Don't know if this means anything at this point but the instructions for my scan tool says in bold letters " do not connect or disconnect this OBD scanner with engine running or ignition on". FWIW.

Glad you passed smog.

About the shift cable... Thanks Black Rubi, information I need will and be looking. What is ROF and IIRC? If anyone has a link let me know.

ROF is the forum you're on: Rubicon Owners Forum
IIRC translates to: If I Remember Correctly

As for the link go to Google and type in: "Jeep auto transmission modification" and look for a link from Jeep Forum.

For a link at ROF go to their "search" box and type in the same terms.

I know that there's a post on Jeep Forum (and here on ROF, IIRC) concerning modding the auto trans cable connection at the trans. It's simple and cheap to do.

Keeping our fingers crossed for you.

What a hassle. Maybe it's time to re-power?

I'm sure that would open a whole new/different can of worms.

Yes, the OPDA topic has been well and truly beaten to death :dhorse: . I suggest we stay on track with the original issue.

Just attempting to share knowledge, John.

Two items: the "S" in the VIN denote a Rubicon, and second towed mileage doesn't register on the odometer (at least I know it doesn't with an auto).

 

[BLACK RUBI]

Glad to hear that you're making progress Bob.

To add to the above: Does a local TV station or newspaper have a consumer watchdog type person? If so threaten to go to them with your problem. How about a state consumers affairs board? How about parking your rig on the public street in front of the stealership with a big sign on it stating that the place is ripping people off? As I mentioned above try leaving comments on their Facebook page. Corporations etc. hate having bad publicity.

 

[BLACK RUBI]

Like you said "back to the dealer". I would think that it's now up to them to find and fix the problem.

 

[BLACK RUBI]

You might try the State Department of Consumer Protection or some such. Also complaining on social media sights like their page on Facebook can work wonders.

Wow, the PCM is spendy!

Aren't computers neat? In that respect I sure liked my '80 CJ better, but then you look at the increase in HP and torque from basically the same engine and it help justify the modern technology. I just hope that the PCM doesn't go belly up in the middle of nowhere!
