This thing is sweet. 3 year lease turn in with 21,400 miles. A few minor dings... i expect my wife to do worse though! It's also nice having a vehicle that already has its first "scratch" so i dont have to get pissed off when its not "perfect" anymore :lol:

Hindsight being 20/20 I knew I was getting the jeep for the Edmunds recommended price. Normally I am able to get below that but this took some dealing.... Being that this was a lease turn in as opposed to a trade-in, i have a feeling that the residual value from the lease terms generated in 2007 was high. Whereas if this was a trade-in, then the dealer would only have had ~18k vested and probably would have went down to 23-24k pretty easily when i made my "final offer".

 

Can't complain though.. i got it for $24,925 as a "Certified Used" so it has 6yr 80k mile warranty and Edmunds had it valued at $25,300 for this type of purchase.

Looks sharp :lol:

 

Not to impressed with crash ratings of these...just this month there was a head on traffic accident involving one of these and it turned out to be a fatality.

The '07 Commander got 5 star in both front and side impact.. But that doesn't matter when you have two heavy ass machines heading straight for each other.

nice car seat, we had the same one. Switched to a convertible when we got sick of carrying it around.

Thanks guys.

 

I was just playing around with some of the features... I gotta admit... im JEALOUS!! My wife has a kickass vehicle :D

 

#1: It's FULL Time 4x4 WITH the option of 4LOW

#2: It has an automatic electronic limited slip diff in the rear AND front diffs :lol:

#3: I just set up her bluetooth

#4: The NAV system is just plain awesome

#5: Not only does it have a sunroof.. but it has those two additional skylights. I wish my truck at least had a sunroof...wtf kind of Denali doesnt have a sun-roof? :D

 

After playing around with it for a bit, im even happier with the purchase. This vehicle is amazing.... (and they look good with 4" lift on 32s :D )

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
