Why You Should Buy A Jeep Grand Cherokee (2005- 2010)

[@lstruggy]

May 07 jgc laredo v6 3.7 just surpassed 227K and she still runs like brand new!

[@bobsilver3983]

I'm looking at an 06 tomorrow with 44,000 miles...but it $11500!!!

[@lstruggy]

@@bobsilver3983 very nice! if u do pull the trigger just make sure ur on top of all the preventative maintenances and you’ll be fine 👍🏽 mine has 232k now will driver till the wheels falls off! lol

[@jasonp364]

Have a 06 3.7 v6. 189k miles bought used. Great car. No problems minus clunk in rear differential when downshifting. I’ll drive it till it dies

[@josharuni547]

That’s awesome glad it still works out

[@southwestvajeeper5106]

Slight corrections. The 5.7 WK can tow up to 7,500 LBS, not just 4,000. Also, both V8 engines came with a 100% American 545RFE transmission, not a Mercedes transmission. The transmission behind the 3.7 V6 was partially Mercedes. I Definitely agree these are great SUVs, though. Had a WJ 4.7 that reached 337,596 miles before it was sold. Super reliable vehicles.

[@justindaniels17]

That's alot for the 4.7 I'm surprised it didn't drop a seat

[@southwestvajeeper5106]

@@justindaniels17 If its maintained right and never overheated that many miles isn't surprising for a 4.7. They are really good, solid motors.

I have a 2004 I'm fixing up, I-6 4.0. Had it for many years and love it, only 130K, but if I were to upgrade in years without buying a new car I'd be looking at one of these WKs. I really like the way the limited trim looks on these vehicles. I'd definitely put LEDs on the low beams right away. An advantage to getting one of these vehicles as opposed to a WK2 (2011+) is mechanically it's probably less complicated and less expensive to repair. Thank you for this overview. Nice rig!

[@josharuni547]

Yeah my dad just bought another wk with the 5.7 that’s his fith one. I have a video on his second one. He had a 2011 and hated it. The 3.6 lorado just had a lot of issues.

[@josharuni547]

I even have a video I meant to put up. But it’s an older Jeep he doesn’t have. I could still post it, but idk if it’s worth it. It’s comparing the exhaust notes.

[@frankploger5146]

got the same car with 4.7L love it

[@125southernnh2]

Lovin' my 2008 Overland. Replaced some normal stuff over 125k but she still runs strong and smooth.

Great buy

Nice Jeep my dad has the 06 grand Cherokee, and brother has a 06 Jeep commander. They are not Toyotas but if you take care of it they do last.

[@H1storybr3akdown]

@@chitosmito sold mine at 194k miles nothing was wrong with it just made an upgrade, still the best suv ive owned

[@mattgehrke]

I have a 2005 Jeep cherokee Laredo rocky mountain edition. With the 4.7 v8 has 240,000 miles burns a bit of oil but still runs strong.

[@josharuni547]

That’s awesome, my dad just bought a 2009 with the 5.7 and it’s around the same miles. And it runs like a beast. 4.7 does burn oil but if you can keep up with it, your good.

[@ziadmouad5889]

i love this jeep i hope i buy one soon More jeep wk videos please👍

[@josharuni547]

Your wish is my command

[@RobertSpiller]

I may be buying an 05 in a few days...I just hope that I can get some good gas mileage out of it,

[@devontaeking2758]

I love me some Jeep Grand Cherokee either a v6 or v8 I'll take it anyday😍😍

[@PunisherPrime81]

These are good vehicle's. Ive had my 2010 awhile now same color with the 5.7 and i only have 59,000 original miles . Hard to find them with low miles anymore

[@bobsilver3983]

I'm looking at a 06 with 44,000 miles on it tomorrow

[@vingtsun1952]

i have an ’07 JGC with 3.0l diesel! Better deal than $50,000 wrangler!! QD 2 works great on trails...

[@josharuni547]

Oh heck yeah worth it. Plus you can make it much more powerful, and better on trails. If you wish.

[@DroidTSK]

I had the same vehicle. It had an awful gas mileage but it was a pretty good car.

