Ok,

When you post in this thread it must be related to a high level area as described below or in the misc section and then describe in detail and/or relate to a known Technical Service Bulliten (TSB). Copy the entinre section and add your comments to the sections.

BODY EXTERIOR -

INTERIOR -
- Cloth seats stain very easy. TSB on this for the dealer to wash for you once.

ENGINE -
3.0 CRD -
- Swirl motor for the Turbo may make a clattering noise as this is the vaccum pump on the blink. Also delivers very poor performance.
- Injectors need to be reprogramed when they arre replaced or they will not talk to the computer.
3.7 -
4.7 -
5.7 -
- Is a known HEMI shudder but not sure if this affects the export model.
6.1 -

TRANSMISSION - QuadraTrac (QT) or QuadraDrive (QD)
- Service 4WD System light will illuminate and chime regularly. TSB to re flash and tighten connectors

TRANSFER CASE -

SUSPENSION -
- Rear spring mount isolators creak/squeak, TSB fix for replacement isolators

STEERING -

ELECTRICS and ELECTRONICS -
- PCM eaten by battery acid. This is of note and has happened to me as an isolated case. The battery was either overcharging or leaked during servicing and hence the PCM is directly under the battery and it ate the aluminium cover and the PCB within. This caused no end of fault codes as well. Also the wiring harness on the left hand side facing forward of the vehicle had to be replaced due to the acid ingress.
- Window regulators on the front neede replacing


WHEELS and BRAKES -
- Brake Rotors need machining front
- Minor shudder when braking uphill

ACCESSORIES -
- If you fit the factory nudge bar you cant fit the factory rated recovery points at the same time.

MISC -


Lets start populating this.
