He has a shop at his house, so I guess I've found my new place to work on the Jeep if needed. I hit up the forums here as well as spoke to a coworker who just happens to also have a WK2 (still under warranty). The dealer told me it was a one-time offer and that I'd be back and they couldn't guarantee the same offer would be available. The truck was still driveable although I would be careful with it. Instead, now knowing my WK2 was fully out of warranty, I decided a second opinion and some research was necessary. How could a dealer offer me $2,600 in parts/service if I was willing to pay the regular price of $1,600 for engine mounts/fluid flush? They would have been better off telling me they'd cut the $2,600 down to $1,600 and call it a day. When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. They told me if I was willing to replace 2 Engine Mounts and do a differential fluid flush on both front and rear they would waive the cost to replace the other parts. When I told them it was still too expensive and I would need a second opinion, they came back with a proposal and this is where it got really fishy. When I asked them if they would contact FCM about the Powertrain Warranty because that seemed a bit excessive as it was only 2 months beyond the 5 year mark and well below the 100k mark, they told me that there was no way FCM would cover it and even tried to state that the warranty wouldn't have covered it which was a lie. This didn't sound right, but lets play along. When I asked what had happened, they told me that the TC was binding up causing the motor/module to fail. So I took it to the dealer as stated above, they quoted me $2,600.00 for a new Transfer Case, Transfer Case Motor, and Transfer Case Control Module. Hey everyone, just closing the loop here.
