He's past it time-wise at 5 years. Assuming its original.

I think he said only 22k miles. Check online for Chrysler coupons. I got a $79 coupon flush and coolant (hoat) on my 08. The ball joints were replaced and covered on the Chrysler extended warranty that I bought when I purchased the JK. They are not covered on the regular drive train warranty. Also, the dealer asked me if I wanted the NEW UPGRADED steering stabilizer for $350. It had just been replaced a few months earlier as their other location fought a stubborn case of death wobble. They said the computers weren't talking??? I think there is a newer updated steering stabilizer...but $350??? They took out my new HD Rancho and put the sissy OEM in because they had to for the DW service per Jeep service. All must be OEM. Oh well.

Good point. That's actually what the 60K mile change in the owners manual is for (at least in my 2007 manual). It doesn't explicitly say what to do if you have less than that at the five mile mark. Maybe later years clarified that?
