motor. itll be 1000 to 1500 for a used motor. count on it being out of commision for a while. i suggest getting a new car. your trans could be next.
@Bandsmurf All you can do is pull it apart and look. If there is minimal damage to the crank, it should be able to be turned, but if there is block damage, you may have to replace the block. If you are mechanically inclined, do the work yourself, if not take it to a reputable shop. If you take it somewhere shitty, it will cost a lot more than a good shop...Good luck.
@Bandsmurf Hard to say with out a tear down but the 4.0 engine sold very well still around in large quanties in local salvage yards can also buy them from yards w/ a garentee just ask them
@tniemirski yea thats whats wrong! Would putting air in my tires fix my slipping rear end?? Well every on youtube knows who not to go to for car problems
I have one just like this one. There is a piston in the oil pan and the racket is the wrist pin hitting the cylinder wall. I think this 4.0 is good for cracking pistons and eventually they come appart.
@0rganDon0r ya know I am sooo sick of GUYS thinking they know every fucking thing!!! Why is it my dumb brother has a car only 3 months each time before he blows the engine? Cuase he does NOT do maintenence! YES I fix my own shit! even my computer. so not ALL women are stupid. My good freind knows nothing about cars or computers so I fix his. Enough said!
@0rganDon0r thanks:) I do enjoy fixing things. I tend to baby everything I own but yes this is discusting how anyone can trash things:( living in an apt complex I see and fix more busted cars around here just from lack of maintenence. VERY SAD:(
These things are TROOPERS. We have a 1994 Jeep Cherokee sitting in California that we are going to get shipped to RI. Jeep is a Strong car. Served us well for 13 years. She had a rest. Time to get back on the road again and kick some Honda Ass! :0 I am 13. :D
Im looking to buy a Grand Cherokee 4.0. I have heard that the 99-01 years are real problimatic. Have you seen alot of Grand Cherokee's those years with alot of problems?
Im thinking of buying a 2002 wrangler 4.0, 5 speed 50k miles....what are some common problems. I had a 99 cherokee 4.0 and the auto trans. went out at 100k so is the 5 speed a better choice,
at 2:07 you can clearly see that someone pinched off the pressure relief thing(not sure what its called). Its there so that the gases put off from the oil can be released. Jeep has it to where itll go into the engine and be burned off. No wonder it blow the engine.
@iluvincitingviolence Its not exhaust gases. You oil produces a gas from getting hot and such and if you pinch everything off to where the gas cant escape, then the pressure is gonna read real high. Either that or someone put way to much oil in the beast
@tripovermyego Oil does create vapor, but think about what you're saying...if oil created THAT much vapor, you'd be topping it off constantly. The gas is called blowby. It is gas that slips by the rings and enters the crankcase. The main thing that happens when it builds too much...it blows gaskets finding places to escape. I'm a master certified tech, guy....trust me. Oil pressure is read off the main oil galley after the pump, where crankcase pressure wouldn't affect it.
@tripovermyego It's cool...but you are right, not good to clamp that port...could push out a main seal, lose all the oil and fry the engine REAL quick...
Im a Jeep fanatic and the I4 are the best engines ever made in any car period!
My I4 has 110k on it thus far and has given me 0 problems. This particular jeep was involeved in a pile up accident, was robbed once, Traveled all along the east coast from Miami to NYC multiple times and pulled a few trailers as well several thousand miles!
But I do maintain the jeep like my life depends on it. Oil changes every 3 months or 2k, regular service, differential, Seals, flushing, tranny service.
well if you got a chevy will than you will forget what a "car problem" is.....i mean we took a 2003 chevy truck 2WD DRIVE!!! places where our FORD 4wd drive will only dream of.....if we get stuck our 2009 POLRIS RANGER will pull us out to verey bad ass thngs
Blown engine ? Um the bolts for the Gasket cover are missing.. To me it soundsl ike it has no oil. The smoke is is it overheating. Maybe if you put some bolts on it and poured oil in it before you started it, it would probably be fine.
@alientech2010 yeah, They look nice,ride nice but have alot of issues, I thought these were good motors, but after doing some research found blown engines on Jeeps ,esp Grand Cherokees, before 200,000 miles is quite common. These vehicles have alot of issues.
@640101vh dude the engine is great. They really do last above 300k a lot if they are treated well. The rest of the car is questionable. For example, I've had to replace every single part of the coolant system in my jeep (water pump, radiator, hoses, thermostat, radiator cap, tons off shitt)
@drippinblood28 True, seems like the engine is the only good thing that lasts on these vehicles. I have read people have got over 300k on Jeep Cherokees but never a GC. I think with all the issues the cooling system(running hot,overheating and other stuff) GC have, its nearly impossible to to get 300K out of the motor.
