But I must admit I have slipped workin this dang 3rd shift and not having a garage to play in at night on the weekends :roll:

Gotta get a very very good preppin for winter done and done soon :shock:

Firebird-- Starter went out, 115K miles.
Tahoe- Fuel pump went out- 130K miles
I won't complain about either of those, normal wear items, I could only hope Jeep parts last that long.

And for all the "wonderful Jeep" comments....the oil light came on this morning when I started it, 71K miles and it's full....
Soooo stick that where the sun doesn't shine :goink:

I would say that you are looking at a new pressure sender switch, mine went out around 60k. It will certainly wake you up when it pops on when you cold start it while on your way to work :shock:

which was when I noticed mine.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 3:59 pm

KJ's got nearly 90k on it, no oil pressure sender switches, or fuel pumps, or starters going out.

... and not much else for that matter.

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 6:24 pm

Waiting for Tahoe to post up what each one costs to repair
bet the Jeep is still cheaper :ROTFL:

teckman02 · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 6:33 pm

i know so many people that drive GM crap and all i hear is how much problems they have with them

and I work for GM and i can't stand there crap

TAHOE · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2011 10:46 pm

Yeah I've been thinking, I guess I really can't complain about the Jeep. I mean really, I should expect that a 70K mile/ 6 year old vehicle to need the following...
Suspension rebuild cause it's shot @ 70K, i.e. Shocks/springs/clevis bushings/probably needs stabilizers too
Can't roll windows down cause of busted regulators
Oil light is now coming on intermittently
Who needs different speeds on the heater, High is just fine....blower resistor :roll:

I thought you were supposed to have to move the gear shift in/out of park repeatedly so it would start, what was thinking. :roll:

Seats that get white stains if the humidity is over 70%, why would I want nice seats?? :roll:

Transmission that shudders in reverse, supposed to do that right :roll:

The rear window is supposed to rattle and squeak :roll:

So yeah you all are right, no way my original GM 130K mile/12yr old fuel pump can compare to the 70K pile we call the Liberty. Guess we just got the lemon :roll:

Can I get those "Jeep is great" hallucinogens on the street or are they just available at Chrysler dealers :goink:

$118 for starter
$181 for fuel pump

Shocks and one window regulator for Liberty will beat that easily, not to mention mine are both paid off. :SOMBRERO:

I'm not arguing with you all, I hang out here cause I've learn alot and you guys are fun, the Libby is the wife's, that's what she wanted. I grew up GM, had a mix of the Big 3, yes, even a few fords( happens with Father in law's ford discount), we had a Subaru for a bit too, but I will go back with GM. My GM's have been the most reliable, easiest to work on, and lasted the longest, I will stick with what I know. Of all the vehicles I/We have owned, the Libby ranks up there or should I say down there in fit/finish/ride with the '85 Escort my wife had which isn't saying much. I will admit it is a capable 4x4, has a great turning radius, but the quality is super lacking. I can only hope we get 100K before something major happens. My distaste isn't helped by the '94 Cherokee we had which developed a low end motor knock with 65K on it...the 4.0L was supposed to last forever I thought :dizzy:

Had that puppy for 4 months before it went bye-bye
I'm glad you all love yours, ours is like the thorn in the side for me, but if momma is happy with her car, oh I'm sorry, her cute ute, then we all are happy, case closed.

My next one will be an 84-87 Square body GM 3/4 ton with 350 or 454 maybe 4 speed, lifted 4-6" with 35's and gets super crappy gas mileage and loud exhaust :mrgreen:

screw this SUV stuff :SOMBRERO:

Tahoe

Copying this over here for those of my Lost friends who don't follow me on FB

Hit a deer tonight on the way up SR 64 in swanton! :shock:

Smoked him good too! I was in my wifes Cadillac doing about 60 when a whole herd? (4-5) came out of Oak Openings Metropark woods and started jumping across the road right in front of me!! :shock:

I didn't get huirt but the deer ....... well the Trooper told me he'd put him down and to go on about my business.
I pulled over about 1/4 mile up the road to check the car then went back. A lady back behind me somewhere had called it in to 911 and said it was on the ground in the road so a State Trooper showed up just 10 - 15 minutes later, and he's the one I talked to. By the time I got back there the deer was gone but the trooper said he would try and locate it and put it down so it wouldn't suffer. Dam nice looking buck too! I think I saw 6-8 points as he went across my hood and past my windshield and window!
I stopped by Tom's and he let me pull a non-Jeep product in his garage to check it out! :shock:

Dented the hood pretty good, scraped up the bumper, broke the trim around the DS headlight and the headlight is loose. I think the bracket in back of it is broken. Overall ..... not bad for a Cadillac with a plastic bumper!!

KJWildman · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2011 1:01 am

OOPS!

Sorry! I hope I'm not reinforcing Tahoe's love of GM products!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2011 1:29 am

I do make exceptions to the "Nothing But Jeep " rule at times Larry :ROTFL:

Hood is no longer nice and smooth for sure :ROTFL:

but not bad considering ................

TAHOE · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:36 am

Larry, that would've been a hunting Cadillac in my area, would've told trooper, no, don't you worry, I will take care of it....bambi would've been strap to roof as I drove home :jester:

/
Firebird is running as of last night, Tahoe will be running by noon. Then to work the piece of junk Ford Church van in my drive....why did I draw the short straw to have to work on that thing :dizzy:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2011 1:29 pm

and now a Ford as well :shock:

Oh no will Tahoe survive ????

TAHOE · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2011 7:57 pm

Starter for Firebird.... Check/running
Fuel pump for Tahoe...Check/running
Neutral safety switch & Alternator for Ford Van...Check/running.

Man, if I was only making dealer labor charges :banghead:

What a way to spend my day off, I was supposed to be fabrication my winch/snow blade mount on the tractor.

No, why waste good oil in the Liberty :goink:

I actually had a coworker who wanted my used oil....so he could put it in his Ford minivan. He was dead serious when he told me he just added more oil when it got low and he was too cheap to buy a new quart. :dizzy:

Wierd too, he got almost 200K miles on that stupid thing.
