Frickin fiat!!!

I had two '92 Cherokees. a Sport and a Laredo. Both decent cars that I drove for hundreds of thousands of mile. 4.0 automatics. I still have one. When Grand Cherokee first came out with the V-8 I thought of upgrading. My neighbor was parts manager at a large Chicago suburb Chrysler dealer. He said 50% of the parts he sold were for Grand Cherokee and they considered them junk. So none for me. While checking axles for Jeeps at the factory where they were made about four years ago I noticed they were about the size of my thumb at best, and a far cry from the straight axles in my '92's. I mentioned this to the floor supervisor and he said they were strong, and had been tested at Baha. Really? Big deal...like testing a Tonka toy in a sandbox.

We bought my daughter a late 80's early 90's Cherokee, straight 6, it had a cooling problem because of the closed loop system, so we got the parts and she changed it to an open loop, best $100 vehicle I ever purchased. She drove that and loved it for many many miles.

I picked up wife's Jeep at dealership WITH the check engine light by their advice. They said "the book" says to flash the system first and if the light comes back to change the oil pressure sensor. They say no danger driving it with this CEL and may even get an Oil light but disregard. Okay....parts on order, taking the Jeep over the mountains tomorrow. Another little annoying thing about this whole repair process was that they changed my oil and didn't reset the oil engine life display, just a small detail, but if they'll miss that on the most basic of maintenance evolution's what else could they miss???
