I think it would, That's one of the reasons I installed one. As far as oil consumption the only amount lost is in the catch can. I change oil every 5,000 mi. and get about 6 - 8 oz. from the can.
I run 0w40 Mobil 1 in my 3.6 with no issues, Also with ZDDP added for good measure. Yes I know my cats will live a short life. I keep my vehicles a long time so we will see what happens in the long run. Let the flames begin !!! :punch:
Just got my 2nd. windshield at 11,400 mi. on 2019 JLR running down the interstate from Flagstaff,AZ. to DFW. Might let this one ride for a while I can't stand the thought of replacing again. I don't mind the cost with my low deductible its finding an installer that wont scratch the paint around...
I would not call that a steering pull, More like a drift. IMHO it looks more like a drift to the low side of the road. I would check tire pressure with a quality air pressure gauge and not rely on the onboard TPS. If you have a limited slip rear end a pressure difference of a few lbs. can...

One would have to get around that first, Possibly bypass that if possible. When...
I have had transmissions with remote coolers run at 175 and have a long life (over 200,000 mi. ) in many vehicles. I "think" heat is the enemy of any auto trans. fluid and I try to keep mine as cool as possible within reason.
I'm sure the Allison could double this mileage without additional...
Another vote for the Warn M8000, I've had one on a K-5 Blazer for years with hard use and never had any problems with it so that's what I went with on the JL. Had a Warn M12000 on a F-350 and kept having solenoid problems so I removed it and went with a Mile Marker Hydraulic 12,000 lb. . It...
Just curious, How many of you use a pressure washer like self service car washes or home units ? How many live in areas where road salt or beach driving could be a factor ? I'm mostly in Texas and Arizona and have not seen any of this so wondering if there is a connection. Either way Jeep...
I am interested as well, Have always used a remote cooler on older trucks with a remote spin on trans filter as well. On the older trans. a 20' or 30' deg. drop in temp. would double it's life span so they say .
Just wondering if anyone knows how the 8sp. auto goes into park ? Is it an internal lock on the gearing or like the older autos with a pin to the flywheel teeth ? I figure someone will find out soon enough by winching in park with no brakes on or has this already happened ? What do you guys...
First Jeep was a 1980 CJ5 with 304 and 4 sp. when I was 20, That started my life long addiction to 4 wheel drive. Countless K-5 Blazers, Broncos, Cherokees, Ford F-350's Power Wagon's Yea I'm old ,going on 60.
Same here, Opened the door backing into a parking spot to check how close to the curb I was getting and it slammed into park. I thought - Great that was good on the trans parking pawl. Nothing like ripping park out of a new auto trans.
Do some research on the forums, There are several threads on Surging. Mine only did it while I was in Houston, TX. for some reason and when I left that area the problem went away and has not happened again. Possible lean run condition at low speeds by a glichy Sensor who knows ? Even my dealer...
