I forget the fault code, (don't want to "know it" actually 🙈) but it's certainly been an issue with various JK's. Maybe more on the other 'wrangler' forum. I forget, because I often surf there too for JK info since it is quite robust for that gen. Where as for my TJ, I strictly surf Chris's...

I enjoy this guy's channel and appreciate his opinion. What does the community think? 😂

This is an interesting thread. I don't have any shift issues, but it seems my phones MPH is two miles off from the speedo. So maybe I can gain a tip from whatever is shared here.

I would be so 100 percent into an I6. But it's all the technology tethered to it that makes it undesirable for me at this stage.

Nice! Enjoy Spring break 💯 Good theory, but wouldn't that mean the tick would be cyclical and have a pattern?

Intermittent is odd, for sure. As most technicians say, it's a complex engine. Post up a vid, if you can. Im curious to hear this tick sound. Sometimes my engine can sound ticky, but Im starting to think Im over-listening thinking there's something wrong, when there isn't.

So you want to unload what you currently have and plan on replacing them with 5 fresh new wheels and tires?

Worked for me as well. OP, double check your VIN is correct. Or maybe he ghosted too......

The older Jeep gen, 1997 to 2006. The TJ, in my opinion, is more reliable and DIY-able than the latter 2007 and up. Caveat is that the 07 to 2011's had the 3.8 and they're proving to go upwards lf 200k.

When my battery died, I didn't get didly click anything. Just key turn and nothing. New Duracell "Batteries Plus" store (East Penn Manufacturing) and it's been golden since.

Good choice. I use a movers blanket too, so I don't crude up my garage clothes with some of the previous spillages and fluids that are on the carpet.

The left right and vice versa can be the shorter lower arms with a higher lift. It has to do with what is called caster. That stated, have you had your Jeep professionally aligned? They're the one's to confirm if indeed the caster isn't set properly to reduce or eliminate that type of movement.

😂 ya man, I had to put something down on that cold concrete floor. It is funny, though. Sort of like the 'royal carpet' for my Jeep.

Changed the wiper motor. Easy job, btw.

Honestly, unless someone like Rogan or other Podcasts hop on with Sirius, I give them 2 years.

Looks like a toy. But then again, a lot of Jeeps do. Partially what I like about them....they remind me of the Tamiya RC's I grew up with. But ya, those wheels are not cool and def an ass killer / jaw breaker.

To confirm if its the brakes / wheels: Id get it up to 30/35 mph, lightly apply the brake and note if the sound stops. Certainly sounds like something in a wheel. Guessing right front, since its so audible.

@Vman shyt, I gotta follow up and read that link. Previous post gave me the impression they updated the engine within the JK line. Which they must have done along the way, because Chrysler did offer a warranty extension for failing passenger side cylinder heads on the early 3.6's, up to mid...

interestingly enough, I've got friends with the 'updated' version of the 3.6 that had valve train issues and ultimately heads replaced. Both 2017's. One a Willys package. Guess its always a crapshoot. I have heard online mechanics say that the JL versions are the better iteration.

Ive literally considered getting a manual 3.8 Jeep. Probably the sweet spot of the JK gen.
