Hey does anyone know what causes the head gasket failures? Is it the faulty oil cooler? Radiator split? Under torqued head bolts? I’m trying to see if there’s any preventative maintenance I can do on my 2018- I only have 38k miles on my 3.6 and I’ve heard they fail at 50-75k :/
Hey guys, I filled up my oil with 5qts, then added ceratec on top of that like a not super smart person. Here’s a couple stick pics of the oil level when it’s hot- gets onto the braided line. Would you drain half a qt? Or run it?
I’ve heard the horror stories
I just bought a 2018 sport and I’m in love with it. Trying to take preventative measures to make sure I don’t develop lifter tick or anything involving coolant issues. I already know I have a small leak already- so that begs the question: what can be done preventatively to keep the engine...
I just bought a 2018 JL 3.6, it was a little low on coolant. The coolant looked like it was this color, more pink. I ordered the proper coolant for it which was purple, poured in about 3-4 ounces. I’ve heard that the purple coolant can turn pink over time. Im just worried, since it was used...
Hello. I believe I’m hearing a lifter tick in my 3.6 2022 with 55k miles. Looking for opinions. In addition to that, in early August after an oil change a dealership failed to replace my coolant lid and everything boiled out. The jeep never showed it was overheating. Curious if that is possibly...
Jeeps a 3.6. I had an oil change Friday afternoon. Saturday morning I drove about 30 miles, jeep began smoking from under the hood (white-ish gray, I thought it was gravel dust at first). Pulled over, the coolant cap was left off, completely out of coolant. Ended up driving it up a curb in an...
Hi! I’ve been dealing with a problem with my Wrangler 3.6 for a week now. I replaced the idler pulleys, and to get to them, I had to remove the alternator. First, I disconnected the main battery, then the black cable from the alternator, and continued with the work.
After reconnecting all the...
Hey y'all getting together a bit of a novel here to hopefully get some @JeepCares visibility and also add some volume to the chorus with this particular failure mode we're seeing on the upgraded 3.6 on the JLs and other Jeep platforms.
But first a little bit history:
I love wranglers. My first...
I currently own a 2019 jl sahara with the 3.6, I’m currently looking at purchasing a 24 Willy’s with the 4cyl. Anyone know if my banks pedal monster will work on it? I reached out to the manufacturer but no response

Hello y’all!
I’ve been trying to figure out what could be causing this grinding noise. It’s when I put it in gear and when it’s on drive. Sometimes I don’t hear it.
Attached are 2 videos. any advise is highly appreciated!
Jeep Sahara 2019 3.6
I've been trying to track down a slow coolant leak for the past 2 months, and today I finally saw a spot on the driveway.
It looks like the leak is coming from the radiator. I can see an active drip from the drivers side lower corner of it (image below).
My question is, for a driveway repair...
Of course this happens today, crazy day at work so I haven't investigated deeply yet but if anyone could tell me where you think I should start I would really appreciate it.
2018 JLU 66k miles. I've been smelling coolant when exiting the jeep the last 2 times I've driven but levels look fine on...
Did you know that there is no anti-drain back valve in the upper part of your Pentastar 3.6 engine? After 35 minutes the oil has drained back down into the oil pan and when you start it back up, it take approx 3.5 seconds to get the oil back up to where it needs to go to properly lubricate...
wanted to see what the forum thinks before I take the jeep to my non-mod friendly dealer and they blame it on my headlights lol.
I’ve noticed that after I turn the car on, the radio theme resets (went from 5inch to 8.4 if that matters) and the car won’t really accelerate past 15mph. The car...
Hey all,
I know this is kinda a ridiculous question to ask on a CJDR product based on their track records. I got the all gas 3.6 v6 because it was the most tried and true engine for the Jeep that has proved itself for years with some high mileage examples.
Of course I know they all have their...

Hello,
A few weeks ago I got those two error codes and took it to the dealer yesterday to get it looked at. During the time the codes were on it felt like there has been a slight loss of power, but I am not completely sure. It also seems to idle a bit rougher and sometimes gives a slight knock...
