...is always motivated to reduce their payouts, and thus increase their profits. That is why they are in business, profits.
The only extendedwarranty I would consider is a factory Mopar extendedwarranty. If I can't get that, I am not getting one. At least with the Mopar extendedwarranty the...
Yeah, the assumption is that the gears were modded - because why would a tech be "shocked" by OE gearing, and how would OE gearing (or any gearing) cause a fluid loss in the transmission? So either you're embellishing the story significantly, the shop is a bunch of clowns who are "shocked" by...
Your replying skills could use some work, but since you tagged me I assume it was the scary comment I made? Nobody has ever flipped or almost flipped because of death wobble, so your own description of the event shows fear even if you now don't want to admit it. Its a harmonic oscillation of...
...recommendations who have had the same problem (there is a class action lawsuit). The stick poking worked, they reached out, offered extendedwarranty on new transmission and/or vehicle buy back for another truck.
So, to address your peabrain...yes I bought used. Didn't know that used jeeps...
I have no idea how you managed to destroy that transmission, the ZF8 is used all over in higher stress and much higher power engines. Something isn't adding up about your vehicle's history, it's starting to sound like the title got washed and those mods were done to cover damage.
Well sorry to hear but my experience is complete different !! 2023 Gladiator Rubicon 58,000 miles and still going strong !! Been so many places in this thing .. rocks, gravel, asphalt, mud, mountains, deserts, forest, water crossings, Arctic Ocean !! My Gladiator is a beast of an overland vehicle !
Theres always a few bad apples in every product. I have read that the 850RE (found in the gasser) might see more issues than a German built ZF, but overall they are a great transmission. One of the best performing transmissions I've owned.
I agree with everything but the transmission. I had the D clutch go out in mine. I am not a fan of the ZF transmission. Jeep replaced mine and gave me an extendedwarranty for my troubles. I didn't have my truck for 6 weeks because of supply issues, hench the extendedwarranty as compensation.

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...
