I would:
Double check your “toe” alignment
Play around with tire psi
Rebalance tires
Make sure all your draglink, tie rod, ball joints and trac bar joints are tight and to spec.
This has happened to me twice. First time I was driving on a curve and felt like my steering locked up for about 2 seconds then came back.
The second time I was driving with my plow and while driving I repositioned the plow blade and had the same loss off power steering feel. The power...
Got the jeep all put back together this morning.
On start up, at first I could hear a pretty good knock. After letting the motor settle in and the oil pressurize the noise subsided and she’s running nice and smooth right now. I drove the jeep for a little bit and just finished an oil change...
I would say that my RPMs stay below 3000 for the majority of the time. I’ve been to Moab, Colorado, Kentucky off-roading but I’m by no means a “hardcore” off-roader. I don’t really haul anything constantly. A boat every now and then but not much.
I am running 35’s (11.50)
Weight is close to...
Well this morning I decided to open up the passenger side valve cover which is the side I thought was making all the noise. I found a worn down intake rocker and a bad lobe on the camshaft.
hopefully this is the only cause for my “ticking”.
I’m going to replace all the intake rockers and...
66,000 at time of ticking. Two dealerships told me it’s a low end noise and the motor needs replacing. $11,200
An independent mechanic thinks it’s valve train %100.
Called the parts dealer and they gave me a different set of part numbers.
5047896AD intake
68245463AA Exhaust
He said they don’t make a kit and he agreed that the price is out of this world at roughly $1200.
anyone have better luck finding a kit online?
Which valve train repair kit should I be buying for my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon.
I found:
5184332AA
5184296AH
$237.06
amazon has the same kit for $117 but in the description it says it’s not for the VVT (variable valve train).
Dealership said it was a “lower engine noise”.
I’d agree that it’s not on the top of the motor and it doesn’t make the noise until I hit about 2500 ramps. Sometimes it’s more noticeable than others.
to me it sounds like an exhaust leak tick or maybe something like an oil pump tick.
I’m...
Got the dealership invoice.
“ Confirmed noise at 2500 rpm’s and up. Noise is not coming from the top of the engine but the lower end”
“Regardless of exact source of noise, it will not be repairable and requires a new motor” $11,200.
I know they don’t fix broken things and only replace parts...
I’m still waiting on a ride to the dealership to get my truck. I’m sure the person behind the counter will have a real detailed explanation for me…. Hopefully a competent mechanic will explain.
As far as the oil goes… it’s never burnt any oil, I’ve always done the oil changes myself (I’ve had...
After 68,000 miles my gladiators engine started having a ticking noise. Sounded more like an exhaust leak to me. I had to wait almost 2 months to get it into the dealership. I got the phone call today from them telling me that the noise is from the bottom end of the engine and I’d need a new...
