Sorry but this is why I have a manual . Mopar auto trannys are crap. Being a tech I see more mopar and ford trannys that just dont hold up. I had an 01 ram 2500 deisel that had the tranny go in less than 100k miles and I never towed anything more than I can tow with my jeep.

That used to be sound reasoning, but it seems the JK manuals have their issues, too.

If it is an 07 you should have lifetime on lower tranny, I would put it back to stock and take it in should be covered.

Only if he is the original owner, and bought it on or after July 26, 2007.
