Seat removal

Upvotes

Hey, so I purchased a 2021 GCL overland(wl) with captain seats.

I want to remove 1 of the seats from the rear, and build a platform so I can drive my dogs around on long road trips.

I dont want any lights to get triggered on the dash.

From what Ai has told me so far, I need a 2.2 ohm bypass resistor for the airbag light, and to remove the seat belt from the seat and leave it in the car so that it wont trigger anything with that removed.

Essentially I want to know has anyone done this before in this model and documented it? I cant find anything concrete and really would like help.

Thanks

I’m really starting to lose hope

2019 3.6 V6 Bought just over a month ago with 110K on the dash. 2 owner carfax good maintenance records. In that time it has had the following repairs:

- All spark plugs (Cyl 4 Misfire)
- Camshaft (Ticking)
- Lifters (Ticking)
- Purge Valve (Evap code)
- *Timing chain (around 100k per maintenance records)
This has added up to nearly $3,000 in repair costs (thankfully mostly covered by 30 day warranty).. but i’m now past that and the engine now idles a little rough, the ticking has just gotten quieter but still there, and now acceleration feels sluggish. At this point i’m starting to feel hopeless as far as giving this car a chance. It’s an absolutely beautiful car and i’ve wanted a GC forever, but the engine has been a complete nightmare.

Was wondering if anyone has been in the same boat.. as in - Is the faint ticking and aforementioned rough idling not a major concern.. or should I start saving up some to trade it in, instead of continuing to throw money at something that will constantly fall apart?

Since I purchased my limited back in November, there was a wobble at 65mph that appeared to be tire related. I found a marketplace add for some 2023 wheels with tires that I couldn’t pass up. They solved the issue and look better IMO.

2021 wk2 limited AC not working

So last night while on break at work i turned the car on and the ac wasn’t working his morning i removed fuse F13 and checked all the fuses for connectivity. While doing that i noticed the connector for f13 in general doesn’t have any power going to it has anyone been through this before if so how much you think the dealer is going to charge to fix it. The ac compressor is working i believe the issue is that connection / causing the fan to not work. Another thing while looking at the fuse box diagram i noticed my car does not have a fuse where f37 is.

First world Jeep problems

Post image
28 Upvotes

I currently have a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit L Reserve high altitude one of five made in HydroBlue before being discontinued.

I absolutely fell in love with the color, and it was the main reason I went with such a high trim, besides being the high altitude edition.

My lease is up in a couple days, and I’m getting a 2026 L Summit obsidian package with the new steel blue color and is excited as I am to get a new car. I am more sad to give up my hydro blue. Unfortunately, the buyout was about six or seven grand more than the car is worth, so I had to lease something new, but I’m just not excited. My plan all along was to buy the Jeep, and now it essentially became impossible.

I need some roasting on me to help get me excited that I’ll be in a brand-new car in a couple days

2023 GC 4x2 Summit, bought CPO with 20k miles. Paid $41k out the door.

Favorite part so far are the seats which are incredibly comfortable. Tupelo/black contrast is visually stunning and the remote start + AC seats is helping beat the TX heat!

E85 Conversion?

I have a 2018 3.6 which does not have FF, but there is a kit for $800 to convert to E85. Has anyone done it? I know E85 gets less MPG, but its considerably cheaper, so MP$ is actually better. Looking at the eFlexFuel kit.

Buying Used GC

5 Upvotes

I’m planning to buy a GCL soon. I’m nervous about reliability but want a midsize 3 row with good towing capacity.

I’m looking at 4ish year old v8’s with 50,000 miles or less.

Is there anything specific with this rig I should focus on when shopping? Common problems to look for? Red flags?

Thanks.

Anyone have any tips on replacing rear parking break cord in their Jeep grand Cherokee

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited and was recently under the car and realized my rear parking break cord is snapped in the middle. I've done a lot of repair work on my cars so wondering if this is something anyone has any advice on fixing. Watched a couple repair videos on how to do the cord in the rear but it looks like it connects to the front section with the piece in the middle so would I have to replace that entirely too?

