Maybe one is the premium radio system VS the lower end system? IDK. Never pulled a radio before...got one to put in my 87 Ranger realized the whole dash has to come apart, realized all the plastic pieces that are 30+ years old would break trying to get it apart and changed my mind about...

They are the same, just tuned different for different applications...err...power outputs.

Most likely it would be integrated into another circuit for something you use, like the heated seats, or auxiliary power jacks, USB ports, who knows, but I bet they thought about the whole we'll just pull the fuse to disable it idea and made sure it was shared with something you use...

Its subscription based for the customer, but not for GM, or any of the authorities. Just because you aren't subscribed to it, doesn't mean GM couldn't activate it for the authorities.

LOL once again the VIN doesn't tell you an engine 100% for sure. Because my VIN doesn't have any number in it or letter in it in that position that means anything related to an engine. Just because you find it on the internet doesn't mean its accurate. Yeah they are all over the place and...

I keep seeing this same line referenced all over the place "W" in the VIN or a "6" in the VIN meaning Windsor or Romeo and neither are accurate my VIN has neither of those digits anywhere in the VIN, and definitely not in the 8th digit of the VIN....wish people would stop referencing these...

Ahh yes, when trucks were built to do truck things with rather than soccer mom mall crawler family sedans. Its an F250 by the looks of what I can make out of the emblem on the fender, and might say Power Stroke underneath. Definitely wouldn't mind something like that for the occasional...

Sport Trac is just an Explorer with the top/sides cut off the cargo area. Pretty useless, which is why they're not as popular as the Ranger or regular Explorer which could be had with a 3rd row I think starting around 2004 or so...They share the same engine/transmission issues between Explorer...

It should also be noted that in extremely cold conditions the 4WD system may not engage immediately and it'll definitely bang into 4WD if your rear wheels are spinning when you hit the button or turn the knob the sudden loading of the drive train from the front end being in "neutral" or...

I did some towing with both my 1st gen Grand Cherokees with the 4L I6 engines in both and never had any issues with 3-4k...I did tow my car trailer with a full size Bronco on it once with the Jeep but don't recommend that kind of weight and was way over the 5k towing capacity of my Jeep, it did...

They're extremely capable crossovers for sure, the most capable out there actually, even more capable with the Quadra-Drive 4WD system which gives you the e-locker in the rear. However, I found I never needed lockers with either of my ZJ's, the limited slip in my 98 ZJ got me everywhere I'd...

My 96 ZJ had the 249 Transfer case, the Viscous Coupler surprisingly lasted 219k before it started having fits...then it finally failed completely around the 221k mark which luckily when they fail they fail locked so you still have 4WD, its just part time 4WD at that point, so pulling into and...

Good to know they went back to that system, the constant power being sent up front is a huge help in bad weather, the 247 transfer cases they went to in the WJ's and newer were only rear wheel drive until traction was lost then it would variably send power to the front. Correct ZJ's, WJ's...

5.7L HEMI is only available in the Grand Cherokee L Overland and higher trims which is the 3 row Grand Cherokee. I figured they'd have a higher tow capacity but they don't, pretty much the same 7200lbs as my 08 Explorer with the 4.6L V8. So I guess no point in getting the V8 LOL. Wouldn't...

The ZJ's did great in snow, I think because they were so well weight proportioned front/rear. The first ZJ I had was full time 4WD and used the NP249, no computer input garbage that they use now. It was a 48/52 front to rear torque split, and could send all power front or rear if needed via...

Its a Jeep sorry you got one of them things. Let us know when it become a Heep instead. I've owned 2 Grand Cherokees, both of them were 1st gen ZJ's though back when the I6 was still available, and still had a manually shifted transfer case, yep with low range which hardly got used LOL. Don't...

They don't not teach any stuff no more.

I live in Idaho, there's still several running around in really good condition, but when you find one for sell they want a premium for them....found one for sell a few years ago for $8500 had 58k original miles on it, was owned by a retired couple, looked like they just drove it off the showroom...

Since you are in the engine already its a good idea to replace them. I've heard of a few failures but not many, but while you are in there it only makes since to replace them. Looks like the gear set is less than $80 on Rockauto.com....well worth it if you are going to reuse the 2.8L V6 by the...

Given the really low riding cars and crossovers of today, I'd say snow plowing is pretty common ;).
