Well, the TJ went off to the dealer, traded in for a brand new '07 Wrangler
Unlimited Sahara.
She got just what she wanted, she says.
We were open with the dealer about the low oil pressure issue, and they
didn't seem to care. They really wanted that TJ.
So, I don't have any info on the actual cause at this point, they assured me
they'd fix it and let me know. Apparently, the son of the dealer wanted our
old one, so they are going to fix it.
