Interesting comments on your build I have a 2016 jk manual 81k on 37's I have blown three power steering pumps. Never had and oil cooler problem still on the stock plastic one. I've had one thermostat fail do to a check engine light. Never left me stranded!

Good to see that you still have the Wrangler! I’ve gone back and forth a lot about getting rid of mine for something that handles the freeway better (3.8) but so far it hasn’t actually happened. After that fall colors trip we shoulda schedule some kind of viewer ride! 👊

I’ve been thinking about that too, would be a blast! And yeah man, I’ve heard great things about the reliability of those 3.8s!

Thanks for the video. I subscribed and look forward to seeing and learning more from your experiences. Here’s the story of my recent experience: I bought a 2017 JKU Rubicon just over a week ago. It has the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and 2 weeks before my purchase it received a tuneup at the dealership including the replacement of all spark plugs, fuel injection service, and throttle body service. The day after I brought it home I drove over to the auto parts store to buy a drop in K&N air filter (basic first upgrade). I noticed the coolant was extremely low to empty so I purchased a jug of coolant and filled it up, replaced the filter, then cranked up and watched for a leak. After a few minutes all looked well so I took off back to the house. About 3 blocks away from the store my check engine light came on. I turned right back around and had them run computer diagnostics and it came back with both cylinder (2) and cylinder (multi) misfire codes. Since everything else had recently been serviced I assumed it must be coil packs and dropped it back off at the same dealership that did the tuneup. The next day I get a text that it’s going to be a $3,300 repair to replace the left (driver’s) side cylinder head and gaskets. After doing some research I found that this is more or less a “known” issue and I think even was a recall on the 2012-2014 models. I asked the service manager why they hadn’t noticed this during the $1,200 repair that was performed less than 200 miles ago. He said they do not perform a compression test until after first trying the spark plugs and fuel injectors… I have no idea if this is standard practice for mechanics/service departments. Either way I was not at all pleased with the situation. At 58k miles (decently low mileage for a 2017) it is still just under the 60k mile drivetrain warranty, however that warranty actually expired in Apr 2022 due to the 5 year expiration date clause. I checked and the previous owner’s extended warranty was non-transferable and he was absolutely not interested in helping to pay for the repair after having done his due diligence with the recent 60k service check and tuneup. The check engine light had been off since then (about 50 miles of driving before my purchase). So… WTF do you do in this situation???!!! Well, after taking a moment to breathe 🧘 and ensure I didn’t just snap off at the entire world, I proceeded to call the Jeep Cares Warranty Customer Service line, 1 (800) 992-1997. I gave this same play by play to the intake rep. FYI, he didn’t initially ask for the full story/explanation but when I asked he said he could take it down so the case representative would have it as early as possible. The very next day I received a phone call from my case rep explaining that they were going to offer “goodwill support” and cover all parts and labor costs!!! I don’t know what to say other than I was ecstatic and it was a huge relief to know I wasn’t going to start off my ownership of this awesome and not at all inexpensive vehicle by additionally forking out several thousand dollars in repairs. I previously owned a 2000 Wrangler TJ 4-cylinder SE which I bought brand new (8 miles) and owned for 17 years. It was purchased as an absolute base model with manual transmission, 2 doors, soft top, no bells, no whistles, no carpets, no back seat or seat belts, power nothing, no radio, etc. It was basically a highway friendly lawn tractor on 4 spare doughnuts. As far as I have found you can no longer buy them like that from the factory unless maybe you’re going to use it as a LHD mail truck. That thing had nearly zero maintenance issues outside of normal wear and tear, and being that I bought it when I was teenager I did not treat it the way I treat my vehicles now. I once tried to use it as a battering-ram to flip over a beached boat that had floated up after a hurricane. Several times I took the top off during tropical storms to go joyriding. I got it stuck on a one vehicle 2am mud ride and 3 of us slept in muddy seats while one buddy used the hood as a futon (don’t do this it will leave a dent). At 55mph in 4H I drove it through 2 miles of marsh grass and mud along side a South Mississippi bayou. (Not at all proud of that one, I was just young and dumb.) Somehow it held strong for almost 300k miles despite all my trips, moves, crazy antics, punishment, and on top of that it still sold for over $5k after almost two decades. So to me it was a no brainer what to buy when I started looking for a new vehicle early this year. I read many good things and a few horror stories about the Pentastar. As mentioned in the video, it is a bit discerning that an engine Jeep/Chrysler has installed for so many years still has some known design flaws they’ve seemingly not addressed, but regardless I am extremely happy with the result of my call to Jeep Cares Customer Service and highly recommend you give them a call before opening your wallet. Don’t feel the need to argue your case, just present them with the facts and see what they have to say. After my experience it seems they are going to do what they can to help and they actually do care that you get to enjoy the ride as much as I have. I pick up my Rubicon on Monday and I am very much looking forward nice summer evening drives through the woods, camping, and even my morning commute to the office. Cheers and hope to see y’all out there!

What motor oil you use?

I hesitated to post this since it reads like a Jeep fanboy rant .. haha. 08 JKX 3.8 Manual, 71k. Conservative 2” lift with 33’s on stock gearing. Owned it since 50k miles and it’s been a reliable light off-roader but mostly my A to B in punishing stop and go L.A traffic. Yes, you gotta push that weak 3.8 hard to get any power and drive at lower gears for longer but all around a super reliable platform on account of its simplicity. Except for a coolant leak from the thermostat housing, which was an inexpensive breeze to replace, no leaks or issues ever since. Coming from devout BMW ownership, this JK is the most user serviceable vehicle I’ve ever owned with its easy and accessible oil/fluid changes and all-around fanatical support base. With 1.6 Million JK’s sold it also bodes well for used parts access for years to come. I have absolutely no compelling reason to go with a JL when JK’s are just better in terms of build potential and aftermarket support. My next vehicle will probably be a low miles first gen JKUR to modify into a more serious off roader.

I told them to take the rotor off and look at the tone ring, it’s covered in hardened grease, and they argued with me “I gotta take off the rotor”, I said, “I’ll come down there and do it in 5 minutes”. 10 mins later, I get the call “Oh sorry, you’re correct, you have a small leak”.

It sounds very familiar with cheap plastic parts. The rugged vehicles are more often being toys for a segment with money and no clue what the purpose of an offroader or a pickup is. But they gladly pay for plastic and low profile tires as if it makes the vehicles perform better. But the world go an extra mile for bling - so they get to decide. Why can't those people just opt for an Escalade - it's ruined from the factory. Equally bad at being a limo and a 4WD. I mean low profile tires on those things doesn't make a difference in how bad they perform. So no need for putting those things on vehicles where it's a liability...

The touch screen radio in the Jeep JL is PURE TRASH! It will sooner or later delaminate and the functions go wild changing themselves constantly.
