Exclamation Fortune Creek Anyone?

Looking to go wheelin' up the Fortune Creek trail on Friday (10/14). Since I'm not a fan of going alone, anyone care to join me?

I have a stocker JKU with basic retreival gear (e-tool, strap and D-rings).

Drop me an email if your interested,

Wesley

I would go with ya but I don't have anytime for wheeling in the next two weeks. Fortune Creek is pretty uneventful but has some great views.

Unhappy Oh Well

Guess the Fates were against me. This morning my JKU suffered both throttle control and traction control malfunction lights, and went into limp-mode. After several cycle attempts, the only wheelin that happened was it going to the dealer.....

Sucks.....

Thumbs up Easy fix

I would have never suspected that a PCV valve stuck open would throw the Throttle Control and Stability Control malfunction lights and put it into limp mode...

Turns out that once the ECM gets a low vacuum signal, it throws the ETC light, which in-turn trips the SCM light.

4 hour trip to the dealer, no charge due to warranty.

I have to mention West Hills Jeep in Bremerton WA. They wiggled me into their already full shop figuring it would be an easy fix, even though I bought the JKU from another dealership.
