Two transfer case DTCs today...

[Matt]

Oh... and i need to clean my sunroof drains; water started leaking out the grab handle today on my way to work.

I'm having a great week!!!

I just need those P1128 & P1129 DTC codes to pop back up to really finish it of

That blows bro but I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

Im sure it will too.... just a lot going on right now and this adds a bit to the stress. I have my buddy checking stock, if they have it i may swing by the dealer and get the motor on my way home from work tomorrow (lol but watch that not be it and i need a new FCM)

Well i ended up dropping jeep off at dealer yesterday after work... figured i'd use my warrantee , pay $150 deduct and have my jeep back today.

Just picked it up and turns out they need to order the shift motor. So although it's covered, im not better off in terms of driving around now. I'm hoping i can swing by Monday after work to get it installed (i can't see it taking more than a day).

In hindsight, instead of ordering the Retech motor from RockAuto, I kind of wish I ordered the OE part (5143786AA). $330 shipped isn't bad:

I might see if I can convince them to change the tcase fluid under "warranty" as well. A bit of a stretch, but I now have it on record that i've had this issue with Friday and the t-case is locked up due to the shift motor, which is a warranty item. I know that clutch is getting a workout, so i don't think its too much to ask to have them drain the fluid, make note if there's clutch material present, and refill. If the fluid is dirty (which i changed 6k miles ago) then i'll be on record and help me with a tcase claim in the future.

Dealer called... picking my Jeep up at lunch. They said the fluids looked good and they checked the diffs too. I'm not sure how they "checked" the tcase without draining it.... unless they sucked some out but its tough to get a tube in there.

I'll ride it out... if there was damage I'm sure the 1406 code will come back "clutch performance"

Glad they got it all fixed up for you!

I read my receipt and im actually a bit agitated at something... I told the service manager that i feel the MDS engage/disengage on the highway with cruise control on and that i found TSB 18-006-10 which is a programming update that's supposed to resolve the issue; so if they could, update it while it was there. He asked me to describe it and i basically told him it feels like you run over a small piece of wood when the cylinders activate.. like hitting a bump.

Well, on my receipt he put down for the "issue" that "feels like driving on wood when on highway". The tech's diagnosis was "customer installed aftermarket suspension that's stiffer and wheels and tires that are loud and vibrate".

There's 2 reasons this really irks me...
#1) I didn't ask them to diagnose anything... i told them what the issue was and gave them the TSB number that resolves the problem.

#2) Do those idiots really think i brought my modified jeep there to complain about a "rough ride"?

I thought about calling the service manager up tomorrow but im just going to let it go. THIS is why, even though i have a warranty, i do all of the work myself.