@640101vh yeah i guess you're right about that. They don't tolerate high rpms either, but will really last you even 400k or 500k if they never overheat and stuff like that.
@640101vh Ive never had a single issue with my 03 GC.(knock on wood). It has the 4.0 in it but never an issue. 129,000 miles and still runs like brand new. I picked it up in DEC of 08 with 91000 miles on it and its NEVER been in the shop nor been worked on minus the PMSC.
@rb26dettsr20 my mom has a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage that she changes the oil every 25,000 miles every time for the past 50,000 miles or more! Sounds like it runs good, but it's definitely having some problems and I see even bigger problems coming, like getting a new engine, transmission, and all of the engine components within another 15,000 miles if she continues to abuse it like she does. It will become junk yard material by that time, and she cannot afford a new car at all.
@turboturtle22 well let me make a video of my BFs truck. now THAT is a piece of SHIT!!!. the gears are not even synched right and it's a bitch to shift. 1981 ford F 150 manual. One door--- don't close all the way, needs a doorpanel, rear lights don't work. motor runs good but the starter is weak. basicaly this thing is held together by WIRE.
Jeeps, Dodges, plymouths and Chrysler never had issues with motors or transmissions until the middle '90's then Quality went down the toilet. My neighbor bought a 1970 Plymouth Duster,slant 6, automatic ,new on his 21'st Birthday. I'd moved away and hadn't seen him in years then in 2003 I'd learned from a mutual friend he still lived in the same house & stil drove that old Duster routinely. That "WAS" Chrysler...Now they're becoming FIAT's
@briquetaverne What american car company didn't have some quality go down the hill during the 90's? Ford and Chevy had their share of issues arising in the 90's as well, most of which could have been prevented by better quality control. GM was GM, now they're government motors. Now everyone has gone to cheap plastic, rock hard interiors and cheap parts. It's sad, really.
Before cash for clunkers, you could find these engines all over the place. A couple hundred dollars, a cherry picker or engine hoist, a couple buddies and a case of beer on a saturday afternoon and you're all set.
This makes me sooo sadddd!!! How could you do thiss??!! Ugh and that engine is soo strong and reliable mine has 155000 miles and runs great! And its super clean
yeah they usually are.. but I think engine reliability..... well overall reliability deteriorated on these generation 4.0 Grand Cherokees and 00-01 Cherokees. I heard alot have oil pumps that go out prematurely as well as excessive premature engine wear.
here in Europe, we have those with the brilliant 2.7 mercedes cdi engine.. No issues what so ever!! :)
Good car!
And btw, can somebody plz define "blown up engine" ??? I mean.. if its blown up, howcome it can still run?
It might be a silly question.. But I am really lost there, cuz when I hear about a blown up engine I just think, "dead.. no chance of reparing, no need of even trying to start it.."
I am a huge gearhead though. So I hope for an answer!
@ x2xhellx3x. I'm not a mechanic so I'm not for sure but. The defination varies by person. I{think most ppl} consider a "blown motor" one that has blown a rod and/or piston. It may still run like this one but on less cylinders. A seized motor on the other hand, is a motor that is locked and dosn't run at all. usually from being run with no oil or having clunky oil in it. Hope this helps!
I know a lot of people that have had tons of problems with these cars. But i believe the v-8 models have far more issues. I try to avoid anything made by Diamler-Chrysler lol
your right that I have a 01 4.0{the only positive thing about it} and it has alot of issues but the engine hasn't been a issue like it is in the V8s corse its not a Chrysler engine either. The V8s also have more sophisticated 4x4 systems and computer which causes more issues as well. The only thing Chryslers has going for them is looks thats it. AVOID them at all cost, I learned it the hard way. lol
That's terrible...i myself had a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee til not very long ago, and when i sold it was still running strong with 127,000 miles on it....and i drive ALOT, like all over florida...whoever had this particular Jeep just didn't care, that much is obvious just by looking at the interior
"Did you remember to change the oil honey?"...."No the salesman at the dealership says it does it automatically when it needs to be changed".....Could you just imagine?
Its an Inline 6 that is just so bad to hear and engine like that. I own a 1993 Jeep Cherokee with 207720 miles on it and my engine don't sound as bad as this vehicle
what a shame. my wife's jeep has over 170,000 miles on it and never had to do anything to it, still running strong. Just keep the oil changed in it every 3000 miles.
did you check out the valve cover no bolts!! prolly spit a rod or lifter collapsed

