Hey Scotty, why don't you mention the year of the vehicles you review?

@shanepotter4635 11 месяцев назад

I'm never going to understand people buying new vehicles for 70-100k+. People say 'i need something reliable' or 'I want a warranty' like dude you can afford like 10 new engines an 5 transmissions if you buy a used vehicle and you'll still save money vs buying a 70k+ vehicle.

@nuthinbutlove 11 месяцев назад

@@shanepotter4635 not to mention how much depreciation the vehicles suffer as soon as you drive it off the lot. I've always been under the impression that most people who spend that kind of money on vehicles are able to use them as tax write-offs so in the long-run they basically get luxury for the price of an average car. That and they'll often trade them in every year or two so they don't care about spending money on repairs because basic repairs are covered for however long they own it. Example: A former dentist of mine had a Lexus SUV with the Delorean style rear doors. At the time the government was offering crazy incentives to EV purchasers. He told me between the special incentives from the government and the fact that he registered it as a business vehicle so he got steep tax write-offs he only paid a few thousand a year in total... That's it!

Still have the wife's 93XJ with the 4.0 and 4x4. What a fantastic Jeep. We have been everywhere in the mid-west. We live in the middle of the desert. That jeep is a tank. It needs new wiring though because last year a mouse family ate the wiring harness and 2 spark plug wires during the winter months. Besides that, never an issue. I adore that little fantastic vehicle. It has literally saved our lives during a small accident. We were attempting to turn off an onramp. Some jack-wagon with a trailer was tailgating us and not paying attention until the last moment. He swerved around us a nearly side-swiped us. The metal mirrors protected us by guiding his truck and his trailer around the cab. gouged the entire side of his truck and his trailer. No major damage to the jeep except the mirror had a bunch of paint and a small dent in the front right fender. The other guy's truck was FUBAR. I drove away. I refuse to sell that Jeep. It has earned its place in the family...

Unfortunately people are charging ridiculous prices for XJs now.

@anthonyhfe6450 11 месяцев назад

I didn't watch the whole vid but I bought a brand new '91 Cherokee Laredo back in '91. I ordered her exactly the way I wanted her. Black, two door, no power locks, no power windows, full time transfer case and Aisin 4 speed auto. We had a 26 year 226,000 Mile relationship before I sold my baby. The 4.0 liter never hiccupped. It was solid. The whole drivetrain still functioned with no issues when I sold it. Started on the dime every time on original Fuel injectors too (think they were Bosch, but not sure). Engine-wise I just replaced the plugs and a few water pumps over its lifetime, and distributor cap and rotor. Mine was the distributor version. It was a sad day when they stopped making that straight 6, 4.0L high output engine !!😢😢😢😢

@southwestvajeeper5106 11 месяцев назад

Dad had a 4.7 V8 WJ with miles when we sold it. That thing was enjoyable to drive and despite being so high mileage was actually pretty reliable. The 4.7 will generally get the same or better MPG than the 4.0 because it has a five speed transmission. That transmission (the 545RFE) is actually a world more reliable than the transmission that comes behind the 4.0. 16-17 MPG average with the 4.7 PowerTech V8...using a calculator, not the overhead console readout. Just bought a project WJ with the V8 last month that I'm planning to fix up and use for work. You can get them dirt cheap and fix them dirt cheap (especially if you're a mechanic like me) and they will do virtually the same work as a pickup truck that costs 3x more! Great vehicles overall.

@davidpowell3347 11 месяцев назад

Neighbor had a six cylinder WJ version with just part time 4 wheel drive (power only to rear axle when transfer lever all the way forward) it got fairly good gas mileage unlike my V8 model that will transfer power to the front axle when the rear is spinning even with the transfer lever all the way forward

@toploadtele 11 месяцев назад

My daily driver is a Patriot Blue Pearl rust free 2000 Jeep GC Laredo 2-wd 4.0 (WJ). I bought it 2 years ago with only 70k miles and it now has 88k. It runs like a top, rides and drives fantastic getting 17/23 mpg which isn't bad for a large, roomy SUV. Little modifications here and there like a 2" lift and adding Wrangler 5 spoke 17' wheels make it sit better and look sharp. These Jeeps have the very unique combination of being unibody construction with a solid front axle which can be problematic when lifted. I replaced all of the steering and front suspension components including the upper and lower control arms and track bar (adjustable) so the caster angle and center line would be correct after the lift was installed, which is a must. Next will be new coil springs and heavy-duty upper and lower ball joints for the added weight of the 17" wheels and big tires. Note: These engines need zinc (ZDDP) added to the oil due of the flat tappet lifters if you want them to run smooth and super quite like a sewing machine for many years.

@michaelbelshaysr4525 11 месяцев назад

After 8 years we had to have the wiring harness in the driver's door fixed yearly. And we had to replace the ignition coil several times. But those were the big issues. The rear tail light Assyria had to be replaced several times as well. But a good vehicle besides those issues.

I've had a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 4.0 4x4 for a few years now, it had 192000 on it when I bought it for $3200. I put Amsoil in the engine, differentials, transmission, transfer case, brake fluid and power steering fluid. I also used the Amsoil engine flush when I made the change over from conventional motor oil. I also use the Amsoil fuel system additive. I used to get 13 mpg roughly. Since I made the change I regularly get 19 to 20 mpg. I also run it in All Wheel Drive year round. It has 207000 miles on it and runs like a top. Just an FYI for WJ owners.

