The Jeep Grand Cherokee is already past due for a full redesign and if Chrysler can hang in their long enough, a new one should debut in time for the 2011 model year. The privately-owned automaker has announced its intention to put $281 million in new tooling into the Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit that produces the Grand Cherokee and Commander. The perenially slow-selling Commander is expected to get the chop as the latest new Chrysler pares down its redundant model lineup. However, that doesn't mean that the Grand Cherokee, the sales of which once supported three production shifts at Jefferson, will be alone. One of the plants that Chrysler previously announced would be shuttered is the Newark Delaware facility that builds the Durango and Aspen. One or both (more likely one) of those models will likely end up using the same platform as the Grand Cherokee and be coming off the Detroit line. When production does start up, a Mercedes Benz diesel (as used today in the Jeep) and a two-mode hybrid (coming to the Durango/Aspen this fall) will likely both be available. The Jeep at least will probably be developed from the start in both right and left hand drive versions for export to other markets, as well.[Source: The Car Connection]

With this kind of vehicle,
With this kind of vehicle, it is best to be sure of its AC Compressor.. and with Mazda AC Compressor, I tell you, you can never go wrong. Just a brief background, AC compressor is a vital part of the AC system. This works hand and hand with the other AC components including the AC compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-dryer or accumulator and the thermal expansion valve in order to achieve a goal that is to cool the vehicle’s interior. These components that make up the complete Mazda AC system are all important, although one of them is considered to be the heart and the core – the AC compressor. The Mazda AC compressor is a mechanical pump that is driven by a belt attached to the engine. This is responsible for pumping the fluid so it would flow in a closed loop through the different parts of the system. Like the human heart that pumps the blood, the Mazda AC compressor pumps the refrigerant that absorbs all the heat accumulated inside the vehicle’s cabin.
