I see many posts about pushing the engine (within reason), rather than constantly lugging it at lower RPMs. My experiences are the exact opposite. The engines in my 2020 GC and 2023 JL2Door were far less pushed than the engine in my 2025 JT. An I live in FL, with only a couple trips through GA...

Fully aware. My reply was merely for the statement by someone else that there isn't a camshaft/valvetrain TSB for the Gladiator.

Have you inspected the intake manifold for excessive oil deposit? Maybe the PCV is letting the engine ingest too much vapors from the crank case. (If there is a visible wet film behind the throttle blade, and maybe backside of blade wet from oil, Id inspect/replace the PCV. My 2023 started...

My dealer replaced the RH intake cam on my 2025 JT at 14,800 miles using TSB 09-011-25.

…..and the FL Motel 6 guy is going to be The Great Pretender…….(?)

The smoke on my screen has cleared. I can clearly see what you posted here! Many thanks!

Probably running on a timer. Must’ve been the ticking noise I heard when I opened the page. Oh, wait - the phone is getting hot…..I see smoke now……out here.

Interesting - Thank you for posting.

My 2023 JL developed a faint clunking noise when coasting, around 15k miles. Only could hear it with radio silent. Appeared to be from rearend. By 18k it was more apparent and I stopped at the dealer. Did a test drive with service writer and re wrote me up for an appointment 3 weeks down the...

You're making my point. I don't think the chain driven quad OHC in the 3.6 is necessarily easy on oil. And since to my understanding, the valve train (rollers/follower) are lubed by oil spray (not pressurized oil feed), I will aim at using oil with great shear strength.

While I've never used HPL, I'd venture to say that it is notably more robust than the typical off the shelf 0W30. And yes - I've read nothing but great reviews/opinions about HPL. Strictly comparing oils by their advertised grade can quickly become very convoluted. I've used M1 5W30 Silver...

I vividly remember telling myself that the the 3.6 PUG was redesigned to eliminate the well known valve train issues the first gen 3.6 had........... (I know......that 'hindsight 20/20' thing.......:LOL:) My experiences with the Gen1: 2013 JK - 6 followers replaced @62K (prior to my ownership)...

I always loved the Z3 Coupes! Fantastic car!!

…..now back to the shop, sniffing that lacquer thinner. (The project here just got a coat of primer.)

Ahhhhh……..another Imaginary Photo ;) Thank you for sharing!

Seems like we strain the 4WD system on our Jeeps very similarly………😂 Pulling up to the front gate here is considered ‘off road’ 🤪

Nice Cayman! Still dreaming about owning one.

Agree - Looks adequate for local groceries runs….😅😍 Had to do a double take with that grille you installed - very nice!

Haha - Che/Vette……..Excellent‼️

The smart parental advise - who ever listens to that……???? 🤣
