Big Un' good for another 60k
About 3 years ago I had one of my impulse moments; bought our Grand Wagoneer right after they were introduced unable to help myself. I love the older ones from the 80s/90s.. and they were back! Kicker is I bought it sight unseen. Never been in one, never drove one. Got online, put in my wish list and ... up the street in Bonham they had one ... paid list price, traded in our Porsche Macan on it and ... never looked back.

Three Years old / 61k miles |
Left MS yesterday back to Tejas and after some crazy rain, the 'check engine' light was on. Did some search on the reasons for it, and felt confident enough to head home 550 miles. My gut feeling was correct, and no issues home except that damned light on the dash glaring back at me.
This morning, headed to the dealership and .. the light goes off. Crap. That's good and bad. Good for obvious reasons bad because it's harder to diagnose the actual problem. Well, it was some ECU code on a cylinder misfire, which makes me wonder how much water was splashed up there .... but... no biggee.
Wil , my Service Manager points out 60k miles is the magic number for a lot of things. Differential fluids, transmission fluids, fuels system things, etc. Well, pretty sure I'll have this sucker another 3+ years so .. do it. Swap 'em all out with fresh fluids. Oh yeah, fix that windshield washer issue. That oil change? Sure. Rotate them tires? Sure.
Picked it up a few minutes ago and after they gave it a bath ... drove awesome and looked awesome. Around 61k miles on it and pretty sure I'll have this one for MANY more years to come.
Bill was $855.91. Worth every penny! Few months back Lucy asked me if we should sell it.. how HELL NO. Here's comes 100+k miles ....
