i am at a loss to get ride of this rumble/vibration i get at 70+ mph i get on the freeway...i feel it in the stearing wheel ,gas pedal, the seats its not a massive vibration but you definitely feel it and hear it and it is not normal..the jeep runs smooth as a cadillac ride until i hit about 70 mph and it stops if i slow down or let off the throttle but starts right back up soon as i hit the accelerator again and gets worse the faster you go...
i tried to see if you can accelerate past it but it just gets worse and worse up to 90 mph and i backed off afraid something would break.
i really need to figure this out its my 1st jeep and i love it except for this problem.. it is all OEM i have done no modification to it other than put a cool air intake air filter on it to improve gas mileage

Door locks
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic with 64400 miles on it, bought it new. Two days ago while grocery shopping, I clicked the lock button and nothing happened. Tried several time with no success, gave up and just used the key. On the way home the doors kept locking and unlocking all by themselves. Yesterday they locked okay but then on the way home again it was deja vu. What could be making this happen?

Note that the K&N/Mobil1 are the same filters, same as NAPA Gold/WIX. Same brands are also great for OEM sizing.

Generally yeah, up here the Mobil1 unit is 2-3 dollars less. The K&N is literally a rebranded Mobil1 with a nut welded on the end.

i have a 2003 grand cherokee limited V-8 and i have these highway speed vibration issues i have tried almost everything i can think of ...brand new tires...replaced the steering dampner/stabilizer...all brand new sway bars on the front ....brand new traction bar....and yesterday spent 160 bucks and replaced every u-joint on the vehicle including the knuckle ball on the rear of the front drive shaft that i was told wears as fast as the ujoints themselves do..
i am at a loss to get ride of this rumble/vibration i get at 70+ mph i get on the freeway...i feel it in the stearing wheel ,gas pedal, the seats its not a massive vibration but you definitely feel it and hear it and it is not normal..the jeep runs smooth as a cadillac ride until i hit about 70 mph and it stops if i slow down or let off the throttle but starts right back up soon as i hit the accelerator again and gets worse the faster you go...
