Before you head for the 4.4 Jag engined LR3, wait and see what the
turboJag engine in the next gen Range Rover has to offer. Presuming
of course your skill at lottery tickets improves.

luck with them. We shall see what the dealer says.

Re: 2005 Grand Cherokee Hemi bucks and vibrates!
 

saw this post in the Mustang group.....

I took delivery of a 2005 GC Limited w/ HEMI(R) MDS. I am not pleased
and not sure i want to fight it out with the dealer and chrysler or
not.

Upon leaving the dealer: engine light came on and stayed on. Hesitation
during normal exceleration.
Dealer kept truck for 1.5 days and had the hole top of the motor apart
and the chrsyler engineers on the phone. They chalked it up to a chafed
wire connected to the MDS system. well i got my new jeep back and im
very very upset.

yes it has monster power but it has these hesitations throughout
exceleration that drive me nuts. They are not obvious jerk u back and
forth hesitations. They are an unevenness in applyed power through
exceleration. I HATE it. makes me feel like its not put together
correctly. My wif has an escalade with a 345hp engine that is smooth as
silk through power application. My HEMI is more like a 2 stroke
kawasaki as it has high spots and low spots in power application from
1700 all the way up through 4000rps. I'm sorry guys im sure my
terminoligy is not the best. I'm bummed. I love the truck. just started
searching the groups to see if anyone else has the same problem.
