[QUOTE="Creston, post: 443519, member: 22510"] An engine is easy to diagnose. Its all mechanical. If the leakdown, compression, and visual checks of the engine are good then swapping another good engine will fix nothing. The electrical/sensor/ computer side is likely the issue and will be kept. An engine that is bad/low compression etc etc won't run fine on one startup and miss the second one. And yes Mopar as a company has been so plagued by reliability issues that is has been bought and sold repeatedly for 20 years. NO other car company has been sold repeatedly in their 100+ year history. Much less multiple times in 20 years. I bought 2 brand new in a week back in 08. I will Never buy another Mopar made after about 1975 or so. I do however work on them a lot in my shop and still have my Rubicon. Once its dead (and its well on its way to rotting apart with only 54k miles) ill never have another. Toyota, Ford, GM, etc etc have occasional hiccups too but just look at the 80s,90s,00s models with 300-400k on them compared to Mopar with the same. When I bought my Rubicon in 08 I debated between an FJ and the Jeep. Made the dumbest choice possible. Have regretted it greatly since. I wanted to "buy American". Jeep has been German, Italian, half French, and Dutch since then.... [/QUOTE]
