I have a question.. do you recommend me buying a used 2018 jeep grand Cherokee with 78k miles and had 3 owners in the past … there asking 40k

[@charliemedina6362]

He's lying. He complaining about sounds and things about it that he's not happy, all this hype he's doing is because he doesn't want anyone else to own a SRT8 so he's the only one in the area to have one because he knows in fact it's a BEAST on the streets.

[@joerubino1514]

I live in the area and have one as well, so he is not alone here in RI.

[@phunk875]

What has surprised me as of late, there's a lot of older people driving SRTs like regular grand cherokees? it blew me away cause it makes me wonder if these people know how much power these units have.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

🤣🤣🤣

[@RackeddUp]

Honestly I notice a lotta the fast dodge trucks are older guys ( from what I’ve seen ) and they don’t be speeding they love when you walk up an ask about the car . Mf will go on for 10 min w a good convo fr .

[@proteus778]

you don't always have to fully utilize the engine in a car 😆 Abusing the engine like most srt owners, wreck their engine fast.

[@frankcassano8369]

You are at the right mileage range for that noise you are hearing to be the transfer case and or rear diff. It happened to all of us. Best to do a fluid service with the proper fluids and additive, then put some more miles on it and see it it clears up again. Has worked for many of us JGC SRT owners.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

I’ll have to try that! Appreciate the tips!!

[@jdmjdm2094]

I had a bad clunk at take off. Once I changed the fluids in the diff and transfer case, clunk is gone.

[@TheFortytillFive]

@@jdmjdm2094my 09 is about do for a 60k mile fluid change

[@dakotakid95gt]

I bought mine in February 2022. I must’ve got one made on a Tuesday because I haven’t had a single problem and I beat tf out of it. 12.8x on the draggy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@alexbermudez7206]

What year

[@anthony3290]

I would fix the issue before it gets worse, go to a transmission shop. It’s not smart to trade it in now, you might have to drive it until it dies. Get your moneys worth. I don’t mean to tell you what to do, but I want to see you step up and make it big. I’m routing for you!!

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

Appreciate you 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@makaveli087]

Tinted over the Inspection. loool thats freakin *great!* "No, Officer, Listen: My vehicle can only have THIS inspection sticker. It's forever! Now, get outta here with that ridiculous outfit!"

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

That's the scam 😁😁

[@mckinnelybentley2564]

Good idea or bad idea will depend on if someone is a mechanic or not. At around 150K miles you might be replacing your motor and transmission.

[@lincolnmaserati4288]

Yoooo the bug got me dead! I’ve noticed that bugs are just drawn to my white gc as well😂

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

🤣🤣🤣

[@JERZEYPRO]

Keep it and build it up 💯💯💯

[@kamorinwilson2865]

Should do a forged bottom end on the engine its how you fix most the problems cause the stock bottom end is garbage on the 392

[@crawdaddycruff9876]

Is your life better, the same, or worse with an srt vs your last jeep? Thanks for the content

[@user-pr7yk5hn6k]

I’ve been in love with this SRT jeep before the hype and before really anyone was talking about it In my town and the circle of people I hang out with , Finally I’m thinking about getting A use one but my concern is that being that it’s fast I’m wondering if it’s well put together and I won’t have to many problems with it and will it last me . But I’m definitely looking forward to having this jeep . So I’m claiming it 2024 I will have the srt jeep grand Cherokee & I will be financially set & doing great financially.

[@paulvincent3825]

We call them ghost rattles, maybe just in time for Halloween. 👻👻👻👻👻

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MrSRT8_]

You here a noice when you disengage the traction control don't ya like metal on metal and a grinding noise. If you are it's your transfer case. Mine did that

[@CarlosHernandez-xd8jb]

This rattle noise, does it happen as soon as you accelerate regardless of how hard you press the pedal? I’m asking cause I’m currently hearing that on my jeep

[@mororti]

The same here. Really Annoying sound. Wtf its that?

