My Jeep was in the shop for 3 weeks to have this fixed. They finally replaced the aux battery and a module (I think). They had to get FCA involved as well. This was my 2nd repair, we'll see how long it lasts.
I have the same issue with no torque below 2,000 RPMs. You just have to rev it hard to keep it in the power band. I also agree that the rev hang is really annoying.
I have a squeak coming from the dash/steering column area. The first time I took it to the dealer, they told me they could not duplicate the concern. I took it back today and took the advisor for a ride with me. He kind of heard it a couple of times, but he's not tuned into it like I am...
Does anyone have a solution to this? I need to park my JLUS in my driveway with the top off and am worried that someone can take it out of gear and release the parking brake. Does the steering wheel lock so you can least do that? Thx.
I won't shift my Sahara into 5th below 70 mph because the RPM's drop below 2,000, and as most of you have experienced, there is no torque below 2K. It took some getting used to as my previous manual trans cars all had better gear ratios. 70+ for 5th gear and 80+ for 6th. If you leave it in...
I find that I can't shift my Sahara to 5th until at least 70 mph, and 6th is useless below 80. The engine has no torque below 2,000 RPM, so you need to keep it above that speed. I usually need to downshift for hills unless I'm going fast enough to keep the RPM's above 2,000.
I replaced the running boards on my JLUS with Rubicon rock rail take offs and I think they look much better than the boards. I don't feel like I'm driving a mall crawler, even though I spend a lot of time commuting. I did take them on some easy trails and they worked great.
I have 8K on my 2018 JLU Sahara and have a few complaints about the 6sp. I don't mind the low first gear as much as I don't like the tall 6th. I can't use 6th at anything under 80, and 5th is only good between 70-75. I've learned to hold my shift until I can get into the next gear without the...
I called Quadratec and they only have the replacement handles, not the other hardware to add this to a non-proximity key vehicle. He directed me back to the dealer. He also told me that it will most likely be a year before they come out with a complete kit.
I have the printed fenders with the black top. It was the only one with a manual transmission. I would prefer the painted top, so if anyone wants to trade, I’m in TX.
