Not all cherokees were fitted with a 2 wheel drive option. You should have two shift sticks in the centre console. Your normal Park, Reverse and Drive selector and a smaller, shorter stick to the left of it.
This shorter stick will show you your drive options.
If you only have the first three listed yours is permanently 4 wheel drive, sometimes called AWD, (All Wheel Drive).
Starting furthest away from the engine, they should read as...
4Lo - Low ratio 4 wheel drive used just for 'off road' driving.
N - Neutral. This disconnects ALL drive to ALL the wheels.
4 FULL TIME - High Ratio 4 wheel drive. Normal road 4
wheel drive.
"Options that might not be fitted".
4 PART TIME - Automatically switches from 2 wheel drive
to 4 wheel drive if the rear wheels start to lose grip.
2WD - Dedicated 2 wheel drive only. Power is sent to the
rear wheels.
A bad u-joint makes a higher frequency sound /vibration than say an unbalanced tire. If you have the v-8, you have all wheel drive and the front driveshaft is always driven. Crawl underneath and wiggle both front and rear driveshafts, if one move significantly more, you've found the culprit. Go ahead and replace all the U-joints at that point.
wild guess. U-joints bad.? (warning, almost all guesses are wrong)
find someone (a mech) with hands to drive it and ears to hear it
and diagnosis.
grab the drive shaft by hand, (parked LOL)
then man handle it. (think mud wrestling)
can you see the joints flex , in a wrong way?
google that or youtube that, and see right and wrong ways.
Have the oil changed and the filter checked . I have a Mitsubishi lancer and it is in good nick but If I apply power before the shift happens it chirps the tyres . have the bands and clutch pack adjusted Run fault codes to check for faulty solenoids and servos.
all gears ok but drive, full power from engine to tires, 1,2,R
right? but not drive. drives acts as Neutral or weak.
did you do the stall test , in drive.
1000 rpm weak, engine
2000 rpm good
over that much is tranny slip.
tranny issues.
read the fsm. then the on car service, section
When you say it loses power, do you mean electrical power or engine power ? You would need to look at the fuse boxes for a loss of electrical power, and use a scanner or code reader to check the computer for trouble codes for a loss of engine power.
Have you checked the trans fluid? Has to be checked with engine running in neutral. If its good you will need to bring it to a transmission shop. Good luckHowie
Just pull up on the 4 wheel drive lever .. You can shift on the fly to part time and full time but you gotta stop and in park or neutral you can shift into 4 wheel lo .. I have one myself .. love those jeeps .. you "understand"
