Information
Looking to sell. 204,000 Miles. Army Green metalic. All Original, loved, Leather interior, sunroof. Not limited so not bluetooth. Mostly has been in Florida. Great condition.
Was going cross country, had dealership go over before leaving. New filters, fluids, brakes, Tiger Tires. $2,000. Just about ready to go. Bill(S.O) came home and it was smoking. No lites. Turned off at home and wouldn't start.
Hold on, long story.
Took back to dealership, we thought needed new starter. Starter fried but not cause, said engine seized. It would rotate counter clock wise, only. We really ?'ed. Tried to sell with no working motor. Best Offer. A great mechanic, came over to make an offer. He ? if was alternator. Had seen this happen before. He asked if Ok to cut serpantene belt. We hesitated but OK. He cut and not seized. He saved my Jeep!, from needing new motor. We paid him, for time & help, was so kind, but now we wanted to keep. We had already purchased another vehicle.
Not over yet!!!!!!
Our friend wanted to buy it so paid to have all put back together.
New Starter, Alternator, Serpantene belt. $2,000. Got registered, title transfer, plates in MA. Was driving home registry and started bucking real bad, almost died but then straightened out. Engine light on. Went to Auto Store for Computer code check. P1451 & 1452. ? Deisel particulate filter. Could need catalytic converter??? He asked for money back so we gave back. It had Florda registration. Now has MA. Which will need inspection and will not pass.
Anyone familiar with anything like this???? This is not a scrapper, however, financially it is.
Enlighten me if you can. Looking for an answer beside towing back to Florida when we return. Maybe it will drive there. Will be driving more to see if maybe ran badly to get rid of carbon? Now OK??? Wishful thinking.
I still love this Jeep. Always made it home.
