1. It’s about 40k for a motor, trans and atlas with an install.
All those Jeeps and you still can't figure out what a JT is good for?
Couldn't give me a Motech anything..been their done that.
want to elaborate on that? If you weren’t using MoTech for an LT swap, who would you use?
You know I've had J10s, a J20 and a J4000. I knew what they were good for as they were real trucks. If Jeep would have made the JT more like a truck and not half and half I might have figured it out by now.
I'm guessing you don't tow. I regularly tow a 3000lb trailer and have had water temps go critical, oil temps hit 269 and Trans temps go nuts towing in mountainous areas. Even a short 3 Mule 6% grade and water temps and trans temps in the 240s with oil temps 268+. You don't have that in the Ram 1500 EcoD because there is plenty of room for the engine to cool and why the Ram with the same engine has an 11K tow rating (then again it has a full truck frame which the JT doesnt). I've been told by several dealers that have had to do warranty repairs nationwide and a Jeep VP telling me the diesel should never have been offered in the US. It's great if you don't tow and dont drive in mountains but it has too many short comings. My exhaust got so hot that it burned a 6" hole thru it that looked like it had been hit with a light Saber. Turbo replaces twice, tyranny failed at 40K miles. Engine leaking oil now from front and rear seals, transfer case needed fixed, seals on rear axles twice, elec sway bar system replaced 3 times now in shop a 4th time for it, they trying to say it won't be covered by warranty this time. Electrical issues, DEF issues like it won't regenerate, premium sound speakers need replaced, premium head unit is being replaced, rear camera replaced twice, the proximity sensors show phantom vehicles next to me when it rains, they can't duplicate so they can't fix. I cam go on but I think you get the picture.My thoughts..I haven't had a water temp issue as the oil is always 10-25* hotter so that's why I'd just do the oil if offered. Cooler oil should also result in cooler water temps. IC shouldn't make any difference unless egt's are getting out of line. Taking more heat from the intake air, that heat will get directed to the radiator..then will need a more efficient Radiator and a fan that can pull more cfm and static pressure...
DELETED??? thought about it but its a Federal and State FELONY with heavy fines and jail time PLUS you void your warranty. Just not worth the consequences but your point is well taken as to the benefits.
Well, not all of us live in the USA thankfully. Emission standards are not enforced in Canada as long as you aren't a commercial vehicle, you can run deletes all day long and they won't bother you. I hold no value with the Jeep warranty. I use my Jeep as a Jeep, I fully expect them not to honor their warranty.
