From FCA: STELLANTIS: the new global mobility leader to be formed by FCA and @GroupePSA . Derived from ‘stello’, a Latin verb meaning “to brighten with stars”, the name evokes the spirit of the new group and the ambitious alignment of its storied automotive brands. https://bit.ly/2Zxmn5K...

Would that "high torque straight 6" be the on that makes the same torque at peak that the Pentastar meets or exceeds from 1800 to 6350rpm? The 3.6 likes revving but it has a pretty flat torque curve.

Don't leave out the extra maintenance: regular fuel filter changes, the cost of DEF, and a long block every 75,000 miles

Based on the class action lawsuit of the older versions of the EcoDiesel shittting themselves I'd hold off a few years to see if the 2018+ models got those bugs worked out.

There isn't an option to unlock on park. Best option would probably just be to disable auto lock, which is an option and flip the child protection lock on the rear doors.

The OG Pentastar (JK) is E85 compatible, the upgraded Pentastar (JL/JT) is rated for up to E15.

Aftermarket LED housings are usually cheap, blind anyone in front of you, and break quickly. LED bulbs in stock reflector housings are just a dick move and without the proper projector housing probably don't even shine any further, just blast everything with bright AF white light. Shitty...

I don't think it's an interference fit, more that the gear itself makes up the back of the phaser.

With low confidence, I believe the cam gear is integral to the phaser and the phaser in unkeyed and has one large bolt that attaches to the cam.

The JL/JT (amongst other models starting in 2016) have an upgraded 3.6 with a completely different cam setup. The intake cams are tri-lobe (three lobes per cylinder). Two small outer lobes set up for one lift, duration, and centerline and an inner lobe set up for another lift, duration, and...

I'd imagine the three lobes for each cylinder on the intake cams would make this rather difficult. The OG Pentastar already made 90% of their torque from 1800rpm and the upgrade supposedly improved that. Outisde of forced induction there's only so much you can get out of 3.6L.

That's a interesting theory. Maybe I'll bust my BlueDriver out and tinker with it to see what variables are floating around when it stutters a bit. Could definitely be a delay between an adjustment of the EGR valve and throttle plate. Hopefully it'll also pick up when it switches valve lift, I'm...

I would hope that after building the same cars for a decade you'd be able to get the assembly process down. Newest designs in the Dodge line-up were launched in 2011.

Loaded Overland. Wanted all the features but the Rubi was way more than I'd ever use. If the Mojave was around when I bought the decision my have been different.

2 hands. The normal mounting location on the Pentastar places it too low to have met the engineers' goals on the Wranger for water fording. It's been in that location since the Pentastar was put in the JK and kept it there for the JL/JT.

It's a hydraulic steering system with a variable electronic pump. Will it remove play from physical lash in a steering box? Absolutely not, but changing some of the behavior of the how and when it varies assist will make it feel different. Did I think it would help? Not really, but it was worth...

This. On my Honda the auto high beams, auto wipers, and fog lights weren't working and some options weren't showing on the radio when I got it. (Botched pre-delivery inspection?). Turned out to be fairly common. The internet fix: unhook the battery for 5 minutes to force the modules relearn the...

Bought in December 2019, currently have ~4500 miles. The powertrain has been fantastic. Steering is loose but it doesn't bother me enough to deal with the dealership until there's a fix. Also, the Bluetooth speaker won't connect without factory resetting it each time but will wait for something...

It's loose with a dead zone but don't have another JT to compare it to.

I figured what the hell and tried it. Can't say I noticed a difference.
