Default JK not working at night-transmission problem

Coming from a manual Subaru WRX the JK auto box caused me some major problems. It was fine during the day but would not run at night. Although not nearly as quick as the WRX in daytime mode it would still get up and go OK but in night mode the engine would just rev and the truck would not go anywhere. Ended up having to drive in Day mode at night, hopefully not causing any engine or transmission issues. What was even worse was when a Mitsubishi Evo pulled up next to me and I threw the transmission into Race mode I ended up hitting the car behind me!
Hopefully this has put a smile on your face nearly as big as when you drive your JK

That's like the pilot who wrote-up the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) for not working in OFF mode.

I always have problems with Night mode as well. Don't worry, Jeep won't void your warranty for driving in day mode
