Regular maintenance will help to keep your Jeep in perfect condition. As time passes, parts will age or become damaged, which affects your Jeep’s performance. As your Jeep dealer, we have a wide range of services to enable it to always perform at its best. These are some of the types of Jeep maintenance we provide.
Oil Change
Oil is as vital for your engine as blood is for the body. Oil is pumped through the engine and additives inside break down potential blockages before they form and absorb dirt and rust particles to keep the engine clean. The viscous oil surrounds many engine components with a protective coating to reduce friction damage.
Over time, the oil slowly degrades and becomes thicker and slower due to the dirt and other particles it absorbs. Older oil is less effective at preventing friction, which increases engine wear and tear. During an oil change, we drain the old oil, then we replace the used oil filter. We install a new filter to enable the oil to flow freely, and we’ll refill your engine with high-quality oil.
Battery Testing
Any driver who’s experienced a dead battery knows it is one of the most frustrating and annoying experiences. The battery is essential to providing the electricity that starts your engine. Unfortunately, it has a relatively short life. Your battery will gradually weaken as the chemicals that enable it to supply, store, and recharge electricity slowly break down.
We can give you a heads-up on your battery’s current health and potential future life. We do this by connecting your battery to our battery tester. This machine will analyze your battery’s strengths and possible weaknesses. If your battery is healthy, we advise retesting it in one year. If your battery is failing, we can install a new one for you in minutes.
Tune-Up
A tune-up focuses on your ignition system and related components. A problem with any of these components can result in misfiring, stalling, or your engine refusing to start. During a tune-up, we examine the spark plugs and wires and check the condition of the ignition coils. The coils provide the additional power to allow the spark plugs to ignite the fuel-air mixture and produce combustion. We also remove and replace damaged plugs or coils.
We check your coolant level and its condition to see if it’s working effectively to control the engine temperature. Our technicians will also remove and replace your engine air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter. When you drive home, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in your Jeep’s performance.
These are only a handful of the many services that we offer. Contact our service department today at Freedom CDJRF By Ed Morse in Durant, OK to book your service.

From the high ground clearance to the advanced traction to help you take on any road, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler has a rugged design built with outdoor adventures in mind. These are the rugged design features you’ll experience when you test-drive a Wrangler at your local Jeep dealer.
High Ground Clearance and Water Fording Capabilities
There are 13 different models of the Jeep Wrangler available in 2024. While all models are designed to be rugged, some are more equipped for off-roading than others. The standard ground clearance on the base model of the Wrangler is 9.7 inches. When you upgrade to the Wrangler Rubicon 392, that increases to an impressive 12.9 inches, thanks in part to the large 35-inch tires.
The high ground clearance, coupled with high air intakes, moisture-resistant body openings, and sealed electrical components also allow the Wrangler to ford small bodies of water.
A Factory-Installed Winch
The Wrangler is designed to help you get into and out of tough spots in the most rugged terrain. But if you encounter someone else who is stuck, the factory-installed winch is a huge asset. The WARN wench is capable of handling up to 8,000 pounds, allowing you to utilize your Jeep Wrangler’s rugged design and power to lend a helping hand to another vehicle stuck in a tight spot.
Advanced Traction and Electronic Locking Differentials
Keeping all four tires on the ground and working together is a must if you’re going to traverse the rugged roads. The Wrangler’s advanced traction is designed to help with just that. When the vehicle is in 4×4 High mode, the transfer case delivers a 50/50 split, dividing the Wrangler’s torque between both the front and rear axles. This, coupled with Tru-Lok Electronic Locking Differentials, which deliver equal power to both axles, helps your Jeep conquer the terrain and avoid slipping or spinning your wheels on uneven ground.
One of the Most Rugged Exteriors at Your Local Jeep Dealer
The 2024 Wrangler has several features that help you conquer rugged terrain, but the exterior features its own rugged design that can stand up to any adventures you take on. A variety of wheel options lets you customize your ride based on the types of roads you plan to drive. A redesigned seven-slot grille not only enhances the look of the Wrangler but is also designed to increase airflow to the powertrain to keep it cool. A trail-ready antenna on the exterior has been relocated in the 2024 model, which will prevent it from getting caught when driving under tree branches and other obstacles.
If you’re dreaming of owning your own Jeep Wrangler, it’s time to start your search. Contact Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT by Ed Morse in Durant, OK today to check out our inventory.

At Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT By Ed Morse, we value your vehicle’s reliability as much as you do, and one of the keys to that reliability is a good car battery. Do you know the signs that it’s time for a new car battery from your Chrysler dealer? Let us clue you in.
Battery Warning Light
The battery warning light is often the first sign that something is wrong with the battery or charging system. If this light illuminates, get your battery checked as soon as possible. We understand it’s tempting to put it off, especially if you’re hoping it’s just a diagnostics system glitch, but you don’t want to be stuck somewhere late at night unable to start your car.
Engine Struggles to Start
Another obvious sign of a battery nearing its end is when the engine struggles to start. This issue usually manifests as a slow cranking sound when you attempt to start the engine. It indicates that the battery is having difficulty providing the necessary power to start your vehicle.
Intermittent Power Loss
If you notice intermittent power loss to components like the radio, dashboard lights, or even the air conditioning system, you might have a failing battery or alternator. These sporadic issues often occur because the battery is unable to consistently supply power to all electronic components. This might also manifest as unexplained electrical glitches, like the infotainment system resetting, sporadic warning lights, or erratic wiper operations.
Battery’s Physical Condition
A visual check can reveal much about your battery’s health. Look for signs such as a swollen or bloated battery case, which can result from overcharging or heat exposure, or corrosion on the terminals, which impedes the battery’s ability to transfer power. Light corrosion can be cleaned off pretty easily, but if the corrosion is bad, the battery probably needs to be replaced. And if you see a swollen battery case, get help immediately: there could be severe consequences if you don’t.
Vehicle Age and Battery Replacement History
A car battery usually lasts about three years under tough conditions, and around five in more ideal ones. If your CDJR vehicle’s battery is within this age range or hasn’t been replaced in a while, it’s wise to get it checked.
Cold Weather Starting Problems
A battery that may be fine during the warmer months could start to exhibit starting problems in cold weather if the battery is failing. If your battery is getting up there and was working fine in September, but in December starts to have issues, it likely needs to be replaced.
If you notice any of these signs, bring your CDJR vehicle to our service center at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT By Ed Morse.
Winters in Oklahoma tend to be windy and cold, and while some snowfall is common, the biggest concern for car owners is ensuring their vehicles can endure below-freezing weather. Fortunately, when you need auto repair or car maintenance to prepare for winter, you can schedule winterizing service at your Jeep Ram dealership.
Winterizing a modern vehicle typically means performing basic maintenance tasks before winter begins. The best time to winterize your vehicle is in the autumn since you want to have your vehicle prepared for the first snowfall, icy rain, or freezing night.
Check Your Tires
Even if you have all-season tires on your vehicle, you may need to switch to winter tires. Winter tires perform best when the temperature falls below 45 to 40 degrees. Winter tires are designed to withstand colder air temperatures and grip slick or snowy roads more efficiently. This is because winter tires maintain their flexibility, unlike summer or all-season tires, which may become more rigid as the weather drops.
If you choose not to switch to winter tires, you should have your regular all-season tires serviced before the winter. If your tread is low, then a mechanic may recommend buying new tires so you can maximize traction for your vehicle.
Adjust Your Coolant Mix
Your owner’s manual will have information about the type of coolant that is best for your engine. During the winter months, your mechanic may recommend adjusting the coolant ratio in your engine to accommodate freezing temperatures. Even if your coolant mix does not need to be adjusted, topping off your coolant as part of routine maintenance before winter is a good idea.
Check Your Engine Oil
If your vehicle has semi-synthetic or fully synthetic motor oil, it may be formulated to withstand very cold temperatures. However, even if you have a cold-weather formulated engine oil, it’s still a good idea to check your motor oil level or change your oil before winter so you don’t encounter vehicle performance issues.
Should You Get Auto Repair at Your Jeep Ram Dealership Before Winter?
If you notice a particular problem with your engine, brakes, transmission, or other vehicle component, you should schedule service for these repairs before winter. Sometimes, repairing specific issues means the dealership will have to order parts, so visiting the dealership before the cold months is a good idea. Additionally, preparing for the winter in advance can help you avoid certain performance issues, such as an engine that won’t start in the cold.
In general, modern vehicles don’t need extensive winterization to get through the coldest months of the year. However, there are still some basic maintenance tasks every driver should perform to prepare for the cold winter nights. Without winterizing certain vehicle components, you may face performance trouble during the coldest months of the year. Schedule service at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT By Ed Morse today.
