The Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, produced from 1999 to 2004, marked a significant evolution for the popular SUV. Replacing the ZJ generation, the WJ featured a redesigned platform with a longer wheelbase and a wider track, contributing to a more spacious and stable ride. Under the hood, the WJ offered a range of engines including the 4.0L inline-six, the 4.7L V8, and the 5.9L V8. The latter provided potent power, while the 4.0L engine provided fuel efficiency and reliability. While the WJ was known for its off-road capabilities, it was also appreciated for its on-road comfort and handling, thanks to its independent front and rear suspension. The Grand Cherokee WJ introduced features such as a Quadra-Drive four-wheel drive system, an optional Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and an advanced airbag system, bolstering both performance and safety. However, the WJ generation was not without its share of known issues. The 4.0L engine could suffer from head gasket failures and fuel pump problems. The transmission, especially the 42RE, was also known for its vulnerability to premature wear and tear. The WJ's electrical system was notoriously complex, often leading to frustrating electrical malfunctions. These reliability concerns, coupled with the emergence of newer, more refined SUV competitors, led to the introduction of the WK generation Grand Cherokee in 2005. Despite its issues, the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ remains a popular choice for enthusiasts, particularly those seeking a capable off-road vehicle with a touch of vintage charm. The digital service repair manual provides a comprehensive guide to maintaining and repairing this iconic SUV, equipping owners with the knowledge and resources to keep their WJ running smoothly.
