Grand Cherokee Owners - Fight back!!

Sounds to me you should have found a new mechanic...3 times in 6 months
leads me to believe the repair wasn't done correctly. Not unheard of to need
new bearings at 90,000 miles.

Yes, Matt.
There's some truth to that.
The third repair was done by another shop.
/they did tell me that very few mechanics are able to set up the Dana 44s
correctly particularly if they use the specs from Chrysler.
Chrysler specs them too tight.
This particular shop does a lot of these rear ends and they were very
critical of them.

Forgot the ????? Meaning ,it is a chrysler, not the most reliable car.
You either buy, drive and repair them when they break down( like me ) or
sell it and buy something else more reliable

OK , let me also explain the last remark since you also didnt get that 1

It states LIKE my grandpa's car , not BUY my grandpa's car.

Let use these groups to help each other with technical problems, not to
cry and bitch all the time. You bought a CAR , not a $25000 swiss
precision watch.
Cars break down.... some more then others, fix em and move on or sell
it and buy something else.

AND AGAIN NO !!!! MY GRANDPA'S CAR IS NOT FOR SALE !!!!!

How much is your Grandpa looking to get for his car?

Actually, my brother-in-law just had to get new bearings in the rear of
his JGC at 100,000 miles. I thought that was unusual.

Thank you for pointing out the oversight!!

God Bless.

Save your hard earned cash - Don't buy Jeep

I hate to ask stupid questions, but what was that vehicle used for, any
towing, heavy loads? Also, how often was the final drive oil checked and
changed on that axle? At 90k miles it should have been changed at least
three times.

Unfortunately what I see with a trained eye is the result of oil
contamination and breakdown.
