Good to hear they didnt give you the run around. Did they give you a loaner?

So you're still driving it like that?

Wow, i dont know if thats detonation. If it is, its much worse than what i occasionally hear. What did the dealer say it was? Did you get it resolved?

Idk why they made it so difficult to check and swap the spark plugs on this engine ?

So if the knock sensor senses the vibration and it cannot fix the pinging because it is not a timing issue why is it not setting off a check engine light? The vibration is obviously strong enough to resonate the sound to the transmission because the noise I hear is not from the front of my Jeep...

I'm suprised this issue was never fixed for the 3.6 pentastar engine. It seems like the detonation has been an on going issue for many years if you google the problem. Are owners just accepting the answer that it's normal from the dealership and manual stating it's normal for the engine to ping...

Lol, I think you guys are asking too much. I'm pretty sure there are a few members that would be ecstatic if it just didnt leak.

I'm pretty sure they would want it back, lol. Its $1699 now. Actually it's just the main awning that got damaged, if they replace that its 949 I think. I'll email them tomorrow and see if they give me a partial discount atleast. Shipping this couldnt have been that cheap.

So i finally got my ovs 270 nomadic awning today after 2 months..... do i return it? It has a scratch about 5 inches long in the aluminum.

So obviously it has to do with heat then because it doesnt happen until the oil temp reaches about 180 degrees? So in your opinon, how long do you think the engine will last if it continously detonates like the attached video? Wonder if oil has anything to do with it? I use penzoil, what do...

Same n Def let us know what the dealer says. If he says its normal ask him why it doesnt do it until the engine reaches operating temperature. Im pretty sure yours is also silent with no noise until the oil temp reaches 180 or so. I can understand the detonation at 1500 rpm or under, especially...

Add Money Pit to the survey please

Lol, mines stock, willys MT

Does anyone that has this rattle noise get good gas milelage? I thought I would ask because I cant seem to get good gas milelage. I have a manual transmission and my average mpg is around 14.5 to 15 mpg.

Thanks!

Atleast now you can easily recreate the occurence now. Please keep us updated, please ask them why the knock sensor isnt catching the vibrations.

Thanks, please post here so it may help another member perhaps.

So i got tired of waiting for the dealership to get a replacement shock for my leaking one and purchased rubicon take off shocks. Can i just swap all 4 shocks with the willys shocks? I thougt the rubicon fox shocks were the same as the 2.0 fox shocks for 0 to 1.5inch lift. Im keeping my stock...

So i know nothing about how an engine compression ratio works but i did google if the same engine from the factory can have different compression ratios and it said it can. Is this correct? Maybe our compression ratio is higher than the people that dont have pinging using 87?

What I dont understand is if the engine has detonation, why isnt the knock sensor correcting the issue???? Isnt that what it's for? If you have a bad knock sensor it will set off the check engine light, correct?
