I've a years-long habit of checking the fluids in our vehicles every Saturday morning. The oil levels and tire pressures in the motorcycles are checked before every ride.

In the Jeep, the central TFT screen always illustrates one of the Big 3: Coolant temp, Transmission temp or Oil Pressure. The other available displays, like current song selection or other such fluff, is exactly that. The vehicle's vitals are what matters, always.
I find it particularly annoying that it'll only show you a couple of useful things at a time. All that screen space and they could've added an 'advanced mode' screen that let you have a list of things.

The off-road pages has the option to show oil pressure, oil temp, tranny temp, water temp and voltage all at the same time

You two sound like an old married couple. Maybe the Jlwranglerforums.com can become the next Tinder.com. You never know.

You shouldn't let him push your buttons like that. He enjoys it when you react to his posts.

BTW, how is your Jeep running now?

Knock wood it's fine. The problem in the beginning was that I started reading all this negative stuff about the turbo, immediately had issues with coolant, battery and electronics, and really began tooverdosed. about EVERYTHING..I overposted. Thanks for asking.

I understand.

From what I can see, the turbo is just as good as the 3.6. The real issue is that Jeep's production quality varies from one unit to the next. If you get a good one, all is well. If you get a bad one, you need to get things fixed during the warranty period.

That's my take, too. It's buttressed not only by the conversational trends on this site, but also my ownership experience.

My 1995 YJ, purchased new, had a crap engine that simply couldn't be fixed.
My 2021 JLU, also purchased new, has been virtually perfect.

Given the complexity of the current Wrangler when compared to prior generations, the fact that my Jeep has been as good as it's been isn't lost on me.

I have noticed that many of the members who received well manufactured Jeeps have little sympathy for those who received badly manufactured Jeeps. They do not believe there is an issue.

This is unfortunate.

How did you resolve the issue with the YJ?
