Apparently, there is a recall for all manuals. Seems the fix (for now) is to neuter your torque if things get too warm.

Sequential manual gearboxes are this way too... it's the right way.
Could you imagine being mashed back in your seat and having to pull yourself forward in order to upshift? You'd end up giving yourself massive whiplash on every shift. Haha!

You know, I would take a 3.6 again with a manual. I’m not impressed with the auto

I haven’t driven a 3.6 manual, but I was not a big fan of the 3.8/manual combo in the JKUR that a friend of mine has. Too much work around town as a DD with no payoff.
But, honestly, I’ve never been much of a fan of manual transmissions in anything other than sports cars.

I miss driving a stick too but what don't you like about the auto? I really like it in my JL but I do have 4.10 gears

It’s more than likely just the slow ass 3.6. I’m just not to impressed with it. I don’t really like crawling, I like desert driving and slamming gears and controlling speed with the stick.
It’s what I like about a jeep, it’s also why I like riding my Harley.

The 3.6 isn’t crazy fast with the stick, the auto is certainly quicker. I just prefer shifting.

It’s definitely the slow ass 3.6 lol. They all need 6.4 Hemis

Yes that makes total sense, I definitely enjoy letting it rip. I guess I'm happy for what it is, probably a 95% chance I'll trade for a 392 though at some point, or may do a conversion, as long as I know it won't end in divorce lol

I won’t lie, I’m thinking about the 392. But I’ll wait until someone loses their ass and buy it used.

If they put it in the gladiator I’ll either pick one up used down the road, or go for the swap with what I have. Either way, going V8 is at least six years out for me.

Me too. There’ll be some junkyard 392s in a year or 2. Besides the factory harnesses will be out there as replacement parts instead of using “builder” parts.

Rather that start a new thread, I decided to just post here. For those of you who want to blast your gangsta beats like it's the 90s again, Alpine has a new subwoofer system that installs under the passenger seat of the JLs and JTs.
Very cool! If we didn't already have the premium sound system, I would definitely be giving this a look.

That’s pretty cool! Though I wish they made them applicable to the already-installed premium system. Having a little extra amp power would be nice, along with more control ability for highs, mids, lows, and sub(s) independently.

Agreed.
