Hope I am complying with the rules. Here is my question for the SRT4 engineers. Will the SRT4 get the twin clutch transmission?

Will There Be Upgrades For The Turbo?? You Dont Have To Say When, Just If There Will Be.

Thanks

From what we have seen on various boards there seems to be quite a large amount of waranttee work on the Jeep SRT8GC NV146 transfer case, with many being replaced by dealers was/is there a manufacturing problem?

Dear SRT engineers why was I told directly & sternly from chrysler not to drive my grand cherokee srt-8 with the traction control off unless it was under the conditions as stated in the owners manual i.e. snow/slush/mud". This was what I was "scolded" with after telling the dealer of the severe vibrating noises I heard from the drivetrain when driving with the "trac off" - something even their service tech also confirmed. These vibrations were found to be within "spec" so now when I drive with "trac off" next winter can I expect the transfer case to implode as my wheels spin to get out of the driveway ??

1. What can be done, or is anything going to be done, about the horrible launch charectoristics of the Caliber SRT-4. You either bog out or spin like crazy, theres no in between.

2. I'm holding out for mopar upgrade kits because being a salesman for Dodge I want to keep it all mopar, at least as much as I can. Can you at least tell me if my wait will be rewarded or is there no plan for future upgrades?

3. What is the weight of the stock polished wheels?

4. How do you remove the stock SRT shift knob? It pull straight off like the other none SRT calibers.

CSRT questions
1. why is shifting from 1st to 2nd so noisy (normal driving) sounds like the linkage and clutch?
2. why no spare tire, what good is goop going to do if you have a blow out?

Have a 06 Grand cherokee srt8. It keeps flashing service tire press. system my dealer try as they might can't make it quit. They tell me I may just have to learn to live with it. I am afraid that this is just not some thing that I feel that I should have to live with. I can't watch anything else when every minute or two it goes to service tire press. system. Any hints as how to help me and them out. Thanks HELP PLEASE

how would you tell us to launch the car at the dragstrip?

using mobil 0w 40 would you reccommend changing the oil at 3000 or 5000 miles?

these seats suck to keep clean any kind of liquid seems to stain them.. i had a wetsponge with soap on it and left a huge stain what would work to get it out

misfires, rattles, oily dipsticks ... theres been quite a few people complaining of the same issues, are there any planned recalls or tsb's other than the rad hose and re-flash coming out?

people in the same areas (as close as 1 town apart) are reporting significant variations in boost levels and behavior (creeping, spikes, some boost 7 others 12) what could be causing this being that differences are being seen in cars with the same environment and elevations.
