Best video for a reason never to buy a jeep cherokee

[@MMAGUY13]

My wife starter went and after watching this video, I think I’ll just let the mechanics handle it

[@neonmike-tl4mx]

I'm so glad my JGC is the V8. I was able to do this job with a jack and 2 jackstands and didn't have to remove anything but the heat shield and skidplate on the bottom to replace my starter.

I'm about to tackle this on Saturday. I'll definitely follow these steps. Thanks for taking the time to video this.

[@kevinmcdaniels7612]

Very informative. Lot of complex steps.
Makes it clear why the labor cost for this repair could be high.

[@judedavidson5453]

I'm going to do my engine mount soon. May as well do the starter .

[@derekrodriguez8694]

Thank you! This video saved the day! PS you sound like Charlie Sheen

[@dossiegates1884]

what in the world were these engineers thinking of ? this is a bad design ,i thought the 04 nissan titan was bad!

[@marmrlss7332]

Did gou use 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet for the motor bracket

[@samuelthomas9637]

Hello, so I changed my starter 6 weeks ago. It went out 5 days ago. So I replaced it with a used starter. I had it tested and was told it was good but it didn’t work when I installed it. Then I took the car to an auto repair shop. They replace the starter and the car shut off while my son was driving. The repair shop said the starter went bad. So they replaced it again and the same thing happened.
My question is, the negative wire clip has a section that looks like it should be grounded somewhere. Could that be the reason it is destroying starter?

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Great video now I’ll be hoping my starter or motor mount doesn’t go out 😄

[@paulkaras3389]

got a video for the 5.7 hemi?

[@kevindrummer3014]

How long did this take you? How many hours of labor is reasonable from a mechanic?

[@oscargarcia377]

Does it differ with the 5.7 trim ?

[@nataliadiaz6243]

Don’t buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee🤦🏽‍♀️

[@beantown_billy2405]

And I thought Ford engineers hated us the most

[@samuelthomas9637]

Anyone try this without a lift?

[@RS-tp9gr]

Yeah, I think I’ll sit this one out and eat the cost..

[@JohnNikolaou-c3g]

Holly shit

[@MacAutoDiag]

Failed to mention whether it's AWD or fwd. Thumbs down 👎🏽
