View Full Version : My 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.9L 360ci V8

So I've had 7 prior Jeeps: YJ, XJ, YJ, XJ, TJ, ZJ, ZJ in that order. For those that don't know, that's: Wrangler, Cherokee, Wrangler, Cherokee, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee. Got it?
I sold my last ZJ on Saturday and was going to pick this thing up that day as well, but the notary was closed. So, my buddy gave me a ride out to Waynesboro, PA today (Out past Gettysburg) to pick up the Jeep.
Here's a crappy cell phone photo I took after the title transfer:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-w2BjstV/0/XL/i-w2BjstV-XL.jpg
I'll take some real shots shortly.
It has a 5.9L, 360ci V8 which produces 245hp at 4000 RPM and 345 lb. ft. of torque at 3200 RPM (Underrated). This Jeep, at the time of production, was the fastest SUV in the world. They only made these in 1998. They made less than 14,286 total, with around 12,000 being the federal emissions ones and the rest being California.
Weight: 5000 lbs
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 7.1 sec.
1/4 mile time: 15.2
Braking Distance: 135 ft.
Road Holding Index: .75 g
Drive: Full Time 4WD
With minor mods these trucks can get into the low 14's and high 13's.
Some photos from today (12/2/12) at Ringing Rock Park:

Don't know how they were the fastest SUV in the world when the GMC Typhoon put down better numbers in 1992, but still a nice grab

FWIW: Motor Trend stated that the 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9L was the fastest PRODUCTION SUV in 1998. They said the Cyclone/Typhone's were fastest PRODUCTION SUV/Trucks when they were built.

best year by far simply for the 360, they are pretty rare. Being that a few were wrecked, and i saw a few bite the dust during that cash for clunkers business.

Definitely the most fun Jeep I've driven. My buddy has a 6.1L SRT8 Grand Cherokee which runs 10's. Have not driven it but obviously that's a ton faster than this is.

Okay, so I ended up doing a headlight retrofit project, just like with my past Jeeps. I ordered a Stage III Morimoto MH1 Projector conversion kit from The Retrofit Source. 4300K in color since I like factory white light and the highest lumens as well. All photos are with my POS cell phone, so I apologize for the lacking quality.
At lunch yesterday:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-4FSp5MD/1/XL/i-4FSp5MD-XL.jpg
I'm slightly pissed as I got some melted glue from the lens/housing on the chrome portion of the housing. But, whatever, this is my beater anyway so I'm not too concerned:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-B8qkNCk/0/XL/i-B8qkNCk-XL.jpg
After 4 hours of work today I am finally finished. I JB welded the spring clips higher as recommended:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-MhnbcB5/0/XL/i-MhnbcB5-XL.jpg
Also somewhat hard to see here but the wires for the solenoid were easily visible. With the need/want to finish this project TODAY, I decided to take extreme measures lol... tinfoil wrapped around the wires so it blends a bit nicer:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-g54Kg8S/0/XL/i-g54Kg8S-XL.jpg
Final product while the RTV was drying:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-nbc37gX/0/XL/i-nbc37gX-XL.jpg
Ran the wiring harness, got the ballasts hooked up:

And here they are installed:

I'll grab some DSLR shots later, as well as output and cutoff shots. I'm incredibly happy with this setup and want to thank The Retrofit Source and specifically Nate for sending me the parts

eww those headlamps
and as for the Typhoon so I dont know how they say the jeep was fastest when it clearly wasn't when this was early 90's
280hp @4400
360ft lbs @3600
0-60 in 5.3 seconds
1/4 mile 14.1 @95mph

Like I said earlier: "FWIW: Motor Trend stated that the 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9L was the fastest PRODUCTION SUV in 1998. They said the Cyclone/Typhone's were fastest PRODUCTION SUV/Trucks when they were built." So Motor Trend was referring to them as different categories I guess? I dunno, I'm just going off their quote lol.

