Sure doesn't look made up. I would wait out the dealership as well. It's either the dealer or the manufacturer that is to blame here.

I think that a@@hole should give you a brand new rubi and think about if it was him in the driver seat or his wife and children. Then he would feel your pain. Let us know what happens!

Has the dealership talked to you any at all since they said they wanted you to buy a new one from them?

Idk where to find these lines though ?

I guess I wasted my time posting a picture of the location of the crimp fittings, then.

I haven't spoken with them since the day they blocked my TV interview from being aired. He told me to return their loaner and do whatever I felt I had to do. The next day, I started this thread.
BTW that was buy a new Jeep from them at invoice.

The manual transmission has no cooler/lines.
