with dash removed disconnect heater hoses at firewall,drain refrigerant from ac then disconect ac hoses at firewall. there is 4 or 5 studs and nuts on the fire wall that hold ac box in place remove them then the support screws from inside remove entire hvac. case then remove top of case and replace heater core. Iwould be tempted to change evaporater at the same time.

Question by bldeagle10: anyone know of any good jeep forums? jeep misfiring problem!?
so in 99 my step mom bought a 99 cherokee. 4.0 inline 6. 11 years and 304500 miles later she is selling it to me . there is alot to do but over all it is so so very clean. i want to sign up for a few jeep forums for any future questions i have. right now the main problem is there is a constant misfire. when you pop the hood the injector closest to you CONSTANTLY gets clogged up. i have replaced it many many times and had them cleaned professionally as well as bottles of injector cleaner all the time. but it always seems to clog up again.

the only way to prevent this is to drive it very very carefully. dont give it to much throttle. well. when driving up hilly roads or towing that isn’t possible…i think it could be a combination of a few things. it has 304500 miles on it. i think i may need to drop the fuel tank and clean it out. as well as i want to put an in the line fuel filter cause it has the in the tank one on the pump. and obviously its not doing its job to well…as well i want to replace the fuel rail and all the injectors. any one have any ideas as to what is the main issue here? its a very strong motor except this one problem.

thanks.
cole

Jeep Commander is a product from the Jeep firm. Not to be outdone by its competitors, the Commander was released at the New York Vehicle Show. The year was 2005. The Commander steals the limelight from the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Fans and customers of Jeep vehicles had been complaining about the lack of a new SUV vehicle from Jeep. On its debut, the Commander looked different from the Grand Cherokee in distinct ways. First, the design style breaks away from the traditional style. Secondly, although the Commander is roughly the same size as the Grand Cherokee, it has more space and capacity than the Grand Cherokee.

Jeep is working hard to please its consumers. Todays car buyers have a lot of choice. There are a lot of competitors in seven-seat vehicles. Performance and looks are more important. It pays very well to fuse these two qualities. Especially on seven-seat vehicles. On the overall, customers will not be disappointed in the Jeep Commander. Coincidentally; the name ‘Commander’ is common among seven-seat car manufacturers. Maybe it sells.

Jeep is excited with its Jeep Commander vehicle. It remains to be seen how the Commander will perform against other SUVs. The Commander is also expected to perform better than its past models. The improvement in passenger space makes it unique. If this improvement translates into increased sales, Jeep will fulfil its mission. The Commander shares its name with two past models, the Studebaker Commander and the Scammell Commander.

When a Jeep Commander approaches around a corner, it attracts attention. Its boxy appearance is fascinating. One will think of the Commander as a military vehicle. The most interesting part of the Commander is its roof. The engineers designed the roof in a way which allows more head space at the rear. This feat is not easy to accomplish. Most SUV designers will avoid this at all costs because it gives the vehicle a cumbersome look. Jeep managed to overcome this problem by covering the roof grids and reducing the sharpness of corners.

Jeep is looking towards the future. The unveiling of the Jeep Commander is a turning point between the past and the future. The Commander represents the present. It is a working model on how future models should be designed. The engineers of the Commander used the eternal appearance of the old Jeep Wagoner and the performance requirements of the Grand Cherokee to produce a new model. The Commander has characteristics of these two vehicles. However; the Commander has its own unique features which dominate the entire vehicle.

We haven’t started discussing the Jeep Commander, until we talk about engine power. The Commander comes with three choices of engines. These are the V6 and two types of V8 engines. The first V8 engine has a capacity of 5. 7 liters. The second V8 engine has a capacity of 3. 7 liters. This engine package is convenient for different types of consumers. Types of drivers ranging from speed maniacs, rough terrain travellers and luggage packers will find it easy to select the proper engine. A note to speed lovers, the Commander is not made for speed though.

The Jeep Commander is a medium sized vehicle that satisfies the needs of SUVdrivers. Drivers of small SUVs are frustrated by the limited carrying capacity and large fuel consumption of small SUVs. Drivers of large SUVs are frustrated by the truck-like behaviour and large fuel consumption of large SUVs. Big SUVs don’t behave like ordinary petrol vehicles. They can be noisy and are not capable of smooth driving.