Thanks man!
The projectors, shrouds and HID kit (Ballasts, bulbs, relay harness, etc.) are $300 retail shipped. The housings are $65 shipped. It took me 4 hours of work from start to finish, but I've done several prior retros which definitely makes things far, far easier.
If I had the room I'd definitely make you a set. I'll let ya know if I get around to it.

Performance > aesthetics, this counts for headlights as well.

That's a mint looking 5.9. My dad would love that, we had a 96 Zj with the 4.0 loved that jeep, bought it with 15k sold it with 200k on the same motor, trans, and t-case never rebuilt. A friend I had in high school, his dad has a 5.9 that he goes off roading with all the time. Maybe when I finish my Tj project I should go explore PA never been off roading there. Good luck with it, looks like it will be fun.

Thanks - it needs some paint and minor body work but it's a beater so I am not concerned. If you head out here to PA check out Rausch Creek Off-road Park. Best place in Eastern PA to wheel at the moment. Reading Anthracite also sells yearly permits for wheeling. Pretty cool.
Video I just took at lunch here at work. Daylight, so it's easier to see the setup:

How's the gas mileage on that bish
How do you think it is? haha... When not beating on it it's around 14.5 average. When beating on it, it's 12.5 average. Just changed out the rear axle fluid.
I went to my buddies shop today and borrowed one of his lifts. Had to change the rear diff. fluid from the OE Mopar stuff in there (Since Day 1 it seems) to some Royal Purple Max Gear 75w140:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-SnR9wZX/0/XL/i-SnR9wZX-XL.jpg
I drained the D44a diff fluid:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-tLDWmCS/0/XL/i-tLDWmCS-XL.jpg
Inside looks clean. No bad wear marks or anything:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-8PhW6d3/0/XL/i-8PhW6d3-XL.jpg
I used some RTV to make a new seal, put the cover back on, and torqued it all down. Drove home and the clunking (Issue I've had since I got the Jeep) is GONE! The Jeep even drives better. It feels like it's on ice (in a good way). Less rolling resistance I guess you can say. Can't wait to do the front now too.

I forget, do you wheel it? If not you can go tens of thousands of miles on the same diff fluid. I think this is the original stuff, at 138k miles! 50,000-100,000 miles is common, depending on the fluid type and usage of the truck. I only change mine if I get stuck in deep water and one of the vents isn't high enough, or just to be safe after.

Here are some shots I took this week. Pardon the slightly blurry shots. I had to hand-hold all these as I left my tripod at home. I used my Nikon D2x. For the night shots I used my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC lens. For the day shots I used my Nikkor 70-300 VR II lens.

Nah I don't really wheel it ever. Id like to someday. I still have to upgrade my rear bushings to prothane like I already did the front. I'm also getting new tires soon so I'll be able to do pretty good.
My transfer case fluid def needs to be changed if anything but that's pretty simple

Got it. Yah I'd check the fluids for color and level. If they seem "eh", then get in there and change 'em. That reminds me, I need to do all my LCA & UCA bushings. PITA lol.

Thanks man! I can build you a set if you really want me to.
Off the top of my head...
-$300 shipped - Stage III kit (MH1 v5.0 projectors, shrouds, hardware, HID kit in whichever color temp you want, ballasts, etc.)
-$66 shipped - eBay housings
Labor is around 3-4 hours. Not sure what to charge for that.

Yeah the front bushings were no fun. Worst being the one on pumpkin. Other than that we just heated the crap out of them and ran a drill bit around the outside till it fell out lol.
Rear should be easier since its only 2 lcas, 2 ucas, and swaybar bushings
Also, totally worth it for the hid retrofit! I'm runnin the first version and its incredible. Can't imagine what the others look like in person

Yah, heat and a BFH is your friend when owning a Jeep! hahaha. I own a few.
I LOVE being able to see. This is the best retro yet. If you want me to do a new version for you, lemme know. I figure the more I do it the better I'll get at doing them. Not to mention better quality and better looking kits.

