  1. Aftermarket alternator?

    My 2019 JLUR with the 3.6 just killed it’s second pair of batteries since I installed the Genesis dual battery system less than 10,000 miles ago. The jeep has less than 15,000 miles on it, so it’s spent most of its life in my shop on a Noco smart charger. Last week the check engine light came...
  2. Genesis Dual Battery upgrade/discount/alternative?

    I installed the Genesis dual battery system in my first 18 months of modifying my 2019 JLUR. There are some great Genesis benefits, but one of the big negatives is the system’s substantial parasitic drain on the batteries. That isn’t a problem for folks who drive their jeeps every day, but it IS...
  3. LED headlight bulb marketing hogwash

    Like the aftermarket air filter hogwash, there is a truckload of BS marketing dominating aftermarket lighting discussions. It’s compounded by customers who report great results without objective comparison. Are LED lights brighter? Some are MUCH brighter, but some of the most expensive...
  4. Cold Air Intake hogwash

    The ”cold air intake“ claims have been discussed a lot over the years. During one of those debates I tried unsuccessfully to find a diesel forum thread that described very extensive testing that measured resistance, filter efficiency, load resistance, and other filter characteristics. Today I...
  5. Sema Jeep concepts

    Maybe you folks have seen all of these. I hadn’t. The first one “Rewind” trends toward the smaller traditional Jeep many of us would like to see:
  6. Forum settings?

    Good day! Do any of you know how to disable automated notifications from this forum? I keep getting notices that my password is no longer unique. I don’t care, as I don’t store national secrets, access banking information, or do anything else that matters on this website, so I don’t need to...
  7. Problem pets

    My yellow lab has absconded with my Jeep. He was last seen heading south just south of Winchester Bay, Oregon. A good samaritan got the picture at about 1300 hours this afternoon. Please post notice here if you see him or my jeep.
  8. Genesis dual battery fire?

    I installed the Genesis dual battery system a few years ago. Since that time my biggest challenge has been keeping a charge on the batteries. I’ve been working a lot, so the jeep lives in the garage on a battery charger. I’ve been using the Noco 10 amp smart charger, but it doesn't keep the jeep...
  9. Phone pairing problem after low battery?

    All, I went to start the jeep yesterday and the battery was too low, so I jumped it and let it run for a while before running errands. The battery is fully charged now, as the start/stop feature is operational, but I have a check engine light illuminated. I fussed with my Taser a bit, then...
  10. Ever asked Jeep cares for help? Result?

    I hope there are enough options in the poll… The internet attracts more complaints than positive comments (about everything). Maybe this poll will provide a more complete pocture of the value if Jeep Cares.
  11. Oregon 35” Goodyear Duratracs

    These were on my Ford Raptor, so they’re currently mounted on 17” Fuel wheels that I will sell separately. The tires are currently studded, but the studs can be removed with a little soapy water and a small screwdriver. They have less than $10,000 miles on them. Asking $400 for the set. They’re...
  12. Oregon 37” KO2s (5) on 9x17” KMC wheels

    Bought these as the summer tires, as I had a set of studded ATX for winter use. Ran them for part of a summer. Less than 6,000 miles on four of the tires and zero miles on the 5th. Decided to remove studs from the ATX and run them year round, as our pickup became the winter ice vehicle. $1750...
  13. 2.0 battery battery/charging diagnosis

    All, I’m sharing this for my brother. I hope you can help. He is trying to troubleshoot his brand new battery from AutoZone to figure out if he has an issue with the Jeep or the battery. His jeep is a 2019 JLUR with about 40,000 miles on it. The jeep worked fine on the original battery, but he...
  14. Dealership fee norms? Florida? Shenanigans?

    This isn’t a jeep question. It’s a local law and convention question. I’m trying to buy a pickup, but I haven’t been on the diesel truck forums much over the last ten years, so I don’t “know” people there. I’m hoping this group can fill me in on dealership gamesmanship and imaginary fees...
  15. Post pandemic sales UP sharply, but Stellantis sales down.

    Overall Jeep sales were off 6%, with Wrangler sales down 14%. Both are significant, given the increase in sales of almost everything else (Except Bronco, which is down even more.) Autoweek sales data
  16. New Year’s Resolutions?

    For me the top five are: 1) Retire 2) Spend more time with kids, grandkids, and friends. 3) Travel more trails and states with my Jeep, my wife, and my dog 4) Fill the freezer with elk and fish more 5) Complain less I’m optimistic about being able to achieve the first four. :like:
  17. Quality shop recommendations

    We hear a lot about crappy 4-wheel drive shops and lousy work being done, particularly by dealerships and national chains. I thought it might be helpful to have a list of great independent 4x4 shops. I’m talking about places where old fashioned mechanics work, not “technicians” who don’t really...
  18. Actual Experience with Edelbrock supercharger?

    I know that forced induction presents risks. I understand the merits of gearing changes, and I know that some motors are better suited than others to withstand the stresses of turbos and/or superchargers. I can find lots of chatter on general theories and risk versus benefit analysis based on...
  19. Grand Cherokee 4xe?

    Do any of you have experience with the new Cherokee 4xe? If so, please weigh in. We had a 2016 Grand Cherokee diesel that my wife loved. It was comfortable, quiet, peppy, and fun to drive. It also got better than 30 mpg. Sadly, we sold it after six years because the performance and fuel economy...
  20. Inexpensive way to add power AND improve fuel economy! Nope!

    Nope! If you see claims like this they are crapola. Coil packs, cold-air intakes, throttle body spacers, high performance plugs and plug wires, chrome-plated gazornplats, high-speed dip-sticks… It’s all crap. Stellantis and, previously, FCA, have spent hundreds of millions of dollars working...
