PaulSchott Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Have you had her a long time or is it a recent acquisition? A service history would be interesting. Welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keh Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have it about3 months. Bought it off a little used car lot. It had 202100 miles.I put it on a lift and it is absoulety dry.I ran a car fax for historyand it was involved in a small rear ender about 5 years ago.everything looked ok. The previous 3 owners had most all of the maintaince performed includingcoolant fhishes,etc. The paint is amazing as it is the Orange Crush color .It has the premium black cloth and clean as a pin. I changed the oil with high mileage synthetic and the engine purrs like a new one.The only issues I have had is the compass mirror is inaccurate and a used one is on the way and a dirtycabin filter,whichI cleaned with soap and water.It even had fairly new tires. It sat on the lot for a long time .I believe buyers were afraid of the high mileage. In my opinion,It rides much better than theGrand Cherokees I have owned and gets much better mileage.Currentluy it gets 18 around town and about 22-23 on the highway.

chefduane Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Flush and fill all fluids - oil/filter, coolant, ATF, etc.. Do a suck and fill on the brake reservoir and the PS fluid, new air filter and cabin air filter, and she should be good to go. Jack her up and wiggle her ball joints to she if she shimmies maybe (!). I might run a bottle or two of Techron through at the next few fill ups but other than that........ Enjoy!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSchott Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 My 2007 had a screen and not a pollen filter on the A/C. Just a wash once every 6 months is perfect. at 200,000 miles it may also be ready for another plug change. There is a way to calibrate the compass. It isn't letting me copy and paste the instructions but they are in the owners manual on page 100 thru 101. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Compass display (if equipped)Select this function from the INFO menu. Press the INFO buttonrepeatedly until the Compass and Odometer are displayed. (Do notselect Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message center must be blank).The compass reading may be affected when you drive near largebuildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magneticor metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affectcompass accuracy.Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass willcorrect itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normalconditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manualcalibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass zone/calibrationadjustment.Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point thatvaries slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is fourdegrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as thevehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate thiserror. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.Compass zone/calibration adjustmentPerform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures andhigh voltage lines.For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/airconditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.1. Turn ignition to the RUN position.2. Start the engine.3. Press the INFO button repeatedly until the Compass and Odometerare displayed. (Do not select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the messagecenter must be blank). Note: If the compass displays CAL 000000.0 mi instead of headinginformation, the compass will need to be calibrated. Slowly drive thevehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until the CAL indicatorchanges to display compass heading. This may take up to 3 circles tocomplete calibration.4. Determine your magnetic zone byreferring to the zone map.5. Press and hold the RESET untilthe message center display changesto show the current zone setting.6. Release the RESET control, thenslowly press RESET down again.7. Press the SETUP controlrepeatedly until the correct zonesetting for your geographic locationis displayed on the message center. To exit the zone setting mode pressand release the RESET control.8. Press the RESET control to startthe compass calibration function.9. Slowly drive the vehicle in acircle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h])until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TOCALIBRATE indicator changes toCALIBRATION COMPLETED. Thiswill take up to three circles to complete calibration.10. The compass is now calibrated. Edited May 5, 2017 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
