Rub up your engines!
What do you think about the G 2015 or so? Jeeps are becoming trendy! Whould I get an automatic transmission? Well, personally I would not buy one.
Jeeps are made by Chrysler. Christ bought by Fiat
Now a lot of people are really getting confused! You know as you say this is trendy, while people watch ads things become trendy, doesn't mean it makes any sense! Like those ads they have Renegade Jeep. Renegade Jeep isn't a Jeep it's a fancy four-wheel-drive Fiat 500. It's a fancy four-wheel-drive Fiat. It has nothing to do with Jeep. It's just they decided to sell their stuff and call it a Jeep. And the quality of those things to little history lesson. Research Fiat and the problems they've had and you'd see Jeep.
I don't think I'm gonna buy a Fiat I mean I read recently that Fiats even contemplating not selling Fiats in the United States. They're not gonna get rid of the Chrysler Fiat merger. But, they're gonna stops they might be stopping selling Fiats because they have such low sales. That the slider men like they'll say well. Thiis is a Chrysler 200, as well it's got a Fiat engine, Fiat transmission, someone that Alfa Romeo engine, send them it's Italian stuff, it's not Chrysler at all.
So, you know I would not buy a modern-day Jeep. If you want a Jeep get an old one and it's been fixed up or fix it up yourself. Those old ones that had the straight six, I worked on a Grand Cherokee was a 86 still ran like a clock. Scottie, what do you think of the older TDI? Okay well TDI, you know you're talking about turbo Diesel's yes it's a brand that's been making them for a long time, they're very reliable diesels are inherently reliable engines, if they're made right they're stronger made, because they have more compression. They don't have an ignition system so they're simpler but the one thing about diesels are is they don't have that much acceleration they have torque once they get going but not acceleration.
And that's why they turbocharged diesel engine. The first people that really mass producing that stuff was Mercedes with a 300D. The 300D was a big heavy car and it could go and last a long time but really slow with a 5-cylinder diesel engine.
Soon as they made them with turbos, they sold a lot more of them, because there's a lot more pickup. If they're well made, they can last a long time. Most diesel trucks these days the big ones are turbocharged they have to because they're pulling a lot of weight and that's the only way they can get accelerations by sticking turbochargers on.
And as long as this company that's made them for years, they can be very dependable vehicles.
Jackson McNichols my Ford Ranger shifts into fourth gear at about 2,000 RPM when all the other times it shifts at about 37. How can I fix that? Ok, well your transmission is just basically wearing. It should shift before 3,700 RPM into the other gears.Is's just old age now.
Tthe problem is it's a Ford and it's old. If you do change the filter and fluid now it can actually make it worse, so my advice would be take one 1/4 of transmission fluid out. Put in one 1/4 of automatic transmission additive and sometimes that'll make it shift normally through the whole range. But hey! It's still shifting! and if it's running okay - I wouldn't complain too much on something that's that all because eventually it would have to be rebuilt and that cost a lot of money, and if it's still working, and you might be able to get years out of a few babies. But do try taking 1/4 out and putting 1/5 of Lucas automatic transmission.
Be visual, if it's really all you'll see that the wires are copper and then they're coated with a plastic coating if the plastic coating if you bend it and it cracks and rips you're gonna have to replace all that worrying because it's just going bad."

My of autokwix.com subscribers - Eric Chesser - decided to do a live podcast about changing a truck Engine on this 2007 Silverado 1500 beast
Transcript:
"What's up everybody!
Welcome to a new podcast which is dedicated 100% to putting a new engine or maybe used engine in my 99 Chevy Silverado pickup truck.
For those of you who follow on social media me you know recently that my truck broke down the engine. That engine thing had like 240,000 miles on it I got my money's worth out of that pickup truck, but it was in great shape other than that. So I decided to put an engine in it and I've been debating on whether to buy a new engine is a lot more expensive or find used engine. So I put up a video on my Instagram page (by the way, if you guys aren't following me on instagram go check me out there). This is the first time I've ever dealt with it and that's exactly why I wanted to make this podcast because I figured if I'm going through this podcast could probably help somebody else who's probably going to do the same - change truck engine.
I'm going to a pick and pull type of business the owner contacted me and said he's got a nice engine already pulled ready to go and if I need it he'd sell it to me. So, I'm gonna go take a look at it and see how it is my destination is on the left it's called Utah Pic-a-part (website: utpap (dot) com)
Yeah, yeah... I know, I know... here we are Utah Pic-a-part this is up in Ogden Utah gotta meet up with a guy named Davey he is one who contacted me and when I go take a look at this engine and explain you guys see what we got here take a look engines galore these are all the 5.3 liter Chevy pickup engines this one is the pasta bill possible one I might pick up here it had less than a hundred thousand miles on it had what front end damage on it. And it was turned in by the way this is Dave and his family own and operate Pic-a-park your top pick a part right so this is their Ogden location this stuff is interesting to me.
I am NOT a mechanic whatsoever so this looks like a lot of work to me but apparently a lot of people buy these at least probably won't be here for very long so yeah this old pickup art business is pretty interesting I've been asking Dave a lot of questions we've been chatting about the place and the whole operation and how like something like this works it's crazy you crash your car and ends up in a tow truck or in a tow yard. And then your insurance claims that is totaled and what a lot of them end up somewhere like here.
Yeah these are $50,000 trucks a couple years ago mm-hmm they're a couple hundred dollar trucks laying in a junkyard. That's crazy! Whole row is a bunch of Chevy pickups GMS, Silverado's! What's crazy! Some of these cars that are considered considered total by the insurance company which has a lot to do with their mileage and how much it would cost to fix. They are in really good shape, like that one in the corner just got dropped off obviously.
If you, guys, need any parts for your vehicles I think we found the spot for you they probably have what you're looking for so it just so happens that the engine I need is like the one of very few that you ever even pull. I've got my truck back it's running strong I used it quite a bit throughout the hunting season and as I took it back to Dave just to kind of tune up a few small things he decided that, if I had time, I should bring it to him because he wanted to fix the grill, and, maybe, touch up a few things for me. So I gave him the green light told him I'd you know invested a little bit more money to fix the grill and the things that had busted in the past during a time that I had actually hit an owl on the highway to my knowledge.
I put new parts into it so I got a whole list of parts but I would say that I'm into this about 2,500 bucks and to me it's worth it because I absolutely love this truck.
I want to show you guys the new and improved version of my truck I'm gonna go pick it up tomorrow so I've got this podcast done I'm gonna upload it tonight launch.
Thanks to Dave for hooking it up on the engine!
Super great guy and I'm absolutely thankful for him and his family service to find me a good reliable engine and also Chris - his mechanic thank you for all your help. I just want to say thanks to everyone who helped me out"
