O.K. How did you discover this? Did you notice oil in the coolant first? Or UOA?
You alluded to retooling the factory OC, is Stelantis changing the design?
EDIT: just saw your post

Also makes a case for less spirited driving to keep the second stage of the oil pump from kicking in.
I like to downshift so may quit doing that, as well let up on the throttle a little....
But on the other hand.... thinking as I am typing this, if the pressure is higher on the oil side, I...
Good info. I agree, the seals are suspect as you showed in the pic from the other thread.
IF the oil is contaminated and the OC/seals are suspect, there a several things I would want to do:
Up the oil grade. If the viscosity is being lowered through dilution/contamination, then I will give my...
That photo is pretty convincing. The difference in pressure, no support on the lip of the o-ring where they meet.
This is why I am doing all I can do to keep the OC and those seals in good shape, using good oil with additives to protect the seals, and I keep the oil temp in the HUD and started...
Thicker oil does not mask catastrophic wear, which is what the roller bearing issues is, the pins specifically, but it may help to prevent it. If your timing is off because the cams are rounded off and the lifter is collapsed then thicker oil will not mask it. But running your Jeep cooler as in...
More is more. The more cooling the better. The primary issue, however, is the fan doesn't turn on. Period. It does nothing until it's too late because the values are programmed too high temp threshold and too low of fan speed. If the fan was running sooner and at a higher rate (100%) then many...
I agree the RPM looks fantastic. If I can get more functionality from Tazer if we ask for it, I'll take that too. Your mods and data have convinced me of the need for extra cooling using the fan.
Yes I don't know exactly what is possible as far the programming on their end, but I notice after I turn off the Cooldown function on the Tazer, the fan still runs for about 30 secs at a lower speed as the trans temp drops (as opposed to immediate fan shut down if I turn engine off with the fan...
I agree as far as keeping engine temps in a good range, the fan has to be working and doing it's job. However, I will be opening the vents on my Rubicon hood as it does help with engine bay temps, for the battery, plastics, hoses etc. A fair amount of users result to opening the hood after...
Yes the cool down function is a great option. It just would be nice to not have the noise of 100% on when a lower value would suffice and not have to do it manually.
The factory fan logic is, IMHO, cumbersome and ineffective, as an example I was doing some light off-roading in 50 F ambient...
For anyone interested, see Tazer fan feature request here:
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/tazer-jl-mini-feature-request-cooling-fan-programming-to-help-prevent-overheating.125710/
The feature request is for updating the Cooldown feature. Currently users can force cooling fan ON to 100%. This is working for me as far as keeping the Jeep cool under load (uphill grades, towing, low-speed crawling, heavy stop-and-go traffic) but could be more elegant. As an example, this past...
I just started using the cooldown function on the Tazer, turns the fan on full and I keep the oil temp up on the gauge all the time now. I hit it on before steep mountains or crawling off road or stop and go if it's long enough. (I put in a feature request for some additional cooling features to...
Have you contacted them about cancelling the warranty and refunding you? I don't know which warranty you have but some have provisions where they will prorate and return some funds.
I agree. I suspect CAFE related as well, even though it's electrical, it cost fuel to boost the alternator out put to charge the battery. For reference, my Tundra runs 182-192F typical.
I am using Tazer to manually operate the fan. I will be posting a new thread asking for members to submit a...
@jaymz I wish I knew what springs this Jeep is using (2 door or 4 door). It is really light with plastic bumper group, soft top, does have the armor though. Pretty nice flex.
