I just purchased a jlu in late October. Immediately, I noticed that the engine has a knocking sound when it gets up to temperature at idle. I took it back and complained and after putting in a passenger intake cam shaft, phaser, oil selenoid, lifters and rockers, along with the exhaust lifters and rockers, and about a month in the shop, it still is knocking.
They pulled in a new jl and that engine has the same knock sound. I have a open star case with jeep and I asked that they send a field engineer to come listen to it. I am totally expecting them to tell me that this is "normal" and "operating as designed" The dealer told me that I will not get an engineer to come out. I have not heard back from jeep yet. I also had another dealer listen to it and they told me "that it does not sound right and should be looked at." You can hear this knock inside the vehicle with the doors and windows closed. I have not heard of anyone else having this problem so I am asking now, do any of you have a knocking sound at idle? I can't believe this is "normal".The Jeep had around 900 miles when they finally replaced the parts. It has 1200 now.
What say you?
Btw, they had to replace the drag link due to the ball joints were "wore out". Those were on back order, I suppose from so many others having issues.
