Hi Folks,

On the way back from the Cardiologist (not good news but this is another story...) Margie and I decided to head to our local sports bar & grill for a couple beers and a burger. The freeway southbound ramp was shut down and there sat a Gladiator in flames.....Fire trucks were trying to put out the fire but tires were on fire front and rear....Iikely a total loss...wonder what happened???

best,
Phil
I saw on the AJCP site that the clutches can catch fire and have been recalled.

This is a members Gladiator that experienced the issue.

Hi Nick,

Well....I am settting this up for if I do not make it...my wife, who is not very well versed in computer forums can at least say that I am no longer around. Odds are I will make it, but who knows... I have contacts that all of a sudden drop our of sight and never reapppear... They are likely with their maker but who knows. My family history does bode well for me either....so RP might do a dance on my grave to which I think he would delight...So be it...

Best,
Phil
Phil, you and Margie are in my prayers. ??

No way I'm waiting another 3 years for a Bronco while non reservation holders are out driving theirs. Besides I don't want to end up like this one. o_O I'd rather the Jeep catch fire and collect the insurance money. lol ?

Sounds like you need to break the chain of following the family footsteps! A positive attitude and outlook goes along way....so does a "back up battery"! Keep up the fight my friend!

Nope...Electrical problem...not blood flow...
I think the way it works is if you eat a pound of smoked pork butt with fried onions, the cholesterol lines your blood vessels making them slipperier and reduces your blood pressure.

They must of tried the auto sway bar disconnect. Looks like someone hooked it up wrong and connected it to the tie-rods. lol

"Our technician had it out for about an hour but couldn't find anything wrong with it. Bring it back if it starts doing it again."
Mine told me to drive in reverse and it should straighten itself out. :crazy:
