  1. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    In my experience, higher gear ratios (lower numerically) run cooler than lower gear ratios do--but it can all depend and larger tires "offset" the deeper gearing (which is why it is needed in the first place). I ran a steel cover on the Wrangler because I needed to weld in the bung for the...
  2. Major Oil Leak Already!!!

    OT - but loving that new avatar!
  3. What Grease Are You Using?

    For my Metal Cloak and Dynatrac suspension components, I ran Mystik JT-6 with 3% moly and used a Macnaught K32 gun. I added a Lock and Lube Coupler for the Metal Cloak zerks and a Lock and Lube Needle for the Dynatrac zerks, Buy once and cry once. Grease -...
  4. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Only if he WANTED to install 5W-30. The engine is spec'ed for 0W-20 so...5W-20 (for this exercise) is the same.
  5. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Yep; I hear you and appreciate the suggestion, but the OP is reacting/worrying about nothing. 0W-20 and 5W-20 is indistinguishable in any engine that specifies xW-20 in it as the 3.6L does. There would be nothing to thicken--the number to the right of the "W" is what indicates operating...
  6. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Well (for me), if it was that much of a concern, just dump it. What are we talking about $25 for 5 QTs of oil? But he used 5W-20 in a 3.6L? Much ado about nothing...
  7. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Not so much of a "no" as a totally not needed and complete waste of money. Back in the days of API SG or SH this may have had some merit, but if you using a high quality oil today, it is absolutely not needed. Also, depending on the oil's additive pack, adding 3rd party additives could actually...
  8. What fluids do I need?

    You can also use this versus a hand pump. The transfer case on the Wrangler is easily accessible and this nozzle fits both small and large opening quart bottles--it has an adapter inside that can be removed. https://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-10106B-FloTool-Filler-Refill/dp/B000EH4UXM PS...I...
  9. What fluids do I need?

    Does not matter--Dana has specified 75W-140 for all axles that are in a Wrangler. 3QTs should cover both axles--about 1.3QTs in the front and 1.6QTs in the rear. The transfer case should take about 2QTs of ATF+4.
  10. What fluids do I need?

    Your transfer case requires ATF+4. The specification for ATF+4 states that in order to be labeled ATF+4, it must be a full synthetic so pick any one. For the axles, Dana Spicer specifies 75W-140 in both axles. Stellantis reduced the viscosity to meet CAFE requirements (aka improve MPG). Grab...
  11. Regear, check my pattern please

    @chevymitchell + @grimmjeeper ^^^^
  12. AGM vs FLA Batteries and our Jeeps

    Heat will kill a battery far sooner than one operated in a moderate environment and ^^^ this ^^^ is 100% at the root of it. The auxiliary battery is not even needed and Jeep would have been far better off with a single H7.
  13. Accidentally used 5W-20

    I am not in agreement with that given the rocker failures and the like, but your point is well stated.
  14. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Usually, it is true that other countries who do not have to comply with CAFE recommend a higher viscosity oil, so it is easy to assume that it applies to the 3.6L PUG. I found a few Wrangler owner's manuals online for parts of the Middle East and Australia, which almost always have a higher...
  15. Accidentally used 5W-20

    I have never found any--it appears that globally FCA recommended 0W-20. With that said, the other part that is false is the statement that a 3.6L is "viscosity sensitive". It is not. I ran xW-30 in mine for more than 50K miles and I have a friend who is bumping 140K in his and ran 0W-40 from the...
  16. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    I welded a 1/8" NPT bung into the axle cover. The oil mainly splashes in the area where I installed the temperature sensor and so anytime the vehicle is moving, I would have a temp reading. I had the same in the front, but it would only read when in 4x4.
  17. Spark Plugs - To Anti-Seize or Not

    I use a super light coating of Permatex 80078 on mine: https://www.permatex.com/products/lubricants/anti-seize-lubricants/permatex-anti-seize-lubricant-8-oz/
  18. Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

    A few new "badges of honor" from some places I have visited (virtually) albeit for a few, it's... inconceivable. :LOL:
  19. OEM or Dorman Oil Filter Housing?

    Based upon @roaniecowpony and @vanhalo posts that now show that Stellantis has redesigned the junction between the cooler and the oil filter housing, I would go OEM. The "bridge" that is now between the oil and coolant flow paths and the separate seals versus the old figure 8 seals will go a...
  20. Diff Covers

    There we go--I knew there was at least one that would work with the Dana covers.
