This is an amazing two owner Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. It was originally owned by a woman in California and then I bought it from a dealer down there and sold to a friend of mine in town here. He owned it for less than a year but decided it didn't fit his needs as well as he had hoped. He intended to drive it year round but decided that it was too nice of a vehicle to drive in Montana winters and then purchased an older Chevrolet pickup to drive during the winter. The Chevrolet broke down on him on the highway here a month or two ago and he decided that it didn't make any sense to have an unreliable older vehicle for the months that you need a very reliable vehicle up here. He traded both vehicles off on a four door Dodge Ram 1500.

My friend is meticulous with his vehicles. He purchased the vehicle when it had 40000 miles on it and he wasn't positive if she had done all the maintenence to it that is required at 30,000 miles so he had my dealership (a Jeep dealer) do all the required work. He had the oil changed (with 0/40 synthetic Mobil), front and rear axle fluids, transfer case fluid and spark plugs all done on 5/16/2013 when the vehicle had 40033 miles. He had the oil changed again and the transmission fluid and filter replaced on 8/15/2013 when the vehicle had 43187 miles. We used all Mopar recommended parts and fluids that are required for the SRT vehicle. He just put on new Toyo Proxes tires all the way around and they have under 1,500 miles on them. He installed a Mopar Cold Air intake during the summer as well. He only drove it once or twice in bad weather and decided he didn't want to subject it to it.

The only bad thing on the whole vehicle is on the liftgate the first owner had a cell phone antenna installed and drilled a hole in the panel. My friend removed the antenna and installed the Mopar emblem to cover it up.

If this Jeep isn't one of a kind it's one of very few, it sounds great, the interior is immaculate, and the attention to detail the second owner gave to the vehicle is impossible to miss. This vehicle was his baby and you can tell the second you look at it.

NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.

Chrysler says its 8-speed transmissions will save 700 million gallons

Thu, Jun 19 2014

Chrysler Group's TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission could be earning some serious green bragging rights if the company's projections are correct. The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons. According to Chrysler, and depending on the vehicle, the TorqueFlite can improve fuel economy. The TorqueFlite autobox features particularly close ratios from fifth to eighth gear (see the press release below for the specific numbers), and uses low-viscosity fluid that doesn't need to be replaced. Transmission software adapts to the driving situation to optimize efficiency based on driver behavior, temperature, grade, stability control, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. As evidenced by the wide range of vehicles Chrysler Group has seen fit to equip with the eight-speed transmission, the TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. Since its 2012 introduction, the TorqueFlite has gone from performing cog-swapping duties in Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 to changing gears in vehicles such as the Pentastar- and Hemi-powered Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and even the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. For the 2015 model year, the eight-speed is finding its way into even more vehicles with the addition of a third version. In addition to the American-made TorqueFlite 845RE and 8HP70, the new 8HP90 will be manufactured in Saarbrucken, Germany. The 8HP90 is designed for higher torque loads, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles like the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The already-in-use 8HP70 will expand its duties to be used in 2015 Hemi models such as the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Challenger SRT8. You can see the list of those benchmarks in Chrysler's press release below.
