Just got the diagnosis for my JKU trans (545 auto). $8900 for a stage 2 build. The internals are wiped, clutch pack fried/burned.

I took it for a short drive (trans is still jacked). Initially the ride height was level, it’s about an inch high after everything settled. Once I get it back from the trans shop, I’ll adjust it and get the new brake lines installed. I have to give Rebel a plug, the tech service is great. They...

Could it be a washer fluid plug for rear wiper, used when a soft top is installed?? Grabbing for straws.

Coilover project is pretty much done. Just need to recheck that everything is tight. After that I will put the tires back on and roll it out to check ride height. I still need to change the brake lines but I will wait until I get it back from trans shop. Had an issue last friday, went to do a...

Started my coil over project.

When it worked for five minutes, what was different? Was this after you changed the pump and checked connections at the tank, or was it after you checked fuses? Wee there any popped fuses?

My 07 JKU does similar. The hazards work fine. The hyperflash on both right and left goes away after 4-5 seconds. I do have leds all around though. Have not figured a solution yet. I would put in resistors if it stayed in hyperflash but since it goes to regular after a bit, I’m not sure the...

Pretty sure there is not a flasher.

I just had a motorad (motorad box with a murray thermostat inside) fail stuck shut after about a month. Switched to a mishimoto and problem solved.

Hey John, what was/is the scoop on your TJ? If you already explained, forgive me, I am not all there in the head.

How does it work? Does it have electric power? My Hemi rattles a bit on cold start.

The jScan did fix the locker light, it showed "enabled", I switched it to "disabled" and it has not come back on, in fact the switch is dead now. No activation at all. The "hyperflash" issue is only available on 2011 and up models. Go figure.

Not really part of the tipm, but it did reset the ecm to default tire size, at least I think that is what happened. It was the only thing I changed when that happened. I had fine tuned the tire size ratio before the swap to get the speedo dead on, then the swap, it was back to default...

In retrospect, when I swapped my TIPM, I did loose some settings, like the tire ratio/size to mph setting. I likely lost the "no lockers" setting too. Does this make any sense? Why did it take 4 months for it to rear it's head? Loving my JK!
