2000 Grand Cherokee

[xul77]

I just gave my son our 94 Grand Cherokee and was thinking of buying a 2000 GC or a Chevy Suburban, any feedback would be welcome. My 94 GC was a very good vehicle not a single problem, but I have heard some unflattering comments about the new GC. Thanks again for any help

HEY THERE!!!
IF YOU WANT A NEW JEEP. YOU SHOULD TRY AND FIND A '98 5.9 GRAND CHEROKEE. IT WAS ONLY MADE IN '98 WITH LIMITED PRODUCTION #'S I'VE PERSONALLY OWNED A 4.0, 5.2 AND THE 5.9
THE BEST ONE OUT OF THE 3 WAS THE 5.9. I'VE USED MY FRIENDS NEW 4.7 FOR 2 WKS. HE WANTED MY OPINION. HE WENT FROM A 5.9 DURANGO TO THAT. HE WASN'T SATISFIED WITH THE CHANGE. IT DEFINATELY HAS A COUPLE OF PLUS' THE HIDDEN TIRE WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A LONG TIME AGO. THAT ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM THAT THEY BOAST ABOUT IS GREAT BUT IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE 5.9. WHICH, ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.
ANYWAY, THE NEW ONES SEEM TO BE OKAY BUT I HAPPEN TO LIKE THE LOOKS OF THE OLD STYLE. IF YOU LIKE POWER. THEN CHECK OUT THE 5.9 IT IS TOTALLY SET UP WITH THE BEST GEARS FRONT & REAR, 360 MOTOR, EXCELLENT ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS THE SAFEST JEEP EVERY MADE AND THE BEST PERFORMANCE WISE. THE QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF IS " WHICH BODY STLYE DO I LIKE MOST?" "CAN YOU GET A TOTALLY LOADED ONE LIKE YOU WOULD FIND A 5.9?"

Thanks Moparnut..your right about the older body style, I'm not that crazy about the new look, my wife drove the GC more than I anyway. I usaully drive either my 98 Ram 2500 QC 4x4 24v diesel, 68 Chevy C/10, or 84 CJ7, the latter two being worked on right now. I use my truck for towing a horse trailer and a flat-bed trailer which is the reason for the diesel, I really like the Cummins but next time I might op for the V10, my dealer told me they are coming out with the 2001 Rams in March, have you heard anything about that...I went to your homepage those Holley trucks look pretty cool. Thanks again for your comments..

NO PROBLEM!!! WHERE IS CAMDEN ,SC?? MY PARENTS RETIRED TO SENECA, SC THATS RIGHT BY CLEMSON. MY SISTER LIVES IN GREENVILLE AND A COUPLE OF MY AUNTS LIVE IN WAHALLA, THATS CLOSE TO CLEMSON AS WELL.
IF YOU LIKE POWER IN A 2500 QC, THEN HOLLEY DODGE CAN BUILD YOU A SUPERCHARGED V-10 THATS BACKED BY A CHRYSLER WARRANTY. AS LONG AS THE WORK IS DONE BEFORE YOU TAKE DELIVERY. I STUMBLED ON TO THEM AT A SHOW. I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THERE 98 SHOW TRUCK WHICH WAS BASED ON A 2500 QC V-10. THERE IS MORE WORK DONE TO MINE THEN WHAT IS LISTED ON THERE WEBSITE. BUT THERE LISTED VERSION I DROVE AS WELL AND IT KICKS BUTT FOR A HAULER. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR ENDEAVOR!!!
