Guys go to project jk and look at the tsb recall section. Scroll down and there will be a section for flashing the esp. Some dealers do not know about this so print that page off and take it to the dealers. That is what I had to do. The dealers probably will charge something yo do this. They also might have to order the program to do this. This is a problem so all the guys telling you to slow down don't know about the issue. Hope I helped
Thanks.

Only question I have about the TSB is that it states it is for 4x2 and for vehicles built before 11/08/06. I have been watching this thread as I never had an issue while living in WI and recently moved to PA - big hills and curves....happens to me now but without consistency (not same curve, same speed, etc.).

I have resolved the ESP issues!!!
Started with centering steering, reflashing the computer for tire size and adjusting trackbar to center axle with minor improvements, but still had issues with ESP.
Finally increased caster angle from around 3.5 to 6 using TF adjustable lower control arms and not only are the ESP issues gone, the handling is night and day better. The front end feels tight and now drives better than it did stock. Anyone on the fence about spending the extra money and adding the control arms to a mild 2 1/2 - 3" lift, I highly recommend it especially if you have any issues with loose steering or ESP on corners.

Phljeeper, got the OME with adj trackbar. When you fixed the caster angle, did you notice your handling increased? My OME lift has made my steering so sensitive that i feel the road with every bump. I am pretty sure that adh lower CA would take care of this but just want to see how much your improvements on the caster angle lead to a better ride.
