Quite often.

We are fortunate to live near Navajo Lake State Park in Northwest New Mexico, so we can get a yearly camping pass and with it we can put our trailer out there, about 20 miles away,...

I agree. Since the original, and all the replacements, have blown in the last 7 weeks or so, and in an identical way, I believe something has "gone wrong" in the system.

What's puzzling is there...

I do agree Mopar can be pretty reliable. In fact, I went back to Nevada to get our travel trailer with our 1999 Dodge half ton that has 100,000 more miles on it than the Grand Cherokee, and I wasn't...

I'm pretty certain towing the trailer has something to do with with the failures, but they shouldn't. We are well within the towing capacity Chrysler says we should be. And given the Grand...

One thing I forgot to mention is that the Grand Cherokee for 2004 does have a separate power steering cooler in the grille, ahead of the radiator.

Also, the several replacement pumps have "blown"...

Howdy!

I've considered the vehicle not being "up to the task". However, it was "up to the task" for a year before this problem started, and lots of people tow with Grand Cherokees with hydraulic...

Re: MOPAR pump. New pumps have been discontinued by Chrysler, but they do offer rebuilt pumps. It's possible a MOPAR rebuilt could be better than aftermarket, so that...

Jeep Grand Cherokee blows power steering pumps when towing.

I've posted this on a couple dedicated Jeep Grand Cherokee forums, and have covered the issue with three Jeep dealer service departments, as well as dozens of other people.

Haven't found an answer...

Interesting.

When I worked for U-Haul 20-plus years ago, we were trained to twist the trailer safety chains to keep them from dragging on the ground.

I've heard good things about Costco. An RV'ing buddy of mine buys his Interstate batteries there. Unfortunately, we don't have one in our town. We have Sam's Club, but no Costco.

I would tend to agree if I knew it was going to be there a long time, except it was the dealership that took a one week job and turned it into a 5-6 week job, day by day and week by week. I never...

No satellite, but still had TV with no TV signal!

Here's something that was kind of cool during our boondocking trip in February.

Sorry to hear about your car accident! Obviously, from your comment, you must have gotten banged up a bit.

Everyone else OK?
