I'm still of the opinion it needed a good rinsing and an alternator only, at least initially. Killed an alternator or 2 in other vehicles in the mud. The 2.0t alternator is over priced, but it should still have cost no more than $1k vs what you were taken for.

Does anyone know if they make a rebuild kit for these alternators?? I know I can get rebuild kits for my
2006 Dodge for about $35. Even the 2010 ones are under $30.
It might be something to have on hand, when the time comes.

After a minute of searching, the parts for a 2018-2020 JL 3.6 180 amp alt rebuild kit is $138, if items are
Bought separately. Rebuilt alternators are $259 on one site.
This site has kits for the 2.0 and 6.4 liter wranglers too.

I'm sorry you are going through this ordeal. It will be hard to tell you what you need to do because you said the Jeep is your wife's daily driver. But, I would park it for a week and slowly continue to inspect and clean. You are probably going to find some more stuff that needs addressing.

One more reason I take my yearly camping trip to the Ga. mountains during Jeeptoberfest.

Horrible story just time for Halloween. Silver lining is hard to see but everyone walked away. Painful and expensive lesson. No reason as in never Full Send even when depth, type and kind of mud(sand). These and other ATV ORVs are not equipment with the Floatation Tires of 50yrs ago. Slow steady plowing is taught today. Our Wranglers have the worst deflection design and this allowed the moisture to find its way to one of the EMs that resulted in a cascade event. The Stealership targeted you IMHO. If you can ask for the list of faults before and after charging system. What excuse did they use for a new starter?
Remember Mall Crawlers pay a lot to look pretty we pay a lot to get dirty and look Sexy. Sexy ain’t cheap.

Damn they screwed you on that price. That’s crazy expensive.

Send it! NOOOOOOOOO!

Aw, why'd you gut your own thread?

Crank seal.

My crank seal started leaking about a month after my ordeal in the mud. Mine was still within warranty and the dealer covered it. If your's is still under warranty maybe take it to a different dealer.
