My Jeep gave no warning, just temp indicator high. Sounds like it is in limp mode - engine overheating or low oil or other reason why you should get to a garage quickly to fix the problem before too much damage is caused.

SOURCE: 1995 honda accord speedometer and odometer not working

Sounds like either your speedometer cable, your nylon gear on the side of the tranny where the cable ties in, or the odometer itself is shot. One of those three will set you straight. If you are able, remove the cluster, take the cable off the back, and pull it out of the sheath. You will see if its broken or not from there. If not, slide it back into the sheath, then you have to find out where the sheath meets the tranny, and pull it off of there. Then, you can get someone else to watch the speedo as you turn the cable from the bottom. If it works, great, if not, then its your cluster/odometer/speedo. If it does work, the small gear in the transmission is shot.

SOURCE: Jeep stalls ata speed with clutch depressed.

Not being there makes this difficult to give you anything useful, however, in reading your post, It makes me think that the clutch has little to do with the problem. Likely, the engine is either not getting enough fuel or is loosing spark. When this happens, the clutch being engaged is keeping the engine turning...when depressed, it allows it to completely stop. I would first check for proper fuel flow and pressure (filter & pump), then check ignition (crank sensor & other related ignition components) The items I've specifically named are the most common ones that fail. You should verify with individual component tests as well as code tests (larger parts houses do testing free) before replacing suspect items or repairs can get very costly even when not using a repair shop.
The tests etc are too involved to write here, but are outlined in vehicle specific manuals made by haynes, chilton etc.
If you need help on specific items, I can help you with that.
good luck!

Lacks power in highway hills

Hi,

I am assuming that you have no issues with the engine whatsoever, then the only possible areas to check would be:
1. axle gear ratio - to my knowledge a Wrangler would be 4.11 while some Cherokees could be anywhere from 3.54-4.88;
2. flywheel - a lighter flywheel could cause the engine to loose easily its momentum hence difficulty on an a rise.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Replace fuel filter on 2008 jeep compass

Fuel pump has loose connections creating an on/off situation, or it has came loose from its mount and is basiclly flopping around in there. Im going to also mention that it will do this when you have 2 gallon or less fuel in your tank.

When I go at about 40miles(speed ) it's a loud the gears don't stick but the higher the speed the louder it get's need to kind of know what to tell a mechanic is to where to start to look.I doesn't

I would suspect it is a wheel bearing issue, if it sounds similar to a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle, stays somewhat same pitch just louder with speed that is where I would look. Does noise go away or change when making turns?

How many miles are left when your gas light goes on with a 1995 jeep grand cherokee?

When the light comes on you typically have 40miles or less before your are completely out of fuel. This may vary however due to driving conditions, fuel gauge accuracy etc.

When I reached a certain speed 65 mi/hr, the speed starts decreasing to 30 mi/hr while driving on a highway even the accelerator is to the floor.

The sounds like one of two things, a clooged cat converter or the fuelpump is loose preasure, you will need to test the fuel preasure at the time of the power loss,
