  1. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) on 2018-2020 JL Manuals [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    Only among millennials. Sorry I couldn't resist. In all seriousness, what I have gathered from this forum is that some 'new to manual' drivers were so unaware of how manuals work and how to use them properly, they weren't able to understand that a slipping clutch indicated a quality problem...
  2. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) on 2018-2020 JL Manuals [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    I wonder why that says slave cylinder. That would actually make more sense if the defective slave cylinder was holding residual pressure on the pressure plate and allowing slippage. My issue with the original recall notice is that it describes heat due to friction. There isn't that much heat...
  3. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) on 2018-2020 JL Manuals [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    This thread is slowly confirming that the issue is owners who have no idea how a manual operates. If you have no idea how things work, you will be completely unaware you are abusing it to the point of catastrophic failure. FCA may have had a quality problem that caused clutch slippage, but...
  4. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) on 2018-2020 JL Manuals [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    What in God's name are you talking about? The "computer" cannot operate the clutch. Your vehicle may have a problem if you have an engine rev while you are not touching the clutch pedal.
  5. Jeep JL Wrangler plug in hybrid pics (with underbody) from CES

    It’s coming! I’ll be there all week and hope to get details and some pics. Updated with photos: Battery is under the body. Looks similar to the eTorque battery. Exhaust resonator looks slightly reduced. Show girls had no details, and there was no mention of an inverter for camp use. The...
  6. No PHEV Wrangler Reveal at LA Auto Show 2019

    If you can’t understand the benefit of a 16kWh power source for car camping, I probably can’t help you. But what are you guys doing on the PHEV wrangler forum? Isn’t Wheel of Fortune on right now?
  7. No PHEV Wrangler Reveal at LA Auto Show 2019

    You guys are a riot. This isn't the future, it's the present. My car drives my ass to work every day while I ponder podcast preferences. It's warmed up for me when I get into it in the winter, and pre-cooled for me in the summer. It's full of fuel every morning, and I don't have to play...
  8. No PHEV Wrangler Reveal at LA Auto Show 2019

    Great question. I have some experience sleeping in my car. In the case of the Model S (75kWh) The battery can easily run the AC overnight. It's bizarrely efficient, and I would estimate it could be run 3-4 days straight. I have been told this is related to the high voltage AC compressor...
  9. No PHEV Wrangler Reveal at LA Auto Show 2019

    I was hoping this was the week...but it looks like it's not happening. If the diesels were on dealer lots, I would probably be calling uncle. I was excited for the prospect of being able to run the HVAC all night on the battery. I can do this on the Tesla, and it would be perfect for camping...

    Wow. Thanks for the photo. I think you just sold me!
  11. XM Travelink include weather radar maps?

    Thanks for the info. It looks like the travelink is prepaid for 5 yr, IF I am reading the website correctly. Any chance you could take a pic of the radar map
  12. XM Travelink include weather radar maps?

    I’m trying to decide if I will get the larger Uconnect 4C NAV audio upgrade. One of the things that interests me is the prospect of a weather radar map. This is apparently part of the technology but depends on the vehicle. Can someone with the larger Uconnect 4C system take a photo of the...
