Oh wow...I'd be all over them to take it back, out of goodwill. That thing should have gone to a wholesale auction.

I think it's whatever you can work out with the service advisor or manager, and the sales staff - it would be good to talk to the guy who sold you the car, maybe with the sales manager present. If it's that concerning, it's probably cheaper just to dump it and move on to another rig. I doubt a...

In all seriousness, the ZR2's are awesome trucks. Good luck!

Except for a few minor accessories, I’m stock. Floor mats, seat covers, and a Mopar trailer brake controller. The only other thing I might do is put in a winch, but that depends on how much I plan to do off road, and where.

I'm not sure any soldier I've met would prefer a somber and quiet remembrance of their contributions, sacrifice, and time on earth. Sure, visit a memorial, kneel to the flag, and cry because they're gone. But go celebrate later....no doubt if they could come back just for a moment they'd tell us...

I thought you had peaced out but I guess you needed to say one more thing, huh? I was legit asking what data was used to come up with 150k. If you don’t know then I guess the research you did isn’t worth anything more than some random thing you searched for on the internet. Nobody said...

What provenance does Motorreviewer have? What's their source on the 2.0? Or, are you just repeating things you searched for on the internet which confirm your bias?

Just when I thought this thread had run fresh out of troll-juice. Oh man, right in the feels after 16 pages! Bwahahaha!!! You'll be fine

I love and respect my own parents but as an adult in my 40's, there's a lot that they do and think where I just have to turn the other cheek. Being "right" isn't important to me anymore, preserving the relationship and peace is. And on some things they truly have no idea how wrong they are, just...

Your premise is correct. To add some additional detail.... The 850RE is a ZF-licensed design and isn't actually manufactured by ZF. It's made by FCA/Stella in their own factories. Although I want to believe FCA is the authority and can be trusted on a "run to failure" service interval...

On a new vehicle having transmission problems, I'd recommend it go back to a dealer. For nothing else than to start the documentation early that the rig has an issue. I wouldn't be likely to follow the linked instructions for a fluid change. It sure sounds like that post is suggesting doing it...

What's written doesn't sound "normal" for an 8-speed. Someone else mentioned it, but I thought I'd call attention to it again. These transmissions take time and mileage to learn and adapt to your driving style. I wonder if a reset would help? Sadly, there isn't a fluid check procedure through...

There's a balance. Do you need to shift 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for every stop light? Nope. But there is really good sense in using gears to provide engine braking on long/steep grades and also reducing speed for the downslope. The JL isn't a 105,500 lb truck but many of the same concepts can be...

I'd actually argue the Aisin AL6 manual will make you grow a pair of man boobs. That thing is weak-sauce.

The 8-speed is good. Really, really good. Apply your brakes before the hill to get the trans to downshift and induce engine braking; or select your gear in advance.

Well it's not like he's giving us much to discuss...lol. WHERE ARE THE UPDATES Is he going to pay for the new engine? Work a deal to get a new Jeep instead? Buy a Toyota and leave a long, dramatic post about how Jeep broke his heart? (I don't blame him if he does, so-)

Then why did the original Jeep have a 4-cylinder? :)

Except the 2.0 still nudges out the V6. It's like a race of slugs. 6 seconds to 60 isn't fast, period. The 2.0 makes the Wrangler feel so much more agile, and less like a brick. Boost to ascend obstacles. Game changing. V6's are for minivans ;)

Holy smokes...they want $240 for a set of 4, though
