guess i will just drive my new JK locally until the starter burns up, then have it towed to the dealer for repair again...

gonna drive it over the weekend, i may be taking it back in monday morning.
That is bull! Make them get you a new starter -- it ain't right. Take it back and tell them it's acting up and you won't be satisfied until it's replaced. You've been through enough!

troy-boy i would be watching for an alternator failure... is yours an 08? maybe take it to advance or somthin and have them test to see what the alternator is doing... the service manager said that mine started overcharging, then melted down.

the 08 JK is going back to the dealer this afternoon. i am still getting the "melted plastic" smell of HOT wiring when i start it, which is more than likely the starter going south in a hurry beacuse it is still dragging like hell every time i start it....BS BS BS

and the F'IN saga continues....
