Just a week ago our 16' JKUR began having an issue. While attempting to pass a vehicle at WOT it would not shift and instead held 5500 rpm until I let off the throttle. Also it felt as if it were slipping or cutting power. It would not gain speed as soon as it hit this rpm no matter the gear we were in or if we moved it to manual shift mode.
She is on 37's and has been for over a year without issue. Only 28k miles on the automatic and is daily driven by my wife.
We took it into the dealer whom told us it was the tires that were the problem but if that were the case they would have caused the issue to begin a year ago. I obviously objected to this statement and explained how many thousands of Jeeps run a 37 without issue and clearly there was a problem. They said they cannot fix the Jeep if there was no DTC's showing. He Mechanic agreed there was an issue but couldn't confirm what it was. They agreed to keep looking into it.
Today we received a call stating they put factory tires on it and it no longer has the problem. I didn't believe them and I am making them reproduce this tomorrow for us.
Does anyone have any insight to this problem? We have had numerous Jeeps in the past and we build our rigs with quality parts.
Currently it sits on a factory drivetrain/powertrain still as we didn't want to void the warranty.
It had an Evo bolt on coilover kit which we love. 17" Kmc Machetes, and 37" stt pro's.
Any help would be great. Thx so much.
Cheers!
