Yes. Also, did you listen for the steering pump sound that I mentioned in my previous post?

Just noticed some papers left in my Jeep from the technician. The ecu was updated/flashed from 682 986 10AF to 68529416AA. The technician also left a diagram with 5 modules that require updating.

Has the TSB number changed to TSB 08 003 21 January 9, 2021?

I think its TSB 08 003 21 January 9, 2021. The only November I have is 2020 under the previous TSB number.

@Moderator Can we shut down the thread with the old TSB number and link to the thread with the new TSB number? This is getting confusing.

08-003-21 is the latest TSB which supersedes 08-074-20 Rev F.

Rev F was the last TSB numbered 08-074-20.

There is no thread with the new TSB ending in 021.

I am concerned with the partial work done in my Jeep. I go back to the dealership to have the software updated and a track bar added. Furthermore, get my $120 I paid for alignment back. I want to understand a bit more before tomorrow.

My parts for the, Nov. 2021 08-003-21 Rev. A, TSB arrived at the dealer and I took it in yesterday. Hoping (and hopping) to see it back to me today. It's been a long journey to a total remedy for the incredibly poor steering my 2018 JLUR had, and all on my nickel so far. This is more about Jeep being a partner sharing my expenses than a terrible steering box. Hopefully, this new box is better than my "adjusted" box.

How did it go with the dealer? If you have a 2020, it may have had the latest trackbar from the factory. Seems like the release on the trackbar was around that time. I guess it was a transition period.

The track bar was not needed. But the Pitman bolt was needed. My steering is off slightly. Steering wheel is about 1/2 a centimeter off center, but better than what it was. The steering is tighter, no more play to little play on the steering wheel from left to right. Could it be better, I think so. However I am picky so I have to settle with it being better than prior.

The short video below shows how you can center your steering wheel. As far as it could be better, check out the Exact Center reviews.

I'm going to put it on my maintenance list of things to do at least once a year, to check the tierod and draglink ends. I still have aluminum knuckles and those ends seem to get loose (recently). Maybe I'll check them at tire rotation.

3 years 3 months after buying my JLUR I finally got the fix from Jeep. I'm very happy. But my ass feels sore.
