Welcome to Fantasy Island.
the alignment was fine when it left the factory. There are multi million dollar alignment machines on the assembly line. The alignment may be affected in transit when the vehicle is chained down to the bump stops on the rail car and again on the transport truck. That...
This B.S. about improperly torqued components and out of tolerance steering boxes has got to stop.
This mis-information has been perpetuated from 2018 with the release of the JL Wrangler.
Does anyone believe that after 2 years of JL production that there are still out of spec steering boxes...
Sounds like you definitely kinked a fuel line. Itās great that you straightened it but you should still have it checked. Once that plastic is linked, it could become a weak point and kink again causing you the same issue. As you hit a log, donāt expect warranty sympathy.
mad far as the A/C...
As the suspension is the same as the JL, the steering stabilizer or damper has been an issue since 2018. There has been at least 2 revisions. I had my first one replaced at 13k miles and the second at 34k. I had no alignment issues, no untorqued fasteners. My tires all wore even and were...
Iād agree with the previous comment. It sounds like the noise is coming from the pumpkin. Almost like the differential is only partially disengaged from 4wd lock.
It looks like the weights were installed wrong. I just looked at the ones on my LE and they seem to be mounted closer to the wheel spokes. The weights should never come in contact with the caliper like in your picture. Take it to the tire shop and bring the bill over to the GM at the dealership...
As the 3.6 is used in the Ram, Challenger, Charger, GC and JL, there has to be a known issue and repair. There is nothing unique about the power train in a JT other than perhaps the cooling system.
Have you guys looked at the other FCA forum to see if there were issues and or resolutions?
Just...
Fine sandpaper means automotive wet/dry sandpaper. Use wet and a minimum of 400 grit. You can also use a red scuff pad and a little Comet cleanser to wet sand.
primer would be a good idea prior to the finish coat.
For the Rubicon, below is the average current wholesale value:
Avg Cond
4.9
Typical Range
$46,600 -$53,500
Iād take the high figure and ask for 20 to 30 % of the high for diminished value.
the numbers are in your favor as this is still such a new vehicle.
Bad Battery. This has been a JL issue since 2018.
just had the battery replaced on my ā18 JLUR at 35k miles for the same issue.
itās a manufacturer quality issue. I turn off ESS always because I hate it.and the secondary battery still failed. You want to have it replaced before it becomes...
Heat gun works better than a hair dryer. We had a car lot for years and bought a lot of municipal use vehicles. Nothing works as well as a heat gun to remove those decals. Just be careful not to get the surface too hot!
My JT stays in the garage and the JL lives outside.
after the last few cold snaps, the JL steering is sticky until the engine warms up. After that all is fine. No loss of boost since the flash update last year per the TSB.
I couldnāt find the email I sent to the dealer, but search the JL forums for the TSB.
I canāt remember if it was the left or right turn when the boost dropped out but was in a curve and only in cold temperatures. I sent the TSB to the dealer and they flashed the computer with the software...
My JL has the same issue when it got in the low 30ās in Houston.
All it took was a software update. There was a TSB for this.
Iām curious to see if my JT has the same issue if we ever have Fall!
