2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ, 4.0L, 4WD, 4 Door, 151k, Automatic with snow tires + summer tires, PA Inspected thru 9/2014.

Runs good and has been reliable for me for the 2+ years I have owned it. Body and frame seem solid, only very minor rust at the bottom of the doors (passes PA inspection). 4WD system works well. It includes two complete sets of wheels and tires. The summer tires/ steel wheels are OK and pass PA inspection. The winter tires shown in the pictures are Firestone Winterforce and are almost like new (less than 2k miles) and are also mounted on their own steel rims. I found that it is un-stopable in the snow with these tires even in 12+ inches of snow.

The Good:

Engine / transmission / drive system is strong and has been reliable. All the fluids were changed with in the last year (engine oil, brake fluid, transfer case, front and rear difs, and antifreeze).

Has new Monroe Air shocks on the back along with a Class III hitch

Has a new muffler

Had a new radiator, water pump, hoses, Hello Fog lamps, and serpentine belt 2 years ago.

The Bad:

Check Engine light comes on for P155 code which is the after Cat oxygen sensor. That sensor only verifies the cat is working for emissions, so the Jeep runs fine. I drove it less than 5K miles a year, so it is emissions exempt.

Some times I get a code for Cylinder #6 misfire but its seems to come and go and only effects it at idle (not a problem under load). I put fuel injection cleaner thru it and it seemed to fix it.

Slight rust at the bottom of the doors, but it does pass PA inspection.

It had AC, but it is long gone. The plumbing and condenser are missing. The AC compressor is still there, but I don't know if it works.

The Ugly:

The body is decent, but has scratches and dings from 150K miles and 13 years. I don't think it has ever been wrecked.

It has two added transmission coolers that I added to deal with towing a 3000 lb boat. It works great but doesn't look the best mounted on front of the radiator.

The interior is mostly OK, but the driver seat is wearing.

Everything works electrically except the front speakers for the radio. The back speakers are Kenwood and sound good.

Local Pickup only, would prefer cash as the time of pick up.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.
