There is NO WAY I could handle changes. I have an excellent memory for what I am really interested in but crap for what I have to know. I am a poor scholar.

But I do like women  :mrgreen:

++I just set a new personal best! I just refueled my car, I did a 4.27l/100km tank! 1184km on 50.54l, average speed of 67kph. Not bad for studded winter tires from Kumho(Does make the Hankook summer tires look really, really bad for fuel economy though). (still don't like the traction of the Kumhos, or the amount of studs that have fallen out)

Bad news for me.
On Wednesday got a phone call from wifey saying battery light on, loud squeal and bad smell in her Grand Cherokee.
She was just around the corner from me so i got her to bring it to me. Opened the bonnet and bad smell and noise very obvious. Sent her away in my Wrangler.

Anyway long story short, spent 2 long nights testing and swapping the alternator from my Wrangler with no luck. Replaced the alternator this morning with new and no luck. Had to replace it anyway as old one has a dead short internally.

Looking very much like the engine modulùe has been taken out as consequences

That's rough. I hate it when something is so bad the car won't budge.

I'm Sorry to hear that Tim...  :Pout: Won't even stoop to making dodgy comments about jeep reliability...

Guessing you will be able to get it sorted easier and cheaper than most owners...  :Good_luck:
