I recently took my Jeep in to my mechanic to have a severe oil leak fixed. Along with that he identified numerous problems. Here are the problems: Engine mounts are torn, transmission mount is oil soaked and mushy, brake system needs a flush, transfer case is leaking from case halves and shifter, auto transmission due for service and flush, right front axle boot is torn, and left axle boots are cracked, also, I just noticed it is leaking coolant pretty badly. I don't want to sink a ton of money into a vehicle that is barely worth anything but I don't have the money to go out and buy a new AWD vehicle. Which of these problems do I need to get fixed so I can drive my Jeep for another year or so?
That all depends were in the world you live? go see another machanic!!! i would? but it depends on just how bad things are with it, the engine mounts will tear off in time? the transmishion mount's soaked in oil,and mushy,,,,so what???? its still holding the gear box up? tell him to go!!!!! brakes need a flush??? change all the fluid???? who dose that on an old car?
not me thats a wast ot money,!!! transfuer cases leaking oil,,, tighten the darn bolts up then!!! auto transmishion need servicing????? just keep it toped up, fix it when it brakes, auto boxes go on for years so long as you keep the oil toped up and dont put dirty oil in them,,,,axle boots,,, rubber boots over the drive joints split,,, ok,, they will let grit into the drive joints and this will wear them out prity farst,,,how long do you wont to keep the car??? tarmack roads should be ok for years, but dirt roads will kill them prity fast,,,ok now this coolant leak,?? just how bad and were from?? if its from the radiator,,, put in some rad weld!!! or stop leak,,, it dose what it sayes on the can??? it stops the leak!!,,,
to be honest iv got the felling you are a young woman with puppy dog eyes,and you are very gullible,,,,,,,,
and you just went and let a dam big ugly wolf look at your car, and i think he's just about to eat you,,,
if you give him the chance, you would need to sell both your kidneys to pay him to do all this work, if i was you i would drive it till it drops
or see another mechanic,,, (not a wolf) good luck
The oil leaks, just keep the levels full. The engine mounts, unless they are torn apart, let them ride. The front axles, let them ride, its going to cost the same now or later, they need to be replaced. I would FIX the coolant leak. ASAP. once you overheat or do damage to the engine, the whole truck is scrap.
