I doubt they'll treat the next customer any different or even Sir Schnelly when/if he returns with an issue.

Re: The Cherokee is dead. Long live the Grand Cherokee
I'm inclined to agree. Honestly, I was expecting a "fugg off" or an offer of 10% off the retail price of a new key fob. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't click "send" on the first draft - it included many more shits and pisses.

Re: The Cherokee is dead. Long live the Grand Cherokee
Got the key cut and paired today. Other than the initial service writer who made the mistake of asking me how much I was planning to pay (I'm not planning to pay shit, hoss)...the trip went smoothly. Mostly because I walked around on the lot and let my wife handle the "communication" with "other people."
I need to get back to the gym - I'm gonna have a stroke or kill somebody. Or have a stroke killing somebody.
My Class 3 receiver showed up today - and damn, the install is SWEET compared to the Cherokee. The GC frame is already drilled and tapped and pre-filled with micro-encapsulated bolts - No cutting, no fascia alterations, and enough towing capacity to actually drag my other cars somewhere if I needed/wanted to.
I also tried to fit up my winter 18's from my old X5 - but the bolt pattern is different. It was worth a try...gonna see if I can find some moron - er, BMW X5 enthusiast - to buy my ancient Blizzaks on ugly Moda wheels.
Did the first oil change in the GC today - weird top-mounted oil filter is weird; they made it EXTRA weird by requiring a 15/16" socket to remove the filter housing to get to the replaceable element. It's pretty much like the 996 filter arrangement - except upside down and on top of the motor. I used Mobil 1...wonder if Raby does Mopar rebuilds.

Re: The Cherokee is dead. Long live the Grand Cherokee
My 1.5 hour drive back up the mountain took 6 hours. The Cajon Pass was a slip-n-slide - near white-out at the crest. 2 of 3 highways to Big Bear were shut down, and I needed 4-low and chains to get up the 18 through Lucerne Valley. Lots of people car-camping in snow banks last night...

Damn man glad you had chains. Winter weather is something else down here - coming from a kid that grew up in WI and everyone knew how to handle it.

Californians just suck at winter driving. Saw a guy launch himself over the concrete median on 91 West yesterday and land on the eastbound side - in an emergency lane, thankfully.
Probably not gonna buff right out.
