Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (3rd Generation)

2005–2010 · WK · suv

The WK (2005-2010) is the third-generation Grand Cherokee and the first to ditch the solid front axle in favor of independent front suspension, while keeping a solid rear. It is also the home of the SRT8 trim with the 6.1L HEMI V8, a 420-hp factory hot rod that punched well above its weight. Other engines included the 3.7L V6, the 4.7L V8, the 5.7L HEMI, and a 3.0L Mercedes-sourced CRD diesel in some markets. The WK led directly into the better-known WK2 for 2011.

Watch out: Owner reports of TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) failures on this era of Chrysler product, causing intermittent no-starts, fuel-pump-running-with-key-off, and miscellaneous electrical faults; a TIPM problem can be expensive to chase. The 5.7L HEMI of this era is also affected by the well-documented MDS lifter and camshaft wear issue.
