PFA not our jeep.

Finally had an issue that would require immediate attention on the Jeep. The truck detected a chronic “low boost” situation , which in turn tripped a CEL and limp mode (no boost, limited throttle range). After checking to make sure the turbo is spinning freely and all charge piping is attached I found what I believe is a split in a hose from the intercooler to the TB. I limped it to the shop to work on it in a heated environment . Parts should be here today and hopefully she’s back on the road tonight.

For all the forum posts of issues I can’t believe how well this truck has done so far.

I think this will serve as an excuse to do some intercooler piping upgrades as well as a catch can. Poor thing is drinking oil god only knows how much is built up in the intercooler.

There really is no reason to not do a catch can.

This. I have a double catchcan system on the ST. Drained it for the first time when I installed my light setup. Was shocked to see how much was in there.

Dear Mrs. Uthe,

I coerced your husband to purchase this Jeep part that will pay for itself by reducing the amount of oil that is no longer being burnt and turning into carbon build up . It might also be one of the cheapest parts he could buy. One could easily be had for the price of spark plugs .

Love,
