Scotty Kilmer Hey Scotty I’m the first to reply 🙃🚗🏎
I have a jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 350,000 miles on it. Day driver about 70 a day a few sensors has been the biggest problems other than basic maintenance.
Also it gets 18 to 24 mpg with auto 4x4.
But I would not buy a Grand Cherokee
I have Cherokee 2000 model the brake system is the only problem
Scotty you're wrong. The only jeep anyone should buy is a willy's.
What about the 6.4 l srt Jeep
I got a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with the 4.7 and it's been a absolute tank still going strong at 366k miles
I'm looking at one thats small v8 4 speed 4x4. Is that a god one. 160,000 miles though
4.0 2004 going at 320k
I had 2000 too but the trans went @round 340 .
4.0 2004 208k
That's amazing! Way to go!! I had an '01 with 337k miles, but you are the highest mileage 4.7 I've ever heard of now in every forum and video comments I've read. Is that the original engine and transmission?
Had a 98 Jeep Cherokee that had 500,000+ miles on it and sold it. It's still going strong.
Did it cost $500,000+ to maintain? My family had a 2000 Cherokee that damn well did
@@CovidVirgin no I changed the oil every 6000 miles put gas in it and that's it. I only changed the breaks on the Jeep two times. Lol. That think was the best vehicle I ever had.
Kimberly Goins those are indestructible.
I had a 99. That 4L was great
@@ConstanceCox right. 500,000+ miles. It's almost like having a big rig. Lol
My grandfather was a mechanic his whole life. Drove hard body Nissan trucks and in his golden years settled down with a nice Grand Cherokee. RIP Pop.
❤
Love my '99 Cherokee with 227,000 miles on my 4.0 inline six. Glad to hear a decent approval from Scotty!
Lol. You don't need his opinion to enjoy a Chrysler.
I have a 98' TJ and I love it too.
@@arod762 TJs are such fun cars, one of my buddies has a 5MT 4 liter with 363,000 miles - we regularly beat the hell out of it😁
@@weilandcock that's awesome. Mine has 170k and no signs of breaking soon.
@@arod762 have fun with it man! hope it treats you well
Daily driven a Jeep 4.0L for 21 years, still hummin
My '98 Jeep GC with the 4.0L engine and old-style NP242 transfer case has 208,000 miles on both the engine and transmission. I am the original owner. It continues to be the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. And it's very capable off-road. I'm glad that Scotty finally admitted how good they are. Great MPG? No, but I get 18-19 mpg on the highway. A bit less than it did when new, but still not god-awful.
99 4.7l w/ 270k. Granted has a few quirks. But I daily drove until this year. Still have it. Still runs.
I daily drive a 2002 GC with the 4.0L and 207,000 miles. Bought it a from the original owner in 2014. It’s a 100% Florida car that was garage kept until I bought it and has never seen snow or ice. Have I had problems? Yes. Just minor issues like a water pump, idler pulley, and starter. All these problems gave me a warning and I was able to repair them without breaking down. The Jeep has only left Florida once in its life, last year to Savannah, GA. I’m planning to drive it to Abilene, TX in March.
that was their best, had 92 Cherokee with the 4.0L. good engine for a lite run-around rig. couldn't pull much of a trailer.
I’m currently driving a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 but it’s leaking now and I’m looking for a new more gas saving car . Preferably a Toyota 😆
I've had my 04 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L for just over 10 years. 204,000 miles right now and still runs like the day I bought it (used and garage kept at 52k). Aside from routine maintenance, I've had the starter replaced, TP sensor replaced, and a new front drive shaft put on. I drive it every day and will continue to until she finally gives in.
I remember my first week owning it I was pumping gas and a complete stranger walks up to me, he must have been in his 70s. Asked me "Is that one of those jeeps with that 4.0?" I was like yes sir I just bought it. He said hold on to it, they don't make em like that anymore lol
Did you ever have a transmission leak an had to replace the gasket? Mines been sitting for some time now :/
So do yall guys recommend buying a 04 grand cherokee ?
