Santa Fe, Texas, United States

As stated above jeep has what I have been told was piston slap , it has been doing it since I bought it @ the first of the year, and only does it at idle speed after it warms up. Hasn't got any worse and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere but it is there. I bought a new GMC truck and didn't want to drive it to work because of the parking and had wanted a Jeep for awhile and bought this one for the purpose of a work car. I looked at ALOT of jeeps before I found this one, most of them were rusty or beat to death.This one is very clean for the year underneath as well as on top. Got ticked off and retired last month so if I can get my money or close back now I will get rid of the jeep , if not I will keep it as a extra car. I have put @ 4000 miles on it. So there is my story.
Last month I had a new clutch, pressure plate ,throwout bearing,and pilot bearing in it. Also had a small leak so also replaced the oil pan gasket and the engine is VERY clean in the pan and all looked good there, and because I had heard there was a problem with the oil pumps making noise I had it changed while the pan was off (made no difference at all by the way) Other than mentioned above the jeep runs excellent ,uses no oil,no smoke,and shifts and drives good also. A/C , heat, wipers,power steering/brakes, lights,stereo with speakers in sound bar and dash,all work as they should. 2 tires are different brands but all 5 are in good shape , locks on all 5 wheels , high lift jack , carpet is good also.It was also a guy my age I bought the jeep from and until I got it had spent it's life @ Austin Texas . It also has a throttle body spacer , flowmaster exhaust with header , and a K& N air filter,and as stated the jeep runs and performs very good. It is not a new car so if you expect one buy a different one , I don't have to sell mine and sure do not need the drama.Shipping is on the buyer and all sales are final . If you want to set up a time to look at it that is fine ,PAYPAL FOR DEPOSIT ONLY. |

Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.
Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe
Fri, 23 Aug 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."
Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.
