How can you tell if a 1998 Jeep Cherokee is a high output 4.0?

There are 2 things you can do, first if it is a v6 then it is a 4.0, know place the jeep in 12 this is first and second gear, it will automatically shift to second. Go on a straight stretch of road, place it in 12 going about 5 or 10 so slow right down then floor the gas pedal, then lightly let off then floor it again and hold it till you it 60mph depending if you are in Canada or the u.s. Use a stop watch to calculate how long it takes to get from 0 or 5 or 10 to 60mph. Dont be worried about blowing your engine, the v6 4.0 in a 1998 jeep Cherokee is very powerful for an SUV motor and is capable of a lot . Be safe when doing this.

Ok this guy BrandonGordon does not know what he is talking about!

All 4.0 are INLINE 6 cylinders! NOT V6!

All 4.0s from 1991+ are HOs for the new Chrysler fuel injection system.

Short answer, under the hood.

How do you fix a blinker that doesn't blink but stays on and you've already changed the bulbs?

The most common problem would be your flasher. It is a module that regulates power going to your bulbs and allows them to flash. Check with your local parts dealer and they should be able to help you without the expense of a mechanic. The flasher usually is inexpensive and easy to fix. if its not the flasher, check the grounds for the pigsockets..............Mike

How do you fix a radiator leak on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee I am not sure if a repair can be made. Today my 3rd radiator is being installed. There appears to be plastic and alum that join together sort of a crimped joint. This is where my failures occured. The first was under my extended warranty. The second occured 3 months after the first. So it was still under the second installation warranty. At one time the Radiatior was all alum and leaks could be easily repaired. They may have needed to be taken out but not replaced with a new one each time.

I like my Jeep Cherokee. It appears that the coolant system, brakes, and air conditioner seem to be it's weak points.

Most likely causes for this are:

3-Low coolant level.

4-Leaves, sand, birds, newspaper, bags, or other debris blocking radiator.

Why would an 89 turn signal indicator stay on in the instrument cluster but the marker light be off outside of the car and blink opposite of each other when the signal is on?

Check the bulb if it is burned out replace it with a 194 The marker light and the signal light in front of the Jeep are designed to flash seperately why I have no idea as for it staying on in the dash board check the switch and also too check to see if you have the proper bulb in the socket as that could cause a problem . also check for loss of ground to the front or rear bulbs...i.e. corrosion

What is the Highway mileage for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?

This is a hard question to answer as the gas mileage varies quite a bit depending on a few things. My Dad and I both have one, I'm getting about 18 MPG mixed driving, where he is getting about 21 MPG. The one big difference, mine is automatic and his is a manual trans. Additionally, the Jeep XJ series has a lot of quirky, but not serious issues, which can seriously affect the gas mileage. A couple of these are the crankshaft sensor and the oxygen sensor. The crankshaft sensors are renowned for going bad, and as they start to go they will cause misfires and eat up your gas mileage. Hope this helps.
