We cover the Grand Cherokee across the WK, WK2 and WL generations. Engines include 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, 5.7- and 6.4-liter HEMI V8, the supercharged 6.2-liter Trackhawk, the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel, the 4xe plug-in hybrid and the 3.0-liter Hurricane.


Model year 2005 is part of the Grand Cherokee WK generation (2005–2010). It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2005 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “5”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 21 years old, a 2005 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
