have my transmission fluid changed, belt replaced (maybe), to have my tie rods looked at cuz their grease boots are torn, and possibly any other fluids that might need replacing (transfer case, diffs). im sure its easy to do these things but ive never done any of them and they were gonna let me watch them take care of it so I wouldnt have to come back to them for the same things.
I get there and we check all fluids. they tell me that the transmission fluid is ok and that in a Cherokee it doesnt really need to be changed until about 70,000 miles regardless of what my owners manual states. they said all my other fluids were ok also until later/more miles.
then to the belt. its got a couple cracks so they said to run that until its really showing wear.
then they looked at my tie rods and the grease boots on them. on both sides the boots have holes in them. they said not to worry about it and that as long as I shoot some grease in there every time I change the oil I should be ok. but what about salt gettin in there? its supposed to snow this week.
so I was planning on spending some money and ended up spending nothing. they told me that they wouldnt take money from me for things I didnt need and that a Cherokee motor is an amazing product that needs little maintenance except for plugs and oil, of course. other than that it can handle tons of abuse which im sure alot of you know already.
I really appreciated their honesty and wanted to know what you all think about what they have told me...
