Did my first oil change after the 6 free ones. Pretty straightforward. And a tire rotation.

My JL did the exact same thing right after I changed both FOB batteries. I did take t to the dealer and they couldn’t figure it out. Unfortunately it ended up just stopping doing that on its own so I was never able to figure out what was causing it. Maybe it’s something to do with the door...

I hear ya. I felt the same way, and kinda noticed I was getting short with the girl behind the counter as I talked to her. But I caught myself. It’s not her fault. Nor is it her fault I put on almost 70k in the first year. Also, I don’t like it when people don’t follow up after to find out what...

For anyone looking in the future if this comes up, here is the 3.0 diesel starter part number.

That sucks. This is exactly what I fear. Going back for the same damn thing over and over. It looks like it’s silicone there at the joint. I’ve done my fair share of timing covers on 5.4 fords, so I know I can easily do this one. I’m at 67,000kms so I have a bit left on warranty to get it...

My battery replacement was extremely straight forward. Remove old, aux is right underneath on the diesel, take that out and replace. The company I work for gets a discount at the battery place, so the replacement main battery was 100 bucks, and the aux battery was sitting in his shelf for a bit...

Good morning. So a final update. Picked up the truck yesterday. 1400 dollars later. Around 800 for the starter, and almost 500 in labour plus taxes. Starts every time!! :LOL: It definitely starts faster. Like it turns over faster. Either the new batteries or the new starter itself, or a...

Sorry boys and girls. Picking it up didn’t happen. The truck I was going to use doesn’t have a brake controller or the 7 pin harness. Which I didn’t know. Well shit. I’ll admit defeat this time. I called the dealer and said screw it, you change it. So they are trying to do better on the starter...

Another small update. I went to the dealer and paid my diagnostic bill. 213 bucks. I went outside with my tools and turned over the motor. It turns over both ways no problem. So there is no issue there. Tried starting it quite a few times and all the starter does is click. So it’s either seized...

I had asked the dealer that. She said it was a bit low. Which I knew it would be as I’m 4000km from my next change. But don’t know if she smelt it or what. I planned to do that when I went to pick it up. They were going to do an oil change on it but I told them to hold off. She also said I...

My reply read like I was coming off snarky. Sorry about that. Wasn’t intended that way!! 👍

Yeah. I’ve had superduty diesels since 2000. Then to an F150 then this one. And I run EDT in my gladiator, and 911 antigel when I don’t have the EDT. This was not a case of gelling. Has nothing to do with fuel. This was purely mechanical. Starter or otherwise.

Going to go pick it up Saturday with a car hauler. But my daughter has a hockey tournament just past where it’s at on Friday so I’m going to go try start it Friday and if it does start I’ll drive it straight home into my garage. It’s about 2 hours from where I live. Then I can diagnose myself...

Who knows. But she did say that they have a freezing up problem in the wagoneers. Plus it was only -3 Celsius when it happened again.

Temps up here when it wouldn’t start the first time were -32ish. And it was plugged in. Her first attempt at trying to start it was after it was sitting in the shop overnight. Started right up no problem. Temps when she went to start it outside were about -3. Although that’s trying to start it...

So a little update. On my way out west to watch my son play hockey, I stopped in at the dealership cause they hadn’t called me back at all. I asked the service advisor and she goes to the back and brings the tech out to talk to me. The tech says there’s nothing wrong. They towed into the shop...

I’ve also been looking for over a year. Originally I was looking for 2 of them. One for my JT and one for the wife’s JLU. I’m up in Canada, and haven’t come across one yet!!

And….she’s off. Hopefully back soon. What an ordeal to deal with the roadside assistance. I got the states version and we had a lot of trouble to find addresses and even the VIN number. Said I would have to pay the full tow of 900 then try get reimbursed! She finally realized I was in Canada...

I’m starting to be in the same boat. I’m reluctant to take it to a dealer when I can easily do it myself. Pretty sad isn’t it.

What’s your zip? I’ll check on shipping.
