Did he run a leak down test? The primary cylinder head issue is high valve seat recession on the driver's side head. If this is advanced enough to cause an issue the leak-down test would show it.

Oil pressure will play a role in this as well. Multi viscosity oils are complex. They start out with a base oil that is the same as the "Winter" weight rating. So 5W-20/30 begin as an SAE 5 oil and then are chemically formulated to act as a 20 or 30 as the temperature increases. The...

You could drain the oil and refill with a heavier weight and see if that changes or eliminates the tick.

Welcome! Great low mileage find!!

Not looking to sell but a few months ago I entered my info into Carvana and my offer was $15.5k. Didn't think that was too bad for a 2016 2dr with 78k miles and one minor fender-bender.

Not on topic, but why two cameras? Do you get two separate feeds or are they in a split view?

Good comparator!

Yes! Has happened to me twice already. Once with rear camera, once with LED headlights/foglights.

This is essentially what I did. JKU Rubicon springs on a JK Sahara. I went with a 1" spacer in front since I have a heavier front bumper and push bar (and will add a winch at some point). I purchased and was going to add 1/2" in the rear but I buttoned it up without it first and was happy...

So this essentially means everything around it all got wet, correct? I wouldn't rule out a wire harness issue, however, my guess would be that you have some corrosion on the head unit circuit board. It's tripping a circuit and shutting off and then resets when you remove power.

Agree. I added a spacer to the front to level out my 2dr. No issues since.

Look forward to digesting those details as you make updates!

Well stated. The other factor is the timing from the seller. If there is no urgency to sell you can price it higher and wait for the "right" buyer.

So when it restarts in Park it stays running but the trans doesn't shift to drive? Just want to ensure I'm understanding this correctly. The problem sounds electrical to me. Possibly a faulty transmission range sensor (or whatever it's called - neutral safety switch, etc)? This is what...

I bet!!!

Which one was the culprit?

Welcome. Interested to see the results!

If he already has some performance parts you should be making more than that. The crate motor specs as-is are 383/417

Most of the time I feel like the trans is the only part of the JL I really envy. Then, of course, like any sane motorhead, I start going down the rabbit hole. I can swap in an 8spd, but if I do that I might as well do an engine swap, and that might as well be a 5.7. Then I should upgrade...

Or an internal leak path somewhere that's bleeding off pressure. Bearing, crack, bad device (tensioner, hla, etc).
