Does he use it as intended? ie: offroading? If so, you need to replace it for brush fire prevention.

Hit up your local salvage yard? Bet they've got a couple.

Pinhole leak and coolant oozing from weephole on the water pump. Stuff happens. It's only 8 years old though. I'm ok with just as good as for 1/3 the cost! :LOL: Denso is an OEM supplier.

It’s water pump and radiator replacement time. Looking at the Denso rad from Rock Auto. Anybody with experience using one? Mopar water pump for sure.

For the relatively inexpensive yet high quality Smitty Gen 1 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/293014065653?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337789113&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

Seafoam won’t hurt anything, but it will not cure a bad fuel level sender. Tank needs to come out and fuel level sender replaced. And used vehicles have no mandated warranty.

I tried a few cheaper units that were in the garage from previous vehicles ending up with a high end Kenwood unit with satellite radio and a built in GPS from Crutchfield. All steering wheel buttons work with their recommended parts.

Change the battery terminals for solid metal ones. The OEM bent steel ones from Chrysler are junk and lose contact easily.

I think (my opinion) he got the tires used (new to him) because they look like the tread is nearly past safe for trail traction. Honestly, I'd rather pop a plastic fender off vs destroying the metal body work when bumping something too. Clips are cheaper than body work.

What’s the best fluid to use? Fresh and change it on the maintenance schedule.

I went to a couple inches shorter metal antenna similar to the OEM for the rare occasions I use broadcast radio. Most of the time I'm on SiriusXM. My personal experience with the stubby antennas has them ending up in the trash can.

No cost test fix, try resetting the ECU? I'd definitely look at the engine grounds too. https://wranglerjkforum.net/threads/how-to-reset-the-ecu-on-a-jeep-wrangler-jk.26109/

How many miles on your Jeep?

I’d be getting the engine oil pressure checked. Low oil pressure is not a good thing.

OEM? 11 years is a good long time for them to last.

For the Jeep window sticker, copy the link, paste it in the browser window, add your VIN after the = symbol and hit enter. https://www.chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=

I'll repeat -> I tow a 12' cargo trailer twice a year and it was incredibly painful to do so with the 3.73s and 35" tires with my 2016. Even just moderately hilly roads had the trans hunting gears. OD was useless. Since the change to 4.88s, my gas mileage has gone up a couple MPGs and the...

35s with 3.73 gearing is tolerable if you add a pedal commander, but a regear is the long term solution.

Hmmmm, wonder if “sky blue and flying thru” USAF (Retired) would help me…

Yes, filters and fluids. I sent mine to the local Jeep dealer to have it done in May.