@@geealief1130yep
We had a 2000 cherokee with the 4.0 and we drove it from salt lake to st George about a 4 hr drive 2 times a week. It went strong with well over 300K
My 99 is at 260k still running silky smooth, and my dads 98 is at 317k and also still running great. These motors are amazing, and gotta love that nice low end torque.
2000 WJ 4.0. money had 262K and just keeps on running. I love the WJ's💯👍🇺🇸🤟
My dad used to have a 2002 Grand Cherokee Limited V8 when I was 10 years old, and it was a brilliant car. Yes, the V8 meant it was a TREMENDOUS gas hog, but it had some of the most comfortable seats of ANY car I had ever sat in.
I remember when we went to pick it up back in July 2010, and from the moment I sat down on the seats for the first time, I was in heaven as they were just oh so comfy... The Americans really know how to make proper car seats!
We even went on a caravan holiday in it to Great Yarmouth in August 2010, and I remember watching one of my Top Gear DVDs on the way there on the aftermarket DVD headrests we had installed in it. The V8 also had plenty of power for towing our caravan on the 127-mile journey to the campsite.
My aunt got a 92 Wrangler a few months before I was born, and while it is the oldest, to this day it has remained the most reliable car in my family.
Had an 03 Grand Cherokee with the straight 6. The engine is the strongest part of the car.
So tru
I love mine.
3 reasons I watch Scotty's videos:
No. 3
Mechanic lore
No. 2
His honesty
No. 1 (and most important)
The selection of random animal pictures illustrating his laughs! Hah
Haha same those always crack me up😂
Don’t forget when he says junkyard, he will show a picture of either a Chevy, GMC, or a Fiat dealership
@@JH-jm8ib don't forget ze unreliable Germans
I agree very informative and entertaining. I hope he lives a long life. God bless him.
My family has a 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 305k miles with the original engine and trans. We've hit 3 deer in it and it keeps going. Most realiable vehicle we've ever had.
3 deers? On purpose? 0_o
4.0l is one of the best engines ever mass produced. they got rid of it because they weren't selling jeeps. because they were still on the road
I can concur. The two most bullet proof engines ever produced, the AMC/Jeep 4.0L and the Ford 4.9L/300cui and both were straight 6’s.
You're absolutely wrong the end of the motor because just like the Ford 460 Big Bore Short Stroke big valves big boom dirty motor. Why they do make excellent torque. EPA in government killed them. On the plus side we now have the 3.6 a lot more torque.
@@street_legal_go_kart7356 Yeah, but many people loved the 4.0 for its reliability and low-end torque.
@@maxd.m1183 ya but 3.6 still has more torqe . = more fun :) had a 99tj sahara 14 years .
the 225 slant six lasted so long that when the engine outlasted the cars, farmers would use the engine for generators
i have a 91 cherokee 4.0 still running great! best "used" vehicle i've bought daily driven the 10 yrs i've owned it
I got the 4.0 Jeep it has 263k miles had it since it had 66k and the engine runs strong being daily driven like crazy everyday
i belibe that my grand cherokee has 2nd transmission, and engine still running strong , don't forget replace water hoses, fuel pump, and filters for better performance.
2006 Jeep liberty 4.0 210k miles and drives like new.
I have a late 80's Cherokee XJ with the 4.0L High Output, sitting at 253100 miles and it runs like a top! Starts every time I ask it to. This has been second only to my 92 Previa that lasted just about 300K
Steve Silvas A cherokee SJ? 4.2 L i6 i’m guessing, considering the XJ came out in ‘84 and didn’t get the 4.0 till ‘87
Scotty I'm a seasoned mechanic and you saved me a lot of time with the A/C blower motor trick on my mom's Versa. I Fonzied the dash and it started working. I really can't spare the time to deal with that sad little car so that was a life saver.
I owned a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited trim with the 6 cylinder engine. I only had two mechanical problems but both were pretty simple to replace. After 4 sets of tires, 2 sets of brakes and one set of shocks from normal wear and tear and 210,000 miles I felt I wanted something newer. I honestly felt bad trading it in. I hope the new owner got as much pleasure and reliability from it as I did.
I have put over 100K on my '03 GC with the HO 4.7 (it has over 200K on it now). It's my daily driver, and my weekend warrior.
