Coming Up On 100K Miles - Service Help??

[ItsMeKO3]

So I'm about 1K miles away from hitting 100K miles. I bought my Jeep with 90K last March, and haven't really done anything mechanically except oil changes. It was bought new in 2005 by an older gentleman, and then owned by his sister, before being traded back in at the same dealership it was bought from (shop where I bought it). All I know is the service has always been done at this dealer, and from what I was told, it was well taken care of. I'm just curious what should be done, as far as plugs, fluids, etc., as I come up on 100K. I'm not very mechanically inclined, and live in an apartment with limited tools, so its hard for me to do much especially in the middle of winter. So I'll probably have my brother in law have the mechanics at his shop do most of the work when it goes in for an oil change in a few hundred miles. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

if you bought it at 90k, you probably need to do everything that was due then (not many people do a major service before selling).

90k would be:
Spark plugs
both differentials
Tcase oil
PCV valve

I'd have the mechanic check pull a plug, if its old then do everything listed above plus your normal oil change. I would also recommend a coolant flush.

Is there any way you can contact the dealer you purchased the Jeep from and find out if the transmission has been serviced. If not it would be a good time to do that.

Alright thanks guys. I'm going to plan on having all of the above done when it goes in for the next oil change.

Taking the Jeep in tomorrow to have the sway bar links replaced for free. Might see if they can sneak in a swap of the spark plugs too. I luckily have a hook up at a local Jeep dealer. Also, talked with the guys from aFe and they are sending a replacement part for my reducer coupler at no cost.

Nice man. The dealer said it be about 600$ for all of the things Matt listed above, plus a new air filter and coolant flush. So I decided I'm going to do some of it myself. Air filter and plugs for sure, I'm not sure how much of the fluid changes I'll be able to do.

You can definitely handle the differentials and tcase fluid changes.... especially the front diff and tcase since they're just "drain & fill"

Wow bro we can walk you threw doing your own fluid changes man. It's really not that hard.

Coolant isn't bad either right? Just drain, fill, run, fill, run, fill?

nope that will give you air in the system.
