This is the best resource I've ever found for tracking down leaks and fixing them. https://www.meyerdistributing.com/marketing/filestore/RMA/Jeep_Diagnosis_and_Repair_Manual_for_Leaks.pdf

LoL I thought that was a typo. Nope.

Not even some steering wheel bedazzling? :LOL:

You might have a bent axle or "C". You could try replacing the ball joints and/or getting a shim like you mentioned. An offroad shop should be able to tell you if the axle is bent.

I have the non-hydro assist version of the PSC big bore running 35's. It is hands down awesome. Steering on and off road is perfect. I can turn the wheel with one finger while stopped. Full kit of pump, hoses, reservoir, cooler, gear box, fluid and pitman arm is about $1700. Or was...

Do you have a place/garage to work on it? If so I'd drop the axle on some jack stands and pull it all apart. Check your tires for play to rule out hubs and ball joints on the knuckles before you take them off. Remove the tie rod, drag link and trackbar. Check all the ball joints...

If they didn't screw up the rear main seal install, which is possible, there is a bead of rtv along the back of the oil pan. If that bead was broken when they installed the rear main (and those rubber plugs are access holes for two of those bolts), then it will leak between the block and the...

It was already replaced according to the thread title though.

I still think it's coming from the upper oil pan.

Yup.

If you're replacing with an xrc a winch will bolt right in.

Do you have any codes? Any indicators of a problem before it stopped working (noises, etc?) Is the shift lever working correctly to put it in gear? What's the trans fluid level look like?

If it's an auto, 4.88 gears would be ideal runnin 33's.

Looks like the Wrangler didn't get the new 3.6 until 2018 though.... hilarious. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/verified-engine-start-stop-ess-standard-on-3-6l-pentastar-2018-wrangler-engine/

Looks like the changes took place in 2016. Found an article on some of the major differences. http://australiancar.reviews/2016_Pentastar_V6.php

Yeah kinda glad I ended up with a 3.8 with pretty much zero electronics. The 2007's don't even have tpms. Regearing solves the sluggish issue on 35's. Only downside to the older JKs is that you can't really run 37's without major upgrades in the axle beef department.

Built in anti-theft device too. :LOL:

You could see if the P/Ns for the sensors and stuff are the same if you're going to strip it down that far. Everything that would plug into a wiring harness would have to be verified.

Not sure what you mean. A 2012 JK has a 3.6. Admittedly there are some differences, like a better valve train in the 2016+ 3.6 Not sure if you'd need major wiring/PCM changes tho.

You could try replacing the PCV valve. That might help some.
