Grandpa drove it hot and the engine locked up. Someone told me they have a hydrolock safety that shuts it down before the engine gets damages. How do I know if it's hydrolocked and how do I unlock it if it is???
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Whomever told you about this so called safety feature was mistaken unfortunately.
More likely engine seizure is due to internal damage.
Good luck with it!
