Always check the car flaps

[Jeep Wick]

I went down the rabbit hole again of looking for a used XR with the SOT. Some great deals out there... Until you check the Carfax. Camshafts and rockers at 13k? Crankshaft seals at 50k? Are these factory defects? Mine has been trouble free in the same time frame. *knocks on wood*

Those damn car flaps always screwing you over.

I automatically got the OEM mudflap girl mudflaps package with my Jeep. I just assumed it was part of the whole XR upgrade.

my bet caused by owner who never did an oil change. Avoid. Most services like carfax pretty good at finding vin related stuff like oil changes. One reason I almost, almost, bought a 4000 mile 392, but didn't. Pro tip, never bring spouse to car dealer for test drive.

That particular one had oil changes at 7k and 10k, then the rockers and cams done at 13k. I do have to wonder if the dealer screwed up the oil changes somehow.

I'm not OP and also have no idea what is going on.

No, rockers still good despite flaps

I say things that nobody else thinks are funny because I’m trying to act like i know what’s going on,

Nah, there's a TSB for defective rockers. Known issue.
