With the hood open, is it more audible from the top or bottom of the engine?

 

[Renegade]

To me it sounds like it’s coming from the bottom.

I would take it in for the dealer to (attempt to) diagnose. Bottom end knocks are not a good thing usually.

Videos from phones and played through a computer - so inaccurate. The sound recording capability of a phone sucks, and computer playback after the video is compressed, it never sounds the same.
It sounds like a "tick" like a rocker noise in some ways on this laptop with Bang & Olufsen sound.
Remember, sounds can resonate through the block. I've seen rod bearing sounds appear to come from the timing cover area of Chevy small block V8s. Sound travels, it echoes, so be careful.

The goofy thing is that I've also heard belts make a "snap" sound............
My GUESS is rocker, valve train. On a computer it sounds too "high pitched" to be the lower end.
Also wrong for piston slap.

Put it in gear, hold the brake, give it some gas. Does the noise change? A Rod would be put under load and the sound should disappear.
See what you need to do to make it change.
Put it in gear, brakes held, let it idle.
Give it gas, what happens.
Rev and let loose of the gas - does it make the sound during acceleration but not during decel, or the opposite?

Anything done via a phone made video is pure guesswork, speculation, maybe educated guesses.
Engine noises should always be seen as "possibly damaging" and time not wasted getting internet opinions.
Go to a dealer - like already said.

Why are you upset. They are replacing the engine. It was probably a manufacturing defect. You should be very happy the dealer and FCA were so responsive. jmho

Not sure how to feel honestly. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate that they are fixing the issue I just have mixed feelings about a dealership replacing an entire engine on a new truck, kinda leaves me wondering ok, at 4K an engine…what’s next?

I can understand that thought process. But, most companies I have dealt with would deny responsibility forever. I am impressed that FCA would be so reasonable and proactive. Give it a chance and see what happens.

S### happens new engine fresh start over. I'd be happy with it especially on how fast the response from dealership and FCA went.
I've seen a situation where major manufacturer of machine gun barrels has passed though all the QAQC checks but wasn't rifled that was on a larger order than a vehicle engine out of thousands.

Had my motor replaced at 4300 miles for a ticking noise.It took a month to get it back but was at a really small dealership.Lead tech was out on quarrentene for awhile etc etc.New motor runs excellent and crysler gave me a 6yr max care warranty for free.If u love the Jeep hang in there poon.

 

[Captain Muskie]

I forgot to mention it happend last Aug-Sep.abot 5k miles on new motor now

 

[JeepCares]

So I took my truck in on Monday, they called me earlier today and said they were able to reproduce the noise 2 days in a row and that they are not sure what the issue is. They opened up a case with FCA who then said that it will be more expensive to take the engine apart than it will be to replace the entire thing. New engine gets here Friday and they stated they will have it ready to roll by Wednesday/Thursday.

I’m not sure what to think here…? One part of me thinks “cool, brand new engine” other part is like “wait this has 4,500 miles on it, whats next!?”

I wasn’t given any options just told that they were swapping out the engine @JeepCares any input here?

I'm happy to hear they were able to figure out a repair route, calipoontappa. Unfortunately, I am not a trained technician so I cannot provide insight on an engine swap. That said, if you would like any assistance from a specialist to ensure a smooth repair process, please let us know.
