    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...

    Really need some help here guys. Are the 3.6 and 3.2 cams the same? If not what's difference I can't find it. I've been told they're the same. Also not.

    Looking for help. I have a 2017 JK and my thermometer keeps running hot. I have had a new radiator put in maybe a year ago and 2 new thermostats within 6 months. I had the 2nd one put in since we thought maybe the 1st one as defective. It did not help. I also feel like the fan sounds like...

    Soooo, my 2012 Jeep Wrangler is my problem child. Brake caliper went out on the way home from buying & the rear end replaced three days after buying it. Since then had a oil leak.

    I'm at loss. Took my 2004 Wrangler (117k miles) to mechanic for state inspection and overall check. $600 later I ended up having him replace my serpentine belt and replace Valve Cover Gasket, PCV Valve and Grommet, which he said was leaking. A day after picking her up and after a 20 min drive...

    Good morning all, happy Monday. So I recently acquired a 2012 4-door Rubicon for a silly low price and I knew I would be inheriting some issues because the price was low, but the cooling system issue I'm having has me completely stumped! I know the 3.6L Pentastar runs hot so you may tell me that...

    Hey guys, I'm new here. Just thought I could get some insight from someone. I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler sport 4.0. So I am having overheating issues, and can't seem to figure out the issue. I've replaced a lot of different stuff on it, such as the thermostat, water pump, heater core, hoses, and...

    I have a '12 Wrangler JK with 88k miles. Had the radiator flushed 15-20k miles ago, which started this problem again. Coolant empties in 3-7 days, but temp gauge reads normal. Happening whether I run the a/c or not, but happening more this summer. Ideas? Tired of coolant on driver's side of...

    My son and I have a 1976 CJ7 with auto trans and the 4.2 engine. Everything had been going great until we were in a parade. At the start of the parade the engine temperature started to raise, and then a radiator hose popped off. It sprayed the water all over the engine compartment. It heated up...

    Hi Guys, we just bought a 89 inline 6. While test driving it, had no issues. After about 25min of highway driving started smoking really bad, cab filled with smoke. Pulled over and checked. The pcv valve blew off the top of the cover and all the oil went with it. Long story short, we managed to...

    I have a 2015 JK, since February its been overheating... So far we have replaced the radiator, water pump, cylinder head, thermostat, and had it burped a couple times to get rid of any air. What gives?! Is it about time to just throw in the white towel and give her up? I really don't want to...