I clocked 180K miles / 300K km on a Wrangler TJ 2000 same I6 motor when sold after 18 years of ownership since new. The only failed part was the limited slip mechanism in the rear differential. At 160K miles changed brushes on the original alternator without even loosening the fixing bolts. The AC was still working. I thought that was normal for Jeeps.

I would be one of the few people driving during a snowstorm on the Highway on my way to the ski areas up north in NH. Too bad they are building a lot of Expensive CRAP nowadays.

@davidpowell3347 11 месяцев назад

Some of these cars have an "automatic climate control" that used a computer operated actuator motor to repeatedly push a blend door against its stops until the blend door or its axle separated or broke at low mileage,usually about or before the vehicle was two years old (most of the six cylinder cars had "manual" air conditioning and did better) the official fix involved tearing out the dashboard and I think moving the steering column to reach the evaporator and heater core box areas and the blend and recirculation doors areas to replace them with new parts that might just fail again although supposedly stronger than the originals-access to the heater core/blend doors/ac evaporator box is horrible in many newer cars- there is a jerryrig fix that involves cutting a hole or burning a hole with a small soldering pencil iron through plastic after taking the glove box out and accessing the blend door(s) through there and replacing with a metal heavy door and (I think I remember) a new heavy metal axle that accepts a hex screw to attach--it was called "HeaterTreater" and at the end you had aluminum duct tape that you used to seal back the pieces of plastic you cut open -since having done that I think best to keep the electric connector to the actuator motor unplugged until you want to change from cold to hot or vice versa--you take the glove box off again to do that) when part of the blend door fails you begin to get cold air out of some of the dash air registers and when the whole thing fails (there is actually a second blend door behind a partition with its own actuator) you get nothing but cold air no matter how high you turn the "temperature control" knobs out of all the dash air registers and even the heater floor outlets and defrost outlets

Great views of Narraganset Bay, nice sunsets because it faces west and the best part, it's 100% free. Great place to bring the family and the dog if you have one. Cheers Scotty!

Hi Scotty. I wonder if the brake fluid needs to be flushed after all those miles. Maybe the old fluid is kind of "sticky"? Cheers, Chuck in Florida.

I used a turkey baster to change the brake fluid. it does get dirty. just be very careful not to get air in the system while doing it.

Hi @XTRABIG. I have used a turkey baster to change power steering fluid in a 2007 Ford Focus! Really great for non-invasive fluid renewal. Uses more fluid doing it this way but added cost was worth NOT breaking into system. Even made a spreadsheet to calculate my dilution of the old fluid to obtain 90% new fluid with multiple turkey baster drain and fills. Yay!

We used to joke about seriously bad drivers in the 90’s always were in Jeep Grand Cherokees.

Bought a 2008 JGCL 17 months ago. It only had 51K on it when I bought it. Its got the 3.7 V8. Its got 96 less cubic inches then my 68 Roadrunner but only 20 less HP. Boy that thing is zippy. The only thing that I replaced was the catalytic converter and that was still under warranty. I''ll be dead and buried by the time it reaches 100K.

Still no replacement for displacement.. the latter would out torque this newer crap we are subjected to now.. not always about hp.. look at heavy trucks engines.. only throw out 5-600 hp BUT almost a literal Ton of torque.

Cost of ownership.. Over the long term.. Paying for 14mpg, you will save lotsa money.

All the Cherokees until the Daimler era used the AW4 trans. same as Toyota Tacoma. My friend with a Taco pointed it out and sure enough mine was the same as his.

@billnyilas8 11 месяцев назад

Yep. I have a 2000 XJ with the 4.0L and 175K miles and it is smooth and quiet. It has the Aisin AW-4 tranny which is used on Toyotas and even some Lexus and Volvos use it. It's supposed to be as good a tranny as the 4.0L is for an engine. I get a little better gas mileage because the regular Cherokee (XJ) was lighter than the Grand Cherokee (WJ), so I get about 16 City and 22 Highway. Mine is a Daimler-Chrysler, the last and one of the best Jeeps made. I bought it because of the 4WD which I needed for the NY winters (I left for work at 4:00 AM and didn't want to get stuck with an overnight snowstorm). I have never gotten stuck in the snow with the 4WD in low - I can plow though just about anything. Scotty is right about the 4.0L straight-6 engine. It is one of the best, most reliable engines ever made and is easy to work on. There is plenty of room to reach everything. Some of the Grand Cherokees with a V-8 had the Chrysler Torqueflight tranny, another reliable transmission.

That knock on the poor gas mileage of the 4 L. Jeep engine in the Grand Cherokee is not necessarily true. I have a relative who had a GRAND CHEROKEE, made in the late 1990s, & we went to festival where there was bumper to bumper idling traffic for a long time. The needle showing gas barely moved! I couldn't believe it! This guy put 550 kilometers on that vehicle before the engine finally quit. NO major repairs. The BEST vehicle I've come across, much better than any of mine. A jewel. The thing I learned here was that this vehicle was actually a cross-over, meaning no steel chassis!,,, rather than a true SUV where the body is bolted onto rigid steel chassis. Didn't know Jeep was pulling something like that , especially on GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED ("Special") EDITION, during those many years ago.