1995 jeep grand cherokee was my dads for 18 years and now its mine :)
Same except mine is the 1996 v8
So new jeeps are no good?
Onyx Tytanium they’re okay. Not like the past jeeps. they’re pretty expensive tho
I have a 2005 GC, 3.7L V-6. Bought it in 2006. Has 130,000 miles on it - it's a daily driver. Oil is changed every 3000 miles; runs like new and is very dependable. I've never bought any of my vehicles based on fuel mileage.
2006 jeep purchased at 52k, straight tank no traces currently at 74, driving this bitches until the transfer case cames off
Actually Scotty, I bought a 1988 Honda CRX that I daily drove for 5 years and I never had to replace a single part! Very reliable car and I would recommend
Been a jeep owner for years. Had my wj for 5 years with the 4.7 290k still runs good.
The Cherokee with the 4.0 I6 and the 4speed Aisin transmission were the best.
Anything with an aisin transmission will last
Mines been siting for 1 year cuz the transmission leaks I was told you gotta take engine out an all to replace the gasket...is it true??
If it's the front main seal on the transmission then yes the engine or transmission has to come out to fix it. Often it's easier to just top the fluid off and check it every time you drive it.
Enrique Ortiz Thanks for the info I hope it’s not that tho
I have a 93 that has almost 300 thousand miles
I love how Grand Cherokees have *almost* always had RWD/4WD layouts with truck engines. It keeps it unique and not feeling like a typical FWD crossover. If the next generation Grand Cherokee ends up with a FWD layout you might as well remove the word "Grand."
Had one with a 4.0, was good on gas, 270,000 miles when I sold it, still drove great. Miss it!
My 99 grand cherokee 4.7 v8 ran till it hit 200k miles, I'm amazed at how long it lasted with little maintenance and with everything leaking, it's not the greatest built car but it's definitely resilient.
Got a 1996 Grand Cherokee 4.0 closing in on 300k miles. A little valve ticking and a few pesky aging suspension issues here and there but still going strong.
I bought a 97 Grand cherokee back in 2015 for $900 with 225k on the I6 and original transmission. I drove that car all over as my daily driver until this past spring when I sold it still in great mechanical and cosmetic shape for a newer Pontiac Vibe (better mileage, more likely to be reliable in a new city). I really miss my Jeep.
My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L 6-cyl has 280k miles on it and counting, and is still my daily driver in 2019... yeah the mileage does suck and it has a few other issues for sure, but hey, it gets me where I need to go, and in relative comfort too
It no longer gets me where I need to go. The transmission went out completely. Almost $2000 estimated to rebuild it. RIP my Jeep 😭
@@SnarlyCharlyDamn, rest in peace. I’m still driving my 04 WJ with 136k miles on it. My biggest concern is the transmission, do you think I’m good for a couple more years?
@@JackHagar Mine definitely gave warning signals before it went, it started to slip often when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Mine lasted for 280k though, you're nowhere near that yet. So, hopefully so
Scotty with any car that isn't a Corolla or Camry: "Yea but don't buy it expecting to put 20,000 miles a year on it"
I'm pretty sure he likes the new civics
Thats a true fact if it isn't toyota or honda dint expect 20k a year
hola, yo no hablo espanol just wait...
It’s true tho, don’t get butt hurt. Had a WJ, every couple months something would break.
@@jaymoar3561 WJ?
Amazing. I was planning to buy a Grand Cherokee 2000-2004 seeing it on the thumbnail made me super happy! The ones with the old Mercedes engines and the 4.0L last a really long time. The body looks fantastic as well, if they offered me a 2019 or 2004 Grand Cherokee I'd get the 2019 one just to sell it and get 3 2004s.
I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ and love it. I have the Overland Edition. Full time 4x4. Great vehicle. I have a 4" lift and bigger tires on it amd love it. I got it from an estate auction with only 96k miles on it and turned it into a great weekend vehicle for me and my son for camping & fishing etc.
How’s the car doing right now?
