Can Jeep service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Jeep drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Jeep Grand Cherokee? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Jeep Grand Cherokee differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Grand Cherokee’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Grand Cherokee’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Grand Cherokee check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Cherokee?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Cherokee. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Grand Cherokee.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Grand Cherokee?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Grand Cherokee’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Grand Cherokee forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Drivetrain Service

Your Grand Cherokee drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Jeep, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Jeep's recommendations.

When to Get Jeep Grand Cherokee Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Grand Cherokee might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
