I know one of the things I"m going to monitor on my next long tow is whether the Jeep is in ACC or OFF. I noticed that when I hooked up the jeep for a short (90 miles) tow last weekend home from the motorhome dealer (routine service stuff) the Jeep didn't go into OFF mode and that could have...

I'm still trying to figure out why I'm only having problems when I'm flat towing the Jeep. 20K and one year and it starts up like clockwork but when I flat tow, even though there's a charging system that's part of the auxiliary braking system, the auxiliary battery that starts the JL gives me...

My understanding is that the auxilary braking system I have already includes that feature. It's part of what drove the price well over $4K.

I have what appears to be exactly the same problem though I think my auxiliary braking system is the Air Force One or something like that. On long tows, I run into starting problems with the 2018 JL Sahara and what's particularly weird is if I just walk away from the Jeep for like 40 minutes, it...

The only difference from the manual (we’re talking orally, demonstrated, and me at the wheel with him) was not to turn the engine off for getting it from 2H to N via 4W or back again but rather let it idle, with the transmission in Neutral. With the engine off, the gears apparently don’t mesh...

Took it to the dealer yesterday late in the day for tomorrow and they were shocked that I was following the instructions in the manual. Both the service manager and lead tech told me I'll do more damage trying to shift in and out of neutral with the engine off getting the gears to mesh than if I...

4Low wasn't the goal that I struggled with that too. All I cared about what getting in and out of Neutral.

Yes and I'm not insulted :-) though I feel like an idiot doing this. I haven't tried to shift out of neutral with the engine on because that's not the instructions. That's why I"m hopefully bringing it in later today. Let Jeep techs verify my ride is operating properly and I think after...

Yes, after flat towing, the engine is started, the AT is changed from Park to Neutral. Engine is shut down. And then the fun begins as I try to get the Transfer Case out of Neutral into anything. Eventually I succeed but never in less than 7-10 minutes of trying and often longer.

I’m not complaining it’s difficult. I’m complaining that I can’t do it period except by accident. I hooked it up the day I left, day 2, day 7 and day 8 and it was 15-20+ minutes of struggling to get into neutral all but day 8 when I tried going into 4H while moving and then going into neutral...

Just flat towed my 2018 Wrangler JL (bought in Nov) from NJ to Georgia and back. Getting it in and out of neutral is a bitch following the steps in the manual. Discovered I could better get it into neutral from 4H but shifting on the move first and then using 4H to position myself behind the...
