    ECT Broke Off

    Just an update. Without time right now, two Jeep shops in Austin don’t have time for at least 30 days. A friend has a shop, and luckily they have 2 shop vehicles, both Jeeps with the JK. Head mechanic laughed, said now he knows the 3.8 big time. They found an eBay lower manifold and will...

    Yeah, that’s a big job. I just don’t have the time right now with work, so this is going to get a shop work. Ugh

    The cracks are leaking there. F. Do you know what part that is? Major tear down here?

    ECT Broke Off

    So I did what you said, all good, appreciate it. There’s a bigger problem. This has been an overheating problem for a while. I think getting this ECT exposed it worse

    ECT Broke Off

    Got it out, dam. Had to use the easy out and get it all the way bottomed out. Didn’t end up needing to drill

    ECT Broke Off

    I walked (and cussed), my process to clear the head and think on these without making it worse. I came to the same, gonna soak penetrant on it , clean the area to make sure it can get down there, and clean out the wiring, measure for an easy out, and go get one. Thanks for the link

    ECT Broke Off

    Mind is racing here, it was so stuck the dam thing broke off, and I didn’t think I was turning that hard. So it’s obviously frozen in there hard, I can only think it’s going to be crazy hard to get out now.

    ECT Broke Off

    So….the ECT just broke off on my son’s 2008 Jeep Jk! I’m stepping away, as I’m about to lose my cool here. A simple sensor job just turned into a couple days of work most likely. Anyone see this??

    Suggestions For Remanufactured 3.8 Engine

    @Chris and other guys. My buddy here in Austin got his son a 2011, and he threw a rod in it, and a reman engine is going to be needed. He looked at Jasper engines, which is who he has used in the past on other work, but they want $5k. Seems high to him, but I don't know the space right now on...
