    Looking for a good Jeep Grand Cherokee Thread

    Oh yes...but if I still had it, not sure I'd part with it unless another was in the running. Crazy value spikes right now. Just crazy...

    Exterior kind of boring

    Wondering if you're "feeling" like the style is mundane because you see so many of them on the road? If that's the problem, no popular mass made machine is gonna satisfy more than a couple years at a time. I see more RAM Gen 4 creative varieties than just about anything else on the road. Make...

    ram 8.4 radio problems, how do i contact ram cares

    800-521-2779 You can google "RAM Cares" for a website, too. I used this number to get my 2018 radio swapped out back in January. They know well of this issue (they won't say that out loud). Make sure to tell them it is malfunctioning and disabling controls as well as ghost entries...

    Great looking resto-rig! Had a '74 CJ-5 for a few years that was like a good running buddy. Tons of fun in that thing...

    Looking for a good Jeep Grand Cherokee Thread

    I have the OBDLink from my days with my Ram 1500. Was a fantastic tool for any modifications and more. Yet to try it on this JGC. Was hoping somewhere was a JGC group running good talk on the use. There's a couple of sites I've found but much less "traveled" or developed from what I've seen...

    Looking for a good Jeep Grand Cherokee Thread

    Picked up a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee this month. Having trouble finding a deep running forum like this one...I think I'm spoiled. Wanting to see what's possible with Alpha-OBD (so far the couple forums I checked barely know about it) and just good running dialogue on the vehicle. Anyone here...

    Question regarding current used vehicle market sales

    You can get a great idea daily on values (private sell, trade, etc) by going online and running thru KBB, Edmunds, Carvana, and Carmax, etc. I've sold 2 vehicles this year (1 traded in and 1 sold outright (my beloved Ram)). Carmax tends to offer the most on cash offer and is all of a 1 hour...

    Trade is high. Just ordered a new wagon.

    For now, I'll take that as good news for us on the seller side with the pricing...thanks.

    Trade is high. Just ordered a new wagon.

    What's the current thinking on how long the bubble holds? I know that's the Captain Obvious magic question. Just looking for what the forecasted thoughts are. I'd like to keep mine til July for some projects but not sure values will hold that many weeks. I'm gonna let my '18 1500 go, take...

    Any of y'all getting offers to buy your late model trucks?

    Just posted this another thread that touched on the subject... I've been getting a hard pull to sell my much loved 2018 the last couple of months. Love my truck but many competing priorities. And, just started a new job and wouldn't you know it, I got a company car in the driveway now to push...

    Maybe time to sell?

    Although already repeating sentiments of many: Wind at your back Ed F on this path. That applies to the other folks responding with similar walks, too. I've been getting a hard pull to sell my much loved 2018 the last couple of months. Just started a new job and wouldn't you know it, I got a...

    No power, key stuck in ignition, wont shift out of park, truck is locked down... help!

    Not contributing anything new here: I'd be all over that battery with a jumpstart. Bad voltage does really screwy things to these vehicles nowadays. After counting that out, start tracking from the battery forward on where else the power is getting lost...but start at that battery including...

    Who has experience with the 4Runner?

    As I was reading your post, was already making ready to to tell ya to hit some 4Runner forums. I'd recommend throwing out there that you're looking at the 18-19 models and curious what the weaknesses may be or what to watch for on specific maintenance items to those. A simple question with a...

    Are $1k worth dealer recommended services not in the manual a scam?

    All part of the dealer service volume sales programs.

    Windshield Wiper Chatter

    It was years ago I tried RainX and used the "Elbow Grease" version. It did a great job of beading and deflecting water as claimed. But I always fought with a foggy film. Sometimes just a nuisance quarter second of glaze after the wiper pass. Other times, a constant film that got downright...
