Great job dad! Another tip, on later Chryslers and Jeeps, you can pull engine codes by turning the key in the ignition on and off three times. Any codes will be displayed in the odometer.
How did you know I was about to start shopping for a used vehicle? This is insanely useful. Thanks so much for making this video. Also, when your college age son will say "I love you" to his dad on camera, you know you've done something right. Good job all around. God bless ya.
I owned my Jeep for 3 years, before I looked for the jack. Lol. It was there and doesn't look like it has ever been used in 24 years. Great surprise for your son!
As a mechanic I would suggest changing the oil in the transfer and axles not just checking it. These two fluids are more often than not overlooked and never replaced.
You are such a great dad Colt to do that for your son. You both were building memories working on the Liberty and giving it to your son I'm sure is a memory he will never forget. Good job my friend. Take care and I'm looking forward to your next video.
I will never be a father (I have been a step dad twice for a few short years @ a time, till I was replaced), for me the best part of this video was seeing your son's surprise & gratitude for you giving him the car. And then @ the end as he drives off he tells you he loves you. I am extremely jealous.
I have my F350 tranny flushed at around 200,000 miles. I read on forums afterwards that you should never flush that tranny. I was worried for a bit, but 40,000 miles later, no issues.
@@lenharding72 i dream of a youtube algorithm that actually works for humanity and promotes work thats useful, well edited/put-together material. instead of trying to compete with ticktock and such. i found this channel from another channel suggesting it. So as far as i have noticed, channels themselves have to verbally recommend other channels. i have not found a single channel I enjoy from youtube itself. every single one has been from word of mouth from real people I know or from the people who curate said channels. the only stuff i get from youtube itself is shallow, useless and redundant content that is 90% fluff and 1% original content with 9% being adds if not more.
Thank-you! Prefect timing. Starting to look for a car for my youngest son also because he has to get to school an hour early every day. Plus it reminded me of stuff I want done to my oldest son's car before he heads off to college 10 hours away. I love the wheeling videos but the every day stuff is great to know too!
For newer vehicles, I always try to bring a phone charger to check all charging ports/ outlets, and check for any phone connectivity issues. I do a lot of longer drives, so those capabilities are something that’s higher on my list.
Very comprehensive list! All good points too 😁 Thanks for sharing your knowledge! The ending was priceless! You're a good dad and he's an excellent son!
Great video Colt, a lot of good information because most people don't think of those things. Those can cost you a ton of money down the road, especially if your not a diy kind of person.
Another area to check is chassis rails or unibody frame to make sure it is straight and has not been in a big accident. Also check blow bye by opening the oil fill cover and see if there is any puffing that suggests heavy crank case pressure as exhaust gasses pass the compression rings in the cylinders. Not good if the blow bye can lift the oil fill cap and make it rattle Everything else you mentioned is pretty good advice.
Was a very good assessment of the standard and same old Jeep problems. You pay your money and take your chances. I bought my Commander knowing its mechanical and electronic problems and slowly worked my way through each problem. I feel confident now in this Commander's reliability of the 4.7 V-8 and the running gear. I understand that 150,000 miles are the factory projected life of the engine and that the engine is typically not rebuildable. So be it this one is at136,000. Enjoy it as long as I can.
One thing I would add if buying from a individual is check for a clear title and serial number match on title from vehicle. Just a good idea to protect your self from major headaches.
Thank you so much for this video. It is so informative of things I didn’t know. That will be a great help because I am looking presently to find another vehicle
Regarding automatic transmission fluids, most transmission build shops will suggest dropping the pan and changing the filter then refill with fresh fluid. Then, once that fluid is circulated for a period of time, change it again. Reason for that is...it doesn't "shock" the bands and friction clutches with new fresh "friction modifiers" all at once which can cause issues that never existed. Flushing the fluid is fine when a new vehicle goes in for its first fluid change at say 5,000 to 10,000 miles as most of the wear occurs during this time period. Then, every 30,000 you can flush or just change what's in the pan. Problems start when a high mileage trans has never had a fluid change and suddenly it goes in for a complete flush, at least that is what most trans builders will say. Also, most vehicles benefit by having a junior or "correction" Trans-Go shift kit installed to take out the known problems that are in the weak OEM design. Most of them can be installed without having to remove the transmission, all access is there once the pan is removed. Then, there are some aux transmission coolers than will benefit some car owners.
