Hi Everyone,

Jeep has finally taken my complaints and called me back about my overheating issue. After being referred to two different case managers, I was contacted by 'Marv', a 'mechanical engineer for the Jeep Driveline Division'. After discussing with him that I overheat while in 4lo WITHOUT using the Jeep, without hammering on the pedal, I was told that they couldn't do anything to help me because of the recent recall they had. (J24? the trans cooler light/alarm) Meaning, he would like to help, but because of the recall, the federal will prevent them from installing an auxillary trans-cooler because the Jeep would become unsafe. And they don't want a future lawsuit. I suggested that an aftermarket trans-cooler would indeed keep the transmission from overheating and keep me safe anyways. He said that Jeep, no, Chrysler would not install an aftermarket trans-cooler because they cannot verify the manufacturer's information on performance. So I suggested that he install the upgraded Mopar trans-cooler that is available to the European and Middle-Eastern markets. He says that he can't find any cooler available.
So my question is this: does anyone know what market and/or a part number for the 'aftermarket' MOPAR trans-cooler they are having installed overseas? I would like that info to give to 'Marv' to see what his response is.

Any help is appreciated, and I will keep you up to date.

Thanks all.
