Just got back from a 1000 mile round trip GA-MS-GA. On the way home I experienced power loss going up hills. Downshifting all the way to 5th and hunting between 5th-6th on a steady climb. It was even changing gears going down hill between 7 and 8. Earlier in the day I was thinking to...
OK, it's been a few days shy of 2 MONTHS and they drove 257 miles while my truck was in the shop. Got it back yesterday.
For informational purposes I wanted to share the tech's notes regarding the fixing of the P0300 error.
- Performed diagnostics for P0300 and P000A codes.
- Connected...
Cat family. They allow you to go away for 2-3 days and take care of themselves. I like that. Gives us travel freedom and we don't need someone to come over multiple times a day every day.
Well, after 6 weeks in the shop they finally got a replacement cam shaft. Fixed the cam shaft timing error but still getting P0300 misfires.
Opening another Star case with Jeep. Already messed up one camping trip. Wonder how long this is going to go on. Even when they say it's fixed...
My dealership is telling me they need a Gen 2 cam for my 2021. They tell me they will only purchase from their supplier for warranty work. Won't keep individuals from purchasing aftermarket but it may impact any warranty you have left.
I hear ya. In my troubleshooting world it is SOMETIMES more cost effective to narrow down the scope and then to replace parts. My customers are losing tens of thousands of dollars an hour when a manufacturing line is down. And yes, this method is sometimes used when we're footing the bill...
Well, now the local Jeep crew can't figure out what's going on so a STAR case has been opened with Jeep. It's been two weeks since I brought it in. I have a camping trip end of April. Gotta say I'm not too impressed with troubleshooting skills. They could have replaced a few cheaper parts...
Today's update: Adjusted cam position sensor and got rid of one fault. the P0300 is still occurring but they have been unable to determine which cylinder(s) it's happening on. And we wait.....
Well....back in the shop today after cam shaft replacement on 3/5. Check engine light came on with the following codes:
P000A - 'A' Camshaft position slow response Bank 1
P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
Wonder how long this is going to take to figure out.
