...Jeep homo
Bought my 2020 gladiator a year ago with 40k miles. I heard the horror stories about jeep issues so thankfully I got an extendedwarranty because in 8000 miles this thing has

...case (and probably yours) the fault is inside the steering wheel itself and not really accessible to fix. To fix it you have to replace the entire unit. Luckily I had an extendedwarranty plan that paid for it. I actually like the new one better; went from slick leather to a more textured...
If it leaks from the bottom, it's possible that the connector is broken and an aluminum reservoir won't fix that. It's the hose connection itself. If it leaks from the top, it's most likely the inlet where the hose connects to. An aluminum reservoir would fix that. Determine where the leak is...
...still witness marks of small seeping and I can smell coolant. The dealer checked it out today, and it's not covered under my extendedwarranty, nor could they get the part today so I ended up declining the work
It seems dead simple to do myself, my only question is do I just get the stock...

Dealt with this in too many Jeeps. Death Wobble is caused by alignment and wornout parts.
Dealers do nto fix stuff anymore they remove and replace stuff. Most techs do not actually know how diagnose a problem and worse yet do not know where to look to fix. That warnetee is real...
I've had it twice both times they fixed it under warranty without a question. My suspension is all factory and thats the on.y reason from what I was told. They asked me right away if I had modified it otherwise it would be problem. Both times twas a worn out stabilizer. See s to last about 30k...
I'll echo what others have said. Spend the money on a torque wrench and check everything yourself.
Alternatively, find a good shop and pay them to do it. Not sure where in NJ you are but Globex Performance in Tom's River is top notch.
Fortunately, I haven’t had issues re: death wobble with my Jeeps but I did with my 1996 Ram; oh boy it was white knuckle time. I took my Ram to my reputable 4x4 shop where they replaced the steering stabilizer and it seemed ok for a while but then came back when I crossed the same bridge...
Check the Tracking Bar for wear and torque on that and get an Alignment. Steering Stabilizer is not the issue from my experience. Check for worn Bushings on Control Arms and Tie Rod,
...would not contribute to a wobble issue.
Take truck in yesterday... today they tell me they replaced the steering stabilizer under extendedwarranty and nothing else (well, nothing else relevant, they measured my brake pads and tire tread). I asked them if they could check the torque on my...
I am not disagreeing with you about AMSOIL Signature Series motor oil. However, someone who switches to AMSOIL Signature Series should know the details. For a vehicle that is past warranty and is taken off-road, the price-per-mile and time savings can't be beat.

First go to your dealer and get a quote for the Chrysler Max Care warranty than go to this thread: Mopar ExtendedWarranty $50 over Dealer Cost @GrangerMotors
I spent half the price with GrangerMotors than what the dealership quoted me.
When a dealer wants $3,000 it can be hard to justify the...
Info copied from Grok (I bought a warranty from Tom also and would recommend, very smooth process):
Tom Winkels works in Mopar Service Contract Sales (extended warranties like MaxCare) at LaFontaine Jeep in the Kalamazoo, Michigan area (part of LaFontaine Automotive Group).
