Where do I start....?
I have a 2018 Jeep JLUR with 27k miles.
Mods are as follows:
Injen intake with oil filter
TazerJL
17" Dirty Life wheels with Nitto RG 35x12.50x17 (130lb)
EVO Tire Carrier
LOD Signature Sliders
And some other stuff that not important.
I added some weight to the Jeep with the addons and also increased rolling mass by adding heavy wheels and tires.
Over the last month, I have been hearing a slight pinging sound from the engine that is usually hears at low speeds light throttle and low RPM to mid RPM (2000 - 5000). The metal gargling is usually heard when under a load. (Pulling trailer, going up steep hill, or both....etc.)
The first two oil changes I noticed that they documented 6qts of oil on the paperwork and the 3rd was only 5qts. Its my fault for not checking but really I should not have to check behind the dealer. (That is changing from now on). I thought maybe oil pressure or lack of oil pressure may have cause the impropper pressure of oil to maintain the lifter pressure of VVT pressure.
I have notified the service department of the issue the first time and they were not able to replicate the noise. They did not offer any substantial reasons for the noise and said to let them know if I heard it anymore. I asked them to look up any STAR cases and see if they could find anything related and let me know.
Over the weekend following the last oil change, I could still hear the issue so I went back to the service department with the same complaint. After talking with them again, we agreed to replace the PCV and also open a case with FCA.
They ordered the part and have had my Jeep all day today running some test that FCA requested. They contacted me and explained that the did finally hear the clicking/rattling noise and its possible that its the two-stage oil pump or the solenoid. They say that at 3000rpms, the oil pump will engage a gear change and move to a high volume stage. This sound I may be hearing is related to that function.
As of now, they are comparing to a new jeep so they can compare the two.
I will update once I have more information but if anyone else has any input on this, please comment.
TIA
