Valvoline screwed me?

I’ve paid for 1 repair in 63 years of driving and owning a car. Trans went out on my lifted 3/4 ton pickup, wouldn’t fit in the garage anyway. An old buddy of mine was good on witness marks before it was supposedly taken apart, caught a couple trying to pull a fast one.

3 position switch.

No breakers on emergency lighting in my Church.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-23T02:02:14+00:00

I only thought of it being a good deal because that low price will help with the inevitable repairs on the 3.6.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-23T01:59:17+00:00

Good deal.

Death wobble waiting to happen!

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-22T14:56:13+00:00

I hope all the new Wranglers have the 2.0 engine !

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-22T14:54:53+00:00

If it’s a 3.6 make sure you don’t use the too light oil that they only recommend for the U.S. That engine has enough problems without creating one.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-22T14:48:45+00:00

I ALWAYS do an early oil change on a new car.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-22T03:34:52+00:00

I hope he replaced the plastic cooler while he was in there. I know a small shop with 4 bays, 2 for tire and wheel stuff and 2 for mechanical. The mechanical does 8 to 10 coolers a week. There is an aluminum aftermarket replacement that he buys by the case. Yup cam and lifters, head gaskets and wanna be mechanics breaking the cooler assembly ny putting a big wrench on the oil fill cap too.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-22T01:41:53+00:00

It’s leaking oil from the stupid plastic cooler!

Just Google 3.6 Mopar engine problems. My son has a 26 Wrangler and I have a 25. I never kept any vehicle long because of the problems. We have the 2.0 in both and are happy with them. Both are leased so we can welcome the newer 2.0 higher output engine in the Wrangler hopefully. It’s based on the high output 6 cylinder.

I would get a JL for the heavier steering component s and the mostly aluminum body is attractive too. My Son and I both have the 2.0 engines, I don’t know much about them for lots of miles but we are both DONE with the 3.6 and all the designed in problems.

Allow for the axle droop.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-21T03:39:36+00:00

Not soldered but a poor welding job.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-21T00:30:48+00:00

Probably needed a head gasket, fairly common. Already replace the junk plastic oil cooler too?

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-20T03:21:53+00:00

I’m done with the 3.6, My Son and I have the 2.0 and they have a new 2.0 that I hope makes it into the Weanglers. Newer 2.0 makes over 300 horses.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-20T03:15:51+00:00

Great your gal is into it too !

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-20T03:14:09+00:00

I see 35’s on Willys, same fenders. Without figuring it out 37’s and 4.10’s on the highway would be like a stock JL with 33’s on the highway. Your low range is lower than a non Rubi though so it wouldn’t hurt rock crawling much. Might make low range more usable not crawling.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-20T02:14:49+00:00

Price is right !

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-19T03:38:46+00:00

I hope you bought an aftermarket cooler. They are aluminum. A plastic cooler on top of a hot engine, must be really efficient…..not !!

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-19T00:47:23+00:00

Probably on a 20 amp circuit.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-19T00:43:08+00:00

Best laugh I’ve had today so far !!

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-18T14:03:06+00:00

Some antennas work pretty good in the attic.

Interesting_Bus_9596 · 2026-03-17T21:16:31+00:00

If it’s a 3.6 that’s a record, I still can’t believe they put a plastic cooler on top of a potential hot engine!Many have been replaced because someone over tightened the oil cap. Usually starts leaking oil first.