[@elliotthaskins5923]

This type of model the inside door handles break because of the cheap plastic that holds the door handles that you have to roll down the windows an open from the outside door it really makes a death trap if you have to get out in emergency Chrysler should have have this as a recall

[@josharuni547]

Damn good to know I never had a clue about that. I know some doors handles cables break. But that’s as far as I know

[@Hemi_all_day]

Nice ride man. I love my 07' Grand Cherokee. I've had some issues. Keep getting a P0884 code. I replaced the computer but still get the code. I'm all in on mine so I'll figure that out. Was wondering where you got the Diablo tune. I'd like to get that for mine. Keep rockin it brother and thanks for the great video.

[@paulcharest573]

Nice truck

[@josharuni547]

Thanks 👍

[@redhandedreviews3482]

Hey this is josh..and i got 1 and modded it...my only suggestion replace plugs and the clevis bolts..

[@josharuni547]

I’ll keep these mind. How are the improvements with those add on. I know my manifold bolts could be replaced or tightened

[@redhandedreviews3482]

@@josharuni547 the bolts are common...my buddy had to replace his twice...said it is caused from bad motor, or trans mounts..allows the exhuast to flex with bad bushings or mounts..and it flexes with enough force to cause header botls to break ...now improvments..a 2 inch budget boost gave me 6 inches of lift in front and leveled it in the back..to about 4 inches lift in rear...new upper jba control arms skyjackers in the rear..larger traveling shock..i go offloading with it and it surprised the hell out of me what i was doing in it with crappy 33 inch tires.

[@josharuni547]

@@redhandedreviews3482 oh wow. I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll have to get mine done and maybe new mounts. I’m trying to make it faster on the performance side of things. But maybe a leveling kit we will see

@@josharuni547 buy the flashpac superchips..best bang for your buck but get exhuast and cia or snorkle

[@angelofelix2152]

Thanks for this video. I just bought a 2010 with 117,000 on the dashboard. What’s the first thing I should in reference to mechanical work?

[@josharuni547]

Keep an eye on the oil. And check for any leaks, also keep an eye on the antifreeze. Only thing that can go wrong quickly is the hubs

[@jopeterson1211]

Him many miles you have when you bought it... 6k is a good price... Looking for one myself with the 5.7

[@josharuni547]

It was at 170 I’m pretty sure it’s definitely worth it but the gas prices kill me. I want to keep it but in school, and with commute for work is insane.

[@redhandedreviews3482]

It tows more than that..mine tows over 6 thousand

[@alanwindeknecht5606]

I'm thinking about getting one 5/7 4wheel drive but I'm sure gas ⛽ sucks

[@josharuni547]

It’s god awful. But we don’t buy em to be good on gas, but it helps.

[@DroidTSK]

Yeah, I had the 3.0 Diesel and even with this engine the gas mileage was terrible

[@potato-x12]

Did you have to take it to a shop with a dyno for the tune? Would like to get my jeep tuned as well.

[@josharuni547]

It’s ultimately up to you, I have bought a Diablo tube and installed it myself which is not very hard. But that’s a very basic tune. If you want more professional and performance based tune, then a shop might be better. Personally I’m afraid the dyno would blow the motor lol.

[@potato-x12]

@@josharuni547 Thanks for the reply bro! I'll look into the Diablo 2 as well since I have a pretty basic setup as well.

[@khudson4901]

Run from Jeep. JUST EMPTY EVERY POCKET someone else said. There right constant major issues. All there engine are garbage. Known for transfer case Recalls. Overheating, blowing head gaskets left and right. Misfires on the number 3 cylinder. Gas tank problems, leaking seals. Stalling while driving, stuck on third gear. The ol unplug the cables from the computer trick...might help. Terrible TIPM design inconjunction with electrical issues. Poor ground problems, the YELLOW WIRE Starter jiggle trick. High weather elements exposure to electrical. Corrosion. That's across most models any year passed 2000. Recalls, Lawsuits, etc. Maybe a view we're lucky, but I'm not convinced. Additionally, when the itialians announced no more support. Dont have parts for the newer model. 🫣 There cheap and that's what you get. Don't buy used or new. I'm not sure if you can sell it to anyone.

[@josharuni547]

Still running fine and my dads is the same but we’ll keep it in mind
