Yes, I'm in the same boat. And yes I have been in the HVAC/R industry for 30 years. This system sucks! 30°-50° ambient it's dying to get the cabin to 60°, no matter if I want Luke warm air in my face or not. I have a commercial auto changeover thermostat in my home that can choose between A/C or...
Thanks Bill for the warranty info, i get batteries and drain can be complicated! I will certainly stop by my dealership before this next new battery fully crashes, again for #3... I don't use any alarms or uconnect, but I get the constant bleed issue. I didn't design the 70k rig that needs...
This story has gone on too long! LE Rubicon, worked 1 year great. Then drama. Dealer batteries replaced 1st time, 2nd stop just charged, say I'm not driving it enough!? High load camping with gear up canyon 80mph 9k elevation, then works for 1 week, then dead for months. I dont want to add a...

Has anyone tried an Optima battery? I have one in my 96 911 that works great. Only trickle charged mid winter for low temps or snow. It's going on 6-7 years no jumps. Took my truck on another high load 6% freeway camping trip again. ESS working 1 week, but turned it off a few times due to 100...
Good luck my friend. They changed my batteries months ago, then failed again, did 3hr recharge. 2nd time, said I'm not driving enough , now back on this post, round 3. Hopefully your experience is positive.
Ya, I'm at a loss... It actually worked flawlessly almost a year... Maybe higher Amp alt, AMG, who knows? A tazer is the only aftermarket electrical item added for tire/gear change. And of course a Warn winch. I even have full LED pkg which should make the system happier. Anyway, thanks for any...
Got that right! I think I'm going to start monitoring my Volts and log what's going on as well... I mean I bought a Rubicon Launch, so these options were already on my rig. With that, I supposedly got the better alternator, cooling systems etc... Also, I just bought a solar/battery pack for my...
Well that lasted exactly 1 week... ESS not working again, always charging... this system is lame! Not an option I would order, more annoying than anything. So with this, add stupid side mirror alarm while offloading and one full brake system lockup while doing 70mph seeing overpass? I will say...
Just an update.... went camping, fully loaded Grizzly 75 cooler full, firewood, 70# canvas tent, chairs etc... Drove up a 6% grade highway here at 70+, then to a campsite 9k ft elevation. Anyway, today ESS worked for the first time in months! So, in short, to save a miniscule amount of gas...
So I suppose, I use a trickle charger daily to use the option this truck came with... Or I can install a small generator to power this feature! Yes, either solar panel on the hood, a diesel generator, or belt driven 2nd alternator! This issue is easy street! 🤣
Worked absolutely fine for almost a year... plus my miles are mostly city, hot stop and go, so it always gets to proper temps in a few min. Even went on tons of 3-5 hours road trips that involved offroad camping with the system not working. Running 37s, 4.88 gears and go to the Canyons...
My 2020 LE worked fine for about 10 months. First service replaced both batteries, worked for a month. Second service they said batteries good, charged for 3 hrs. Worked a few weeks then stopped. They also said I'm not driving it enough... it's a daily driver 10-20 miles even freeway speeds. So...
Got my truck into the shop today. They did want to keep it for a few hours to clear codes, check it and test drive it. I was nervous when I received a text saying they were processing the warranty which can sometimes take a week or so, but that my truck was ready to pick up.
Anyway, by the...
My Rubicon Launch only has 5 k miles on it. It has a dealer installed 2 inch lift with 37 BFG ko2s. I noticed it pulled to the right and bought a fox steering stabilizer then I had a 4 wheel alignment done in June. Helped a bit but not perfect. I'm calling my dealership and see where this goes...
I used Superchips programmer. I run 37 BFG ko2 however I recommend actually measuring the tire because I'm at 35 and 1/2. This not only corrects speedometer, gas mileage, but more importantly the odometer. Also has a few other options for later changes gears Etc. I like being able to run high...