[@draco7541]

Bro it’s your Borla exhaust 10000% just had the same problem . climb under and push your exhaust upwards towards your frame hard and it’ll make the ding sound . When you go over a bump your bouncing down on the exhaust I literally spent all day trying to figure it out.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

I checked! I might have to again because that’s what I thought it was too and I went and tightened and checked everything

[@draco7541]

@@BJPLIFESTYLE was it ever that ? I put more rubber bracket padding down and my noise stopped

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

It’s my drivers side tip I figured out the other day lol still need to fix it this weekend 💪🏻

[@draco7541]

@@BJPLIFESTYLE nice lol the noise can drive you crazy I had people telling me it was a control arm and all types of crazy stuff. Nope just a loose exhaust lol

[@BobBee1988]

How did you delete the orange signal in the headlights? Vinyl?

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

Yeah it’s just some dark tint vinyl!

[@p.e.l.2541]

The rattling could be the shocks. I had that same problem. It was annoying AF. I took it to the dealership and they held it for like 2 days in order to find the issue and they said it was the shocks.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

That’s what I’ve been suspecting it could be, the suspension feels a little weird anyways

[@p.e.l.2541]

@@BJPLIFESTYLE ... sidenote, as to making your Jeep SRT look more distinctive than other regular Jeeps (assuming you still going to keep it), add racing stripes and black out the roof bro. That definitely makes a HUGE difference to start. I will send you a pic of how my jeep srt looks on insta .

[@pattycarljackson]

I don't care what used car someone gets you should always do the important things like oil change, , diff/tansfer case fluid, trans filter and fluid even if not a flush. You always take a risk buying used especially an SRT or any other car like that because people beat the crap out of them.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

So I shouldn't not change the oil? 😂

[@stephaniehenley206]

I feel like my transmission is clunky as well! Is it not normal? It feels like a pop when I accelerate. And my leather dash is bubbling up!

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

🤣🤣🤣 the Jeep transmissions just suck I think

[@adriansoltero3489]

Mine seems to jump gear to gear and it feels like I’m getting kicked by a mule

[@HAbill]

Did you note anything during the test drive or have a mechanic look at it prior to purchase? The issues seem like things that could be checked/fixed and potentially covered under warranty.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

It felt good on the test drive and for a little bit after, my issue is with having to pay $500 to get it “diagnosed” to possibly be able to get it fixed with the warranty

[@HAbill]

@@BJPLIFESTYLE Good point on the diagnostic fee. I've had good luck on raising issues within a few days of purchase (putting it back on the dealership) but then you're stuck with footing the bill (particularly when not applied to a warranty).

[@Jasonluv731]

@@BJPLIFESTYLE how is an hour of diag 500?!! I’ve worked in dealerships my whole life as a tech

[@MikeyMakesPlays]

Srt owners, y’all think it’s worth it? Ima prolly pay 540$ a month plus insurance so around 7 somethjng a month for it, is that too much?

[@Krondree]

i’d be paying around the same wondering the same thing

[@Tintman_Antonio]

I go through $700 a month in gas how bout you?

[@MichaelangeloGotBandz]

You make me feel bad I spend 700 in 7days if I’m lucky😭

[@AgeraXXX]

Man it's been a minute since I seen ur SRT but it just looks so mean. I absolutely love it. I hope you can get ur issues resolved man. Also I think that was a stink bug lmao. Good thing u didnt touch 🐛

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

🤣🤣🤣 that bug was there forever

[@Tracklyfe_T]

bro I paid like 48K for my 13 SRT. with 70k miles. I bought it when everything sky rocketed. I def overpaid for mines smh. I do love the truck though, so It doesnt bother me as much. I also got extended warranty. Cause I know these are expensive to fix. did you get warranty on yours??

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

Of course! I’d never buy something without a factory / third party warranty ever again

[@Tracklyfe_T]

@@BJPLIFESTYLE have u thought bout taking it in so they can fix the issues you facing ?? Seems like it’s bothering you.

[@goodnightmoon4703]

Damn you paid way too much, I bought a 2018 srt for 60k with 34k miles, and the extended warranty is 100% required, the transfer case will forsure give out. Maybe multiple times. The panels also become misaligned in the interior; some of my plastic trunk panels became loose and the carbon fiber did as well and I only had a 2018 one.

