07-08 Wrangler rear axle noise

Hi Greg:
I had a '98 Grand with the 5.9 engine and limited slips that did the same
thing my new Wrangler's doing. But it didn't have any of the other symptoms
your '06 has. My '98 was one helluva...

07-08 Wrangler rear axle noise

I wasn't even aware that they had traction control lights. Guess I'd better
get out the owner's manual. Next time it happens, I'll be on the lookout to
see if it lights up. (Mine's also a 6-speed,...

07-08 Wrangler rear axle noise

Mine's an '08 so it has the Dana 44 diff and I'm thinking that's where the
noise is coming from (it's not limited slip). When I'm stopped at a stop
light with the front wheels turned slightly to...

My '08 X weighs 310 pounds more than the '03 Sport I traded in.

V-6 in '08 Wrangler???

I'm not the least bit "worried" about it - just curious. I've owned six
Wranglers, starting with a CJ5. And I liked all of 'em. The one I traded in
on the new one was an '03 Sport. And it was a...

Maybe you should check out the gear ratios in the 6-speed transmission and
then take one for a test drive - preferably one with the optional 3.73
axles. If you're open minded - as opposed to empty...

V-6 in '08 Wrangler???

A friend tells me that the engine in my new Wrangler is made by Mitsubushi.
Is he correct? All I've heard is that it's a "good" engine and that it's
used in most Chrysler-made vans and has been...

08 Wrangler Changes?

How is "reving the engine so high" going to have any bad effects on the rear
axle if the torque at that RPM is about the same?

What you say was true for the 2007 - but NOT the 2008. I just checked the

I don't know how accurate this is but my dealer says all Wranglers now have
the Dana 44 rear axle - but not in the front.

Thanx for the reply. (That does seem like a lot of boat to be pulling with a

well loaded. (I don't like the painted fender...

Pretty much describes the way I feel about the Charger SRT8 I bought a week

How does he like it? - except for the gas mileage, of course.

You've GOT to be kidding. How in the world could the dealer use ANY kind of
a "thingy" to adjust the equalization curve of the audio output of the
radio????

And just how are you supposed to set the "cabin equalization curve" with the
crappy Jeep tone controls? I've got one of those systems and to say that "it
totally sucks" is paying it a compliment....
