Oddly the dealer only replaced my Aux battery. Another dealer thinks the IBS needs to be replaced. I know so many JKU and JLU and JT owners with this issue, I agree the IBS is bad, but I don't think replacing a bad design with another one will help. I am going to let them if it is under...

I still don't have a "final outcome" After 30 days I threw in the towel and asked the dealer to send it back. With two new batteries, it's hard to swallow the cost of the Gemini system but that looks like the real solution, but I am going to try the solar charger and see how that goes. It...

The 2019 JLU in my profile photo has had battery issues since day one. I think this is normal for just about everyone, we just don't see it unless we don't drive them. I have learned that like other dual battery cars, if you lock the Jeep some things turn off lowering the draw. Unlocked it...

I recently got a "throttle body error and then complete shutdown one mile later. Dealer said only error code was low voltage, nothing about throttle body. So much fun....

Since picking my 2019 JLU up it has had a battery problem. If it remained parked, in the shop or CoolToys.TV studio for more than 3 days it was dead. The dealer rep said that leaving it unlocked left a computer running which drains the battery. He also suggested a battery maintainer. It...

I left mine at the dealer until they were sure it was fixed. It has had a battery drain issue since I picked it up. If I left it parked for more than 4 days unlocked it was always dead. At the dealers suggestion, I keep it on a battery tender. Now I am told there is another drain issue that...

Interesting thought to turn off ESS. Last month, after it stopped during start/stop cycle, I got a red flashing « Throttle body Error » followed by « protection mode ». It went 1 mile and died in my driveway. After a deep cycle of both batteries it started fine and went straight to the...

It all depends on where you use it, my opinion from above stands. If you are at high altitude the i4 beats the V6 because turbo's don't lose power when the air thins. That said I would gladly trade my i4 for the diesel without blinking. The diesel is also a turbo so pulling up a hill in Tahoe...

Regardless of some of the other comments, as a "Mild Hybrid" driver, I am a bit jealous and at the same time afraid to look under the CoolToysTV JLU after a trek outside of St. George Utah. I could not stop going down and never looked at inclinometers. But there were some big bounces on the way...

Ah thanks, you have the V6 though? I had the JKU 6 and at altitude the thing would drop to 4th going up any hill. The little 4 banger turbo holds 7th or 8th if it gets there. I don't see 8th till 70 though. 3.47 axle I guess.

I used to have a JKU before this JLU, and I have taken both on trails that would scare most with bone stock tires. But since I live in Southern California, getting to great trails is at least a 2 hour drive, and 6 hours last week going to Zion. MOAB is next on the plan. I saw my JKU with...

Something to keep in mind when losing 8th is the gearing (I have the 3.47 highway setup) and the motor. The 2.0t keeps power at altitude. The 3.0 can lose half or more in the higher altitudes due to a lack of air. There is another thread all about that somewhere. I traded my 6 speed 3.0 JKU...

Hey all, just want to say thanks for being here. I have a stock 19' JLU Sahara and just saw my 16 JKU with 35's running around town. It looked way cooler so I was thinking about it. I have taken both of these with stock tires on trails that nearly got me divorced. Just this week I went...

So Wranglerman, I really like the look of your setup. Since you are in Katy I have a few questions after my recent run through Zion and then 80mph back down I15 in Utah. Honestly crawling the trail to Toquerville falls wasn't that bad with my stock Sahara, same tire/wheel setup as your before...

What do you mean you "lost 8th gear"? Do you mean it won't shift into 8th until 75? Or do you mean to go faster it drops to 7th?

I too have had both and as I said way earlier in this thread, passing uphill in the Tahoe region (6000ft+) the 2.0t walks away from the Pentastar V6. I truly enjoy them both for different reasons. I agree with @entropy that the V6 does feel a bit more predictable and refined. One of our...

Thank you! I will give this a try. The dealer said there is a "recall letter" on it's way and that everyone is putting the freedom tops on wrong. Yes, I have taken mine off several times. I had been blaming it on the windshield or the freedom tops. Under 60, the JLU is much quieter than...

Hmm, interesting given the 4xe just launched. The most economical and the most wasteful (and most fun?) Jeep released the same year? Other than super-cruising I-5 or pulling a tourist out of a ditch, I can’t say I have ever needed “more power” from any of my Jeeps. If I weren’t such a #RWTH...

I agree, no and I am a JLU guy, not JL. I did trade my F150 and a Volt for a JKU then the JKU for the JLU. I did "borrow" a JT for a week. Sit in the back seat for 30 minutes. Great for a dog or luggage, but not much else. It will not replace your F150 unless you have an old lightning with...

Jeep claims same fjording capabilities. Admittedly I made my first trek into water over a foot deep just this past year in the "mild hybrid" which also has a water tight battery tub. The V6 JKU and previous jeeps never went over a foot deep. Normally if I was going that far into the back...