PAFirefighter11
03-24-2013, 03:47 PM
Not much for the motor. I'm not planning to make it "fast". It's a Jeep :)
So for those who have not yet seen it, I sank my ZJ in the NJ Pine Barrens several weeks ago:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/Off-roading/Wheeling-NJ-Pines-2-17-13-ZJ/i-KKbfwp6/0/XL/BCM_7378-XL.jpg
After running 6 gallons, 2 quarts worth of Mopar and crappy brand ATF, the trans finally gave in. R, N, D, 2, 1 all became Neutral. Fail! So, I had to source a new trans. My buddy was heading up to Connecticut on Friday to pick up parts from his 5.9L ZJ from a 5.9L that had sustained a rear end collision. Mileage is the same as mine. I e-mailed the guy and worked out a deal for his trans. He said it worked great. My buddy picked it up, and I had it on Friday night.
Yesterday (Saturday) I got the Jeep towed to my other buddy's shop:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-6w8PzHr/0/XL/i-6w8PzHr-XL.jpg
At 4:30pm, the transmission swap fun began:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/Automotive/1998-59L-Grand-Cherokee/i-zPzC2XX/0/L/IMAG0219-L.jpg
Removal of driveshafts was first, then the crossmember, and out came the t-case:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/Automotive/1998-59L-Grand-Cherokee/i-qKG8M2Q/0/L/IMAG0220-L.jpg
After some bellhousing bolts, removal of electrical connections, hard lines, vent tubes, etc., out came the trans:

http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-f4fb5hg/0/XL/i-f4fb5hg-XL.jpg
Both of the transmissions side by side. My failed trans is the non-rusted, cleaner looking one. Oh well:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-g6q8rTL/0/XL/i-g6q8rTL-XL.jpg
On to the important stuff to make sure the trans isn't swamped again. Test fitting tube:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-sHLj9qF/0/XL/i-sHLj9qF-XL.jpg

Everything back in, torqued down:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-jXzfbgb/0/XL/i-jXzfbgb-XL.jpg
By the time 11:15pm rolled around we just finished up the new vent tubes - t-case vent extended & new vent tube for the trans - both up in the engine compartment now:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/photos/i-H7Nzvzx/0/XL/i-H7Nzvzx-XL.jpg
Everything seems great at this point. Trans shifts a bit stronger and a bit higher. Feel like a trans shift kit or something possibly? Either way, works great! Can't wait to get this thing back on the trails. 3" lift and 31" Mickey Thompson's may be in the near future.

So yesterday my buddy Facebooked me asking if I wanted to install a lift on my ZJ. This is his MJ btw:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/Work-Related/Quadratec-Cars-and-Coffee/i-hB5pj4H/0/XL/BCM_8586-XL.jpg
We verified 1" lift would be fine, so that was the plan. I went over to his garage and we started work on the lift:

http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/Automotive/5-9-ZJ-Lift/i-4gVKFrr/0/XL/IMAG0939-XL.jpg
Stock front springs, "new" springs - the larger springs went up front and were from his old XJ. We took the stock front springs and used them in the rear with a 2" Teraflex coil spacer:

Rear finished:
http://pafirefighter11.smugmug.com/Automotive/5-9-ZJ-Lift/i-QTT7PSk/0/XL/IMAG0942-XL.jpg
Lift kit finished (New tires on the way this week, need new shocks and rear adjustable track bar as well). What was supposed to be a 1" lift and only an hour or two of work, ended up as a 4.5" lift and 10 hours of work:

I like these jeeps, I had a 98 with the inline 6. I did not have it very long because I traded it away for a TJ but there is a pretty big aftermarket following them for off road mods, I wanted to do a chop top on mine (it is where you cut off the back section of the cab do a little reinforcing work and hinge the bottom half of the lift gate backward and essentially turn the trunk area of the jeep into a small useless pickup truck bed)
Mine held up well for me but the owner after me had some issues with it. none the less it was a great truck. Keep up the good work and you'll have a fun project there.

This looks great. I love those headlights, i still want a set.
My buddy just lifted his ZJ, then he bent the control arm bracket so far the wheel is an inch from the fender.

That sucks about your buddy. Should've had an adjustable front track bar and a rear track bar relocation bracket!
Here are some photos I took today:
