Overview & Reviews

A 5.9-liter V8 making 245 horsepower and 345 pound-feet torque powers the Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, making it the mightiest of all Jeeps. With the addition of the 5.9, the putrid Orvis model dies. Two new colors and "next-generation" airbags round out the changes.

• Lightweight unibody construction, excellent on and off-road manners, optional V-8, standard ABS, dual airbags, lots of standard equipment

• Spare tire hogs cargo area, engines hog gas, not as roomy inside as some competitors, price climbs rapidly as options are added

  I love my jeep. It has been a great car. No problems until 120,000 miles. Had to replace Transmission at 130,000. Brakes now are replaced every other year. Radiator blew at 155,000 and just lost my steering pump. Would buy another. lost the A/C at 125,000 and still problematic.

  Everything you need - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jerryo12 - January 6 - 8:30 pm

  I bought my Jeep with 41,000 miles and now have 90,000. I have have done no major repairs; only brakes and tires - water pump is getting a slow leak though. Very powerful and fun to drive. I used to update vehicles every 2 years but this one has everything I need so I dont need to upgrade. Luxuries match those in expensive luxury cars! Performs great in snow in mud as well as on road. Very comfortable vehicle as long as only 2 people or 4 short ones.

  1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JStu - July 14 - 2:00 am

  Car has run strong all the way up to its current 98,000 miles, even with aftermarket performance parts whose added power puts more strain on the drivetrain. Car has also been off- roaded a couple times and has had no repurcussions as result. Brakes seem underpowered and no improvement kits are offered in the aftermarket. Only major problems have been that the rear- axle had a serious malfunction at 70,000 miles and had to be replaced. Also, the seat warmers broke after just four years of sparse use. All said a well made and reliable vehicle.

  Best bang for the buck - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By kbohip - May 30 - 10:00 am

  Ive had 2 Grand Cherokee 5.9s. Love them both. Theres no better feeling than effortlessly pulling away from everyone at stoplights while at half throttle. My advice to anyone considering a Grand is to get an extended warranty or at the very least change the tranny and diff. fluids at 25,000 miles.

  Fun to Drive! - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jcooperdj - May 12 - 9:33 pm

  I bought this off a good friend who drove it on the highway alot with 112,00 now 18 months later it has 122,000. Really no repairs have been done and it just started on its 3rd set of tires. Seal between transfer case and tranny replaced. Door speakers are junk I have replaced all 4 but the rest rocks! NOISY on the highway from either tires or differential.

  No Complaints - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mark_NH - March 14 - 10:00 am

  I just wanted to chime in and offer up my experience with my 98 JGC Limited (5.2L, V8). No problems to speak of. Of those issues I had they were parts which normally wear over time (water pump, brakes, viscous coupler). These vehicles are rock solid with reagrd to structure, excellent attention to detail with interior features.

  Good Car! - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Laura Nobles - January 11 - 10:00 am

  I have had minimal problems with my Grand. I have had to replace the water pump which cost me $42. Ive had a few other MINOR repairs. That is excellent considering the car has 98K miles on it! Ive owned is for just under 3 years. This car is very fun to drive, especially in the hills. I live outside of Austin, TX; and it handles great in the hills. I highly recommend this car.
