Hello all.

When I am going up a hill and take my foot of the pedal, sometimes my jeep sounds like a diesel. Anyone knows what is going on?

My guess is exhaust leak. But frankly the sound almost sounds like a bad BOV also*( i know yours is not a turbo). So i'm guessing the only time u hear it is when ur in gear ... u could try sticking it neutral before u lift of the pedal and if theres a difference maybe it could be something with the exhaust

Hello all. Here is my latest update. Dealer said that it is the gas I used. They put that in writing. I have been using Shell for the last couple of months and still the same noise. No change.

Taking it to another dealer. I do have a new video with the sound.

I have the same sound noted in this latest video. Dod you figure anything out? Mine started a few months back and is primarily in 1,2, or 3rd gear and when the rpm’s are low. 95k miles here, so no warranty. Usually use Costco gas 87 octane, but have used other brands with no change.
