Sent my 2015 JKU Rubicon with 15,800 miles and (a lot of) money to RubiTrux for a 6.4L Hemi swap.
Quick turn around and everything looks good.
Complete transformation. The driving experience is just what I wanted. I am reasonably satisfied. Exhaust note sounds great although a little loud for my taste. There were no exhaust options aside from a header upgrade which I did not select.
Chose them primarily for the assurance all systems would work and there would be no problems with dash lights or codes.
I was told upfront the only thing that would no longer work was the oil life % buried deep in the menu. That was not a problem for me.
I am experiencing a reoccurring check engine light due to a catalyst code (P0430 pre sensor replacement, P2098 post sensor replacement). In addition it has a stored skim key code (P0633) which I am now told all hemi conversions have. Not a big deal but I would have preferred to know up front.
Rubitrux has been somewhat responsive and we are working with my local mechanic to try and solve. So far a O2 sensor has been replaced. However, the issue still persists.
Not only is the check engine light a real bummer to hear ding on each start up- The remote start will not work when the code is active.
When cleared it comes back in 3 drive cycles.
Rubitrux has indicated they will pick up, repair and redeliver if needed. Fair enough. However, I was told they would put about 200 miles on it to ensure everything was good. They did not drive it that far. Looks like about 1/2 that. Had they done the 200 miles I am confident this would have occurred before it was returned to me.
I'm going to give it one more shot here and it's going back.
I will keep this thread updated with info as things progress.
This was very expensive. I was not able to locate much info on the web regarding actual owners experiences. Hopefully this post will help others in the future.
