OP, look up "JT the car guy" on YouTube. He has a lot of info on the 3.6 and repairs he's done. In fact, you can send the guy $20 and he'll consult with you. Never hurts. Best of wishes ✌️

Could be the famous 3.6 "tick". Swear that JKU's are a turd-brick. If its coming from the bottom, maybe waterpump or exhaust. But Id be skeptical. Curious how many miles on your 15?

Last year, I switched from ceramic pads to semi-metallic. It made a big difference and Im satisfied while running 35's (D rated) Mickey Thompsons. Stops lovely. My point being: a big brake kit is not always needed for everyone.

This is one hell of a b#tch! I really want to know how Jeep exits this situation.

If it where me, I would expect them to give me the money back for the warranty and let me keep the Jeep. They defaulted on their part of the contract. I honestly feel that is fair. Cars break down. Its not their doing that the engine reached its demise. Everything "dies" as TypoNegative put it...

I use a grade 8 bolt. Threads into my bike rack and holds it snug.

I don't think "bad" fuel would be an issue these days unless the Jeep sat dormant for a year. Only place I'd believe there's an exception of possibly contaminated fuel would be Miami. 😆 Sound like a bad cat like as @BLACKJKU suggested. Keep us posted if you have any resolve or find anything you...

I used this (see below post) to stop the onboard computer from reading the TPMS sensors. Then I went as far as replacing my wheels and tires and going to regular valve stems. Screw the TPMS BS. https://www.quadratec.com/p/aev/procal-module-wrangler-jk-30406007

TPMS sensors are useless. At least that's my opinion. I deleted mine shortly after buying my jeep. Couldn't be happier. Even on my commuter Honda, I'm having those things removed. Useless and annoying.

126k is up there. There will no doubt be things that need replacing. Question is when? So what does this warranty cover EXACTLY, and what is your deductible, if any, and what is the limit of repairs? Meaning do they "fix" it once and thats it per component? Furthermore, do they do the repairs...

Not knowing all the details, I dont see $h%t coming of this other than a good "story" to publish. I can certainly imagine a defense lawyer reversing the tables and countersuing for their clients stress and unnecessary hassle.

After owning a 'new-to-me' JKU (purchased from a longtime friend) I wouldn't buy another JK without a good warranty. There's so many weird and annoying things (especially for my OCD) that could go wrong unexpectedly. It's a MF'r. Make sure they put it in writing that they'll "fix" the issues...

@Vman sure is a heck of a lot of miles but still, not a Jeep Wrangler 3.6, it's a Durango 3.6 😆😆 Funny enough, I watched a video on YT yesterday and the tech said that he himself has never had to fix a ticking issue on a 1500 with the 3.6! Here ya go:

I commend you for being so incredibly ambitious and going in-depth to correct your issues. Learning never hurts and it's surely keeping you busy. I would have lost my f*^%ing mind. Hope you figure it out and school us in the process. ✌️

Ah, well then there you go. But labor-wise they are bastards. Especially with parts. Hope it works out. Chime back 🤘

DO NOT TAKE IT TO A DEALER. They won't even know what to do with an older gen Jeep. Least not most dealers, and they'll take you for a lot of dough. Guaranteed. Find a good local mechanic. Ask friends and family, talk to locals or small store owners in the area and they'll give you...

Well written lol @Anybodyhome -I enjoyed reading that. Awful looking and surely worst to drive. As I say: 'your Jeep, your money, your choice'. I cant get down with that, though. 😷

Tell me about it! Last Spring I waited all through summer to get my MT's. Worth the wait, but an awful experience.

I'll put it in simple terms: not cheap If you drive more than 25 miles a day, it will add up.

Dropped my 13 off to have a slight wobble "fixed" and its getting very annoying to always be 'fixing' shyt. Really considering a Japanese sedan now, because a Tacoma will only be a costly moving goal post too!