I’ve had 2 Cherokees with 4.0. One was totaled and I bought another. Both had just under 100k when I bought them, the wrecked one had 178k when it was totaled, and I put 215k total miles on the next one and sold it to someone else and it was running fine. You absolutely could expect to buy one, daily drive it, and put 20k on it...I would say WAY more than that is possible. Easy to work on too. Great vehicles IMO.
100% I've owned many 4.0's & drove them FREAKIN DAILY.
Praise God that's amazing.
i KEEP READING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 2014-15-16-17 ......MINE IS 1995...... No transmission problems at all until after 15+ years and then nothing major. Most all problems have been simple to fix. I still love it :-)
I had a 1980 Cherokee Chief. When I drove on the highway, I could actually see the gas tank go down. 🤣 I got around 9mpg.
Isaac Woolley It had a big 360 in it with full time 4 wheel drive. It was big & heavy (4,500 lbs). That’s about what it got. Ok, maybe 12 on the highway & 9 in the city. When I came home from the army, my wife & I both drove our cars home. She had a little 86 Chevy citation, or something like that, took around 11 gallons to fill up & the Jeep took 20.4 gallons & I had to stop twice as much as she did.
(Edit) I just looked up the mileage on a ‘80 Cherokee & they get 11 city & 15 highway & average 12 mpg. That was new, not when it was 10 years old.
@@susanmaggiora4800 Suan is correct as I had a 79 Wagoneer with the 360 V8 and Quadra 4 wheel drive. The 360 V8 LOVES GAS!
@Isaac Woolley you clearly dont know those old FSJs. For one they had a mechanical fuel pump not electric. Two the gas needle on them werent that accurate. If you stop the gas sloshes foward and the needle goes down until it settles. If you step on the gas the needle goes up..
But yes they did get 10mpg or so. I have a 89 Grand Wagoneer same 360 his cherokee fsj had. And i have to refill every 3 days. I get 11mpg in mine actually by measuring the miles driven and fill up. But 9-12 mpg is about normal for them.
They also only have 3 speed automatics. So imagine going 65mph at 3000 rpm ?
hahaha, those pictures :D keep up the great work, Scotty!
I had a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with a 4.0 loved it and where I lived at the time it actually worked well as an every day.
jeep cherokee xj has the the 4.0 engine and the Japanese made aisin transmission and they are very reliable .
I drive an 2001 XJ with the inline 6. It has 198,000 miles and runs great ;)
This things are tanks and there still parts for them
Saw one for sale on Craigslist today with 268k miles In Oklahoma.
@@kclefthanded427 my Friend took an old boxy Cherokee Sport to Off Road, that little thing is amazing, could climb trees if you want
Thugz bunny wife’s a mail carrier. I own an 05 tj w/135k and 10 jk w/182k right hand drives. They are the bane of my existence. I loathe them with all of my soul. I’m 20k into the jeeps and 7.5k into repairs over last two years. We break even on her MTC allowance but the gas is on us. Torque converter just stopped locking in on the jk and Im about to put a tyranny in it soon. I just replaced the pcm on the tj and Heater core on the went south over the summer. those go for 3-400$ IF you can find one. The 4.0 is the better mother by far tho. I’m gonna cry myself to sleep now.
I drive a 2000 XJ with 196K . Ease of maintenance, durability ,availability of parts and no payments more than makes up for bad gas mileage.
The 99-04 Jeep GC aka WJ
Good Jeeps and easy to work on.
I had an 04 with the 4.0 and built to be a decent little off-roader.
Same man. Bought it at 250k miles and I have put 10k relatively trouble free miles. I only had a few issues which were normal things like old hoses and stuff.
I have this Jeep in the Limited trim with the 4.7 HO V8. It's a wicked vehicle.
04 Grand Cherokee. Motor still strong at 260k miles. A lot of front end suspension has been replaced. Entire cooling system also. Great vehicles overall.
Do you recommend buying an 04 Grand Cherokee? Looking forward to a 04 limited edition
I would have to agree. I have had quite a few Jeeps however my 04 WJ is my favorite. I did have to do the heads on the 4.7HO, the previous owner overheated it one too many times. It does eat the gas but in context compared to my old K5 Blazer it gets great mileage and has MUCH more power. JUst clicked over 150,000 and it still rolls down the highway at 75 with ease and with a few judicious mods is a star off road.
