I see that Long Ranger (Not to be confused with Long Range America)! Are now importing their tanks into the USA. Does anyone have any experience running long range tanks? Seems like the extended range would be extremely useful on long distance trips. I have a V6 no e-torque so a perfect...

I reached out to Warn and they acknowledged there was the 'metal clutch block' fix, or if I wanted to 'totally alleviate the issue' they would send me a new end housing. Obviously I took them up on the latter...

Did you ever reach a resolution with this? It seems theres another thread going on this right now as a few people are starting to have this issue with recent Zeons. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/warn-zeon-clutch-lever-lock-retrofit.85780/#post-1875023

I’ll speak to Warn and see what they say. The shop that installed it spoke to Warn and said they had no knowledge of similar issues . Since then we’ve been unable to replicate it, and I’ve used it hard 3 or 4 times without issue. But I’m still concerned about a winch that can disengage itself...

I too have recently had this issue with my Zeon-10, although mine when under load rotated all the way through to disengaged and stopped winching.

Not quite sure why you would do what you did. MPG would’ve seen a good improvement just driving in hybrid mode and letting it do its thing. Gas usage sat idling for 15-30mins is literally negligible.

Does anyone know if/when the PNs would become available for the components in the Xtreme Recon package? Are they likely to limit these to XR VINs? I’d like to add the 1.5” lift vs the rest of the lifts on the market as this seems the perfect amount of lift for 35s on a JLUR.

Thank you, I will check this.

I was driving around today, (stop start disabled for info). And as I pulled up to a junction, next thing I know the engine is off and its bonging at me to put it into park before restarting the engine. I'd say I'd stalled it, but its an auto! Can't seem to find anything similar. Any ideas what...

Sorry, no link. It was more trying to justify comments made that there was no possible link between DPFs and diesel/oil dilution. Not saying this engine is anymore prone to it, just it is a potential issue with DPF equipped vehicles.

This is what I was originally looking for: https://www.discosportforums.co.uk/download/file.php?id=9522&sid=360a64fb825c6b24be1efa5ebe894b0e

The fuel is injected post combustion. This raises exhaust gas temperatures. The increased EGT burns off the soot in the DPF. Overfuelling raises EGTs. This is basically an active 'regen'. As above, the regen is done by adding extra diesel into the cumbustion process raising EGTs. The problem...

No offence..... but if you know how the system works, you would know that DPFs do and have been shown to cause diesel/oil dilution. To create regen condition (very very hot combustion temps), extra fuel is injected into the engine to start the regen process. 99% of vehicles in Europe do not have...

The problem I've found in my experience with diesel and DPFs is that they can mask issues, and you end up with a downward spiral as things escalate. E.g. turbo seals start leaking a small amount of oil into the intake. This would usually be evident by some blue smoke on a normal car. With a...

This. Although, I don't think its an issue of no lubrication. I have no issue using stop start on my V6 JL, everything is coated in an oil film and bearings are designed for stop start applications now. The issue is that that oil in the turbo bearings will get very hot very quickly when the...

Having owned several diesels in europe, some with upto 180k miles on them, I never had a problem with DPFs. Run them on good quality fuel, and yes, a decent run once a week should be all you need. I always noticed when it was doing a regen as the instant fuel economy was quite obviously...

I bought my JL Rubicon back in February from a dealer 4 hours away. When doing the deal over the phone, I said I want an upgrade to LED lighting. He came back and told me that an LED lighting upgrade for the headlights and foglights would be a $1500 (CAD) job, but they'd split that with me. I...

What sliders are they?

Thanks. I spoke to a couple of dealers and even they see the note "not available in Canada", but told me they can see stock orders to warehouses and looks like they should be able to get their hands on them towards the end of March.
