  1. 2.0T eTorque vs Non eTorque? - anyone driven both?

    I think you hit the nail on the head: A little better gas mileage Smoother Start/Stop Reduced or no turbo lag when accelerating from below 1500 rpm.
  2. 2.0T eTorque vs Non eTorque? - anyone driven both?

    I currently can't find the article, but a professional; car tester said the performance between the e-torque and standard engine is identical. Butt dyno's aside, does anyone have real numbers based on same day testing? The purpose of BSG is to increase gas mileage, and maybe nothing else.
  3. Misguided beliefs you find annoying

    My 2012 Ram 1500 with Hemi, LSD, K02's (buy 'em at Costco) and a mild lift is also the best snow vehicle I've owned. I can make through 10" of snow. An LSD is not much of an advantage in light and medium snow. But deep snow or loose gravel can fool traction control systems into just cutting...
  4. $100K Sport? What are these dealers thinking...?

    My apologies. I didn't specify that I was talking about usable engine life, not a rebuild after 5k miles. But, my experiences are over a decade old. Maybe things have changed.
  5. $100K Sport? What are these dealers thinking...?

    Sorry but I don't buy it. Tuning a supercharged 6.2L or 6.4L to over 1000 HP such as Lingenfelter does is possible. A 3 Liter inline-6 would just blow up unless every piece was changed out. Even the basic chassis can handle only so much torque before twisting out of shape. I won't even start...
  6. $100K Sport? What are these dealers thinking...?

    1000 HP? The connecting rods would bend. If I were to boost my BMW inline-6 by more than 85 HP, I would have to start replacing drive line parts to handle the additional torque. And also, who are racing?
  7. 2020 Rubicon Worksheet

    I've added an additional section so now it shows discounts with and without the destination fee. Once you download the xlsx file, you must enable editing and disable protection for the check boxes to work.
  8. 2020 Rubicon Worksheet

    You're not being a jerk at all. I too want to get it right. AFAIK I did it right, but I''m not 100% certain.
  9. 2020 Rubicon Worksheet

    If you are talking about the FWP discount, that is based on the total vehicle price before the destination fee is added. Destination fees are not discounted.If I am wrong about this, please let me know. Maybe you got lucky.
  10. 4wd nervous, jittery and jumpy, especially on turns

    No, both an open and anti-slip differential allows the attached wheels to turn at different speeds so the wheels don't slip on dry pavement.That's why it's called a differential.
  11. 4wd nervous, jittery and jumpy, especially on turns

    Same here. I'd like to add that I put it in 4wd for deep snow even before I slip. My philosophy is to use as little as I need, in terms of locking everything up, to give myself as much margin as possible to keep from getting stuck. And that includes recognizing when 4wd hi or lo is the right...
  12. 2020 Rubicon Worksheet

    I've created an interactive Excel worksheet to make it easier (and funner) to calculate the price of a Rubicon or Rubicon Unlimited. Just check the boxes for the options you want. No rules are enforced, use the order guide to determine legal combinations.
  13. 4wd nervous, jittery and jumpy, especially on turns

    I would like to second this advice. I only switch to 4-hi or 4-lo when I'm slipping in 2 wheel mode. Otherwise I would expect some binding.
  14. August Sales

    CARSALESBASE.com has monthly sales numbers. They determine sales through registrations. They are typically a couple of months behind. June 2019 Wrangler sales were 20,055, almost exactly the 2016 number. Since August isn't over, you will need to go to Car Sales Psychics .com for August sales...
  15. 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL ORDER GUIDE (2-Door)

    In another thread it was reported that if the dealer marks the order as "sold", you can pair the 3.6L with the auto.
  16. Website update timing for 2020

    After you configure a model, the website directs you toward existing inventory. Nowhere is ordering from the factory mentioned. They are more of a sales tool that lets customers know what's available.
  17. 2020 Sarge Green Color on JL

    I too am waiting for Sarge to be available. Come December I'll place my order.
