1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Transmission Problems?
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Trans Problems? So two days ago i drove my truck up to my work.. about 15 minutes away, and it drove completely normal. About an hour later i ran my truck through our wash and parked it outside without drying it off for 30 minutes when it was snowing hard outside... Then i dried it off and started it up, it sounded normal but when i put the trans into DRIVE my Jeep didnt even move.. it felt like it was in neutral.. the same with reverse.. so i ended up leaving it in my parking lot at work until last night when i towed it up to the trans shop.. they said the trans is leaking pressure.. can you tell me how much this repair is expected to cost? Thanks, JULIEN W

The shifter cable froze. Posibly the case also froze and cracked.

2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo...Repair or Replace?
Just found out this morning that repairs on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo will cost $1,600 total. Mostly a fuel intake problem. Here's the question. The trade in value at KBB is anywhere between $3500-$5000 for my car in fair to good condition, but would probably be offered less due to the repair work that would need to be done. I still owe about $2700. The car has 110,000 miles on it. If I were to buck up for the repairs, how much longer do you think I could count on this car? Could I get another 30,000-40,000 out of it? Or would I be better off looking for a new car? Well, what I said about the intake wasnt necessarily correct. The problem was an air to fuel ratio not being what it should. Here are the 3 things they recommended... - Dropping the Fule tank and replacing the quad ring with Trailer Hitch - Service Rear Main Seal: Leaking - Transfer case adaptor seal: Leaking Wanted $1601 to fix all three. I'm still shopping around for a better price, but it seemed (as always) that the parts were cheap, its the labor that would jack it up. Thanks.

Dude, that is some serious cash for those repairs. It cost me $ 350 bucks for my intake work. Included labor. I would search out a good lower priced repair place. as long as the mill and vehicle body is in shape, keep it. remember, what ever dealer ship you go to, when you trade that in,will turn around and re sell it at a much highet price, than what he gave you for the reade in.

1st, $1600 sounds like a lot for that sort of repair...did you shop around? 2nd, there is no way to tell when a car will complately crap out, but if you keep up on scheduled maitance that Jepp would get near 200k

I have a 1995 Grand Cherokee Laredo with over 150K miles on it. It has the V8 and is still running strong. I would repair your intake, not replace the truck. You should still get more than enough miles on it to make it worthwhile. Unless you could trick the car lot about the actual condition of the engine, they'd give you way less for it on trade. Also, most car lots use NADA for values, not KBB. NADA values are generally less than KBB. If you were lucky, you'd break even on what you owe. Plus, you're reasonably close to paying it off. Keep it.

i would trade it if it was mine...its 7 years old...did you get your money out of it???

Stay with the Jeep you have. I have seen many Jeeps with well over 2000,000 miles. Advice from a retired Jeep Sales Person.

The others are right. $1600 is WAY too much. Also, the KBB on that car is not going to be anywhere near what you will get for it. SUV's right now are worth crap on the market. With that many miles private sale might be $5000. As for getting more miles on it that is no problem as long as you take care of it. They are notorious for hitting the 200,000 mile mark with little problem. So I would get a cheaper repair price, or do it yourself, and keep it.
