Yep, they are lying. But for $300 +, they sure do souond cool.

Obviously we do not share the same philosophy and I think you're missing my point. I am a gear head. I like to fix things and when someone joins a forum and asks "What could this be?" and "Will it be costly?", my first reaction is to ask for more information so I can better understand the issue, rather than just tell them to take it to the dealer. But to each his own I guess. The OP is asking US those questions, not the dealer. The details I am asking about are helpful to me to possibly diagnose the problem, to avoid the inconvenienmce of a dealer visit if it's something simple. I am not trying assertain a cost estimate. I completely agree that whatever it is will be covered 100% by the bumper to bumper warranty. But, we all know the dreaded "Unable to duplicate the problem" answer to many issues when you bring your car to the dealer. I'm just trying to be as helpful as possible by answering the questions the OP asked. To the OP, Will it be costly? no, it will not cost you anything to but your time to take it to the dealer for this issue. What could it be? Without more detail it's not possible to say at this point.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase!

I did not suggest anywhere in my response that there would be a charge for anything. The original poster asked "and will it be costly". Without more detail no one has any idea speculating any cost associated with a repair, if it is necessary and not covered by warranty. So I answered the question with "I have no idea if it would be costly". Thats it. Read the entire first post.

Its unfortunate GM gave diesels such a bad name in the late 70's early 80's with their gasoline converted to diesel engines in the Oldsmobile.This GM diesel debacle is what has soured so many Americans on diesel powerplants to this day. Slow, noisy, and smoky is the perception that lingers with most of the public- which is sad.

Sounds def like a lemon. Good luck with the Jeep! At least you didn't give up on Chrysler, err Fiat!

Go to the website and research it.

Not here in the US. They don't offer the diesel here.

It all depends on your driving habits.

Honesty that depends on the height of your trailer tongue as to how high your ball needs to be.....

What is an "AGR" valve?

Welcome to the forum. First off, try to isolate where the sound is coming from. Engine? Under the dash? Under the seats? Where is the vent position set? Dash vents, floor, defrost? Is it dependant on blower setting? Does it make the sound moving? Sitting still? All the time? It's kinda hard to tell you if it will be costly without a little more detail.

Whats "special" about it? Was there some obscure RPO code where you could order one with a hemi????

Shocks should not be leaking with that many miles and should be covered by warranty. The 3 year, 36000 miles is bumper to bumper. I would argue this point with the dealer who is trying to say they are not covered. Unless you are like taking it off road and doing jumps and stuff.....

We just be tryin to edumucate some folks.

It should be able to handle moderate mud and ruts with the right tires and driver technique, just know it's not a Ram and it's not a 4wd vehicle that is designed to go "off roading". Realize the vehicles capabilities before you get into a situation you or the vehicle is not prepared for.

^^ Yeah that. There should be all the necessary contact info you need in your owners manual. They usually prefer you address warranty issues with your local dealer though.

^^ Yep, front pistons just push in, unlike the backs which need to be turned and pushed at the same time. Unbolt the calipers, remove the rotor, compress the piston, (remove the brake reservoir cap and check the level while compressing the piston as it could overflow), re-install. Dont forget to lube the caliper slides.

What are you attempting to connect to the USB? I know in mine, it does not like my Iphone so I just used the aux. input.

Why dont you go ahead and remove it,. drive through a tankful of gas and see if it improves your mileage? I think it has been stated before, if the engineers who designed the car thought it would provide any benefit by not having it there, it would not be there. More air to the engine wont do anything for you without more fuel. The stoichiometric mixture for a gasoline engine is the ideal ratio (15:1) of air to fuel to allow all fuel to be burned with no excess air. The computer maintains the 15:1 ratio all the time regardless of how much or little air enters the intake manifold. That little felt piece does nothing to alter this.

Winter blend gas causes lower MPG's. Our 2013 SXT, FWD also had right at 13k mile3s. I am quite pleased as we are averaging 18-19 around town. As fas as the heater goes, guess it depends on what your definition of "to take awhile" is and how cold it is outside.

Very nice!

I'm curious why you are obsessed with it?

Here ya go. Any will work. http://www.amazon.com/U480-CAN-BUS-OBDII-Diagnostic-Scanner/dp/B0035RZ280

Did you have to drop the mufflers to install that one?
