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!

Im not even kidding when I say there is no dealership you can trust. That is their main purpose— to raise the bottom line. They upsell constantly. And I do take my commuter car to a dealershit when I find a coupon for an oil change. But I immediately advise the service rep that Im there only...

Oh 100%, not only the Jeep but the Durango, Chargers, min van (forget the name) but it's all here: https://tuningpro.co/the-4-most-common-fca-pentastar-3-6l-engine-problems/ The comments are epic!

Those bastards.....they almost always default to a "new motor"as the fix. I've read it on forums all too often. Sorry, man, really. I would be completely shitty about it too. Crank arm, Im guessing, is the same as the crank shaft which is deep in the engine. My suggestion is to call all the...

Great color and probably a good call. The JL went up in value (as all Jeeps have) but you probably made a little chunk of change on the way back to a JKUR......or maybe broke even, as you did mention 2drs. Either way, cheers on the purchase! And double the cheers on a manual.

Wild guess: clogged radiator?

Honestly, I was wondering if its something below the overhead cams too. Im very curious to read what a dealer service tech's take is on the noise. Hoping they don't play games with a costly labor diagnosis and do give you some straight forward suggestions judging from their experience with...

@kbar691 I gave up looking for a Tacoma and now looking to trade my JKU in for an Acura or other lux Japanese vehicle. Taco prices are obscene! And they suck on gas too. 🖕 Still keeping the TJ. I love that little fartbox.

@kbar691 I had four different shops tell me either they don't open engines anymore, or that they've attempted to fix "ticking" 3.6 engines and it didn't remedy the noise. Obviously unhappy customers after seeing the bill. So these shops no longer do them. 2 of the shops suggest customers go to a...

How are you checking oil pressure, with an OBDII or Jscan? If it comes and goes- literally goes away, then I can't imagine how it's a lifter (lash adjuster) or rocker follower.

Wow, that is just beyond aggravating. All those components and no change, or a slight quieting of the noise? I honestly would just drive it. At this point you know you changed just about everything out and you've got no codes or misfires. So rock n' roll, don't look back. Cross that bridge when...