iluvincitingviolence 1 year ago
@iluvincitingviolence Its not exhaust gases. You oil produces a gas from getting hot and such and if you pinch everything off to where the gas cant escape, then the pressure is gonna read real high. Either that or someone put way to much oil in the beast
tripovermyego 1 year ago
@tripovermyego Oil does create vapor, but think about what you're saying...if oil created THAT much vapor, you'd be topping it off constantly. The gas is called blowby. It is gas that slips by the rings and enters the crankcase. The main thing that happens when it builds too much...it blows gaskets finding places to escape. I'm a master certified tech, guy....trust me. Oil pressure is read off the main oil galley after the pump, where crankcase pressure wouldn't affect it.

@iluvincitingviolence Ok well I learned something new today. Sorry for argueing back

@tripovermyego It's cool...but you are right, not good to clamp that port...could push out a main seal, lose all the oil and fry the engine REAL quick...

Im a Jeep fanatic and the I4 are the best engines ever made in any car period!
My I4 has 110k on it thus far and has given me 0 problems. This particular jeep was involeved in a pile up accident, was robbed once, Traveled all along the east coast from Miami to NYC multiple times and pulled a few trailers as well several thousand miles!
But I do maintain the jeep like my life depends on it. Oil changes every 3 months or 2k, regular service, differential, Seals, flushing, tranny service.

Blown engine ? Um the bolts for the Gasket cover are missing.. To me it soundsl ike it has no oil. The smoke is is it overheating. Maybe if you put some bolts on it and poured oil in it before you started it, it would probably be fine.

@alientech2010 yeah, They look nice,ride nice but have alot of issues, I thought these were good motors, but after doing some research found blown engines on Jeeps ,esp Grand Cherokees, before 200,000 miles is quite common. These vehicles have alot of issues.
640101vh 1 year ago
@640101vh dude the engine is great. They really do last above 300k a lot if they are treated well. The rest of the car is questionable. For example, I've had to replace every single part of the coolant system in my jeep (water pump, radiator, hoses, thermostat, radiator cap, tons off shitt)
drippinblood28 1 year ago
@drippinblood28 True, seems like the engine is the only good thing that lasts on these vehicles. I have read people have got over 300k on Jeep Cherokees but never a GC. I think with all the issues the cooling system(running hot,overheating and other stuff) GC have, its nearly impossible to to get 300K out of the motor.
640101vh 1 year ago
@640101vh yeah i guess you're right about that. They don't tolerate high rpms either, but will really last you even 400k or 500k if they never overheat and stuff like that.
drippinblood28 1 year ago
@640101vh Ive never had a single issue with my 03 GC.(knock on wood). It has the 4.0 in it but never an issue. 129,000 miles and still runs like brand new. I picked it up in DEC of 08 with 91000 miles on it and its NEVER been in the shop nor been worked on minus the PMSC.

rb26dettsr20 1 year ago
@rb26dettsr20 my mom has a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage that she changes the oil every 25,000 miles every time for the past 50,000 miles or more! Sounds like it runs good, but it's definitely having some problems and I see even bigger problems coming, like getting a new engine, transmission, and all of the engine components within another 15,000 miles if she continues to abuse it like she does. It will become junk yard material by that time, and she cannot afford a new car at all.

@2004NissanSentra 25,000 miles? she better start searching for a new engine, because it will probably blow sooner then later .

Jeeps, Dodges, plymouths and Chrysler never had issues with motors or transmissions until the middle '90's then Quality went down the toilet. My neighbor bought a 1970 Plymouth Duster,slant 6, automatic ,new on his 21'st Birthday. I'd moved away and hadn't seen him in years then in 2003 I'd learned from a mutual friend he still lived in the same house & stil drove that old Duster routinely. That "WAS" Chrysler...Now they're becoming FIAT's
briquetaverne 1 year ago
@briquetaverne What american car company didn't have some quality go down the hill during the 90's? Ford and Chevy had their share of issues arising in the 90's as well, most of which could have been prevented by better quality control. GM was GM, now they're government motors. Now everyone has gone to cheap plastic, rock hard interiors and cheap parts. It's sad, really.

yeah they usually are.. but I think engine reliability..... well overall reliability deteriorated on these generation 4.0 Grand Cherokees and 00-01 Cherokees. I heard alot have oil pumps that go out prematurely as well as excessive premature engine wear.

Good car!
And btw, can somebody plz define "blown up engine" ??? I mean.. if its blown up, howcome it can still run?
It might be a silly question.. But I am really lost there, cuz when I hear about a blown up engine I just think, "dead.. no chance of reparing, no need of even trying to start it.."
I am a huge gearhead though. So I hope for an answer!
P.S sorry for the spelling, no time!
x2xhellx3x 2 years ago
@ x2xhellx3x. I'm not a mechanic so I'm not for sure but. The defination varies by person. I{think most ppl} consider a "blown motor" one that has blown a rod and/or piston. It may still run like this one but on less cylinders. A seized motor on the other hand, is a motor that is locked and dosn't run at all. usually from being run with no oil or having clunky oil in it. Hope this helps!

I know a lot of people that have had tons of problems with these cars. But i believe the v-8 models have far more issues. I try to avoid anything made by Diamler-Chrysler lol
97I30T 2 years ago
your right that I have a 01 4.0{the only positive thing about it} and it has alot of issues but the engine hasn't been a issue like it is in the V8s corse its not a Chrysler engine either. The V8s also have more sophisticated 4x4 systems and computer which causes more issues as well. The only thing Chryslers has going for them is looks thats it. AVOID them at all cost, I learned it the hard way. lol
