It's the opposite problem (too much force is required to make the connection), though the effect is the same as you surmise. "Between April 2025 and May 2025, FCA US TSRC learned the EHPSP header was manufactured out of specified tolerances, resulting in insertion forces which exceed the...

If folks are really freaked out about the very slight chance their vehicle may catch fire while parked then yes, disconnecting the battery is an effective way of preventing this potential issue. The sad thing is I fully expect the result of that action would be a sudden uptick in the number of...

The recall only applies to JLs made from Jun 24, 2020 - Dec 02, 2024, and JTs made from Aug 18, 2020 - Dec 02, 2024. No, your 2026 isn't affected.

The supporting document shown in post #36 lists the affected vehicles by model year, electronic power steering pump part number, and engine code. Yes, the ecodiesel is on the list (code EXJ). As I noted earlier in post #84, Stellantis found that part of the power steering pump was manufactured...

Based on the following quote from the recall info I posted earlier, it sounds like the connections at or inside the pump are primarily suspect here, not the wire harness. That said, we're in a holding pattern until the inspect/fix procedure comes out. "Between April 2025 and May 2025, FCA US...

Won't know for certain exactly what all they'll do until the actual recall fix procedure comes out (supposedly in July), but a power steering pump replacement doesn't require the cab to be removed.

So we have 1,076,999 vehicles affected, 51 known fires, and an estimated 0.1% of the vehicles expected to have an actual defect. Nope, not going to lose one bit of sleep over leaving the truck in the garage.

The tailgate might be good for garage wall art or used to make a bench, the rest scrap. https://m.roadkillcustoms.com/how-to-make-a-tailgate-bench/

Info I'm finding says a hard roll-up tonneau like the BAK Revolver weighs at most 90 pounds. I personally don't see the hassle of removing and storing the tonneau really being worth that little of weight saving for the occasional camping trip, and especially not so if done more frequently.

The two batteries are electrically connected whenever the PCR is closed, which is 100% of the time when the ignition is switched off. Connecting a maintenance charger to the main battery or through the seven pin trailer plug will charge both batteries.

I'll say a 50/50 chance the manual transmission will return, 100% chance of sticker "special edition" packages, and practically zero chance of different powertrain options.

A faulty PCR cannot make the vehicle not restart if you're not seeing any electrical anomalies or weird indications on the dash. All the PCR does is disconnect the positive connection between the auxiliary and main batteries. While the PCR is open, the auxiliary battery powers basically all of...

X2, a runaway winch is not good. Have you figured out why it did that yet? Incorrect connection somewhere? Sticking solenoid? Bad remote? What brand/model?

So to be clear you are verifying that the vehicle acts like it's doing a normal ESS stop but it fails to restart normally. Tazers can sometimes cause odd glitches. Have you tried unmarrying and removing the Tazer to see if that stops the problem?

Your description is too vague to get an accurate idea of the problem. Is it just the engine switching off or is everything going dark? Is the vehicle exhibiting normal conditions for an ESS shut off, ie, do your dash indications stay normal with no warning lamps, radio and HVAC continue...

Can you pull any slack whatsoever in the belt or is it completely taut?

@stevenmicheal You do realise the OP lives in Texas, right? Are you suggesting he drives somewhere around 2000 miles with a cooling system problem?

Good to hear things got sorted! Thanks for the follow up info. :like:

The level should be somewhere between the two marks, checked when cold. If you find yourself having to check the level when hot, it should be no higher than the upper mark. With the coolant level having dropped, it would be a good idea to give the cooling system a thorough looking over to see...

Possible air pocket in the cooling system would be my first guess as well. When you say the reservoir had a little coolant in it, was the level above or below the low mark?
