The first time, I thought it was the oil pressure sending unit, so I replaced it. New sending unit was still reading 80 psi (maxed out). Last night, the engine ground to a halt, despite good maintenance with Mobil 1 synthetic oil. I think the high pressure indicates blockage in the oil system, causing oil starvation somewhere in the engine. I think mine was in the lifter area, because they kept getting louder before the engine failed. High pressure is a big problem, in my experience.

What would cause high oil pressure in 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0?
I have the same problem on my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 and was told it's a bad pressure monitor sender that wasn't reading the pressure correctly. I'm not sure if this is correct and I am continuing to look into the problem. MY 4.0 WOULD PEG OUT HIGH AFTER YOU STARTED IT. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SENSOR LOCATED BELOW THE DISTRIBUTER. NOT TOO HARD TO SEE. HAPPENED EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS( 50K-60K MILES)

How do you turn the driving lights on for a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I have a 99 Grand Cherokee and the driving lights are turned on by pulling on the button located at the top of the head light switch on the left side of the column, Note that the driving lights will only work with the low beams and will turn off when you switch to high beams. If you search the net you can find a way to have the driving lights and high beams on at the same time, this usually involves modifying a relay under the hood.
