AS IS / NO WARRANTY - Am I ****ed ?

Green coolant is obsolete.
Ford uses orange now and per everything im reading, the orange synthetic mixes with green or orange.

I have one we got new, I believe it has red coolant from the OEM. The Orange is strictly for GM. Make sure it is not just overflow.
Great vehicle in many ways, not in surviving the warranty. Several recalls on this model, some are serious. If you keep it, get these checked or handled.

this is why i like older vehicles. after 10+ years you know which
are winners and what models to stay away from plus they are
on the flat side of depreciation

I agree 100% and drive a 2001 F350 7.3 diesel truck and a 2007 Nissian frontier both run perfect and i can get my $ back anytime with out a loss.

Me too

I like to get a 6-7 yr old vehicle in good condition at an auction with aboit 120k on the clock

Usually cost 1/10 of what they cost new
I drive em till they croak , or 300k whichever comes first
A $6500 vehicle Lasts me about 7-8 years and I sell em for about $2000 when Ive worn em slap out

So costs me about $100 a month
For the vehicle , gas , insurance and Maint are extra but I've done pretty well with this for the last 20 years

I'm done with late model overly complicated vehicles though
My next vehicle though is gonna be the nicest 88-91 old body style K-5 Blazer I can find

Either that or a really nice 66 thunderbird

I got a 2012 F150 platinum 4x4 from them and have had 0 problems from them or my truck-glad to hear they fixed it for you

I believe 2013 is when JEEP started using OAT 10 yr/150k coolant in the Grand Cherokee. It will be either a reddish or purple color.

Prior to that for many years they used HOAT which could be either orange or reddish looking and is 5 yr/100k mileage.

Make sure you never mix different coolant together unless you like tapioca in the cooling system.
