But again, what you're dealing with is a specific case (and a very solvable one at that). To go from that to saying every single vehicle with this engine across the entire brand is trash just doesn't track. The PUG is statistically one of the most reliable engines out there. I would suggest you...

Wait no. Don’t go just yet. I’m waiting to find out how to “except” a fact.

What? I'm so confused. So you don't want any help?

You went to one dealership...unless you've omitted something from your post? I would go to a different one and get a fresh diagnosis. There are good dealers and absolute garbage dealers in Florida. Not all dealers are equal. If you share the area of Florida you're in, you can probably get...

Take it to a different dealership. This sounds like an issue with the people.

Here's the rolling cover link, since they only mentioned the folding cover in their post: https://realtruck.com/p/rugged-ridge-armis-soft-rolling-tonneau-cover/

I had the Tyger T3 tri-fold for 3½ years and eventually went to the T1 rollup. It's just easier to manage, use, and get full access to the bed. You don't know you want full access until you need it, and the only way to get it with the tri-fold is to take it off. After two or three times having...

It's just a stock plastic bumper. A hitch mounted winch will clear it. And right now I'm not looking to replace or modify it.

That's great info. The weight aspect is a concern I had, but I'm also concerned about how much you can realistically pull with the 5500. Have you used it for any kind of recovery-like situation yet?

So the same thing I'm looking to do, just raised up instead? What advantage would this give me? I guess my point here is that I'm installing the front receiver for multiple uses, and it makes sense to have winching as one of those uses. I'm trying to find more information on what I need to...

I had a similar thought. I then started thinking about supplementing the connection point to compensate. Hitches can pull an awful lot as it is.

I am planning to install a front hitch to use for a variety of things, and one of which is the idea of popping in a winch when needed. This appeals to me because #1 I don't have to carry it with me when I don't need it and #2 I can't bumper mount my winch due to my offroad lights being there...

Perfect for when I need to guide aircraft to my remote landing strip!

There’s also a button on the dash that will disable ESS. Yes, you have to push it every time you start up, but it’s free and it works.

Do a search, there’s a lot of info on the topic that can answer this for you.

I am not convinced this is a battery issue. I know everyone likes to point to that, and while it's true it's the most common reason, it is not the only reason you can get this message. Anything that has gone wrong that is a condition of ESS working will do this. Sensors, switches, there's a lot...

I 100% agree with what you said about the lines. I had the same thought looking at them. I also tend to think simpler is better when it comes to design. I appreciate the help! By the way, your designs are also awesome. Simple, but complex at the same time. I love it.

Kinda like this?

That's a good question, but I don't know what the designed requirements are for that system relative to expected load and voltage maintenance. That would be a internal Jeep tech document. Chances are that yes, something smaller could do the job, but then you build in a safety buffer in the...
