Calm down, Steve. No need to throw exclamation points at the end of every sentence. Simply saying that you disagree and stating why is enough and respectfully preferred. The reason for my six mile long post, and this seven mile long one, maybe eight, was to show that "design flaw", as you put...

Good for you, you're actually one of the drivers that knows how to not ride the clutch. However, as I stated, "bad design" could mean several things. The end result is that the clutch failed catastrophically. Your driving style, like most able bodied manual transmission owners, will likely...

20 gauge, bird shot. Just kidding? What? I live in AZ. They issue you a gun, an Oldsmobuick, and a melanoma treatment punch card as soon as you move here. I felt obligated to my state to suggest superior fire power. Go team! nevermind, bad idea.

RCLRPT-21V028-2204.PDF (nhtsa.gov) Specifically page 4. "There is no defective part. The issue is the result of design specification." That last part could mean several things, but it is the determination of a "bad design." It could be simply procedural (improper/insufficient bleeding of...

Jeep has admitted "bad design" in their notices, the flash is more of a nanny for those who do NOT know how to drive a manual transmission. Under normal circumstances, the nanny will never affect torque; however, if the input and output is calculated to be different than expected for a specific...

First off, I understand your frustration. Personally, I haven't even gotten my Gladiator that I ordered mid-December due to the MT recall and likely other factors like parts availability and supply chain woes due to Covid. But I think focusing your irritation at Jeep is only half right...

Let it be. Go and hit the trails, it sounds like you are very well versed in rolling with the punches and coming out of it looking to still give and take a swing. The most memorable trips I've had were ALWAYS the ones that never went according to plan. Those filled with tiny disasters are the...

High five? ? Yeah, pretty damn pathetic. Standard vehicles and they can't even manage them in a respectable turnover. Not at all impressed with FCA. I'm not sure what's worse, them keeping us in the dark, them thinking we won't mind being kept in the dark, or them actually not knowing any...

Jeep chat just told me ETA is 3/29 - 4/12 subject to change. I ordered it 12/18. Fifteen weeks. Fifteen godDAMN weeks for a truck! Sport S with a manual. I know there was winter break in there, also know about the recall, and I know that Covid has slowed production and availability for...

I say camp however you like as long as you don't make it unpleasant for everyone else AND leave the place better than how you found it.

Agreed. Along with the entire drivetrain. I think there are some engineers at FCA champing at the bit to get a hold of this thing for complete dissection.

Hooray Kay-Gee! Yeah, they even sounded better.

Rumelys are some of the most beautiful tractors I've ever seen. I always wanted an Oil Pull just didn't want to sweat more than the engine. :LOL:

On the plus side, the transfer case, rear end, and transmission were able to throw all that torque back at the engine. Pretty amazing drivetrain when you think about it. And, if he managed to get up to 60, if it took 52,000 rpm as @AmishMike calculated to grenade the engine, and knowing...

1927/8 Minneapolis Moline. Her clutch works fine. ZING! :LOL: She usually hangs out at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine show down in Vista, CA. Haven't been in ages, but this old beater creaks and squeaks her way about the grounds. No stealthy uranium rods, just good ol' fashioned ozone...

I don't know, this kinda prevents him from Jeepin'; so, I guess this would be Idiot Prevention Mode for the entire off-road world. God bless natural selection. In that respect, I see this guy like that one wildebeest that got singled out by the pride of lions. Us hyenas get to watch it in...

"Finalize the remedy" means "our lawyers have organized an airtight case against the contractor and are currently dotting all the "T"s and crossing all the "I"s before we take it into litigation to wash our hands of the problem and force the defendants to produce a corrected clutch at their own...

Saw this in my news feed this morning. This thing reminds me of a generator I saw at the Onan plant. The entire bell housing was flowered away and there was barely enough left of the engine to identify it as one. Story was that some guy was powering up his house during an outage and forgot to...

I must admit that topper tents and bed tents are pretty damn cool; however, there's nothing wrong with a ground tent and a big ol' air mattress. Just another perspective that's extremely easy and inexpensive. The dog prefers it too. The real dog, that's not what I call my wife. Never lose...
