The production shortage plaguing the market for automotive chips is a combination of new and old problems, none of which can be easily solved.
Ford Motor last week was the latest auto maker to show the fallout. The company said Thursday that it is cutting production by up to 20% in the first quarter due to its inability to procure enough chips. Rival General Motors said a day earlier that it planned to trim production at North American factories due to the shortage. Volkswagen sounded an early warning in December about the issue, which is affecting auto makers across the board that need chips to control everything from infotainment systems to power management to systems monitoring.
4.11 Gears Commander/Grand Cherokee WK Anyone upgrade to 4.11 gears from 3.73? Its a $2500 mod.but my low end torque is horrible. From a stop she s a snail, and going up hill she s a snail. Once she s at highway speed it s a little better.
