So, just got a 2016 Sport. Very basic, only wanted connectivity, that's all I bought. Has the lovely Wrangler ST tires. I drive on dirt roads, badly paved roads with lots of loose gravel (Evergreen, Colorado), and lots of snow. Not much off road, bought it mostly for the snow. Wrangler Duratracks? Seems like the best overall wet/dry/snow tire.

But Duratracs are supposed to be great in snow. Thanks. Big snow this weekend, so I'll have a chance to see how they do. The dealer so badly overinflated them, I haven't seen how they feel at proper pressure, so who knows. 43psi, jeez.

Ok, replaced my Wrangler STs and stock wheels with Black Bear Edition wheels and tires (Wrangler SilentArmor). Love the tires. Can't get the tire pressure system to read the sensors. First 5 miles, no problem. Then, disappeared, and now has a hash mark for all four tires, no reading. Any guidance on resetting the sensors monitor?

There are a couple of ways to do it, but none are free (unless your tire shop can, which is doubtful). An AEV Procal is probably the easiest, for $150. Yeah. Ok, we'll see what the dealer says in. a year or so when I do first maintenance. Thanks.

So, I have a 2016 Sport, with just over 3000 miles. Get a postcard from the dealer, "According to our records, your Wrangler may be due for the following service: 3000 mile Maintenance Service." So, I took a look. I can find no mention in the scheduled maintenance of such a service. Jeep's owner's website shows I have no maintenance scheduled or due before 10000 miles. I plan on first oil change and tire rotation at 5000 miles. My feeling is this is a money maker scam by the dealership, am I wrong?

Their position may be tenable, an attorney who specializes in this can tell you. A mechanic you trust may be able to give you a statement saying that's bullshit, which would also help.

Great. My 2016 Wrangled Unlimited with 18K miles just had the stick shift go completely loose. I can get it in all the gears, but it's crazy. And, apparently, a common issue on the 16. It looks like it's a loving plastic bushing. Taking it in tomorrow and hope they habe the part available since that seems to be a common issue too.

Wow. It's subject to a recall. And, the fix makes the throw of the stick much tighter.

hagie posted:New to the thread, and high potential Wrangler owner in the near future. I am about a full year out on making the final decision on this (just starting down payment savings after refinancing the house) but I am struggling hard with figuring out the trim specs on a 2018 Sport and Sport S Wrangler. I bought new in late 2015, and just told a local dealer i wanted Sport, unlimited, and the only option i wanted was the bluetooth package, and find the closest fit. One month later, thats exactly what i got.

Non-mechanical Wrangler issue. I have the base stereo, the 130. No screen, just lcd for radio station, etc... It now has three ways of working. 1. Turns on, connects to Bluetooth, satellite, no problem, but no sound. In this mode, the volume knob does nothing. Turning it doesn't even change the bars shown for volume. 2. Turns on, connects to Bluetooth, satellite, am/fm, but sound is 3 seconds on, .5 second off. For all inputs. Not a short, not speaker related as far as I can see. 3/.5 cycle, sitting still, driving, nothing changes the cycle. 3. Normal operation in every way. No way I've found to change between these three modes. Turning the car off for extended periods sometimes changes modes. I've tried the recommended soft reset of holding VR and phone button for 30 seconds, turning off opening door for 30 seconds, restarting. Does nothing. Suggestions short of cracking open the whole thing?

mod sassinator posted:Sounds like some kind of heat related issue, like maybe the audio amp is overheating and going into thermal shutdown. Perhaps something shorted out and is making a lot of heat nearby the amp components. Heat would make more sense if 1/3 of the time it wasn't perfect for long trips. But yeah, I think it's replacement time. Now to find a decent unit that fits.

Ok, gonna have to just bite the bullet. Recommendations for a new audio head unit to replace the 130 in my '16 Wrangler? I don't care if it has a disc player. I'd like to keep steering wheel controls, but bluetooth is really the only thing I care about. Android Auto would be nice.

mod sassinator posted:I've never seen an AT (or really any kind) tire that's good in ice. Studs, chains, etc. are what you want when it's really icy. The KO's are amazing in fresh snow though. Duratracs are above average on ice, good siping. Not going to match chains or studs, but I drive them year round at 8000+ elevation in Colorado.

IOwnCalculus posted:Are you wanting to record the interior, or out the rear view? If the latter it seems like you'd need a dashcam that can be mounted to the rear rollbar, which would be unusual since most are meant to just stick on glass in some manner. Wiring-wise it seems like you could easily tuck the wiring from the front cam to the rear (in that scenario) underneath the padding for the rollbar. Wiring from the front camera to the fuse box is pretty trivial, especially since you actually have some interior trim to hide the wire behind. There are lots of "backup cams" that go on the spare mount, around the brake light. Haven't seen many of the recording cams that way, but haven't really looked, either.

Digital_Jesus posted:Because the tech inflated them up to set the bead and never deflated them to the proper psi? Yeah, I thought that but the slip they give to put in the window listed the tire pressure as 45. Rolling off at 45 isn't a big deal, I get them cold at my altitude and deflate to 35, but every rotation Goodyear inflated to 45 and Costco's sticker seems to indicate they think 45 is the end state.

Ok, some problems cropping up. JKU, 82k, manual transmission. Three times in five miles at the end of a 25 mile trip, car rpms drop to zero. No stall, because it's a manual. First was on a left turn at 5 mph. Second was about a mile later straightaway, 40mph. Third, uphill, 20 mph, about 2 miles later. No engine light, no error codes on the OBD. Thought crankshaft sensor: hammer tap to sensor does not replicate the error. Camshaft sensor, same. Sitting idle for 15 minutes, doesn't replicate. Anyone?

Cat Hatter posted:Do you mean the gauge indicates 0rpm but you're still coasting in gear so the engine is still physically spinning? Is it engine braking during these episodes or driving along normally? Does it go back to normal on it's own or do you need to turn the key off and on again? Does it have a physical key or a pushbutton? Engine shows zero rpm and engine braking occurs. Goes back to normal, and no interruption in Android auto like would occur if engine shut down. No restart needed. Whole thing is a second in duration, the only thing you'd note if you didn't see the tach is that you get that moment of engine brake.

kastein posted:Sounds like it may be a momentary loss of electrical power to the ECU for some reason. If you have a way to view live data stream, do so and see if the data stream drops out simultaneously. If it does start looking at anything that can cut power to the ECU - harness damage, TIPM, bad battery connections, any relays and fuses that still exist, loose connectors etc. Thanks. I'll start nosing around the electrical tomorrow.