Nice post... a couple of things check the oil cap for gray matter and rad cap for exhaust smell and change the thermostat Newer cars have aluminum heads and warp when over heated
I've seen (on another channel) where a 2011 Chevy had a tail light out. Typically it's a bulb issue, but not on that car! You have tp change the entire tail light assembly ($300+ new)! And the newer vehicles are full of neat surprises like this! Also, when you change fluids in an auto trans, you should (especially if the fluid is beat up/burnt) change the trans filter. Dropping the pan will give a good insight into the heath of a transmission also (metal, etc...). Great job on the video! 👍
I'm a winshield wiper fluid/non printed(no ink designs) and un coated paper towel person my self😂(some paper towels have a plastic film sprayed on them to make them stronger) The big roll like you put in the old school manual paper towel dispensers work best imo🤔 Thats enough about towels but clean windows are definitely important! Cool show, lots of good info your a good parent👍
i worked for dodge before the trans flush came out i think the best way to do is have it flushed then change the filters most now have 2 one screw on and one bolt on in the trans pan then you have the chance to wash out any sediments that were left in the oil pan of trans then every other time just flush. there is a magnet in most all pans its a good idea to inspect for particles that way you can catch aproblem sometimes before it gets serious
Bought a 2016 Duramax everything was great except for two things first right rear tire. It was basically bald so i knew the previous owner liked burnouts Second i could see oil on frame and such just could not find leak, Finally one of my gm mechanic's found the issue. The transmission housing near transfer case, fluid was coming thru housing, It was so pouros that it was just coming thru when warm. Thank god for extended warranty.
Bigest thing I struggles with was finding solid frame. Was looking at old J10, Jeep Gladiator, M710, Chevy K10... have a fairly good 1982 K10. Planed on transmission swap, decided to do engine as well. Wish I knew the mechanical clutch became hydraulic in 1984... oh well I will eventually get that swapped also. I was just looking for good bones. Now I'm waiting on my Fiba bone to grow into plate and screws.
Never flush your transmission with any kind of "power flush" it can and will most of the time, from my experience from working at a transmission shop, cause valve body issues in the transmission. Which in turn causes shifting and slipping issues.
Also to state that while checking with a obd2 scanner check your monitor staus. If you have more then two incomplete more then likely the codes where reset and may have a code not being read due to the engine not cycling enough yet. Typically if the o2 sensor is not complete then it was reset in the last 50 miles roughly.
In my experience when flushing the transmission as long as you flush in the direction of flow it's safe, a few machines that aren't sold anymore are designed to back flush, that's when s***happens. Also I'm not sure if it was covered but a fuel filter should always be changed if applicable..
One thing to watch out for on these is the water pumps. I've had my 02 Liberty for almost 10 years now and its been through 4 or 5 water pumps in that time.
All good points BJ. Congrats to your boy / nice surprise Some advice to the novice when purchasing a used vehicle as their primary source of transportation, the first of many things they should consider.., Budget: What is the maximum amount of money a person is willing to spend on a used vehicle, this is also factoring in the cost of Insurance ? Think before you act,, "What exactly are you looking for? Why do you need it and for what purpose will it serve? The type of vehicle should always be a determining factor as well. While a shiny sports car may be appealing to many, not everyone can afford the insurance, the up keep, initial repairs or costly replacement parts. This is in comparison to an ordinary 4 banger 4 door grocery getter. Chrome won't get you home: Don't be fooled or enticed in buying a pig wearing lipstick. They say looks is only skin deep, the same applies to used vehicles. Not all damage is clearly visible Now that you settled on a purchase price of $3,500 as an example... the chances are, it's worth less based on the mileage or because it was rode hard and put away wet. People usually sell off their used vehicles when they start giving them trouble, worn out and costing money, not because of the age. Sellers typically ask more than what a car is usually worth to try and get their money back, so try to haggle there's always room, but only after you first identified and discussed all outstanding issues that come with it. You got what you paid for: If you buy anything in an "As is, Where As" condition, be prepared, you are also legally accepting all the issues that come with it, warts and all....that means all the rust, body filler, dents and every repair between the front and rear bumper that will make it safe and road worthy. There's no coming back...,You don't get to return it and get your back . It also helps by having a second set of eyes, someone with mechanical-know-how to come with you when you go to look at a used vehicle like Bleeping Jeep, people like that are invaluable. They could save you a lot of time and wasted hard earned cash.
