Hey all, Today I brought my 2018 JLUR 3.6L 6speed in for the recalls to be addressed. I also asked (and paid) for them to update all of the software in the jeep.
I picked it up later on and Wow! I had to relearn how to drive it. The throttle is now very sensitive. Off idle it now revs quickly at the slightest touch, so much that I slipped my clutch the first time from a stoplight. Also, when releasing the throttle, the rev hang is gone and the engine decelerates instantly, so much that I lurched forward the first couple of times.
It also looks like they fixed the below idle rpm drop that happens when clutching or shifting into neutral. This I am super happy about because it's been the cause of constant light knock every time that the rpm would drop below idle when coasting to a stop light.
In any case, I wish that my dealer didn't demand $100 to perform simple firmware updates... but I do believe that it was worth it. If anything, it will save me the cost of buying a throttle commander.
