JK vs JT/JL 3.6 …….who had the most problematic electrical issues?

How bad was the JK and what was most problematic??

hohoho
Not sure what you are referring to with the JK. I put 50K on my 2008 JK, converted it to an LS3 with 6L80 trans and my son is still driving it at 160K with zero problems. In my opinion the JK was a very good vehicle and never had any electrical issues.

Thanks all, great details.....I know nothing about JK except the change to 3.6. and they got the 5 or 6 speed auto. That's why I ask. If it's good, why limit my next spare Jeep to just TJs. Thank you All.
