Am I missing something here?

Yes

Nothing important. But since you removed it you already knew that.

Nope, the engine has all the components outside of the plastic engine cover and its mounting brackets.

That is the right side head and exhaust manifold.

I think the large hole is factory plugged... though the two adjacent bosses have a clean look to their threads. It's untouched but wondered about it, since I am a green horn on Pentastar engine variations.

I was looking at it wrong. I thought you removed the secondary battery box

If you get underneath your Jeep, and you look at the back end of the transmission and at your transfer case as well, it has very similar looking points of entry that have been plugged up with similar looking bolts.

Mine's an EcoDiesel, but basically the same look. So that being said, looks about right to me. Don't seem like anything's missing there.

Thanks! Must be areas that are machined on a jig to get close tollerances for oiling passage ways. Oiling is exteme on the V6.

So am I crazy or did you remove the secondary battery box and battery? Maybe just the angle of the pic.

That was done with the Aux battery box removed, while I was removing left ovet aux battery cabling and the relay control to switch from charge mode to backup power mode during stop start.

All wires cleaned up as if never existed. Minus N3 connection, Though I do have the N1 to N2 jumper in place.

Just waiting on my winch delivery and a custom 12" 0/1 battery cable to my Bear contactor solenoid.

Going to use chassis ground to the bumper and winch plate to limit the length of voltage path and make it look like a single wire hook up.

If anyone uses the two cables that comes with the winch kit, the length of two cables combined limits maximum current. You want a minimum voltage drop across the cables to allow the winch to operate without strain. A slower motor speed by a path through 2 cables, will draw more current and create more heat than it should, while in comparison to a direct path within the voltage / current loop.

Ok I feel a little less crazy