I always do a cold start and check for blow-by, and if there is a bunch of additional wires going everywhere under the hood I usually pass on them, electric problems get expensive.
cool we just bought an 05 for the daughter 100k on it had to buy O heck we put in more then we paid but it is a great runner, new tires brake pads etc. battery was the first thing
Agreed...thats one very stupid plan that car owners use when it comes to windshield wipers. Most of them say "I hardly every use them" yet when you do need them and they aren't in good condition, they are worse than not using them. It's like the spare tire, "I rarely need one" yet what happens when you do need one and you are 50 miles from town ? Some people will spend enormous amounts of money just to save $20 for decent set of wiper blades when in a pinch or a spare tire that's flat and a huge tow bill to get one.
People who live in the desert where it rains once a year get a surprise when they need their wipers and the blades have been baking in the heat and UV. I'll never buy a car without a spare because fix-a-flat + a weak air pump don't work on sidewall cuts.
Hi Ithink you should have the cabin filter change to,I just pull the cabin filter out of a 2008 saturn vue xe and it was so full of dirt. The car has 137552 miles on it .
I now its been awhile but i bought a 04 liberty and it had several recalls that weren't fixed yet it might be worth checking into. p.s. i have a vid on it if your interested the local dealer really tried to rip me off. p.p.s thanks for the great vids wish mine were as entertaining.
My buddy just bought a car from a 3rd party, he was told drivers side headlight was out and the owner said he's got the bulb, just need to install it... The bulb they had was the $15 Sylvania basic... But the fuckin car has HIDs!!! So now instead of just changing a bulb, it's $140 for a new HID bulb!!
Are you planning on putting a small lift on that Liberty? The reason I ask is because I am planning on buying a Liberty for my daily because my WJ is getting to the point where its no longer a daily due to emptying my bank account on IRO website lol.
A great vidio, you and your son are spot on.❤❤. One step further on the spare tire, if it was at 14 Lbs. It could have been, ( if you have the tools ), to take the spare tire off and check for leaks, it didn't start out at 14 lbs. When you need a spare and it's back at a level below safe, not a good place to be. Love your tip for news print on glass, l have been freaking people out over that one for like 45 - years plus. Just don't use the shiny paper. Bottle Jack's are 👍great, but wasn't your son holding a sizzer jack? Just wondering, l wasn't pointing out a mistake. Even though? Ahh! 🤔🤭🤫😛. Thanks for the great vidio. You are a great father. ✌🏻🔑, 🌤 🇨🇦 👨🦽 😎.
I want to be the guy that puts his junk up for sale and always sells it for some stupid amount of profit. I'm tired of being the guy that puts 2k into parts before he sells it then makes almost nothing. Anybody in the same boat as me?
I know the feeling. My daily beater just broke and needs probably double its value in repairs but I have a new car coming in two months so I don't want to put any money into it. It's so old and common as to be nearly worthless so any repairs won't raise the value. I guess I'm going to bum rides off family members until it's trade-in time and I can dump it.
@@bleepinjeep lol right. I added a TJ to my collection and put no fault on it only and that was $30 a month. I might put 5k miles on it in a year since it's not my daily.
OK some major coincidences with this video. Number 1 -my 14 year old son could be your kids younger brother. Same expressions, same willingness to get the job done and same great smile. (Blah Blah genetics...) Number 2 - my 18 year old daughter is taking a Liberty off to college this fall. She changes oil and helped swap doors to non-rusty doors, and this summer we are doing suspension upgrade and fixing the radio situation. 3rd coincidence - A neighbors daughter bought her first car - a liberty - all on her own, from a used car dealer, who sullys the name of used car dealer, and didn't even give her some vaseline! She paid the same as we paid for my daughter's Liberty - 14 years ago! I'll be going over her Jeep with her when it dries out a bit and hopefully my daughter will have time to help out. I am sending the neighbor girl a link to this video and hoping my discussion with her after being taken to the cleaners will be reinforced by your video summing up our discussion almost exactly.
Great job dad! Another tip, on later Chryslers and Jeeps, you can pull engine codes by turning the key in the ignition on and off three times. Any codes will be displayed in the odometer.
A whole bunch of good advice, but the most important thing I found was you teaching your son and then surprising him 👍☮️

Very educational. Your son's face illuminated when you told him it was his.
Awesome Video Dad, very cool gift! Teach em early how to do their own maintenance great skills to learn! Love the Channel
I own a KJ also. Looks clean and in great condition. Nice find guys, thanks for this video!
The smile on your son's face was great to watch.
