Well before I bought that on Sunday, I went to BMW on Friday and almost came away with a 2022 X4 M Competition. But at $120,000.00 it was a no go. So I have a Ram, nicely equipped. Thanks for sharing all your insights here Shadows.

Well, I did it. Gladiator is gone on Tuesday and my new ride will be a 2022 Ram Rebel GT hemi. Nicely equipped and sweet sounding with a factory installed Borla exhaust. So, it has been a pleasure to have been on this site, and my compliments to everyone for making it an information rich...

So here we go again! Same issue with this new front axle, a rotational grinding noise this time from the front right. Last time was front left. Dealer is contacting Jeep to determine next steps. No idea how long it will be again this time. On the day this is repaired and returned to me it will...

Mine are both off center as well. The thing is they have a slant to the opposite side of the OP’s pic. When I first noticed I thought it was to accommodate a lift, which would then have it appear centered.

This is the case with my diesel, it was not an option available for my build 21 my. I checked at the dealer yesterday and the selec-Trac is still not available for the diesel Overland. Mine is a manual transfer case and I have no issues with it driving in Canadian winters.

Yes, the first time I used it I wondered about it. Then I figured out that the system I had spec’d out when I ordered does not have the auto 4x4 engagement, it is a fully manual transfer case. So possibly that makes difference, but since I have not driven a model with the auto system I don’t...

Yes, and I found that using 4x4 mode around town makes it really a lot nicer drive. The fact that the streets have been covered in snow for a month now due to the cold has made me ponder how to jump out the sensor, or trick the position switch if there is such an animal, so that the trans thinks...

MY 2021 JTOD has the 8hp75 transmission. My only complaint with this is not the trans itself, but the programming. In 2 wheel mode the shift points are too low in rpm in my opinion. It will shift at about 1500 rpm and get into 5 gear at 30kph. Too low for any type of throttle response for a...

Love that Willett bottle!

Yep, he has good info and a rational logical view. Also, the point about the ZF designation being metric, this makes very good sense being it is European in origin.

I would think, given the track record on these transmissions, and really, the lack of issues even posted here, would indicate that FCA/Stellantis are living up to the quality equation of the license agreement.

When I picked up my Jeep last January it was full of DEF. I had about 5k km on it when it went down for 19 weeks waiting for a solution to a front axle issue. No clue as to what the level was at that time. When that was resolved, I picked it up from the dealer full of DEF. Now I have 8500 km on...

Yes, here they use a 1 piece double strap set-up that is shaped like an X with 2 tails and it goes around the wheel, then the tails are ratcheted tight to the trailer. Each wheel is supposed to be strapped. Sorry, no pics, there isn’t a loaded vehicle near me.

Other than the bracket/tab that ripped out, is there anything left in your front end (other than the axle) that is JeeP?

Yeah, so we are both in the dark. ):

The real question to me is: Was the correct sway bar for the new geometry of the lift installed?

This saga makes me appreciate my dealer. Yes, my vehicle was at the shop for 19 weeks - not a typo - for a front axle shaft issue, however I was given a 2020 Gladiator launch edition Rubicon with about 10,000 km on it to drive for the whole time it was awaiting engineering instructions...

As China goes all in coal to power the grid.

Yes, it would be interesting to see that, however I think Jeep will back-off and not want to go down that road. It will be very expensive for them compared to the cost of a transmission.

He does not have to prove anything. Under the laws already quoted here it is up to Stellantis to prove the oils did the damage. Call them out on it and demand a full engineering analysis with complete details of the failure, and how the oil caused the failure. Get together with Amsoil and share...