[@nickm2294]

You paid almost 50K for a 13??? Bro wtf

[@Tracklyfe_T]

@@nickm2294 yeahhh but it s a special edition called the “Alpine” that’s why I bought it. They only built 400 of them for u.s Super rare

[@JERZEYPRO]

You'll be ok

[@JERZEYPRO]

I'm getting one I love them

[@MrSRT8_]

First thing you need to do is be thankful you got a white Jeep. I got black and I couldn't keep it. F****** clean safe my life. Second off I recommend you take it into a shop. Have the motor and trans ran through immediately. It cost about 4,500 $7,500 if you want to rebuild them. If you go to a reputable shop and that would be my first recommendation. Third recommendation is take turn grand. Set it aside. Have all of it done at one time when you put a pro charger on it and then tell him you want him to run through the motor and s*** tell him to give him 10 grand that usually will cover the pro charger and any going through for bigger fuel injectors and s*** like that and that's what you need to do 10 g's and you'll turn that from 400 to 650 horse all-wheel drive. Not a goddamn thing. Will keep up

[@mr.robarbushites4055]

Anything else now these days will be a 6 cyl or a 4 cyl. not a good o'l 8 cyl. Now if they took that 3.0 6 cyl that makes close to 500 horse in the grand wagoneer put that into the grand Cherokee wouldn't be too bad.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

Lift the SRT and swap it with a train engine where I have to shovel coal? 🤣

[@battman0624]

You didn't get a warranty for it?

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

I did, but it’s 3rd party so I have to pay diagnostics upfront & I’ve found they usually can’t find the issue for a while lol

[@juanpancho9575]

Pray those lifters in the cam dont give out after 60k its a timing bomb😂

[@1969Mrjb]

It's not the sexiest-looking vehicle on the road but, it is more useful than a sedan or coup! Plus, it's fast!!! I have one with the same issues, and I like it! I guess it's an age group thing.

[@johnfromm1974]

Just bought a 2018 Altitude (my first Jeep) for a bit under 20K. It has 116,000 miles and it runs great! Managed to grab a 100K/4 year bumper to bumper on it so, I’m not too concerned. Cosmetic-wise it’s damn near perfect interior and exterior. I think my only concern is, it is 4x4 and although I looked everywhere for how to engage the 4 wheel drive, all I keep getting on Google is that it’s “full time” and that it engages when it needs to? With that being said, how does it perform in the mud, snow, off road etc etc? Have you had any experience with my model?

[@jeffchan9176]

A rattle and you have not even removed the wheels yet?🤣

[@shahmirja7202]

Might as well get a Trackhawk with the gas you spend on a jeep srt! Never going back.

[@BJPLIFESTYLE]

With that trackhawk payment + even less mpg 🫣

[@lincolnmaserati4288]

I bought a 75k mile gc used tbh for the price tag it is worth it. A new vehicle is NOT IMMUNE TO FAILURE. Plenty of newer cars that spent a lot of time at the shop. It’s a fake stigma that new cars don’t have problems. Everything breaks ask a mechanic. I’m younger like you as well only 24 yr old so for our age group I believe it is wiser to go used. Bouta have my shit paid off in less than a year and a half compared to if I went new I’d have to keep taking a payment.

Cam fail. Lifter fail. Mds fail. Oil pump fail need larger volume for this motor. Valve stem seal fail. Plastic coolant line fails Engine mount fails. Oil in the inlet manifold fail. Runs too hot radiators fail short life. Fuel consumption is one of the worst on the road if not the worst. All the electronics and yet the valve train fail rarely shows up as a problem code, some cars engines blow up. Here in Australia parts are 3 x the price of what they should be, the government got involved at one point. We love our Hemis in Australia but there life & reliability is that of a Russian car from the 1960s

[@padilla2363]

Am looking to trade in my 2020 Limited X for an SRT. Probably will make the move or mistake you did of taking on a higher mileage one, for the opportunity 🫤
