Well - two thumbs up for WranglerFix!

 

[johncanfield]

There’s a guy in Florida that started a business called Wranglerfix. He builds PCMs for 05 and 06 TJ’s.

He's actually manufacturing new PCMs?

 

[johncanfield]

Did you look up those codes?

 

[johncanfield]

Welcome to ROF!

 

[johncanfield]

I wonder if the "tone wheel" is simply a magnet and the sensor is a Hall Effect device. I have an old (and good) sensor somewhere - I need to take a look-see.

 

[johncanfield]

Wow! Maybe too much slop in the bearings or gears? Hopefully this is really, really the fix.

 

[johncanfield]

So the engine runs fine until it's under a good load?

Idea #1 - I would get a scan tool that can record in real time all of the PIDs and start recording when you start up that grade.

Idea #2 - install your original OPDA

Idea #3 - check for plugged cats like Frank suggested

Idea #4 - (my personal favorite) - repower

 

[johncanfield]

You have all this time and money invested. If it was mine I would have the dealer set it just to make sure it is dead on.

Roger that! I watched our Jeep dealer set mine, the adjustment is very, very sensitive. Just tightening the bolt might alter the degree reading a little.

...I will gently bring her home and change out the oil pump. Fingers are crossed that the Rubicon will now be the tough dependable beast she is suppose to be.

I wouldn't change out anything to disturb the environment. See if the dealer's fix is really a fix first.

 

[johncanfield]

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

 

[johncanfield]

Just attempting to share knowledge, John.

No worries mate .

 

[johncanfield]

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

 

[johncanfield]

Sounds like you are making progress - keep us updated.

 

[johncanfield]

File a BBB complaint and you can take them to small claims court. Hopefully you got the promises and commitments in writing...

 

[johncanfield]

No elk and a new code, you have all the luck .

 

[johncanfield]

..Anyway reporting to Rubicon Owners Forum helps me calm down and collect my thoughts. Thanks fellows for being here.

We feel your pain! I'm sure we've all experienced a similar frustration in some form or another.

 

[johncanfield]

Also file a complaint with the BBB - even if they aren't a member BBB will still record your issue with the business. If you go on social media, a couple of tips for you since some businesses have been known to file a suit for slander, etc. for on-line disparaging reports. Stick strictly to the facts of the situation and don't 'color' your report with assumptions and disparaging remarks and other comments about the business.

There can be no slander if you state the truth. In an extreme case, a business might still attempt to intimidate a reviewer by filing a suit anyway but there is zero chance of them prevailing because you stated the facts of the situation. Just a head's up for you. (Too bad the business won't do the right thing.)

The TCM is integral to the PCM for the '05-'06. Previously the TCM was a separate module.

 

[johncanfield]

I think new ones are ~$900.

 

[johncanfield]

That's what I was expecting, but at least they confirmed the PCM is bad. Their prices are very competitive based on my research for PCMs and programming.

Thanks for the follow-up report.
