    The Jeep Grand Cherokee has always utilised a unibody chassis as opposed to other SUVs which often used a body-on-frame construction.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the Jeep Grand Cherokee has consistently used a unibody chassis design, which means that the body and frame of the vehicle are integrated into a single structure. This is different from other SUVs that typically use a body-on-frame construction, where the body is built separately and then attached to a separate frame. The unibody design offers advantages such as improved handling, better fuel efficiency, and a more comfortable ride.

    Is it possible to reliably run a turbocharged engine without an intercooler?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Yes, it is possible to reliably run a turbocharged engine without an intercooler. An intercooler is used to cool down the compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine, which helps increase the density of the air and improves combustion efficiency. However, some small turbocharged engines may not generate as much heat, allowing them to operate without an intercooler. Additionally, certain engine management systems can compensate for the lack of an intercooler by adjusting the fuel and ignition timing. While an intercooler is beneficial for performance and efficiency, it is not always necessary for the reliable operation of a turbocharged engine.
