some have had the cloudy coolant issue; the WOT 1st to 2nd shift issue; paint chipping on front air dam; many have had the O ring (transmission) issue; some have squeaky brakes / rotor issues

I bought my 06 used and the prev owner couldn't stand the goodyears because of the separting issue and it now has a new set of Nittos on it. Another issue that I have notice and that there is a stall in the throttle response, once in a great while. I've had the Jeep for about 3 weeks now, and it's done it about 3 times. Would anyone have any idea of what that could be? I was thinking that I might need to check the fuel filter to see if there is junk in it, but not too sure.

rear end wheel hop over bumps @ speed. truck stays stable, but it's a bit disconcerting the first few times it happens.

I know what your talking about with the throttle response bro. Mine does it too and according to a few guys on here they said that if you get a custom tune it will go away. Also the sluggishness that you experience between 35 to 50 mph as well will go away. There is a product called the Sprinter on here that is suppose to elimate that Throttle response as well. Performance werks sells it.

Theres no major problems that should deter you from buying it.
