Ok.. I'm confused. The US 4.7 uses a chain to drive the overhead cams.
It uses a belt to drive the alternator/AC Compressor/PS Pump/Fan.

Unless they changed something on UK sold Jeeps.

Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra quid for somebody who knows the
difference.

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hey hey hey, go easy on the dealer techs. You don't hesitate to bring us
the things that you can't figure out, but you wanna crap on us when it's
time to get some maintenance done. Can't have it both ways, Doug.
