This is from a 2003 WJ Grand Cherokee Overland 2.7crd for sale. I thought all WJ Overland's were Quadra Drive, mine was.
This looks the same as my old Quadra drive system gearlever arrangement (the pics of Quadra trac look different on the internet) yet it says Quada trac.

What gives ? confused

I'm no expert but "The Quadra-Drive system was introduced in 1999 and is based on the Quadra-Trac II system but adds limited slip differentials to the front and rear axles to create a four-wheel drive system capable of not only directing torque to the axle with best traction but to the individual wheel on an axle with best traction."

I had an Overland, though a V8 one, and yes, they should have gerotor limited slip diffs both ends.

However, I think the "quadradrive" badge on the shifter bezel was just stuck over the standard quadratrac one?



If you want to be sure, and don't mind looking under it, there should be stamped metal tags attached to one diff cover bolt that tell you what spec diff is in it.

Thanks for the reply's.
I finally decided not to look at this one, it was a 2 hour drive to view and the dealer said the service history and all owners books were lost.
No proof of engine/diff oil changes on time and I'm out redcard
