GRANDS still have that POS torqueflite derivitive tranny in them(unless you can luck out and find an EARLY built 93 GRAND with an AW4), and is the sole reason I wouldn't own one. STarting in 99 you could get the 4.7L V8 though that used a pretty good trans, the 45RFE(later became known as the 545RFE when they added an extra OD, and a software update is available to add 5th to the earlier models).

Yep. Agree on the fuel injection ... reason I mentioned it is my neighbor has a Jeep Wrangler with the 4.0 and a carb, and every winter you can hear him grinding the starter trying to get the thing to start. Once it's started it's great, but it's a bear to coax when it's really cold. Mine, on the other hand, I put the key in and it starts in seconds. I love it.

As to the tranny comments, I know they have had some bad reps , but honestly, I've never had ANY trouble with my auto trans, transfer case, drivelines or differentials. I'll still say that as long as that Cherokee in that link I put up has a clean record I'd seriously consider buying it. That one looks like a winner..
