I ended up trading in my 2012 Rubicon for a 2013 regular cab short bed Chevy Silverado Z71 5.3 6SPD. I really enjoyed owning the Rubicon and I will miss it, but having to go to the shop 3 times within 30,000 miles for serious problems was just too much. (pentastar tick, 6spd wouldn't go into 2nd, and rear locker wouldn't disengage with out turning the Jeep off, then again for the 6spd not going into 2nd) Anyways I've owned 4 cars before the JK and none of them had problems (except the 1st one had a leaky sunroof at about 80K miles), and I ran all of them past 100K miles, for some reason the JK's engine the Pentastar, just doesn't seem like an engine that will run 200K miles with no problems like the way a small block Chevy can. I'm really happy with the new pickup, the V8 is awesome and the truck feels solid, this forum was a great help for information on jeeps and how to modify them, a lot a great write ups and pictures. I wish Jeeps were made by Ford or Chevy instead of Chrysler maybe Chrysler will get their reliability up in the next few years.

Good choice on the truck and good luck! Chevy trucks last forever if you keep them maintained.

Best of luck with the new truck. Sounds like in was a one-off prob related to your jeep unfortunately. It happens.

Again, good luck.

I had the same problem with my rear locker today. I think it's always done that, I've just learned to deal with it I guess. Did the dealer have a fix for that or did they tell you, "well it's a jeep and those things happen".

x2 I totally agree with you here!!!
BUB-BYE!!!!
You should be posting on a truck forum!!! To me you come across as a quitter not someone who truly wanted to be a true jeep owner anyways.... You should have done your research better....
Sorry for all the hate..... Kinda in a bad mood... Hope the truck does it for you..... I think they're ugly tho.....Still in a bad mood .... Taking it out on you!!! Thanks for being there lol
I want my 2 minutes of life back now!!!
