I have a 1995 Grand Cherokee Limited and I am randomly getting front end noise. This can be a rumble or even a howl in the driver's front wheel with vibration. This happens at random and I just never know when. Ths is a AWD NP249 TC and we have replaced both front and rear drive shafts, both cv axles on the front end.The transmission was recently rebuilt about 4 months ago too. I just have no clue what's causing this and it's hard to pinpoint when it happens randomly then after cutting car of will be ok later. I'm thinking perhaps differential but would like an expert opinion. 2 Answers

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V8. Was sitting at an intersection and the oil pressure just went to zero and my "check gages" light when on. I checked the oil the day before and oil level was fine. Anyways, in the parking lot i happened to have a quart of oil in my jeep that i dumped in. Feeling risky i started it up and the guage stayed good for a bit and then dropped back down. Feeling even more risky and desperate to get home i decided to drive it 2 miles to get back home. As i drove the gauge almost routinely would dip to zero and the "check gages" light would come on. Then it would go back up to normal for a few seconds and go back down to zero for a few seconds. It continued to do this the entire two miles. You guys have any ideas? Its got about 169,000 miles on it, and i just put a brand new oil pan on it. 5 Answers
