A recently married man was in his garage working on his Celica. His new wife came out and watched him for a few minutes before saying "Now that we are married, you should probably sell that old thing" Suddenly the mans face went pale and he looked as tho he was going to be sick. "Are you OK ?, whats the matter" asked his wife. The man said, "For a moment there you sounded like my Ex-Wife" "EX-WIFE" the woman shouted, "You never told me you were married before" "I wasn't" he said.

Jeeps may have gone downhill but I got a 16 Cherokee and I REALLY like how rugged it is compared to any other SUV I've seen. The rubber mats are so easy to clean, the interior looks great, and the only problem mine has is the shift lights get confused and it throws a "shifter service" warning, but it drives and shifts just fine.. it's literally just the lights lol That said, nothing about the new cherokee's scream off road to me.

Ive always put my new tires in the rear and rotate the rear to the front tires. This comes from my experience with Sears Radial (think Michelin) tires in the mid 1960's when the Sears mechanic refused to mount two new radial tires on the front of the car with the original bias tires in the rear. He insisted that the higher traction tires belong in the rear of the vehicle. I have done that ever since and never have had an issue with donuting out on a slippery curved road.

[@Hard_7_Iron]

I guess I’m a lucky guy... I’m over 60 and have owned Jeeps my whole life. Mostly Wranglers...but some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Cherokees too. I take care of my vehicles and never miss servicing or oil changes, and air filters. I also keep them as clean as possible, both as a hobby and so I can notice any strange leaks or fluids. I’ve never had SERIOUS issues with any of these Jeeps. V8’s, V6’s...no troubles. Don’t get me wrong, I do agree there are times when FCA released products too soon. The 9 speed transmission originally was released before the software was ready.But, even so, you can keep your vehicles running pretty good if you just pay attention. If I am one lucky guy...I’m real lucky. Because Ive owned almost everything Jeep has made...except 4 cylinders (although I like the 2.0 Hybrid/Generator motor). No troubles...know on wood.

I agree the 9 speed ZF tunning was not much fun specifically the 2 dog clutch shift points, but it was pretty bad in Hondas too, I've heard it's much better in latest models

The tire problem is the new pair of tires has a lower load rating than the old tires . You have to check the load rating when you get tires . On a cargo van ,mini van or station wagon it will call for a higher load rating on the tires because you can load more stuff . There is a number and a letter on the tire one is the weight rating one is the ply or speed can't remember . You need to get the correct weight rating for your vehicle you can look up the codes for car and truck tires .

[@karlelliott9254]

The old 225 Dauntless V-6 (actually the 225 Buick engine) was great on fuel economy. I also had a 1984 CJ-7 that I installed a 1964 Dodge WW Stromberg carburetor on with the five speed manual and original 2.72 gears with the 4.2 inline six and it did 24 MPG on the highway and 20 MPG around town. Idle RPM was set at 500. This was in the 1990,s and the person I sold it to is still driving several days a week. If you can’t leave it out in the rain without the top it’s not a Jeep.

I bought my first Jeep Wrangler in 2020. I’ve owned 50 cars, and many of them were/are Toyota’s. I bought it for two reasons. First, until the Bronco, it was the only car where you can take off doors, the top and the windshield. Second, it retains 70% of its value over 5 years - more than any other car (including my 4RUNNER). The biggest cost of a new car is depreciation, so the Jeep over five years will likely cost less than most other cars. Having said that, I did purchase an extended warranty.

@@mikesmnell414 I’ve owned my wrangler for 8 years as of next month. It’s been great and LOADS of fun. I’ve had two things break in that time. One radiator hose clamp ($2 to fix) and the rear windshield washer mechanism has a leak. I should probably buy a new one for like $75, but “eh”. Also, I’m about ready for my 3rd windshield but those are free through insurance. Other than that it’s been completely trouble free. I also just upgraded the shocks, springs, wheels, tires, brake pads and rotors. It’s even better now! And it’s resale value is insanely high.

[@AdrnMen]

Wranglers if maintained well hold their value like no other. All depends on how much you abuse your rig.

[@gbmay16]

They really do its nuts. If youre buying a jeep might as well buy new because of this

[@williammiller3277]

@@gbmay16 Thats why me and and my wife got new in 2015. No problem with used in general but the difference was so minimal there wasnt much of a point.

I own a 06 jeep commander v6 with 250k miles on it running like a champ. Ive recently purchased a 2021 jeep gladiator high altitude and i absolutely love it. Has 18k miles and ive owned it since new. Its definitely a head turner. Every car will require repairs to maintain since parts are designed to fail after so many miles. This is how car manufactures continue to make money.

[@Lowzone73]

The MR2 had issues with the oil consumption and damaging the pre-cats, causing them to clog. I have one in right now for parting. the parts for the car are getting difficult to get, but the motor is basically the same 1.8L in the corollas. i just used the coil pack to fix my wifes 01 Corolla S

Hey Scotty, love the videos. I’m a college student and I got an 83 Mazda 626 4-door as a graduation gift. It’s having problems with stalling during idle in drive, for now I’ve been booting it into neutral at stops and revving to minimize the issue. Any suggestions? Love the videos, helps a ton to educate a college kid like me.

[@mdroproductions]

Sounds like a vacuum leak

[@itwasnteveryfloor5038]

It sounds like a fuel issue, check fuel filter, fuel relay, and maybe fuel pump. Im willing to bet is the fuel relay though, i had the same issue.

[@stevencoil9831]

Get a 94 Celica

[@willumfleming9647]

Thanks guys, I’ll see what I can do. It had been sitting for approx 15 years before use so I’m thinking vacuum leak is a decent suggestion. I’ll also check out the fuel relay as well.

[@kkarllwt]

@@itwasnteveryfloor5038 If it runs at highway speed, it is not the fuel filter. Bad filters show up under hard acceleration.

Nothing wrong with Dodge products. At least parts are cheap and they are easy to service. Can’t say the same for Ford or Toyota products.

Bought my first Jeep in 2013, a 2 door Wrangler which maybe short of the Gladiator is the only Jeep model I would even think about. Fast forward to 2021 and I've had no serious or expensive issues with it and it is driven in Erie, PA, perhaps one of the toughest environments on a vehicle in the country. The biggest plus is it's a vehicle I still like after 8 years, and that's better than owning a vehicle I grew to hate, namely the 2007 Toyota Tacoma I had before that despite washing it regularly had a crusty looking frame after 6 years.

Acquaintance still rolling in an 02 or something Chrysler Seebring. Friend still running in an ancient Jeep Grand Cherokee or something handed down to his son...and this in the salt belt. Another one I know, a teenager had his life saved in a highway collision in a much newer Jeep ( and no not his fault), saved by the roll bar.

Most Jeep buyers know of the reliability issues .Knowing of the Endless upgrades availability. More than any vehicle on Earth. What they want is the platform. Easy to work on, width and weight. The personal cars this man owns is proof his opinion is as trustworthy as gas station sushi.

Scotty, on the Chrysler comments. Parents bought a brand new ram truck back in 06-07 Transmission gave out before 50k mikes. Right during the recession. Under warranty and everything, dodge said basically “f*** off you were missing one oil change receipt”. Do not give that company a dime.
