By this reasoning, you are really courting death by using an unapproved brand of brake pads, non OEM style rotors, and very non OEM recomended shocks. OEM recomended means absolutley nothing. In many cases OEM recomended products are significantly lower in quality or durability (good luck getting Jeep to warranty some Moog ball joints).

Nice generalization. The Jeep dealerin Germany installed Moog joints in the Jeep because they did not have any in the supply in Germany. So if thereis a failer on the Moog products it is covered by Jeep. We are speaking of oil and the effects on the engine. M1 is the only brand I have seen or found that addresses the issues of the EGR system.

Only for 12 months/12,000miles since it is not a OEM part #,plus Fiat has been cracking down harshly on the warranty stuff.Oh and by the way MOOG makes the OEM LBJ's also.

How does M1 address the issues of the EGR system?
