I am selling my Jeep because I just don't have space for it anymore. This truck was purchased by me about 7 years ago so I can get to work in the winter, otherwise it sat in the garage. I bought it off the previous owner at 77k miles and he too had it garaged. I have maintained this truck to the fullest extent from day one to now. Most of the maintenance came around 100k for reliability am fuel efficiency only. These things include front to back: Silverstar headlights and fog lights, aluminum radiator and 185 degree thermostat, external trans cooler, Derale deep cooling trans pan, new shift soiliniods x2 (common problem), new atf +4 fluid flush at 110k, royal purple gear fluid in front diff, new steering stabilizer, accel ignition coil, taylor 8mm wires, champion heavy duty truck spark plugs, K&N drop in air filter just cleaned, both O2 sensors replaced, Mopar performance ECU(very rare), Random technologies high flow cat and Gibson mandrel bent exhaust, (sound amazing), Rear diff was rebuild by previous owner and I have royal purple in it also. Transfer case fluid recently changes with ATF+$ and the A/C was profesionally charged in 2011. New Serpintine belt and pullies at 100k.Previous owner also put in a pioneer Sirus radio in the factory dash slot, fits perfect. New brakes and rotors at 100k, all 4 Bilstien HD shocks at 100k, rear gate shocks both window and gate replaced recently. I also changed the plenum gasket and the Throttle position sensor as well, these are common issues as well. I changed the fuel pump also just for reliability at 100k. Oil changes 10w-30 Valvoline or Mobil one high mileage synthetic. Tires are 75-85% Good Year All season Fortera's rotated every oil change. This truck is extremely reliable, clean and drives solid, no check engine lights, no engine sounds, transmission shifts solid and does not miss a beat, and everything works. I usually get average of 15-16 mpg and get as high as 18.5 mpg on the highway and it drives straight as an arrow and smooth even at higher highway speeds.
This winter was the only time I had to take it out of the garage and it sat most of the winter in my driveway. Since It is a rare truck i feel bad leaving it sit and the minimal use I have for it it is time to go. Since It sat there were a few issues I found this spring. One the rear tail gate started to rust on the bottom, no rust anywhere else on the truck but the tailgate. Second the tailgate switch went bad so the lights flicker on and off, this is a common problem and easy fix. Also the windshield seal is going bad so when the snow melted and some water got in the front floor boards. I read this is a common issue also, dried the mats out and it is fine but the windshield will need to come out. It should be replaced anyway because it has a small ship on it as well. I know this truck like all my cars in and out, there is no other known problems with this car at all. I encourage before bidding to please come look at it and drive it if your serious. If you are not local I also encourage you send a independent inspector to review it before bidding. The car is in Long Valley NJ 07953 and can also be in West Orange NJ 07853. Please call me with any questions Vinny 9738098900. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014
Wed, 09 Jul 2014I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Sergio rethinks FCA-GM merger idea, dismisses critics
Sat, Dec 5 2015After many public overtures, Fiat Chrysler Automotive CEO Sergio Marchionne has claimed his company won't be making a hostile takeover bid for General Motors. This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.