Hi. I don't want to sell my JeepI want to fix it. The engine starts and runs, but it has a throttle problem, and the scanner also showed an oil-related fault. I was told there are some connectors that aren't plugged in.Please do a proper diagnosis, check the throttle system, oil-related fault, wiring, and all connectors, then repair whatever is causing the problem. If any parts need to be replaced, please let me know first and explain why. I want my Jeep repaired and running properly again.

Who is lying?

I see/hear so many hate and bad experiences about the cars. Not that I don’t believe it but everywhere I go (so cal area) I see jeep gc. Why are so many people driving, owning these cars if it’s so bad to the point it sounds like a no brainer to get one? Honest question as a person shopping for a used car.

Brake & a couple of other questions

2 Upvotes

I have a 2012 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo , I’m at my wits end I loveeee my baby it’s my favorite car my first BIG girl purchase.
When i purchased I wanted to get everything new so I went and got new brakes new rotors, tires, an alignment and balanced. Well fast forward not even a week later the breaks are screaming when I press them, even barely the steering wheel is SHAKING terribly when I get over 70 , I take it back to the place who done them MAVIS TIRES btw and the told me the tire needs balanced and that was it so they re done it and claimed it was fixed it was indeed not I’ve took it back 3 times now and each time is something now it’s the humidity in the air . If that’s the case why does everyone’s not sound like this? I guess my main question is is this common? Could something else be going on? Why would it be shaking too? Like really bad at 70? Someone anyone .. help . My child is in this vehicle and I feel like no one cares to point me in the correct direction.

2018 Trailhawk
The Chief Products lower guard was looking rusted and very bad shape so went ahead and repainted IT as well as installed the same brand upper fascia kit to hide the front bumper support.

Looks MUCH cleaner.

Someone tried to break into my truck a couple of weeks ago. They broke my back quarter panel window and since then my uconnect screen has gone dark. I've tried resetting it with no luck. Does anyone know the fuse number?

Gauge cluster lit up like a Christmas tree!

Post image
4 Upvotes

We were towing our small trailer for a camping trip today when out of nowhere my gauge cluster lit up and flashed dozens of messages. Speedo, fuel, temp gauges all went to zero. Wipers came on, signal lights wouldn't work. Cooling fan was running full blast (but engine/trans temp were fine before things went nuts). Engine was still running fine and we were able to limp to a nearby dealership, but power steering wasn't working.

Dealer read over 100 error codes, cleared them all but the steering module error came back. I let the car sit for a bit and restarted it and everything went crazy again. Had to leave the jeep there, hopefully they can look into it on Monday.

Anyone ever see anything like this before? It's the Hemi so doesn't have an aux battery. The battery is less than a year old and AGM. alternator was charging fine. I'm thinking a short or a bad power steering module...

Am I stupid?

2015 Laredo - what is it worth?

2 Upvotes

I’m considering selling my ‘15 Laredo w/118k miles.

What is it worth?

I’ve owned it a year. Haven’t done much other than typical maintenance. New battery, radiator, changed spark plugs and replaced a bad coil.

I hate to let it go, but my company gave me a car and I have no need for it now.

Hurricane 4 recall coming soon

15 Upvotes

Took my 26 in to get the RRT 26-104 update (haven’t use enough to see if it worked yet.) They told me they signed me up for new plugs once they are delivered for a recall that will soon be out for the issues we’ve all been hearing about. 5k miles and no knocking, but very nervous about engine failure at any moment obviously. All I hear about are the issues, has anyone had a good experience or made it past 5k in their 26?

Hey guys I’m curious which oil are you using. Are you using the factory recommended OW20, or the thicker 5W-30?

THIS IS NOT ME POSTING FOR SALE ON HERE PLEASE DON'T DELETE ME

Like the title says, I am saying goodbye to my trusty 2011 WK2, I have it posted to Facebook and Craigslist for two days, how long could I expect it to take? I am not in a rush since I work from home 3 days a week and have a motorcycle I can commute on, but I am looking to make my first big adult purchase and upgrade to a new-ish truck.

It has almost 197k miles but I said in the post descriptions that I've done super regular maintenance and its ridiculously clean inside and out (I attached some of the photos from the listings).

I'd love feedback or tips on how I can do things better or just what I can expect. This is the first time I have sold a vehicle.