Drive it till the wheels falls off, thats a dangerous expression. lol
If the wheel falls off, I'd put a shoe on them.
I said that to my mechanic about a free car I was blessed with and he looked at me like I was nuts! Haha
Back in the '80s I used to be able to buy late'60s chargers for $50 that were beat pretty bad and I drive them for a while pull the starters alternators and crap off of them and scrap them one of them when the forklift came in to pick it up at the junkyard one of the wheels actually fell off two story.
That happened before lol but that was because someone unscrewed the nuts
@@larryjensen1388 you should have kept some .....
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the one of a kind Selec-Trac transfer case that will do AWD, 4WD and regular rear 2WD. Plus the bullet proof inline six 4.0 engine. 307,620 miles and it only getting close to middle age. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Plan to drive it the rest of my life.
Had a 96 with the 5.2 and a 99 with the 4.0. Loved them both! Zero issues with either and I didn’t treat them that well. I also averaged 25mph with both driving 40 miles a day for work.
You averaged 25 mpg in the same boat I got? I’m lucky if I get 13! Idk if you done anything to yours or not but mines got a 3” lift 31x10 tires and 1 1/2” wheel spacers.
HOLY HELL YOU ONLY WENT 25 MPH, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU ?
I’ve got an 04 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0.
Great daily driver, very comfortable around town, and fantastic performance on the trails with the locking diffs.
I also think the most traded it vehicle for cash for clunkers was the 2002 Ford Explorer :D
Do you recommend buying a 04 Grand Cherokee
@@geealief1130 yes, Try to get the 4.0, best suv you can get for the money, try it¡
@@geealief1130yes either engine is great. just change the oil and check the fluids often
Thank you Scotty! I bought a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee known as the WJ series! It has that. bulletproof 4.0 engine! Right now it has 170,000 miles! Runs like new! It's not my daily driver! Bought it for its 4 Wheel Drive capability in snow! I paid $1,500 for it!
I've got the 2000 wj with the legendary 4.0l. 286000, aside from the paint fading it runs like the day it came out of the factory. Hands down the Jeep WJ is s TANK👍💯
Iconic design. I've had my 2004 I-6 4x4 since 2007 and still loving it. Only 115k miles.
99 XJ and it is still running...4.0 I6 AW4 NP242...146k miles...3" lift 30" tires...great vehicle
People love their Jeeps
How does Scotty find the time to make all these videos? I barely have enough time to watch them all.
Thank you Scotty for all the great information you put out there for us! 👍🏽
Jeep 98 XJ 4.0l straight 6 hands down. They look great with 33s or 35s.
Got my 98 tj with straight six. My trail jeep. 👍👍

I have a 1992 Jeep Comanche. I bought her brand new in 1992 with 12 miles on her. She runs wonderful to this day. I had the transmission replaced because I trusted the mechanics call to replace it. She is going on 233,000 miles. Best decision I made was to buy my Jeep in 1992.
I've owned an 84' Cherokee 4x4, 86' Cherokee 2 wheel, 97, grand Cherokee 2 wheel. All with the 4.0. All ran superb. Am currently driving a 99' grand Cherokee AWD with the 4.7 have done very little work to it outside routine maintenance. 278,000 miles, and I would not hesitate to get in it and drive California. I live in East Texas.

A 2013 Ford Taurus isn't 17 years old Scotty. Where did that slip come from? Lol
He added 10 years to that one by mistake. Had an 02 Taurus, it was a good car if you could keep the mice out of it. Never did find out where they were getting into the interior.
Give it time. Eventually, it will.
Scotty’s expensive scanner computes the age of cars automatically. When he shoots a video, his scanner can’t help him!

I had an 88 t-bird turbo coup with 198000 miles on it when I sold it. It was all original. Engine and original turbo still churning like it was new. Some engines like the 2.3 turbo are excellent engines.
