Thank you. I know it could have been worse as pictured above. I was surprised at the minimal damage compared to the size of the tree-15 inch base, 75 foot tall pine. I did a stupid thing, but the Jeep is repairable and now I am doing some unexpected upgrades. And most important, no one got hurt.
Awesome, thanks for the links! I'm going to go new Mojave hood. The price difference is minimal. I like the hood scoop of the Mojave better, but thought it may be a PITA with everything needed, but Allmoparparts made it easy with the kit. Just waiting on shipping costs which I'm sure will be...
Totally agree with everything said above. I had no intention of having the ins. co pay for the betterment. I figured now was the time, if I were to upgrade and pay the difference.
Curtting a tree down in my back yard and used the Gladiator to ensure it didn't fall the wrong direction... Yeah, I know. As you would expect, it landed squarely on the hood and passenger fender. About $4K in damages. Tust me, I got all the jabs from my wife and insurance agent. The...
Understood. I've owned enough GM products to know that hunting and trans heat go together. I don't spend a lot of time looking at the tach, but rather manually shift when there are sufficient RPM's to aviod lugging. I totally understand and agree with your post.
I agree the oil can handle it. It just seems pretty hot for the aluminum parts like the heads etc. If I can spend a coupel hunderd bucks and reduce it, I would give me peace of mind. But then again, I don't to wevery day.
Temps were in the low 80's, but altitude wasn't much in the Appalachains, under 4,000 feet. I do tend to shift manually just to prevent the engine racing. It doesn't seem to hunt, it just doesn't shift early enough for my taste. I don't think it needs to be in the 4500-5000 RPM range to keep...
I just looked and I do have have that one, but don't feel it is doing its job at 260 degrees. I'd like to know how difficult it would be to add another one. If it is just hoses and a cooler, that wouldn't be too difficult, but getting to it is another thing...
I have a '22 JT Overland with the tow package. I tow a small TT well within the towing specs (4600 Loaded). The Temps are a bit higher than I would like to see especially the engine oil. On a recnt trip to MI from NC, I saw 260 on the oil in the mountains. Trans was pretty consistent in the...
I work in the insurance industry. I am not defending your carrier or their decision, but would like to offer some perspective. Insurance costs for better or worse, are not about "you" or whether "you" have had a claim. The premiums are based on the law of large numbers. They are based on the...
