'04 ZJ opinions/experience
 

Thinking about a low mileage(21K) 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0
Selectrac. Has DC fixed many of the problems common to late '90s ZJs
I.e. leaks, axle problems, trans problems, or have there been new ones?
I did notice different trans cooler line fittings, an external fuel
filter(fuel pump??), and larger front brake calibers. The old 4 link
rear suspension with track bar has been replaced by a triangular upper
link attached to the top of the differential - is this an improvement or
just a way to lower cost? Have there been any major recalls on these? An
'03 would also be an option, were they better or worse than the '04's?

Thanx :)

Re: '04 ZJ opinions/experience
 

The nomenclature for an 2004 Grand Cherokee is WJ. And as far as I
know none have any problems.
None are off road capable, so I would pass this "triangular"
control arm modification.

I could have backed off a rock and staged my '89 Thunderbird to
look more capable.
