When they “fixed” the rocker tick the 1st time what did they do?
Replaced a few rockers and tappets, they had the Jeep for only a few days. The day they took my Jeep they sent me to their car rental place for a loaner. This was when it was still covered by the factory warrantee.When they “fixed” the rocker tick the 1st time what did they do?
normally they replace all the rockers and tappets on the cylinder head. Not necessarily the camshafts.Replaced a few rockers and tappets, they had the Jeep for only a few days.

Might have been 1 side the first time and the other side the 2nd time. The 2nd time I know they replaced them all.normally they replace all the rockers and tappets on the cylinder head. Not necessarily the camshafts.
This is from personal testimony here.
Sounds like they should have done them all.
The 1st time they did my wife's '16 they only replaced a few tappets and rocker arms... no cams. The 2nd time they replaced all the tappets, rocker arms as well as all the cams.normally they replace all the rockers and tappets on the cylinder head. Not necessarily the camshafts.

How much extra money did they make piece mealing it?The 1st time they did my wife's '16 they only replaced a few tappets and rocker arms... no dams. The 2nd time they replaced all the tappets, rocker arms as well as all the cams.
Well 2nd time was a different dealership. W/ the Extended Warranty I was out another $100.How much extra money did they make piece mealing it?
Not if the issues are with the dealer. 4 months one time and 2 weeks the next time. It says max 5 days but if a dealer issue, they work it out.MaxCare warranty has a time limit on how long a rental car is provided (wasn't aware of this until I took my JK in for the oil cooler housing and it was a couple of months inside the warranty period). To clarify, it isn't a duration of rental but the time window in which they will provide one. It works out ok for me now since my wife is retired and we can get by with one vehicle.
I wonder if this is also a prerequisite before they replace the cylinder head.
That was the progression they followed on my 2015, which developed the tick at around 80,000 miles without a CEL. First they replaced all rockers, lash adjusters, and one worn cam which didn't have any effect on the tick. They then replaced the LH cylinder head which eliminated the tick.I wonder if this is also a prerequisite before they replace the cylinder head.
The 718 Spyders are hard to get new, less then 600 a year are shipped to the US. They only run the 718 Spyders and GT4 for a few years before stopping production for a few years, I was very lucky to get a Spyder allocation for an order last year. It's near impossible to get an allocation for a Spyder or GT4 now. The 718 Spyder is a convertible GT4. They both have GT3 brakes, suspension and motorGlad my wife is not on this forum. She loves that color blue and seeing this would make her trade her Macan in for that exact car! whew, dodged a bullet there. lol.
