Expert Answers about Jeep Cherokee


  • Rating of Inline Diode on Demco DM66VR Towed Vehicle Charge Line Kit
  • I spoke with my contacts in the tech services department at Demco, and was told that the inline diode used on the # DM66VR charge line kit has the same rating as the inline fuse, which is 10 amps. The diode acts as a check valve which only allows 12V power to travel from the motorhome to the towed vehicle, and will prevent backfeeding.

  • Does 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ Tow Package Need Adapter For Economical Brake Controller
  • Yes, you will still need an adapter to install an aftermarket brake controller in your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I do assume has the factory tow package. An OEM wiring adapter won't be universal, just for OEM brake controllers, so you'll need the adapter for the aftermarket controller. For a '21 Grand Cherokee with the factory tow package, the most budget-friendly option for a brake controller is from Tekonsha: - Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller # TK63VR - Custom Wiring...

  • Is the Mopar Recreational Flat Tow Wiring Kit Needed to Stop Wobble on a 2021 Cherokee?
  • From what I could find out, the Mopar Recreational Flat Tow Wiring Kit will not be needed for a 2020 or 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. This was only a requirement on a 2014 to 2018 as the issue this was designed to combat has since been rectified. If you have not completed your flat tow set up as of yet, the following will be some recommendations to get you on the road. One of the huge pluses with having a Jeep is they are one of the most common vehicles to flat tow. With that being said,...

  • Adapting Roadmaster Blackhawk Tow Bar to Blue Ox Base Plates for Flat Towing 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  • I'm not certain which adapter you used, but the # RM-031 adapter would install at the end of the tow bar arms and allow you to attach to the Blue Ox base plate on your Jeep Cherokee. To complete your towing system, you'll need safety cables like # RM-643, a wiring harness like part # RM-154, a wiring umbilical like part # RM-164-7 and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot 3 # BLU37TR. The Patriot 3 is a portable unit that will take only moments to install and remove. When...

  • Combining Brake and Turn Signals on 2001 Jeep Cherokee
  • From what it sounds like you are trying to take your 2001 Jeep Cherokee's separate brake and turn signals and combine them into one. If that's accurate, what will need instead of the diodes is a 3-to-2 converter, the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732. I have added a link to a video review and manual for you to check out of this part.

  • Can I Use A Pressure Bleeder With The Dexter EOH Actuator K71-651
  • The Dexter EOH actuator # K71-651 can absolutely be used with a pressure bleeder. The actuator has a standard brake bleeder nipple on the revivor which you can attach the hose of a power bleeder to for faster bleeding. We do not carry the YSTOOL brand, so I cannot say for sure if their kit will be compatible. We do have the hand pump bleeder # PTW87030 that will be compatible with the fitting on the Dexter EOH actuator.

  • What will be Needed to Setup a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude to Tow a Boat and Trailer
  • Before deciding on which trailer hitch and other towing equipment you will be needing to tow a boat, an understanding the towing capacity and tongue weight capacity of your vehicle will be needed. The attached picture is from the 2014 Jeep Cherokee owner's manual and lists the maximum trailer weight ratings for all the Cherokee drivetrain options for the 2014 year. If your boat and trailer combo falls under the max weight rating for your specific Cherokee, then you will be able to tow...

  • Towing Capacity and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Jeep Cherokee
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2014 Jeep Cherokee and it does state on page 535 of the online version that for a 3.2L engine with the trailer tow package the maximum gross trailer weight is 4,500 lbs and tongue weight is 450 lbs. This is just the maximum weight of the trailer and what its tongue weight can be. So for trailer capacity it can be a maximum of 4,500 lbs but tongue weight does not figure into that - tongue weight is separate and is the downward force placed on the...

  • What Should the Weight Distribution be on a 5 x 8 Trailer?
  • When towing your 5x8 trailer, make sure your tongue weight does not exceed 15 percent, and try to ensure your cargo is evenly distributed throughout the trailer while maintaining this tongue weight. It is more important to keep the tongue weight within 10 to 15 percent assuming you aren't overloading your axle. An improper tongue weight is going to put too much strain on the rear axle of your Jeep, which could lessen your ability to steer and brake, have a negative impact on traction and...

  • Tire Balancing Options For Westlake ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Silver Mod Wheel LHAW165
  • The Westlake ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Silver Mod Wheel # LHAW165 does not come balanced from the manufacturer. First trailer tires do not require balancing as their main purpose is supporting weight and they do not have steering components that need the tires balanced. Secondly I have seen tire weights fall off of wheel and tires that are shipped due to the conditions they often encounter. You can take the wheel and tire to a tire shop to have them balanced or we also have...

  • Mounting Orientation of the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs up to 34'
  • You can install the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs, # UF48-979012 the way you describe but yes that would change the stress as you identified. If too much or not, depends on the abuse you apply. These are intended to accept the abuse that would otherwise be on your trailer and then replaced if need be. I suggest you consider welding in the orientation you describe but also welding a block along side to minimize the span.

  • Carrying Single Bike on Swagman S64678 Current Bike Rack
  • If you're carrying a single bike, it's recommended that it be carried closest to the rear of the vehicle, which is also where you'd want to place the heaviest bike when you're carrying two bikes. If need be, you can always swap the position of the hooks in order to make your step through framed bike fit better. I've linked you to a product demonstration video featuring the Swagman # S64678 Current bike rack.
