Yeah, there has been an uptick of late of new members who never found the board before being JT owners pushing 5+ years and now want us to be FCA's customer service department.

Shovel74, there are numerous reasons head gaskets blow/leak. If you do your best to keep the engine coolant temperature within limits, that helps a lot. If the temperature tends to run higher than it normally does, take the Jeep in to the shop and let a mechanic look at. Additionally, change the coolant when it is recommended. This will ensure no corrosion will accumulate and restrict the coolant flow in passages in the block and heads.
Sometimes an assembly error at the factory happens and it takes a period of time to show up, such as the head gasket problem.
There are so many reasons that can cause this.
Try to stay on the maintenance schedule and monitor the water temperature.
I am not saying this is a common problem, but it‘s not uncommon to happen occasionally.
I wish I could be of more help to you.
Thank you for your question.

LOL - that's almost funny. So an engine should have no problems at over 100,000 miles, no matter what.
How about all of the Ford and GM/Chevy and Toyota and other engines that lose head gaskets, lifters and more.
Seriously, is this your first vehicle? Gotta ask, as I made much of my money fixing engines with head gasket issues, blown water pumps, cracked heads and blocks, spun bearings and more - all under 100,000 miles.

Are we being trolled? This just doesn't seem right that someone has never known an engine to have a small issue at over 100,000 miles- like it's a first ownership, or, whatever.
