Hey Benny - any idea what this part is that appears to be leaking? This is the 3.6 gas engine, passenger side right under the oil dip stick. My google guess is a "crankshaft position sensor" ?

That is the variable valve lift solenoid.

Thank you @AllMoparParts.com and @Hootbro
This forum amazes me, hopefully easy to swap the seals out myself.
It should be.
Be sure to clean out the sealing area - ensure no debris or grit to get into the new seal, and as I was taught doing automatic transmission rebuilds decades ago, and do with seals in all sort of other places - a thin wipe of petroleum jelly on the seal will make it go into the recess without binding or rolling the seal. Installing dry can roll seals or o-rings.
Patience - you've got this.

Hey Benny, looking to buy a Brake Controller for my 2025 Gladiator, got a code to order with?
Good question. I need a brake controller, too.

I bought a take-off Rubicon rear bumper, he thinks it was a 2023. I'm looking for a block-off to plug holes wear the park assist sensors go. My 2025 doesn't have park assist.

Hi Tim,
I am sorry but Jeep does not offer these. I would measure the holes and order some generic plugs from Amazon.

This area on the top of my dash is flaking . It’s a 2020. I wish they would make a better product. Any suggestions for a fix ?

That almost looks like it's been touched up before.
NY shouldn't have a problem with UV at all.
Use SEM, not ordinary paint. It's made to expand and contract with vinyl and plastic.

I've had 40 year old car dashes that held up better than that. Can't say I've ever seen one flake - ever. They are usually not painted, but made in the correct color so they don't need a color layer.
