My GF has a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4wd v6 (moutful isn't it?) It has 30k miles on it. It is awfully slow, and after riding in my car for quite some time, she wants to do something to make it less slow. She is looking to spend around $600. Any ideas? Know anywhere I can look? Thanks.

isn't that a straight 6?

Oh and do what you would to any other car...

get an intake exhaust and chip (if they make one and especially if it's an auto)...

Oh and lighter wheels with better street tires...

and change out all the fluids for synthetics... ESPECIALLY the rear/front ends...

I'd check into some sort of shift kit for it... chrysler tranny's eat dirt... they might make a shift kit that'd make it respond a LOT better...

6cyl Jeeps had a 4.0L straight six in 1998. As far as I know only the Liberty has a V6. Check out the grand cherokee forum at jeepsunlimited.com for info. There are several people there with V8 ZJs (grand cherokees) in the 10-12 second range.
