That's the cool thing about ordering one vs buying one off the lot. My name is on mine, too. I'm sure it costs them nothing, but the Jeep geek in me loves it.
So, I was browsing the Blackstone site and came across this post. Hilarious (and accurate):

How to Change Your Oil
Look out window. Determine that today is the day because it’s supposed to rain all next week and...
Well, I just took mine in for the second time... fingers crossed this one "sticks." I just re-geared over the holidays and if they have to replace the entire axle I'm going to guess they won't order one with a 5.13 in it from Dana.
... And likely once they find out that I re-geard they will...
I've had no issues with mine, either - 2 years.
The spring perches on the wrong side are the only reason I can think of why you'd get bow in the front.
Oh and also.... please don't take offense at this suggestion, but when you read "left" and "right" on the instruction sheet, that's when...
I just didn't feel like it helped anything that I could "feel" in the steering. After running 37" tires for the last 2 years, maybe it has saved me from getting any looser, but I can't say. For me, I guess, it was more like an insurance policy than a "wow, gotta have it" upgrade.
Yeah, my recommendation was from first-hand experience working on the older 3.8's and some of the newer P*'s. I tried Bosch to save money and was disappointed every time.
Same goes for fuel injectors - stay with the MOPAR ones and avoid Bosch like the plague.
Also, these are not particularly complicated - they are not passing signals like CANbus or anything just a simple 5V circuit so just repairing the wire should be fine as long as it passes voltage and doesn't have some unusual resistance.
Finally - if you end up wanting to replace it I would...
Removing it is no big deal, but I would recommend an O2 socket like this:
It slips over the wires, but otherwise it's just a 7/8" socket.
To your question about anti-seize the answer is yes, but just a little bit on the threads - make sure you do not get it on the sensor part.
One hint, that might already be in the other thread the OP mentioned - If you pull down on the plugs and the tab isn't 100% depressed, it kind of gets locked in limbo. At that point no amount of tab pressing or pulling hard will make it come loose (a lot of these types of connectors behave the...
Good thing I don't continually buy-n-trade. I have over 200k miles on my 2008 JK that I gave to my oldest son. I bought my JT to replace it when he turned 16. I'll keep this one as long as I can as well.
Some of you guys seem to have bottomless pockets - good for you! And those others that...
Maybe it's your camera, but it looks like there is leak detect in that fluid to me - especially that last picture (very yellow). Going by @ShadowsPapa's post, it may be ATF.
How long have you had it? The winter gas blend kills my MPG every year. Over the summer months I get 18-ish on the hwy, 16 MPG average. Right now my average MPG on the dash is 13.5.