My dad gave me a Pralude out a junk yard and hung out with me as a pulled an Acord engine and modified it to fit. Good times.
i worked for dodge before the trans flush came out i think the best way to do is have it flushed then change the filters most now have 2 one screw on and one bolt on in the trans pan then you have the chance to wash out any sediments that were left in the oil pan of trans then every other time just flush. there is a magnet in most all pans its a good idea to inspect for particles that way you can catch aproblem sometimes before it gets serious
As someone who rebuilt transmissions for a living, the best advice I can give is if it’s a Chrysler product and it has an automatic don’t buy it!
That's very cool, congrats Ian!!!
Bought a 2016 Duramax everything was great except for two things first right rear tire. It was basically bald so i knew the previous owner liked burnouts

Never flush your transmission with any kind of "power flush" it can and will most of the time, from my experience from working at a transmission shop, cause valve body issues in the transmission. Which in turn causes shifting and slipping issues.
Good stuff, Colt! Now I miss my old Libby... 😪
I love your kids reaction hahahaha regards from OZ..
Also to state that while checking with a obd2 scanner check your monitor staus. If you have more then two incomplete more then likely the codes where reset and may have a code not being read due to the engine not cycling enough yet. Typically if the o2 sensor is not complete then it was reset in the last 50 miles roughly.
Thank You for an excellent video. Very educational. I learned a lot.

Also check the cabin air filter. Many of the new cars have those.
I take my kids to that picnic area often! I had a feeling that you lived locally.
One thing to watch out for on these is the water pumps. I've had my 02 Liberty for almost 10 years now and its been through 4 or 5 water pumps in that time.
One other thing is use degreaser first on the inside of the windshield because they may have and/or may not have replaced the heater core.
Cool way to give it to your son. Great vids as always!

Some advice to the novice when purchasing a used vehicle as their primary source of transportation,
the first of many things they should consider..,
Budget: What is the maximum amount of money a person is willing to spend on a used vehicle, this is also factoring in the cost of Insurance ?
Think before you act,,
"What exactly are you looking for? Why do you need it and for what purpose will it serve?
The type of vehicle should always be a determining factor as well. While a shiny sports car may be appealing to many, not everyone can afford the insurance, the up keep, initial repairs or costly replacement parts. This is in comparison to an ordinary 4 banger 4 door grocery getter.

Bottle Jack's are 👍great, but wasn't your son holding a sizzer jack? Just wondering, l wasn't pointing out a mistake. Even though? Ahh! 🤔🤭🤫😛.
Thanks for the great vidio. You are a great father.

if only i had watched this before buying a jeep yj with 950k miles, bent frame, no title, chopped wiring harness and no top for 3k...
Does this one have the transmission that has AWD and off road FWD with lockers, or just FWD?
I get those letters too
I want to be the guy that puts his junk up for sale and always sells it for some stupid amount of profit. I'm tired of being the guy that puts 2k into parts before he sells it then makes almost nothing. Anybody in the same boat as me?
I know the feeling. My daily beater just broke and needs probably double its value in repairs but I have a new car coming in two months so I don't want to put any money into it. It's so old and common as to be nearly worthless so any repairs won't raise the value. I guess I'm going to bum rides off family members until it's trade-in time and I can dump it.
good info, but an early model Liberty with a 3.7L? ooofff
lol I've had ca tell me if i bought anymore id need to get a dealer license been staying with 5 now
Does it have a tow hitch? 'Cause you could give him the AVALONDER to save MUCHO DOLEAROS on College Housing!!!
Can we get tips on affordable insurance when the fleet starts to grow.
Affordable? Is that a word used to describe insurance?? 😳
@@bleepinjeep lol right. I added a TJ to my collection and put no fault on it only and that was $30 a month. I might put 5k miles on it in a year since it's not my daily.
OK some major coincidences with this video.
Number 1 -my 14 year old son could be your kids younger brother. Same expressions, same willingness to get the job done and same great smile. (Blah Blah genetics...)
Number 2 - my 18 year old daughter is taking a Liberty off to college this fall. She changes oil and helped swap doors to non-rusty doors, and this summer we are doing suspension upgrade and fixing the radio situation.
3rd coincidence - A neighbors daughter bought her first car - a liberty - all on her own, from a used car dealer, who sullys the name of used car dealer, and didn't even give her some vaseline! She paid the same as we paid for my daughter's Liberty - 14 years ago! I'll be going over her Jeep with her when it dries out a bit and hopefully my daughter will have time to help out. I am sending the neighbor girl a link to this video and hoping my discussion with her after being taken to the cleaners will be reinforced by your video summing up our discussion almost exactly.
