Rats, sounds like Jimmy (Sureshot from B'ham) had some really bad luck up at Windrock this past weekend and his JK is at some Stealership where a bunch of idiots have fried his ECU.
Ticks me off when I hear about Chrysler dealers that can't seem to hire or attract decent mechanics, and instead let 10 thumb troglodytes jump up and down on someone's nice rig.

By the way, any news on an upcoming trail ride??

Haha actually they didnt gyp me bad at all. It only ended up costing me $300 (200 parts and 100 labor). It did take them almost 3 days to get it fixed but that was cause of waiting on parts. I made it almost to bham when I heard a pop going down highway. turns out my transmission is blown now and is waiting to be looked at at another dealership here in bham. I already had it blown and repaired about 6 months ago so they should cover the work. If not, to hell with chrysler. Its amazing the terrible luck ive had with my jeep in the past 6 months...
No rest for the weary huh? That's the spirit.
No details yet. The more I think about it, I don't believe it's a good idea for any of us to be crawling our rigs with temps near the 100 degree range. Engines should be okay, but transmissions may be a different matter. I'm going to play this by ear - if we get some heat relief, may throw an impromptu ride together quick (say within a matter of two or three days).

Wow - glad to hear you're back home. Can't believe all the hassle you've just gone through Jimmy.

Haha yea im just a little ticked I didnt get to drive up at windrock. Im still itching to get out on a trail and actually get to drive this time! As soon as my rig is up and running, ill be ready for a run.
And knowing my transmission, maybe I need a tranny cooler??

Is your transmission being repaired under warranty? I'm no expert, but I think if this keeps happening, might be time to start looking into the stipulations required to qualify for Chrysler buy-back of the vehicle under the "Lemon Law" statutes.

Oil pan pix
Here is a pic of what I found in my Oil Pan:
Those little specks are pieces of metal...............
Couple of more pix here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...48#post1795748
Pretty much what I expected to see. Going to take off the main caps next, to see how bad everything looks.

Well that kinda explains why I never saw pics of your JK out on the trails Jimmy. When did your APP sensor (accelerator pedal), and crankshaft sensor conk out (I think I read the dealership killed your ECU)?

And yes the ECU was fried when the dealership had it.And they said that it will be replaced under warranty. I just hope they don't try to say it was something they didn't mess with the first time. And I don't think the Lemon Laws will apply to this quite yet. It has to consistently be the same problem I think.
