Jeep Grand Cherokee 1 / ZJ

Production of the ZJ/ZG generation Jeep Grand Cherokee began in 1992, and the first copies of the American SUV appeared in the salons a year later. Grand Cherokee was produced not only in the United States, but also in Venezuela, Argentina and even Austria. ZJ gave way to its receiver WJ in 1998. In 1996, Grand Cherokee underwent a facelift. The bumper, grille and headlights were slightly changed, a new design of the wheels appeared. Changes have also affected the interior space: the storage of small things, redesigned seats and installed double airbags for the driver and passenger. Even the poor received a new steering wheel with the ability to control the audio system and cruise control. The most reasonable choice will be a modification with an inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a working volume of 4 liters. Problems with this engine, although there are, but less often than with diesel engines. For the 4-liter unit are characterized by: cracking of the intake manifold, failure of the oil pump and defects of valve pushers. This most common engine provides quite tolerable dynamics and consumes up to 17 liters in the city and 10 liters on the highway. The least problematic is the 5.2-liter petrol V8. But, unfortunately, it absorbs in the city about 20-22 l / 100 km and 15-17 l / 100 km on the highway. Fortunately, all gasoline engines can be equipped with a liquefied gas power system, which can significantly reduce the cost of operation. Regardless of the type and modification of the engine installed on the car, it must be borne in mind that in old age the probability of malfunctions is very high. Due to the high fuel consumption of gasoline engines, many may be interested in more fuel-efficient diesel units, consuming about 8 liters on the highway and 12 liters in the city. However, when purchasing a Grand Cherokee, it is best to avoid diesel modifications. First of all, due to low dynamic characteristics. 2.5-liter turbodiesel capacity of 115 hp. hardly cope with a large and heavy SUV. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes a painfully long 20 seconds. 2.5 TD is also extremely problematic.

The drive is carried out only on the rear axle or on all wheels with an interaxle differential. The neutral position is used to shut down both bridges, for example during towing. In 4LO mode, two bridges are constantly used over the lowering gearbox. NV-249. Used with engines 4.0 L, 5.2 L and 5.9 L, on the handle the inscription Quadra-Trac. There are three modes: 4All, N and 4LO. The distribution of the moment between the axes is carried out using a viscous coupling. NV-231. It was installed with diesel engines, as well as with some 4-liter gasoline engines from 1993-1995. It's on the command-trac pen. The gearbox positions are 2H, 4H, N and 4Lo. The transmission behaves best off-road, which in principle was created. The most vulnerable node in the all-wheel drive system of the Jeep Grand Cherokee viscous, the repair of which costs a lot of money. The transmission of insufficient torque or extraneous sounds are harbingers of inevitable repairs. Often there are problems with crosses of the front driveshaft. Before buying, you need to listen to the work of bridges: even a slight howl can mean the need for repairs in the near future. The resource of the automatic transmission is significantly reduced with frequent overcoming off-road, so beware of instances that spent a lot of time outside the asphalt.
