It is for 07-09 built before march 09. It is just a TSB only though not recall. Do a search for TSB 23-010-09 Rev A. If you have wind noise, see if your top sits more like my picture before the kit replacement above. It's significant change in seating position of the header plate.

What is the TSB for cam sensor. I have noticed long crank times but it's not always there. Some dats it starts right up, while others are significant delayed starting (5 sec or more)

Sounds exactly like mine Steve. See this TSB ---> http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-tsb-re...-camshaft-gear

Thought it was just a "Jeep thing" until Dennis brought the aberrant behavior to my attention one day when he was riding with me. Sure enough, I've watched Dennis start his engine, and he barely turns the ignition switch and then immediately releases it - his JK starts right up every time.

Hey Denny.. I assume you have had the speedo adjusted for tires/gears/mods right? What gears are you running? Mine are the stock 3.23's or whatever. With the manual I can't hardly run in 6th gear because there's just not enough torque below about 65 to pull it and I think I'm running about the same RPM's as you but smaller tires most likely... Still stock Rubicon tires. Want to go to 4.10's but not until I upgrade to 33's or 35's. Bumpers/winch/more lift probably first. Ha.

No worries....they were just taking up space in my garage.
Hope you enjoy.

Hey... I have the same problem. I actually thought someone got under my hood to try and break into the Jeep. I pulled over and checked everything out and it was all good. I have noticed it 2 times since then. This is something that has not happened until a few months ago. WTF is going on?

Just to let you know, I had went to the Dealership with this problem earlier in the Jeep's life. The service man asked me how much time it was losing in a given period of time. At the time, it was not enough for a warranty claim. The man said to wait a few mths and it should get worse and then I can claim it. I plan to take it in next week, so I will let you know then. If someone takes theirs in before then, post what they said.
