I changed the oil cooler because I thought that's where the leak was, and it was not. My janky mechanic at the time suggested RMS.

Hello. I have sourced out a reman 3.6 engine for my 2015 JKU. It will come with many things, but since my Jeep is almost 10yrs old and approaching 220K, I want to replace some other parts as well. I would like to replace the thermostat, both catalytic converters, the radiator, all cooling...

I'm still chasing my issue after 4-5 months. 2015 JKU with the 3.6L. I have replaced all of my O2 sensors, MAP sensor, IAT sensor, coolant temp sensor, throttle body (also rewired the throttle body with a pigtail harness), battery terminals, PCV valve. I have removed some sensors and...

Hey I'm the OP, thanks for commenting your experience! 6 months past the last repairs I mentioned in this thread, and I'm still riding normal-for-a-3.6L temps. Doesn't hardly ever go over 230, mostly low 220s or high teens. I live in the mountains and have various grades and inclines, and...

It wasn't coolant. It was refrigerant that blew out. I don't know where it blew from. I'm wondering if ac pressure has anything to do with fan operation? I have read something in another forum that listed that as something to check when trying to diagnose why fan won't turn on. I know I...

I switched out the fan I just installed 2wks ago and the new one never kicked on. I have ordered a rebuilt TIPM from Mac's and should arrive this coming week. I don't know that it's my TIPM, but I've had some typical random issues come up over the last several months that I never thought to...

Hello I'm having problems troubleshooting an issue. Actually 2 issues, but seem connected to each other. My current problem sidelining me from driving is that I've blown 2 radiator/cooling fans in less than 2 weeks. I bought this Jeep not even a year ago and don't know how old the fan was...

My journey was long and painful. Went thru 4 t-stats from October 2022 to May 2023. 1 replaced by a shop, 1 replaced by me, 1 replaced at time of major repair (heads/water pump/timing chain/cam rockers). After the 3rd replacement during the major repairs, I burped myself to make sure it was...

My most recent thermostat has a Chrysler stamp clearly on it, with no other markings. Everything prior clearly said MotoRad on it. Not home to take a pic at the moment.

My issue was similar after buying a used 2015 JKU last year. Tried everything but the elephant in the room until we couldn't ignore it any longer: the heads/gaskets etc. However, even after the head repair (which included a new water pump and thermostat), I was still overheating. I have had...

Thanks. I did that after installing the TB last month. I also did it just for SnG this morning after the issue came about. After TB installation last month, CEL came back on after a day and I never got the codes scanned. I had it scanned prior to the installation, which resulted in some...

Happy Saturday! I installed a new OEM TB about a month ago and have about 5K miles on it. That took care of the red lightning bolt until this morning. I parked for an hour after driving in the mountains for almost 2hrs. Went to leave my spot and was sitting in reverse for about a minute...

I have driven approximately 500 miles since Friday's home repairs, over various terrain and grades of inclines. Runs a tad warm (230s) on long uphills or short steep ones. But overall driving it, the temp is being maintained at a normal rating. I'm happy to have hopefully put this issue...

So mine WAS both heads needed resurfacing. They did the head repairs, timing chain kit, 2 cams and rockers, new water pump, new thermostat, radiator flush, refill system with OAT (I specified it, I was tired of using the "All Vehicles" coolant). Coolant is returning to radiator. Running a...
