In this video I'll go over my list of things you should do right away after you buy a used car. When buying a used car, you never really know what you are getting so you should do a few maintenance items right away, including Changing all the fluids (antifreeze, gear oil, oil, tranny fluid, clutch fluid, etc.), Greasing the entire vehicle (including the tie rod ends, ball joints, u-joints, and all zerk fittings), Doing a tune-up including (a new fuel filter, new cap and rotor, spark plugs, plug wires, air filter, etc), and checking things like (radiator hoses, heater hoses, brake pads, belts, shocks, and wiper blades). It's a big list but necessary after purchasing your new used car.

You forgot changing your blinker fluid every 5k miles
Thanks for creating this list. I was gifted a 1999 Cherokee that has been maintained well but since it has 190K miles, it needs some additional work.
Yeah the diffs. My bad. Thanks for replying to my question. I'll give it a go this weekend. I was just concerned with the thickness of the gasket with the lockers.
Great video and although I knew some of the stuff it's cool you did a reminder video
we would never make fun of you!!!! i love all these videos. always something neat
Good video! Something I'd do is run Sea Foam through the fuel and the oil when you get it (And change your oil as soon as it is circulated enough.)
No I get ya, I just added it up and for the Cherokee if you DIY you could easily do all those things for slightly under $200. Other cars may vary depending on the oil you select, spark plug types, rareness, etc.
BleepinJeep a small price to pay to make sure your car is safe and RELIABLE
Dang, that is in depth but all good checks
Very informative thank u
Tanks I recently got a 97 ZJ and yours vids are a treasure, had a short in the tail lights any suggestions greetings from México
thanks for the sub... are you referring to a chilton manual?
please do more videos like this but I just bought a land rover defender td5 2007 did all of this on the video and remap and checkup
Thanks for that.. love from India bro.. it was very useful
Thanks for the info
great video thanks man
Be sure to do just general technical/mechanical research on the car you're interested in. I.E. my sisters ford Taurus doesn't have a cap and rotor or axle shaft u-joints, like my Comanche does
thanks a lot , i bought used car today and i check it like your list
good vid , on my holden rodeo ( isuzu pickup ) there are no grease fittings on the ball joins etc
Just in time then... good luck!!
You are one hell of a funny guy, I hope one day I can get down to the trails you crawl and run into you(not in our rigs of course) and have a ball.
finally got me an xj a couple days ago...now time for all this!!...
hey Mat good tips...
jeep specially cherokees require a special diff gear oil ..you should define what type or where to get it..
Also the standard transmission what type of oil is recommended by manufacturer and what other proven offroad oil is recommended ?
might want to contact ox and ask them, they are pretty good at getting back with you. not sure if it says anything about this in the instructions.
ive heard that for a specific make... i forget which one it was.
thank you
yep, sometimes I have to watch my own videos to remind me of things too!
true dat
no prob
I like your entry into the video , it's got some humor .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'll try to spice it up for the video on Monday... just for you!
yup, I only buy and install wiper blades in the pouring rain!
I wish i changed my tcase fluid. it had extreme water contamination and i didnt know bout it and lost a bearing in it. so in a couple weeks in goes a salvage t case in a brand new used jeep.
thanks!
I usually get high temp red lithium grease
very true, but this is something I would check before buying, not after
i'll assume you mean the diffs and not the transfer case. Everyone I know uses RTV but no, I dont see any reason a factory gasket would be a problem.
When changing the fluids in the tranfer cases I want to replace the gasket with the factory gaskets as opossed to using rtv type. My concern is that I have OX lockers on the front and rear. Will the factory gaskets interfere with the lockers function when everything is back together? 97 Wrangler
No, its just a cherokee under the cab with a frame welded on after the cab for the truck bed to sit on... so the bed will come off but not the cab.
much less than replacing anything that may break from not doing these things...
danke
I just got my used car and this all seems very logical but very expensive at the same time. I know it depends on the car but how much would you say this all costs?
Cool, I wasn't being whiney and I understand how you can't hear my tone in typing but I actually am curious as to a number amount because I plan to actually do all these things you suggest.
Mat I have a 97 xj does the 4.0s timming belt they don't go do they and the distributor that can't be turned to advance it
I read all this in my manual, but I appreciate the video, it organizes the info into a easy to understand fashion. Keep up the good work, you've earned yourself a sub.
P.S. I think it should be said that it's important to buy and read the manual to your vehicle.
Call me crazy but I always just use the cheap stuff. Never have used special gear oil except one time where I won some at a raffle;)
im a rookie here - went to get grease - lots of types - what should I buy
Get tires balanced. And never take seller's words for granted, the guy I bought my xj from swore the brakes where serviced 2 weeks before we met, a month later I had to replace pads and rotors.
Hey. bleepinjeep I was wounder if you could email me the list of all the step and stuff needed to do for this.
