He said the check engine light is on because of a temperature sensor for something, but hell if that's all that is wrong with it i'll buy it! it looks good to me, if all is good when i go to look at it thursday then i'll buy it. he is bringing it to the lot thursday morning for me Quote
88red4cyl Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Just make sure you check the coolant for oil and the oil for coolant since its got the 3100.. Other than that it looks nice! Quote
dylan1630 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 Did they have a problem or something? Quote
88red4cyl Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Did they have a problem or something? The 3100 (and subsequently the 3400) had plastic lower intake manifold gaskets that fail over time. Unless it has already been replaced with the revised metal gaskets, it will fail at some point and either coolant gets in the oil (seems to be the most common result), oil gets in the coolant, or it leaks externally (which mine did). Just make sure that the coolant and oil are clean (and also look for external leaks around the lower intake) and you should be good to go. Quote
AL Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 if its just a temp sensor causing the light, then they would have fixed it... just sayin Quote
MemphisMan Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 I was thinking the same thing Al. Quote
88red4cyl Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Unless its the kind of dealer I was going to buy the grand cherokee from where they just buy crap and resell it problems and all... Quote
