My guess is the amount of oil is because the engine came out of a jeep that was a "rollover" . The shop just called to ask if the rad was changed when the engine was swapped and if not was I having the issue prior to swap? They will call back as they still had not done a diag on the xj. Good thing I left it or I would have been one red hot sister because my appt was at 10am. Do you know how mad you need to be to make a woman of my complexion red hot?

Breaking Bad really likes the good jeeps. there was a Comanche just like tim's in it. though it didn't have primer all over it, and it had a rear bumper

I blame JK owners. I've never heard anyone with an XJ/MJ/TJ/LJ complain about DW except to say that it's an inconvenience that they need to fix. And if those JK lovers are so worried, they can just convert to four wheel leaf spring suspension and shut up. This doesn't apply to all JK owners, of course. Y'all know what I mean.
That's what I mean. I'd say at least 90% of JKs sold have never touched a dirt road, but many are lifted or lowered, with aftermarket accessories. And I'd say most of those people don't understand how the suspension works, and they're just paying a shop to do the work. I can't blame DW for an accident, though. I went through it well over two dozen times with the XJ, and it never caused me to lose control of the vehicle. It's just a nuisance.
I think it's pretty clear it's not Jeep's fault. their stock vehicles do not have DW. it's only when people modify the jeeps. as for what tim said about JK owners. A lot of people have gotten the 4 door ones, and probably get the cheapo lifts not doing much research on them. they just don't know what they're getting into. Most people who lift XJs lift them for offroading.
Believe it or not, a lot people who lift their JKs lift them for offroading and not just mallcrawling.

Steve did you check the gaps on the plugs before you installed them?
