1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L from North America
Summary:
Great, honest four wheel drive
Faults:
Usual GC things. Transmission gave up around 200,000 miles. Of course the viscous coupler in the all time 4wd transfer case. Rear window wiper motor, oh and one alternator.
General Comments:
Outstanding vehicle. I've of course replaced brakes and rotors, and the C/V boots on both front axles about 3 times now. One fuel pump.
Can't beat the ride, still feels tight and solid. Cold A/C, great heat.
Religious with oil changes every 3000 miles. Valvoline 10w30. Started putting in a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer at 280,000. Still holds 60 PSI at cruising speed and 40 at idle on a 90 plus degree day. Never been stuck or left stranded. Maintenance is key, but the 4.0 is great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Brake lights staying on usually mean the pressure switch is bad. The switch is on the brake pedal arm. Try to disconnect it. If the lights go out, that's it. Cheap and easy.
