The above sticker is obviously a automatic transmission. The Manual Transmission is from Germany.

 

Here's mine (manual transmission), made 03/10. Appears slightly different

 

That's truly unfortunate. You could go to the pharmacy or a doctor for some assistance in that department.
There seems to be some evidence to suggest that the majority of the engine is manufactured in the good old US of A. Even if the pistons were manufactured in Mexico, final assembly is conducted in the US which means someone handled those pistons prior to installing them in the block...so wouldn't the problem then lay in the hands of the final assemblers sitting on the US line?

 

I found several Corona bottle caps used as washers in my engine bay...

Really, take this to another forum. This is not the place for it. This is for Jeep knowledge and enjoyment. Thanks for understanding.

 

unions biult america and the jeep you drive

 

Not sure if my 2dr 2007 was made in mexico or not but see my post. I'm told by the dealer that I need a whole new engine at about 6 grand

 

In that case, it was definitely from the US. Mexicans don't drink Corona.

 

Unions built America? Only because there were no mexicans to work for cheap. People like Carnegie had to appease the unions or they would get violent. Go research your history. Apparently it's been a while or you have been caught up in Obama bin laden's agenda.