The Jeep Commander has not broken a record. The critics say. True, there is no new feature on the Commander, but it has succeeded in bringing affordability, economy, style and comfort on one plate. There is a market for this kind of vehicle, especially in this recession. A lot of SUVs on the market do not provide this convenience. The Commander came late on the scene. Jeep explains that the delay was due to specific refinements. Refinements on capacity and passenger seating. Sure, its hard to provide comfort on a seven passenger seat vehicle, but Jeep succeeded in this regard.

Spectators are waiting for the release of the next Commander. Jeep will be anxious to add new features to keep ahead of its competitors. The Jeep Commander 2007 model sports cool features in the form of platinum accents. This model is the Jeep Commander Overland. The Commander Overland looks like the Grand Cherokee. Platinum additions are visible on the side moulds; side roof railings, grilles and rear assist handling. Jeep also plans to introduce power lift gates for its Commander model. The Jeep Commander is one of the top vehicles searched by consumers on the internet.

Annual sales of the Jeep Commander have not been impressive. Jeep recorded a poor performance on its Commander model in February 2007. The Commander sales went down by 24%. However, the Commander was not the worst loser. The biggest loser was the Jeep Liberty which registered a 41% decline in sales. Slightly below the Commander is the Jeep Cherokee which declined by 22%. The Jeep brand had some face savers though. The Jeep Wrangler was the biggest winner with 63% increase in sales. Another winner, the Jeep Compass which made its debut in 2006 sold a promising 4, 071 units.

Jeep is an all-purpose vehicle that is capable of traversing rough terrain. The first jeep prototype was designed by the Department of Army for purposes of carrying personnel and supplies.

Later on, Ford and Willys-Overland produced two more jeep prototypes. In the end, Ford and Willy’s-Overland manufactured the first mass production of jeeps.

The origin of the word jeep is not clear, however people believe that the word came from phonetically slurred pronunciation of “GP” or vehicle for general purpose.

Some people also think that the name for this multi purpose vehicle came from a character in Thimble Theater comic strip Popeye, the character is known as Eugene the Jeep. Eugene the Jeep is a character that could walk through walls and ceilings, climb trees, fly and just go anywhere it wanted.

Early Americans believe that soldiers were so impressed with the versatility of the jeep that they named their prototype from the comic character.

After the production of the first jeep prototype and the second set of jeep prototypes from Ford and Willys-Overland, Willys-Overland Motor Company was designated to produce the first mass production of jeeps in Toledo, Ohio.

However, because of the huge quantity requirement of the United States Government, Ford Motor Company complimented Willys-Overland to help complete the requirements.

In combination, the production of Willys-Overland and Ford reached about 600,000 units of this high mobility multipurpose-wheeled vehicle, which some call hum-vee.

The jeep is widely copied by other countries such as in France and The Netherlands. The french version of the jeep is designed by Hotchkiss and in The Netherlands, Nekaf is the manufacturer of their jeep.

Other versions of the jeep are the railway jeep and the amphibious jeep, which are more useful than any other vehicle of its size.

Part of the war effort brought jeeps to the Red Army during the World War II.

Today, the trademark holder of Jeep is DaimlerChrysler. DaimlerChrysler is the successor of the company Willys-Overland. Jeep aficionados are believed to recognize the distinction of the seven bar grille design of jeep as popular as Mickey Mouse.

DaimlerChrysler also believes that the jeep brand is famous worldwide, second only to the Coke brand. This can be true for those who are lovers of this versatile vehicle.

It is true that jeeps are multipurpose and known worldwide; as in fact, there are also producers of the jeep brand in Beijing, China. This manufacturer did this coming from the joint venture between Beijing Jeep Corporation Ltd., and DaimlerChrysler Corporation located in China.

In addition, other jeep vehicles have different model designation. Some of them are civilian jeep that carries the “xJ” designation although not all are well-known as the classic CJ or Civilian Jeep.

Historical models of the jeep:

Jeep CJ – Civilian Jeep similar to the original Willys’ Jeep
Jeep Gladiator and Jeep Honcho – Full-sized pickup truck
Jeep Cherokee – The original SUV
Jeep Dispatcher – A postal truck for the USPS
Jeep Jeepster – Passenger truck
Jeep Forward Control – Light truck
Jeep Wagoner – SUV

Current Jeep models

Jeep Wrangler – small successor of the Jeep CJ (TJ in Canada)
Jeep Grand Cherokee – large family-oriented SUV
Jeep Liberty – Small SUV (called Cherokee outside of North America)
Jeep Commander – Newest model in the Jeep line, it is a seven passenger SUV

Jeep is a multi-purpose vehicle, which you can use even on rough terrain. It is very helpful to have one especially for those who are using their vehicle for their business.
