  1. New Jeep Owner! Low coolant?

    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...
  2. Engine coolant?

    I was checking the fluids on this 2025 jlu wrangler rubicon I recently purchased and noticed that this black reservoir with black cap right next to the clear reservoir one might be a little low on fluid.

  5. Looking for information on MOPAR vs. after-market Auxilliary Coolant Pump

    Bought a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited with the 2.0L i4 turbo engine. About a year ago the Auxilliary Coolant Pump died and, at the time, there was no MOPAR part available to replace it. Everything was back-ordered for months, and the Jeep just had to sit there until a pump could be put...

    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).

  20. 2023 Rubicon Coolant Leak Behind Left Wheel Well

    Hi All, I was putting in a air compressor behind the left wheel well. I took some photos and I noticed later on when looking at the photos, the coolant line has some pink residue on it. Is this a cause for concern? Probably should bring it to the dealer to look at, right?
