My avatar is actually my old JK. But on my JL I’m running 35s. I don’t like the Tazer because of SGW issue. I also didn’t want the hassle of unmarry/remarry a Tazer every time I take my jeep into a dealer. I use an AEV procal because all I needed was to change tire and psi settings. The Smart Stopstart fixed something I find annoying, ESS.
SGW?

Not a diesel here but I've had the Smart StopStart on mine since July 2019 without issues.

Why not train yourself to hit the ESS button, give yourself $1 every time your hand pushes the button as it moves from "Start" to gearshift / handbrake, it is literally RIGHT THERE.
Pretty soon, after $5 worth, muscle memory, and you have all that cash for a really useful gift for the Jeep...

I saw a video on YouTube where you can disconnect the second (backup) hood open sensor and that killed the auto start/stop without effecting the other systems like remote start. I’m going to try this weekend.

@JL Diesel

You'll learn... not to believe all the crapola you see in YouTube videos in regard to the JL/JT.

Within a month of purchasing my JL I installed the Smart StopStart module and have had no issues with it over the past year. I'm very glad I made the purchase.

There are a few options for to disable ESS ranging from pulling a hood switch (remote start won’t work) to using a Tazer or similar to disable it. I have been using the Smart Stop/Start from Steve and it’s been in almost 3 years and has never failed and for the rest of my needs I use JSCAN.

... honestly I don’t see why it’s not designed like some of the other cars I own where its a simple push button that stays on all the time unless you push it again to turn it off ?‍♂ ...
I had this same question, and I was talking to someone who made a good point (accuracy unknown). If the ESS feature does not automatically enable each and every time, they cannot use it for their emissions controls to meet the ridiculous eco-freak requirements for cars.

Yep. After learning that the non-ratcheting ESS switch was compelled by emissions regulation compliance, I couldn't click Buy Now fast enough for the Auto Start/Stop Eliminator.

If the EPA fires a shot across the bow, we fire back.

Got in touch with Steve
Ordered one, thank you!
@Antonio

Was talking SmartStopStart (TERRIFIC OFFERING) with a JL owner yesterday, when I remembered your forum posts and that you, after forum research, wisely opted to go with the SmartStopStart offering.

SO, did you get it installed and what do you think?

I figure like other's that have a SSS, you will say the SmartStopStart unit performs flawlessly and you truly enjoy having it...

@SmartStopStart.com ... Thanks for a terrific offering and also thanks for being a long time Forum Sponsor!

Yes, Steve ship it out promptly and had it installed in like 5 minutes! It’s an awesome gadget I now don’t have to worry about remembering to turn off the start stop feature everytime I get in the jeep to go anywhere, working great! It comes with everything you need to install it and keep it in place. So far so good! ? thanks
