All the minor 98 Cherokee problems, 1. fuel sending unit, 2.instrument panel goes blank, 3. knock and ping using 87 octane.
Number 1. dealer fixed never had the problem again, number 2 the dealer played dumb even thought it was a common problem, fixed it myself, number 3 gave up and ran 89 octane.
After that it was completely trouble free.
I really enjoyed both Cherokees that I owned. They aren't the smoothest riding vehicle in the world but are the most bang for the buck in the small SUV class.
If you drive your cars 200k the Cherokee's with the 4.0L automatic are up to the task.
How did you fix the problem of the instrument panel going blank? I have the same trouble.
Thanks,
Sherry
