My 2001 is my third Cherokee and I love it, but I do have the same problems as everyone else. AC went out, intermittent engine light, and front speakers and power windows went down because of the door wiring harness.
The speakers and power windows were a relatively easy fix as described above. Just pull back the rubber hose that shields the wires; it comes off and goes back easily, and patch the broken wires. It's pretty tight in there, but with patience you can get it done.
Got a 2000 XJ with 202,000 miles. It was bought new. Good vehicle.
To fix that whistle, change your intake/exhaust gasket... took me a year to find it.
Hey guys, I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic, and every time I am entering the highway making a right turn around a clover leaf, there's a rubbing/squeak in the left front that goes away when I accelerate. Think it might be the U joint, but I thought I would bounce it off you all.
I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 429,235 miles, it is my first Jeep Cherokee. I bought it in 2001 and to this date 8-6-09 it is still running very good, I bought it with 149,000 miles on it, it has had a transmission replace around 300,000 & a new AC compressor installed at 300,000, front U joints in steering axles around 300,000. Has the original 4.0 engine, no transfer case work.
I have a 2000 XJ, and had the whistle for 2 yrs. Jeep shop couldn't find it. It only happened under throttle, and by the time I parked and opened the hood it was gone. I couldn't quite pinpoint the sound, but it got very loud, weird looks from other drivers. Finally I replaced the intake/exhaust gasket and it went away. I figured part of the gasket was sticking out in the airway, like a blade of grass, causing the whistle.
Try this last, it takes about 3-4 hours by yourself, there are some bolts wedged between the manifolds that are hard to reach. Good Luck!
