So I am wondering if any of you have noticed the following:
The 3.6 Pen has a dry start rattle from factory. I noticed it on my very first start on my new 2026 JL. What I noticed is the fact that it seems to be louder when I park the Jeep nose first in my driveway which is at a slight incline (nose up). However when I park it in reverse (decline, nose down) the rattle is a lot less. Not sure if parking the Jeep at an down angle keeps more oil in the "dry/rattle" area.
I thought I would share this as it does cut down the rattle by about 50%
