I hope to be able to reuse a lot of the existing parts. The dealer really didn’t say much but 12k for new engine and install. But then I got mad and kinda just hung up. 😂 I’m going to dealer tomorrow to talk with them and if no good outcome… I will have it towed home.

Good advice. I will pull it apart and check everything and replace seals. I will update as I truck along with this one. I will bring in someone to help with more experience. I have basic mechanical skills.

I’m good with 5k. 12k is a little insane. I found a used engine with low miles out at local junkyard for around 2k. Have 3 year warranty… not sure about miles though. I will look into it some more and get the project started. :)

Good plan, I appreciate it. Nice to talk to others and see what they think. Instead of everything just in my crazy head :) This is the first time i have ever posted on a forum. I really appreciate the guidance.

Yeah thats a good plan. I should have done work myself. Its my first new car and first Wrangler. I thought going through dealership would make it to where if there were any issues then they would be covered.... I was wrong :( But i guess you live and learn.

Yes, still tore apart there. I just received the news that the warranty wont cover it yesterday, after my Jeep sat there for 2 months. Then I called Chrysler.....but that didn't do much. I will call again today and see if i can get anywhere.

They didn't show me the crack... but when i started the Jeep it had blue-ish smoke barreling out the exhaust. I had it towed to dealership to have it looked at. They initially said it was a warped head. But then when they pulled it apart he said it was a cracked block and needed to be replaced.

The dealership didn't say what caused the block to crack. Im assuming overheating is the cause. I am the only owner of this Jeep and haven't had any issues with it until the dealership did the 100,000 mile work on it. It did overheat and i pulled over right away. But with the aluminum maybe...

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon. It has had all oil changes and 100,000 mile work done by dealership. It has 104,XXX miles on it. It now has a cracked block and has to have engine replaced! I reached out to warranty company that was a 3rd party and their warranty ended at 100k. They are...