88-91 Honda r still good daily drivers with great gas mileage since they were solid built. I never had any rubber hose issues with my 91 civic. Too bad I had to get rid of it since the cam shaft was bent since the previous owner drove it without oil 🤦🏻♂️

My 04 Jeep wJ v8 variant just hit 170,000 and sadly it is going to see it’s day soon. Burning oils and has a transmission code popping up requiring a full rebuild. The Jeep was solid till this point. Will drive it to the ground like it deserves 🙏🏻
What code was URS throwing?
Any updates?
Sucks for you. I have 3 Jeeps. Two 98 Grand Cherokees. One with the 4.0 inline 6 and 42re supposedly bad transmission yet it has 310k miles now. Original engine and tranny. The other a 5.9 limited with 200k miles. The 3rd Jeep is a 89 Grand Wagoneer. With 140k miles.
If you maintain them properly they last forever
Jacon Johnsonter your talking about Jeeps made in 1998 when Chrysler first bought them and didn’t change or alter them to a 2004 which was 6 years into their take over. Your basically comparing apples and oranges.
@@OcAirsoft chrysler bought Jeep in 84 not 98. Lay off the pipe buddy. The trans and v8s on the ZJs are chrysler products. The only thing they kept on the ZJ AND WJ were the inline 6 engines and the body was designed by amc for the ZJ.. but the driveline is all dana new process and new venture and chrysler..
I have a 1996 jeep xj straight 6 manual trans, 4x4. 275000 miles. Drive it daily.
Love your vids
The 4.0L I6 TJ is the best and it can be a very good daily if you don't go over 32 x 11.5 x 15 BFG KO2. But the fun doesn't start until the weekend as we all know!
I just noticed his cat pillows. 😂
I own a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with a v6 in-line with 140k original miles & it runs great!
A V6 in-line? I assume you mean a V6
I have a 2006 liberty with 127k. runs like a clock lol!
@@wooferjr169 in 98 Jeep Cherokee had an inline 6. The 4.0 242ci AMC derived engine.
Max Well Wins That's extremely low for a '98! You can easily get 500,000 from it! Just maintain it well!
Joel Spivak thanks for the info, I was thinking of selling it but just didn’t know what I could get for it. I bought it for 2grand form an elderly lady she was the original owner and was garage kept but yeah 5grand sounds like a decent deal
a month ago I parked my Murano under a tree. limb fell on top of it and just broke the sunroof it did $14,000 worth of damage. Scotty tells truth!
I have a 2000 WJ from new, now has 620,000 miles on it and I'm looking to buy another one. Other than dropped valve seats, no mechanical problems, the trans has never given a problem.
I thought the Explorer was the most traded in vehicle during Cash for Clunkers. Alot of nice vehicles were destroyed.
I also thought it was the Explorer. Whoever the wackos were who devised the "Cash for Clunkers" program should be put away. $3 billion of tax dollars wasted and good vehicles were senselessly destroyed. That reduced the inventory of used vehicles, driving up prices. Thanks, Obama!
@@GentlemanAmerican exactly right. Cost more money for lower income earners who needed an inexpensive vehicle and couldnt afford to buy new. Another very poorly thought out program by the federal government.
5:31 you said that a 2013 Ford Taurus is 17 years old. I had to rewind to that part of the video to make sure I heard it right
Unibody cherokee's (1992) weigh 3028 lbs with 5spd manual you get about 20mpg in 25-30 yr old vehicle. Not bad, with the miles I put on mine working close to where I lived, I figured out it was greener than a prius driving regular 15k a yr, and with plenty of parts in the junk yard, easy to fix and work on.
Thank you brother for all your information that you share so willingly and enthusiastically. Salute.
1995 jeep grand Cherokee. Running strong. 💣💣💣
Have one 125000 2001, Need to change trans oil never have. when did you change yours?? hope you reply
@@susu-mi7kx Yes look in the owner manual 80 000 to 100000 I think
@@susu-mi7kx lol yours is still young. In my 02 I changed the transmission fluid at 250k. Idk of the previous owner before 250k ever changed it tho but the transmission is running fine still

My jeep ig @jeeplifejesus
Scotty love your channel 💪
hello and thanks!
