From what I've read on this forum, it is not surprising that beefing up one Jeep component would expose a weakness in another.

But, I'm curious: Has the transmission ever overheated that you know of? I don't think the '08 has a "Hot Oil" warning light, but sometimes an overheated autobox will boil out the dipstick tube letting you know its too hot.

are the RIPP guys the original owners?

to touch on this and your other post, lets clear things up.

When you bought the JK from RIPP they told you to NOT have OD on in the city or did they tell you this after your transmission blew?

dude, if it was their 'show jeep' or 'demo jeep' that means they drove the crap out of it, burn outs and hammering it from a dead stop... I'm not surprised!

Spend the money and get a good aftermarket tranny, then use it like normal.
