I did the same a little over a year ago, its a bit of a money pit, much like any jeep there is always another thing I'd like to upgrade. if you are like me, join row52 for notifications when a commander hits a local pick and pull so you can start accumulating replacement parts. that and rockauto are your best friends

cooling the engine is the main thing, make sure your hoses and belts are all good. stick with mopar parts, difficult to explain but there is so much crap parts out there that fail and create bigger issues. the 4.7 is a decent motor, not monster but the way these are geared she will do just fine.

here is mine's story Auction Commander

it was a third party "viper" system with a tracking gps that I had no info on, probably installed by a buy here pay here type lot along the way
