JK freedom, mines a 2009 rubicon unlimited w/tow pkg. I think I may be pushing it too much in the deeper sand, thank's for the Ifo, you scared me with that recall, hopefully they fixed the prob.

I never wheeled in the sand, but I know that this is a real problem. You should install a tranny cooler

No, the problem still exists....all they did was install a chime to let you know about the overheating. They did absolutely nothing to address the problem. NOTHING.
