I see. IMO if the transmission's software is complicated enough that a fatal problem was discovered at the last minute before sale, it's time to go back to BASIC.

It works fine with the V6, but the 4cyl (Tigershark, I think) doesn't have the power to get up to ninth. I say program 9th out of the 4cyls.

The tigersharks are very underpowered. When I worked at the other dralership that had dodge/chrysler/ram as well as jeep i drove th darts. Things were slow as ****. My jeep on 33s, with stock gears was more powerful and faster.

Well, I'm pretty sure that my RMS is leaking alongside my oil filter adapter. That leak has been there a while, but the RMS didn't start until I massively overheated my engine.

Pressure washed more mud out from the undercarriage. Still have some that needs to come off. I think a drive through a river would be more effective.

i learned to hate mud mainly for that reason. Mud ruins parts and makes such a mess.

Cool! Is that what that O-Track stuff is? I've been considering doing the same with the E-Track stuff you find in commercial trucks.

It was worse before I started, I actually removed all the carpet and cleaned it.. Made for a lengthy install.

Yeah it's the same as the O-track, this one is by hi-lift and is called the "slide-n-lock" basically identical though. I was going to use E-track prior but install of this was much easier than the E-track would have been
