About a half hour of highway driving, outside temp was about 106. I went into a housing development, shut down for about a hour and then when I left, got the message right outside the development, my instrument cluster lit up, and the engine died.

Hey, Chris. I know this is an old thread but did your B&M Cooler come with those metal mounts? I bought the Hayden 678 and it just came with some zip ties.

Time for a new radiator. This is a common issue because of frame flex. You could do the spring mod to help alleviate that on a new one. I highly suggest sticking to a mopar one as all the aluminum radiators crack too. I'm on my third radiator with my 2007. I think once this one goes I'm just...

I got a Hayden 678, just have to make a bracket for it. This is the first time I've ever gotten HOT OIL though.

3.8L. I tested every fuse, looked for destroyed wiring, am reasonably sure it's not my TIPM.

Ordered new battery cables, a new starter, and a transmission cooler. I got the dreaded HOT OIL message a couple nights ago so now it's a scramble to figure out what's wrong. Admittedly a couple of these things I've been meaning to get but kept putting off.

Seconding NGK. I've never heard of Bosch in these Jeeps not throwing error codes.

I mounted mine on the middle of my stubby bumper and just ran wire from under it.

We would have to see how you guys have things wired in order to be able to help.

You're probably thinking of the Dorman oil cooler, a popular swap for people with 3.6s.

392s are just too... Flashy. Like they belong on a rice burner or show truck.

I like the top ones better.

This is why I never use quick oil change places for anything. I know Jiffy Lube has been pushing they do brakes now for the past decade but if I wouldn't trust them with something as simple as draining oil, I wouldn't trust them with brakes.

I feel it's a little different now with all the telemetry built into cars nowadays. I don't even think a JL can function if you remove the infotainment unit. I know you have the solder the modem out on them to keep out the worst of the tracking. Just shit I don't want to deal with hence why I'll...

I'm keeping my JK until the frame is no longer able to support a drivetrain. If and when that happens, I'm not getting a shithouse JL or anything newer than that. Just my feelings on that subject.

If my Jeep wasn't also a daily, I'd agree with you but since it's part time off roader instead of full, I can't justify that price. I'm a big fan of going fast as much as the next guy but I can't let my inner teenager run wild on this.

The seals and gaskets are definitely going to fail eventually. In fact I've already done a gasket replacement a couple years ago and that did stop my leaks. I've never had any issues with internal engine components thankfully, not even timing chain issues I read that can pop up as early as 50k...

I don't think my 3.8 requires that intense a rebuild, it's very well taken care of and that seems more like something you'd do to a Pentastar :ROFLMAO:. None the less, I do thank you for the advice and it does give me something to consider. I was thinking all the seals, fuel injectors, timing...

So my '07 is approaching 200k on the original miles, I want to start stockpiling parts for a engine overhaul. Besides the obvious tune up stuff like plugs, wires, PCV, what should I get?

I have Fox 2.0s on my Jeep and they work fine in the NM urban and rural desert.
