I’ve done several rocker replacements due to tick in JK and GC 3.6 engines. If you get to it quickly, you can get away with just replacing the offending rocker. If you wait, it may destroy the cam lobe. It’s my understanding that the intake rockers in the 2018+ are redesigned, so I’m not sure...

Has for 30 years even. Too bad they didn’t adapt with the times…

Not good. Likely a blown head gasket. Hopefully you got a warranty with it. Good luck.

The Gladiators had an issue with the passenger rear seal leaking. Jeep’s fix was to replace the entire axle shaft assembly (cheaper than paying for a seal replacement). The gladiator shaft has a different profile, but the seals and other parts are the same. Not sure the real problem was actually...

Can I ask how long ago you ordered? I wanted to order one, but the long wait has me looking on lots…

Any of those between -12 to +25 will work just fine with those tires. Within acceptable parameters, it’s mostly aesthetic preference.

I’m having a hard time reconciling these two statements as referring to the same situation.

You just zip tie it around the line, to the slot on the inner side, where the metal tab used to go. Their photo is of the passenger side.

I’ve used a right angle impact adapter and an impact step bit successfully in those kinds of tight spaces. As to the brake line bracket (the one that used to bolt to the lower control arm) remove it altogether using pliers and vice grips to bend it open.

Did they give you a 3rd engine and this is happening?

Hey Tri-City- What is the expected order to delivery timeline right now? I’ll hopefully be in the market soon, but don’t want to wait 6 months. I got spoiled when y’all got my Gladiator delivered in 7 weeks back in 2019.

I’m a hockey puck guy, but Metalcloak’s adjustable bump stop system can be added without any drilling or removing coils. Good luck.

Just tell me where to park!

I’m not afraid of the Pentastar, but 3 of the 5 I’ve owned either had or started the tick. One of them twice, on different sides. I’ve just learned to get on the repair quickly so that the cam lobe doesn’t get damaged. I’m also not convinced there is a known fix. Some get it, and some don’t. It...

But still nothing like the design of the new full float axle.

I'll disagree. The AMC 20 didn't even have splines on the hub. They had a keyway, and the key would shear easily, destroying the hub and axle shaft. These look like they're splined identically to the front shaft/hub that has been used since the YJ (but improved upon over the years). I've never...

I’d be happy to have one, being unable to justify the expense of tons and having bent axle flanges on a couple of D44s over the years. I don’t think these hubs would bend, as that’s not a tuning on the front unit bearing hubs. I wish he had reported on spline count. I don’t see the taper as a...

Does it bother anyone else that future vehicle production is being dictated by union contracts rather than technology advances and market demand?

Trying to climb the ledge and got left front wedged in an undercut section. Popped the u-joint. Tried to keep driving 3WD, and the axle shaft yokes bound up and popped out the ball joints. Had a ball joint press delivered and made the repair. I was stupid for trying to keep driving, but...

Field repair and drive out. I’ve been there…
