    Short version: Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) emailed me saying since the overheating, failing engine with metal shavings inside is already opened up at a private mechanic, just go ahead and order an engine and have the private mechanic replace the engine, and they will just send a goodwill...

    Have a p0302 a p0304 and the downstream O2 sensor light intermittently on the same side. Jeep also has intermittent rough idle. No tick. No loss of power. And normal fuel economy. I'm at a loss.

    Helllooo Is stole the following pic from this thread: In about the center of the pic there is a hose, with a yellowish plastic endpiece with a greenish cap. What is this for? Kinda looks like the breather on my 2016 JKU, except mine is in the wheewell...

    2013 JKU with 92K miles. I may be having two separate issues... I just started hearing a pretty noticeable tapping noise that appears to be coming from the passenger side of the engine: The first thing I did was check the oil. I changed it 900 miles ago and it was down between a half to...

    In my journey to pick up a later model JKU, I've stared at a number of these engines now and the black intake manifold / plenum has always fascinated me. And until reading another thread here, it did not fully strike me that the entire intake manifold might be made of plastic. PN...

    I am trying to figure out what other engines will fit in a 2013 JK. Will an engine from a Dodge Charger, Challenger, Caravan, Durango, etc. fit. They are all 3.6L Pentastar but are they interchangeable. Is there a cross reference that will have that information. Thank you to everyone for the...

    I am in the market for a new to me Jeep. I have roughly $12,500 cash to put down on this new Jeep. The reason I have the cash is because my current car is paid off. Being that I don't have a car payment now one of my deciding factors with getting a Jeep is whether or not to have a car...

    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this situation... I am asking for fact and experiences, as well as opinion. :) 2012 JKU 68k miles: I started the engine and drove about 15 fwy miles to run an errand. When I came out and stared the engine I heard a loud ticking noise immediately. It...

    To some these won't come as a surprise, but there is a strange mix of the errors and so the conspiracy theorist in me comes out a little. This has all happened in the span of 4 weeks. There's some useful stuff in here to consider - stuff I wish I knew before going ahead with some of the work...

    Hey guys got a question: So I've had my current JKU for over a year and half now and I remember noticing this sound since the test drive. The PO installed a Banks Air Ram and I knew that prior to purchase, and I don't even know if its related, but every time I shift (its a 6 spd) at exactly...

    I got a P0520 code not long ago. And my jeep (2013 JKU with the 3.6, auto, 75000km) started idling rough at 700rpm. I was informed by the dealer that warranty doesn't cover. So I ordered the part. (As for the rough idle, I started running premium, my air filter was new and my throttle body...

    Hi all, Shopping around for Jeeps and I'd love to get a used JK. I'm not looking to drop more than $25k and I'd prefer to keep it below around 70,000 miles. A lot of 2007-2011s fit into that range but I've heard some horror stories about the 3.8L V-6 that sits under those hoods. I've heard...

    Fast startup idle seems to be a common issue with Pentastar JKs. I have read many threads on this on Wrangler forum but will admit to still being confused as to startup RPM. Maybe some of you more knowledgeable JKers can help. I live in south Florida, not exactly a challenging place for...

    Hi everyone, I recently hydolocked my 2013 JKU and I found a good deal on a 2016 3.6 but Im not completely sure if it will fit. If anyone has any info please let me know! Thanks

    An article published by trucktrend.com (cached image of page) says that the new Wrangler will have an updated Pentastar with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a higher compression ratio (CR) but will not have gasoline direct injection (GDI). Seeing how the compression ratio is already rather...

    Hi all, I am a former jeeper looking to buy again before the end of the year. I ideally want a new (or 2012+ used) Rubicon 2 door manual, but I don't know if I can afford it. I want to keep the Jeep I buy for a long time and eventually make it a trailer queen/weekend wheeling toy. I like the...
