  1. Foam under intake manifold

    FWIW, because i found oil in one of the spark plug tubes, i pulled the valve cover to replace tube gaskets and valve cover gasket. I just ended up buying a new valve cover (which had all the gaskets installed) for about $100 more. While i was in there, i replaced the three coil packs, as i was...
  2. Foam under intake manifold

    drove it today without the foam. Could not tell a difference in sound.
  3. Foam under intake manifold

    Haha—I’m good with 2 decibels
  4. Foam under intake manifold

    I just finished putting the intake manifold back in the truck after removing to change spark plugs. I just realized that I forgot to insert this foam piece when I reinstalled the manifold. I’m not particularly excited to pull the manifold back off. Just how important is that foam? Can I get by...
  5. Oil in Spark Plug Tube

    Thank you! I’ll try that. And yes, I drive a lot!
  6. Oil in Spark Plug Tube

    My 2020 Rubicon has 155,000 miles. Thought it was waaaaay past time to replace spark plugs. After living the nightmare of removing the intake manifold, I pulled the first plug. There was some oil on the plug. Does this indicate that the valve cover gasket is leaking? Or something more serious?
  7. Rebuild sheet in glove box?

    I have asked the dealership via text, but haven't heard back. Drove it yesterday. Thinking of buying today, but forgot about it when i was at the dealer (even though i remembered to snap a photo, duh!). I am not a stranger to gladiators -- i have a 2020 rubicon with 149000 miles. Just want to...
  8. Rebuild sheet in glove box?

    I am looking at a new 2024 Mojave. I saw this paper in the glove box, marked “rebuild.” Does anyone know what it means?
  9. Replacing Thermostat on 3.6l

    Thanks -- wasn't sure the JL and JT procedure was the same as the JK procedure. Turns out it was.
  10. Replacing Thermostat on 3.6l

    Has anyone replaced thermostat on the 3.6l? I have a small coolant leak. Dealer thinks it is thermostat. They couldn't get to it today, I need truck over Thanksgiving, so they sold me the part. Can't find many videos of this job online. Has anyone done it? Is it essentially the same as on the...
  11. JT owners post your MPG

    In over 100,000 miles of tracking, i have not found mine to be that accurate. And i have tracked all 110,000 miles except about three tanks of fuel. But exactly what is "accurate" is a matter of opinion.
  12. JT owners post your MPG

    Interestingly enough, I find the correlation between the MPG in the dash and the actual calculated MPG to be less than impressive.
  13. JT owners post your MPG

    I’ve been tracking for over 100,000 miles now. Rubicon.
  14. Front bench seating by installing a jump seat?

    Is it possible to install a jump seat that would effectively convert the front seats into a bench seat so that a smallish human could fit between driver and passenger? I have searched here and the JL forum and not found anything, so i'm wondering if there is some constraint that makes it impossible?
  15. Dash board is feeling festive and lit up like a Christmas tree

    This issue happened to me several times. I finally discovered that it was happening when I had bumped the transfer case shifter, not enough to affect the actual shifting, but apparently enough to affect what the sensor reads. Simply shifting to 4wd and back to 2wd fixed the problem for me.
  16. North Carolina New in Box Ace Upper Decker Bed Cover - $750

    I'm interested. PM Sent.
  17. Weird rub/noise on pull away Rubicon

    It happens on mine too. I'm at 30,000 miles now, and it has either stopped or I don't notice it at all anymore. Will try to pay attention next time I pull away. Oddly, it seemed to only happen the first time I drove it each day. Odd!
  18. Why are off-road teardrop trailers so doggone expensive?

    Sounds like the margins must be super high for manufacturers then? I'm guessing there are not more players jumping in the market to manufacture them because demand is too weak to support a business model with slimmer margins?
  19. Why are off-road teardrop trailers so doggone expensive?

    I've been looking at a few options for camping, including teardrop trailers like Vorsheer XOC. I can't figure out why they are so expensive? It seems crazy that they cost as much as a well equipped car. Am I missing something?
  20. For something completely different -- How is the BT phone call quality?

    I have been pleasantly surprised. I can easily have conversations on phone at 70 mph, and I have had no complaints from the person on the other end.
