feather the brake pedal or double pump it when you stop the engine will never shut off.

Well, if you have the diesel (and it looks like you do) The manual say to let it cool down before shutting off the engine to allow your turbo to cool a little. As soon as your engine shuts off, the oil flow in your turbo also stops, and can cook in a hot turbo. I believe the advice is to allow your turbo temp to drop below 400f before shutting down (I have a scanguage2 to see the turbo temp on mine). This is mentioned in the manual (though it give cooldown times rather than turbo Temps).

If auto stop/start is happening, the cool down period isn't happening.

Now, it may work forever without issues, but I disabled my auto stop/start for this reason.
I suspect, just as Auto/S/S is disabled when cabin temp is not achieved or other factors, I suspect it would also avoid shut down when the temps are high as you mentioned.

Pic from Manual shows high temp is one of many reasons A.S.S. will NOT engage to protect engine, battery, comfort etc

The manual trans doesn't get rid of the AutoSS. Only thing that changes is it won't engage if it's not in neutral and clutch pressed down.
correct, but my clutch is always down at stops so the AutoSS as you call it (called "ESS" in my manual) is dead to me (and good riddance)

button twice and flip on the front camera to see if my winch is going to hit someone when I pull in a parking spot.
Damn, I simply learned where the front of my vehicle is and never worry about it. You get a sense of where it ends up there after a while.

Like said - choices. Since I don't really need anything the tazer does - I can see why people save 200 bucks by using the simple circuit sold by a forum sponsor (I think they still are) or save 300 by just pressing a button just like you press a button to start it, the more to connect your phone and open apps and listen to music. I bet most Jeep people press at least 4 or 5 things every time they get in - what's one more LOL

Think deeper. I bought an inline dongle and now regret it.

It works perfectly- but now I’m finding other things I want to tweak and am realizing that I’m gonna need a Tazer.

so money spent on the dongle was a waste (as Tazer has ASS eliminate also)

Unless you are wanting to use the Tazer live features, Jscan or AlfaOBD is less expensive for making adjustments.

Yup - on my third JT and still haven't found a reason for the expense.

Tazer - nuff said as it remembers.

I have noticed when AS/S is on, every time I come to a stop, the engine stops, and I need to immediately restart. I think the longest the engine has actually shut off for me is about 2 seconds, maybe 3. No gas savings and I am wondering what that does to the starter, fuel system, etc. long term.

Nothing. Check the other thousands of posts. You can not press the pedal so hard and it won't shut off.
This is about how to disable it, not that other junk.

That's not real good for the throwout bearing.
A lot of things wear the throwout bearing, including normal driving. I've never had a problem and i have close to 60k on my Gladys. Then again, my stops tend not to be very long.

I've literally timed stop lights here at 2 minutes. That's a lot of idling with the clutch pedal down. And we can't forget the pilot bushing or bearing as well on some vehicles. It's one reason I adapted my 4.0 and T5 to use a ball bearing instead of the usual bronze bushing -all of the long stops here. Even at stop signs, you can be sitting for about a minute. The area is growing far faster than the supposed experts planned for (or actually never planned for)
