Every ignition system in a Jeep has a starter motor. Cherokee is hands down the best selling SUV of the past 30 years in the U.S. Chrysler has devoted millions of dollars to developing cutting-edge technologies in the light-duty vehicles market. Unfortunately, there are things that can and will go wrong with any model year sport utility vehicle. A used starter motor for a Jeep Grand Cherokee can be bought on this website. How Jeep Ignition Systems Can Fail Electricity flows through the battery terminal and is dispersed to various modules and sensors in late model SUVs. When the engine block is running, the battery is kept at a constant charge. The moment that a battery loses its charge, a shut down of the block can occur. People who try to restart a Cherokee find that it might not crank over and a persistent problem might occur. 4 Common Jeep Starter Problems 1. Bad solenoid terminal wire 2. Bad ignition switch 3. Defective wiring harness 4. Blown starter motor It does not matter that a vehicle is brand new, preowned or recently service by a mechanic. Problems will eventually happen during the ownership of a Grand Cherokee SUV. It most cases, a starter is usually the culprit when an engine will not crank over. Some Jeep Grand Cherokee starter motor problems have turned out to be other issues. Things like a bad fuel pump relay switch, TPS and neutral safety switch being defective do cause a similar issue. The 3.7-liter V6 and 4.7-liter V8 blocks are the most common to find in the Grand Cherokee trim version. While mid 2000 versions have been noted as being stable, there have been some recalls on fuel pumps […]
Jeep Axle Replacement Parts
Jeep Axle Replacement Parts The axle configuration is the critical system for any Jeep. Jeeps manufactured from the 1970s to the present, incorporated Dana axles in their drive trains. Without good strong axles, Jeeps would not be able to handle the heavy loads and high torque situations that Jeep owners are known for. Finding a replacement OEM Jeep axle can be a daunting task without knowing where to find the correct part. The typical Dana axle configuration includes inner axle spline counts of 10, 19, 29, 30, 32, 33 and 35. Gear ratios were in the range of 2.77:1 to 5.89:1. The carrier break ranged from 2.72:1-3.73:1 and 3.92-5.89:1, with some models using the higher speed of 2.72. These axles were used in both the front and rear configurations. Dana began manufacturing high quality axle components in the 1940s, and still uses some of those designs today. The Dana 44 is the typical axle system found in most Jeeps. The design can be found in early models of the Jeepster Commando and Commando, available from 1967 through1973. One of the recent Jeep models to install this axle is the 2012 Wrangler Rubicon (2003-2012). Various Wrangler models have also used a Dana Jeep axle, from 1997 models to current editions. Used axles and parts are still available, the trick is knowing where to locate these items. Dana axles have a proven track record, but like other parts, they need to be maintained and lubricated on a regular basis. Some models are known for durability issues, but these are related to diesel, big gas power and heavy loads. The main concern is the life of the differential bearing. Bearings will begin to wear out under heavy use […]
Used Jeep XJ Control Arms
Used Jeep XJÂ Control Arms The control arm of a vehicle is a vital component of the vehicle’s suspension. Each vehicle has a front control arm, which is also called an A-frame, and a rear control arm.Although control arms have to be particularly durable and sturdy due to their role of constantly supporting the vehicle in all types of conditions, old age and wear and tear can eventually cause the control arm to malfunction.The Front Control ArmThe front control arm of a Jeep FJ is connected to many important parts of the vehicle, such as the bushings, the spindles, the axles and the ball joints. Having a strong control arm in the front of the Jeep FJ is vital to the functions of all of these parts. The Rear Control Arm The control arm that is in the rear of the vehicle contains many vital parts of the suspension, and it ensures that the vehicle’s wheels and shocks are stable. Reasons That The Part Fails A control arm usually doesn’t fail completely at one particular moment, and it is not a part that will fail without warning. After a vehicle has been driven for many thousands of miles and endured many rough road conditions, certain parts of the control arm may begin to become less sturdy. Over time, the control arm may develop a knocking sound, or the vehicle’s axles may begin to become relatively unbalanced. Both of these occurrences are signs that the control arm may need to be replaced. Shopping For Used Parts With Us Shopping for used parts on our website is exceptionally convenient and easy.
