The bad news is that when that noise starts is either 3 things
1. your rod bearing has slipped and is about to break
2. you have a stuck lifter
3. finally you may be just low on oil

SOURCE: 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee running very loud.

does it have the 4.0L motor ? if so open the hood stand off to the side where the exhaust bots to the head and have some one rev it up quick if its coming fron under the hood by the engine the exhaust manifol is cracked. The 4.0L jeeps have had lots of problems with this.

you must replace and lube the front sway bar bushings,chrysler service bulletin calls it a squak, but can sound like a rubbing, a clunk etc the common factor is this is really noticeable the colder it gets outside

SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee makes a loud ticking noise, won't start.

Your problem is likely a bad battery and/or corrosion on the battery terminals. Remove the cables from the battery terminals and clean them with a wire brush or other tool. NOTE: always remove the negative cable first and reconnect it last. Reconnect the cables and then try to start/jump the vehicle again. If that doesn't clear the problem, take the battery to your local auto parts store or supplier and have them check it. You will probably need a new one.

SOURCE: jeep grand cherokee transmission clunk

well then it sounds to me as if you need a transmission replacement...a flush or service at this point won't do you any good, as the transmission is using the contamination in the fluid to build pressure. so if you flush it all away, then the new fluid is way too thin to build any pressure...just replace your transmission....

95 Jeep Grand Cherokee whole front axle rebuild, now in drive from a stop until about 30mph it makes a large clunking noise why?

If every thing was done correctly, then I would put it on a lift and see where the noise was coming from. You may have bad universal joints or other drive line problems.

99 Grand Cherokee. Started with locking or binding with loud clunks. After long drive, rear diff was smoking and was replaced. Just drove it and after shifting into all time 4wd and then back to 2wd did it...

Sounds like a bad transfer case. Generally what you experienced is caused by a tire mis-match but can also happen by itself sometimes. GC's use a fluid coupler that is supposed to engage 4wd when tires begin to slip. (coupler is pretty much the same as the mechanical clutch unit on your fan, only larger) If the coupler fails, symptoms like yours happen.

1999 jeep grand cherokee clunk in driveline under acceleration. Sound like noise coming from left front area.

You don't give much of a description , but from what you describe check the CV joint(s) on the driver and passenger sides and also check the "U" joints on both drive lines.

Wont play tapes, makes clunking sound

Tape? What's a tape? Just kidding. I agree with chryslerpro. Look on ebay for an exact replacement. Consider maybe upgrading to cd's instead. Good Luck
