I have a 05 ford explorer. Got it last year with a clunk in the transmission when i put it in "D" and "R". The issue went away after i replaced the transmission fluid and filter with Valvoline maxlife transmission fluid and drove it for 100miles. The detergents probably dissolved gunk in the valve body. So i absolutely think that changing the atf is a good thing.

Hi Clay. Question. I had a 2008 Liberty for 4 months. Ran great and took me from Maryland to 20 miles south of the Canadian boarder like it was going to the local 7-11. No issues. Sadly, a sweet little old "Vin Diesel" inspired lady, smashed into my rear door and spun me into guard rail. They totaled my Jeep, and I am looking for a replacement Liberty. I found a 2008, on a mom and pop lot, but it has the skyslider roof. I have heard horror stories and a new report investigation out of a station in Miami, that Mopar has stopped offering all parts for the roof. It seems like a obvious answer, at the same time would you recommend that the lack of parts to be a deal breaker for a used vehicle? Thanks

Hi Karen. I’m sorry to hear about that happening to your jeep. Regretfully I would have to say not to get that sky slider. I absolutely absolutely loved mine!!!

So I think 3700s a very fair price if it’s in good condition the one that I bought is in extremely good condition other than the engine tick . I would say go for it because I’m about to sell this one when I’m done for eight or 9000 the reason I can get that much for it though is because I will have video documentation of what I do to it so that adds a lot of value.

I hope any vehicle that you buy that’s over $10,000 will last you 3 to 5 years unfortunately I don’t buy that new vehicles or spend that much money on them so my advice probably wouldn’t be as good as it could be from somebody else. I personally think the ones with the lower miles are probably your best bet of course $17,000 for a vehicle with 107,000 miles on it seems a bit high to me but I know the overland is a very very nice vehicle As far as the one with 34,000 miles on it that just depends on how long you’re going to keep it I don’t know if that’s a good price or if that’s a bad price. I know my friend just bought a brand new truck and it was about 40,000 with 0 miles on it so I would check the price of brand new automobiles because dealerships are selling them extremely cheap and right now is a good Time to buy if you’re buying a brand new automobile Then on the other hand I personally would never buy a brand new automobile because I don’t have deep enough pockets for it. And because of the depreciation value on a brand new automobile. Like I said before I can’t be of much service but I certainly would try them or some of my opinions on the situation

Hi! Is a 2008 Jeep Liberty Sport with 126,000 miles on it worth 4,500?
@sharpcarco4 жыл бұрын
If I remember correctly 2008 is the first year for the Jeep liberty I think if it’s a four-wheel-drive version more than likely it is worth that much money . But keep in mind that the Jeep liberty is a good vehicle but it needs to have regular oil changes or you will have engine problems down the road I personally like the engine in the jeep liberty but at 180,000 miles they’re known to have a internal issues . Inside the engine and it will probably cost you two or $3000 to fix but overall they’re decent

Really sorry Paul I do not have video on that but I know for a fact there is video out there and I’m pretty sure it’s fairly simple I think there’s only for a little tabs next to the headlights and below the center section of the grill and it pops right off if I remember correctly

I just bought a 2012 liberty latitude....when I first take off it makes kind of a built-up whirrrring noise in the trans, almost like it's supposed to sound that way...is it?....it has 75,000 miles on it, I'm having the cooling system flushed, and was thinking of having the trans fluid changed, but now, after this vid, I'm wondering if I should?....any suggestions on what I SHOULD have done as maintenance at 75,000 miles would be greatly appreciated...Thanks Clay

I don’t know what happened and why I did not see this message before I greatly apologize for not answering I think the other gentleman is correct you should have the transmission fluid changed I hope you don’t have the same problem that I described in the video I wish you the absolute best God bless and have a great day thank you so much for the kind words

In my Jeep, when I first start going from a stop, I hear a whining noise in the transmission as well. This is the sound of the gears rolling in the transmission, specifically first gear. If yours is like mine, the noise will stop as soon as the transmission shifts into second gear. This sound is normal, I heard it on both of the Jeeps I've owned.

@sharpcarco3 жыл бұрын
I think anything that runs and drives well and looks decent is probably worth $2500 , And if it’s four-wheel-drive could be worth 3030 500 just depends on miles etc. etc.

@sharpcarco Жыл бұрын
That’s a lot of money, but today is a different day than yesterday was that’s not bad miles or real high miles. I sold a 2011 Jeep liberty redline for $8900 with 136,000 miles on it so I don’t guess in 2008 for 7800 is all that ridiculous nowadays even though it’s kind of ridiculous, I haven’t been watching the market on jeeps for a little while, so just check the prices of other ones before you make a decision like that

@sharpcarco4 жыл бұрын
That’s a very good point that you make their Russell but the person driving that jeep knew the wheel bearing was bad for a very long time before it came off. And there are other reasons that a wheel can come off because of a bad wheel bearing that are generally human caused (like improper installation) But thank you for sharing that with us very much appreciate it

Hi Clay, I’m about to buy a Jeep Liberty 2012, good history except that the owner had to change the water pump, I tried the car for 30 miles w him, everything is working fine. Do I have to look for something in specific given the water pump change?
@sharpcarco3 жыл бұрын
No water pump change is perfectly acceptable and actually a good thing. When I think about buying used cars I think about price, condition, Miles etc. etc. I think most peoples instincts are correct when they feel good and comfortable with something you should go with your gut Doesn’t mean you won’t get a lemon but at least you won’t feel bad about your purchase later on because you felt good about it when you bought it Miles and price are my biggest concerns.
