Though you, me and some others know about this BS, what isnāt BS is FCA will deny your tranny warranty if you ever have to go in for tranny service. Ask me how I know. It was a tragic start for my first time Jeep ownership. Something was wrong, I tried to fix it myself by a simple oil change and...
Having not ever been a ājeep guyā, I am convinced they are very bullet proof if you just give it time and throw lots of components and money at it. Theyāll come around!
Iāve seen a tech on Facebook point blame on the TCM connector that is just on the other side of the front passenger mud guard. Water gets in and has caused a crap load of issues for us. Itās the same kind of connector we undue to take our front doors off and we all know the crap we have to deal...
Got word from National Transmission that the output shaft seal is available and the Chrysler warehouse outside of Calgary has the seal. His book shows the job at 5 hours for the 850RE $800 cad.
He said if itās a transfer case seal, there isnāt one and the whole TC would have to be replaced...
21 JTR, 3.6, 107k kms TL, (32k kms on 4th transmission)
Oil seepage is at the rear of the transmission where it bolts up to the transfer case. Anyone have experienced this before?
Iām not sure if every reader can access Chryslerās fire wall and tell you what you want to know. Some of us have needed the āgateway bypass cableā (others can chime in here about this). In my case the ThinkCar diag didnāt need the cable but the upgraded one I have now does.
I have found that when the engine check light has self healed and the dealership plugs in their reader, they canāt see the code and say āthereās no stored codeā and send you off to monitor it.
Iāve used THINKCAR for years as a reader and it reads those codes Chrysler says isnāt there. More...
And then thereās some of us that want our rigs to go up in smoke and they wonāt! Anyone in this camp? Raise your hand if youāre in on a class action!
I got a price on the seals, alone:

PART# 68396635AA - $186. cad
PART # 68398727AA - $106. cad
TL $306.60 after tax. (Cad)
$137 USD before tax.
Parts guy said one seal is two weeks away and the other seal has waiting list and no ETA.
If the transmission has been ārestrictedā for as long as itās been operating and itās ālearnedā this way,..now it has this harness that shuts off TC, shouldnāt the transmission be reflashed to start the learning all over again?
It sounds like rev hang or gears not shifting is a result of what...
Iām assuming the pan is aluminum and only magnet is the drain plug? Can other magnets sit under the filter and be held in place by the filter?
Do you have to grind the cooling fins for the exhaust pipe?
From all the reading Iāve done on this my take-a-way is that the system works as it should if the aux battery was any good. I decided to ditch both my batteries but kept the system, not for the start stop feature but for the extra 220 amps my āupgradedā aux provides. Itās there as a just in case...
