Tip of the day

The 68C recall has made some operational changes that we all need to be aware of. Since Jeep does not disclose what changes they make with each update, we have to speculate based on observed operational changes. One running theory currently is that Jeep has lowered the max temperature threshold on the electric side to compensate for the bad battery design that is the root of the issue. This is resulting in a lot of people seeing “surprise” engine starts when on the highway.

Here’s the real kick in the pants. When the engine surprise starts like that, it also loading the engine at highway speed without first warming up the engine. Normally, when we hit the <1 % point while on the highway, the engine starts, the clutch between the engine and the transmission stays open and allows the engine to warm up and lubricate itself before loading it. When an engine is started and loaded at highway speed, it will experience quite a few revolutions before oil has been distributed well. That results in un-lubricated metal on metal contact.

If you do that every day, the engine is going to start damaging itself. If we don’t manage that better, a lot of people are going to start seeing premature engine wear. Starting and loading an engine at highway speeds is going to cause issues down the road. Jeep has created a real issue here. They’ve tried to compensate for a bad battery issue and have created a potential for long term engine damage in exchange.

If your daily case use causes a pretty predictable surprise start at certain points every day, it will be in your best interest to manage it by using eSave ahead of time. ESave allows for that timed start cycle that allows the engine to warm up correctly.
