I believe the diesel got the same springs as the gas engine from the factory, it's stupidly undersprung. I put on a 2.5" lift with the correct spring rate for a diesel with a steel bumper and winch; it rides much better, but I still need upgraded shocks to get it dialed.
If passing through Utah try to hit Capitol Reef and Zion if you can. Capitol Reef is the least visited park in the state and there's a ton of petroglyphs that are easily accessed from the highway. The other parks will be a more significant detour, but worth it.
If going through southern...
And yet here you are calling Jeep owners "not very bright" and complaining about your truck without trying to solve the problem.
Wooo! I'd like to thank the Sex Toy Academy...
Feels fine dishing the insults, but can't take being treated in kind.
Unlike Gripey-McWhinesalot here, I knew what I was in for with Jeep ownership. What my truck does is worth the cost of ownership and I'm prepared for those issues.
That doesn't explain his claims of death wobble, glass catching fire, or jeep techs "shocked" by a stock vehicle.
There might be some truth to what he's saying, but there's a lot here that doesn't add up. And what's the point of this thread anyway? He's got a failure on a used Jeep and is in...
Insulting the members of this forum isn't going to win you any sympathy. You sound like a dickhead.
And if we are going on "not very bright", you're the one making the claim, so it's your burden of proof. You found one anecdote on Reddit and keep spamming that link as "proof" that the...
Yeah, the assumption is that the gears were modded - because why would a tech be "shocked" by OE gearing, and how would OE gearing (or any gearing) cause a fluid loss in the transmission? So either you're embellishing the story significantly, the shop is a bunch of clowns who are "shocked" by...
I have no idea how you managed to destroy that transmission, the ZF8 is used all over in higher stress and much higher power engines. Something isn't adding up about your vehicle's history, it's starting to sound like the title got washed and those mods were done to cover damage.
I thought about it, but the number of problems reported by other owners convinced me to keep my OE LED lights. My truck has enough Jeep Things going on already, aftermarket mods should be fixing issues, not causing them.
