2 Weeks and dead!
Hey guys, this is my first post.
I had bought my JKU back in September of 09 and only had it two weeks when I took it on a business trip from New Orleans to Charleston. About half way there, the oil pump crapped out on me and seized the engine up
. Stranded on the side of the interstate two weeks after buying a brand new Jeep is not where I thought I would be. It cost me over $1000 to rent a car and finish my business trip. It took Chrysler a few weeks to replace the engine and parts but fortunately I was out of the country on another business trip so I didn't need it immediately. However, it did take Chrysler several months to reimburse me for my expenses (rental car and cab ride). JKU runs like a champ now and now have become addicted to modding it and making it my own
. I guess I'll post some pics soon to the Surf Blue thread.
