Well, benefit to the Centerforce is that its single disc, so the catastrophic failure and fire goes away. They are redoing their clutch friction material, should be out March. One headache is clutch chatter, the other headache is ECU nannies and a fragile pressure plate.

if you look in the photo with the pressure plate, you can see the second clutch disk. It rides on the splines of the disk that is removed. It looks to be encapsulated, but the disk is there if you look again. I had to stare a bit, as it’s a new setup for me.

So, in some additional reading, it’s a failure of the intermediate pressure plate as this is a twin disc setup.. this pic is from another twin disc setup as I wasn’t able to find one of our Asian AL6. I can see now and how that part could see some extreme heat and fail as it is the...

You are right, I wasn't trying to personally call ya out or anything, just illustrate there's no sensor for it to base it. And as for normal driving, as mentioned, under strain, clutches get hot. sand, snow, mud, they take a few jabs and drops to get some spin. What's alarming is that in most...

In normal operation, how is this heat being generated? There should be no excess heat and friction generated from a properly spec'd and engaged clutch. Do show the ECU data stream for clutch temperature. There is none. So this detune will be based off what measurement(s)? Auto's have a fluid...

This is my concern. I tow (albiet a small buggy and small trailer casually), It is mountainous (requiring deep gear drops and high revs), Its hot in the summer and the desert where I roam, and I wanted to go to 35's and then 37's with the regear and parts kits out of Jeeps own parts catalog. I...

It’s definitely under built. that’s why the “fix” is detune. Stock power levels should not create enough slip of the friction material to generate so much heat, that it reaches critical temperatures of those parts to combustion or fragmentation. I wish to see there was a bad run of something...

There’s really no reason to do this, as it technically burns fuel to idle the engine vs letting it coast. So it could be a glut of fuel in the intake from dropping idle then wanting to burn it off. Rev hang. Its a thing with engine management wanting a clean burn, but with port injection there’s...

There should not be any temp increase in the trans to get that hot and require some sensor to watch it. The recall isn’t because someone was doing neutral drops all day. Its overheating from friction in normal driving. There’s no way for things to get that hot. The whole point of the manual...

That’s a new one for me. I mean I gotta do a couple 6 to 4 then on to 3 cuz the torque just don’t exist to maintain me some speed on grade. Granted I got a roof top tent, but like my 5sp crosstrek, I rest confident that while slow, it shouldn’t have the power to grenade its driveline anytime...

Nope! you are not alone in the frustrations of this. I did pay a hefty premium to get this truck and the stick, knowing it already it was among the least powerful of it's class. And then got the initial recall scare, but thought "early fluke" "no need to spoil the whole truck" kinda deal. But...

The clutch temperature sensor thing seems weird. I don't think such readings exist. **Total shots in the dark following** I'm wondering if that 4k RPM drop test they did on the other recall would create the kind of conditions where this happens in normal driving. Me personally, I am often in...

Ooofda. This is pretty extreme. And the response is lowering the already low torque? Fragging a pressure plate is pretty extreme. Looking in another post, seems like a whole new system is available for much higher torque ratings. I also wonder what that tuning will do for future tuning. I was...

Nice!! Thanks for sharing that discount code!

License Got, and scouting the MXT275 and a bunch of accessories here (for once that tax return makes it :fingerscrossed: ) - https://www.cooltechllc.com/21-2018-jeep-wrangler-jl I'll still be a Baofeng pirate from time to time tho. But getting our local crew's coms locked in as well will be...

thanks! And no real tricks. I tossed them all in the dryer at a low temp and pulled them out one at a time to slip it over. You will want to unbolt the seat(s) but its easy to do. No real gotchas. Just take time, and warming the covers helps stretch the vinyl over the plastic trims on the seat.

I have a Borla touring (crawler) in mine. I’m very pleased with the tone. Nothing that I would call a drone at all.

PRP custom seat covers have been installed! What I did today was finally post about em! I spent the last few months giving em a good break-in along with the rest of the kit that has been installed since the fall. I absolutely love em. The tweed can be a little “itchy” feeling on bare skin, or...

Okay, updates! Got these added back in the fall, but I couldn’t post without getting some adventure testing! Tent mounted. Raptor Voyager RTT and the PRP seat covers And a few trips and trails

Catchup post from the past few days Got a set of RokBlokz (Original Long) Added some breather extensions front and rear And some brighter LED reverse bulbs