Hey, scotty. Great video 🤘
I have a 2004 jeep wj overland with a 4.7 H.o. that Ive owned since 2005 daily driven in nepa. It's been very realible never not started. Never stranded me. Taken it on long trips. Runs great now at 131,355 just replaced a bad oil pressure sender. Fixed the problem. But I really hate to get rid of it. Shifts perfect and the qudradrive is amazing.
The 99-04 wj is daily worthy just take basic care of them youll get over 300k on either engine choice. The weak link is the trans. Great 4x4 capability and solid axles front and rear. Im sitting at 214k in my 96 grand cherokee with the 4.0 I6 and 225k on my 5.2L v8
I can attest to this lol. I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 260,000 miles. I barely have to do maintenance except oil changes. Its had its issues but it's just wear components like dry rotted radiator hoses and some broken sensors. Easy fixes. You're damn right about it being a gas hog lol. 12.1mpg city but I love the vehicle.
Hey Scotty! I have an 05 Saturn Vue 4 cylinder with 195000 miles on it. I live up north and when it gets cold outside, below 20 degrees the engine fan stays on all the time and does not shut off. It only does this when it is cold out, runs fine the rest of the year. I have tried the coolant sensor and the relay with no luck. what else can it be? Winter is coming and my winter beater takes forever to get heat in the cabin because the fan is on all the time. Thanks.
Thank you Scotty for clearing my doubt. Good day!
Thanks Scotty 😎
"Its great for rubber" - shows picture of condoms 😅
I have a 97 ZJ with the 5.2, 230,000 still runs and drives and off roads great!
Keep up the great work Scotty! Thanks for saving us thousands!

"Live free or drive a Chrysler"
News Flash. Chrysler_Fiat merges with Peugeot_citroen. Couldn't get any worse. Hay Curamba!
say so myself which why I'm gambling Nissan now...
I'll drive a 1970 Charger Rt 440RB/727
live free and drive a chrysler.
Saddest thing is those companies are making Chrysler worse, but Chrysler isn't making them better.
Had a Cherokee classic that I bought new and it went 396,000 before the #1 cylinder wore out, then bought a used Jeep Grand Cherokee 2004, 4 years ago with 130k on it-now at 190 and purring like a kitten. BTW, cost 4,600 4 years ago-4WD! Love those older Jeeps!1999
Scotty big fan, love the new intro dude🤙🤙👍
I have a lifted wj 99 4.0 its great
Ford: We made the best inline 6s in American history!
Jeep: Hold my beer.
HAL 9000 chevy: i just go for the V8's
The 300 cubic inch Ford straight six was a far better motor than the Jeep inline six. I've owned both, how about you - or did you just feel the need to use the cliche "hold my beer" line?
Buckhorn Cortez I've had both! In my opinion the inline six was the better! Burned more gas but... Indestructible!
@@buckhorncortez I've had family members with both, of which I used. The Ford was in a work van and a bulletproof, indestructible workhorse that went to over 320K before it was sold with nothing wrong. The Jeep was in a Cherokee that I can't remember how long it went but it was comparable, and it had much more power which I appreciated a great deal. The Ford was economical but lacked power, the Jeep had amazing power but not as economical. It's a toss up really, and the reason I made the joke.
@@buckhorncortez Yes, 7-bolt mains in the Ford 300/4.9L - The only way to destroy those engines is to leave the oil too low or way too dirty for too long. The 4.0 Jeep engines are excellent, as well. If I were going to buy a Jeep, it would be an old one with the 4.0 6-cyl or the old 4-cyl from the CJ period.
I have a 2006 jeep wrangler with the 4.0L straight six and a six speed manual transmission and it runs like a dream
Ey Scotty, My 2001 Mitsubishi went 370,000 Miles. Only thing I ever replaced was the alternator, radiator, brakes, rotors, coil packs, spark plugs, etc. the typical maintenance. Id recommend to anyone looking into a Montero, that they check the rear frame just behind the rear wheels. Wouldn't be surprised if the frame wasnt even there. Seen it many times. Love your vids. Thanks for the entertainment
the 4.0 does NOT get terrible milage in my experience.