Boy what's up with that hat game
yep, shit like that always happens!
Comanche has a full frame like a regular pickup doesn't it?
I think a few of the Grand Cherokee's had LSD, so gear oil needs the friction additive. Maybe that's what he is talkin about.
The recall is only on Grand Cherokees (ZJ) not on the regular Cherokee (XJ)
i bought a nearly 2 years old 2014 japanese car which was driven 11500 miles what should i replace and check .?
Spy Del Rio The car.
I just bought a motorcycle at a dealership all cash am I supposed to receive my title, license and registration in the mail or go to the dmv? need your help thanks
They should have given the title to you at wherever you bought it. All the other stuff you have to go to the dmv
Check engine/cluster lights.
Dammit! Now I have to remake the whole video!
Why remake the whole video?
you forgot to check you blinker fluid and muffler bearings
Lol last part of description
Good job crazy hat guy. You never know what exactly you’re buying.
you can use inplix instructions to build it yourself guys.
pretty good video. and btw u can do half of this stuff yourself for dirt cheap. and you defenitly dont need to replace your engine oil every 3k miles. syntheic or even regular can easily go to 10k then id change it
thats cause trucks are for towing, not racing
How much does all of this generally cost ?
+wriely twosick J.E.E.P. Just Empty Every Pocket
+BleepinJeep dude I don't even know what you are talking about. Can I have a actual estimate of the cost of all of that ?
+wriely twosick This is youtube not yahoo ask dumb ass, try google.
500-1000 bucks
@@ellisbiglips , This stuff can be cheap, depending on vehicle. I didn't pay anything to replace the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap or rotor when I tuned up my 6.5 Detroit Diesel. Just print out the list and take it to Autozone or some other parts store and ask. Prices vary wildly from one car to the next. On my truck a shock costed me $35. A shock on a Mercedes can easily top $1,000 (that's just one shock by the way, not the whole set.)
Bruh i thought it was just a fedora then i saw the cap omg wth
I made the mistake of not greasing my u joints in my truck and the other day I blew them up in a race
What does it mean does a transmition service every 60k?
+Austin LaFleur change tranny fluid and filter
+BleepinJeep Thank you
also re-torque the bands, but it involves dropping the valve body on a Mopar.
I did all the fluid changes and 4 months later the head gasket went.
98 ford windstar.
I found your problem. You drive a ford windstar
tis true im sorry to say
Do some research before changing transmission fluid. It may be better not to change it.
The timing belt on Cherokees is operated by magical drunken wizards.
What exactly is a cap/ rotor? I don't want to walk into a shop asking them for a new "cap/ rotor" lol
distributor cap and rotor, its whats sending spark through the wires, to the spark plugs.
For fucks sake does this guy know how much all of this would cost!!?!
Spend 4K on a used car then spend 45k on all this shit. Might as well get a new car
YourFitnessTutor it should only cost around $1000 to do all this
FIRST: You don't pay someone to do these things, you do them yourself. Costs at most a few hundred dollars. SECOND: If you bought a Jeep expecting to pay someone else do maintenance then you bought the wrong car. and LASTLY: You don't buy a used vehicle expecting no maintenance, that's how you get ripped off
this tutorial is for people who know shit... not dumb who pay for everything
these would cost a few hundred bucks but never above 500 unless you bought parts that are high quality or rare or you probably took it to be done in a shop and not do it yourself.
why do you need new wires for spark plugs
Peace of mind knowing the wires are new, and you don't know the condition on the inside of old wires
I like to replace the wires when replacing the spark plugs. I often end up tearing the spark plug wires when I try to remove them.
people dont read these days!
Wiper blades. Do it right away. Every time it Rains I get pissed at myself because I still haven't done it.
You forgot the muffler bearings!
Video is private FYI
This might as well had been in Chinese...
rudegyaloving Well you can't speak proper English, so...
Get a life.
Last time I heard that I laughed so hard I almost fell off my dinosaur.
After all that I'll go new. WOW!!!
I think this is just the governments way of pushing Chrysler around.
well my car is my new wife im broke now
every 3k are u insane considering oil is so good these days i do my car every 10k but it does say that in the manual and i do my bike every 3 to 6hrs
after watching the video i can assume this is for a old used car that's at least 10 years old or more
Synthetic oil lasts pretty long but most newer cars have complex valve timing systems with lots of little holes and stuff so it's better to change it frequently, I do about 6k-8k
i change my oil every 3 months, that is about 2300-2500 miles, but i work at a parts store one day a week for the discount.
When i seen the fedora on top of the cap i left the video.....
Noah Vallejo the fact that you commented proves that you did not leave
Christopher Smith thanks, but i comment to have anyone care.
I don't care about you not caring..
Dude better be buying a 40 grand car for this "tune up" lol bro this is like 2 grand easy it seems lol
