    '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee stuck in park

    I got in the ZJ today, turned it on, pushed in the brake, pulled the gear shifter back to reverse, tapped the gas, and the Jeep didn't move. The engine is running, but when I move the gear shifter, I'm not hearing anything engaging from the transmission. It appears to be stuck in park no matter...

    Coolant in the transmission line?

    Hey guys, I'm working on the Grand Cherokee ZJ's radiator. There's an ATF leak coming from the lower transmission cooler line. I cleaned up all the oil that was on it and checked the fitting. I end up unscrewing it from the radiator and coolant came out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but coolant...

    New muffler on the ZJ

    The muffler on the ZJ is splitting right at the horizontal seam. I'd attempt to seal it up with some putty, but the people who judge if I meet state emissions don't deem that adequate. With that information in hand, do I need to cut or weld when putting a new muffler on the ZJ? I see it's only...

    Coolant is leaking from the bottom radiator hose

    Another day, another fix! Hope this one is easy. There appears to be a small leak coming from the bottom radiator hose. A drop falls once every 7 seconds or so and I've had to refill the coolant reservoir. I assume the seal where the bottom radiator hose connects to the radiator is shot. Am I...

    What's the best way to clean a cloudy turn signal?

    Not too long ago, the Jeep fell victim to a most unfortunate deer. In short, the grill, passenger side panel, headlamp, turn signal, fog light, and a bit more had to be replaced. With a new, crystal clear turn signal installed on the passenger side, it's most apparent the driver side's turn...

    What do you think of this rust spot below the passenger door? [Pictures]

    I have a rust spot directly below the passenger door that appears to have made its way through metal to the other side. I'm no body repair specialist, but have seen really great only tutorials for repairing this kind of rust spot. My only concern is that the rust spot appears to have made its...

    I need a soft top part!

    The weather is warming up, and not like a bear, I'm making the necessary preparations for soft top use this year! However, the part of my soft top frame that clamps to the windshield is rather beat up and rusted. Does anyone know if any company sells this specific soft top part separately? I'd...

    Question on the factory exhaust system of an '04

    I plan on replacing the entire exhaust system on my '04 with the 4.0, but I'm rather confused as to its setup. I notice on my TJ that the exhaust manifold splits into 2 pipes that converge directly in front of the oil pan, and then head to the catalytic converter. However, with all the exhaust...
