my '19 (bought during COVID) has around 30k miles (I have a lot of cars), stock, automatic tranny, 2.0L, recent trip gauge had over 3k miles with an average mpg of just under 19. But that includes all driving off an on road. I like the better torque; also have the 3.6L in another Jeep. My...

Thanks fellas ... yeah, I already have them, but haven't put them on yet. I'll see if I can swap them out where I bought them.

Hello group, '19 JL Rubicon, 2.0L with ARB single tank compressor mounted with the Wayalife mounting bracket (driver's side firewall) Anyone have any luck with a metal liner and the Falcon 3.3 shocks? Ace & Nemesis seem to work with the shocks, but both look like they won't work with the...

Shit … that is horrible!

Oh yea, wet dog smell line! Love it

I tried to think of how to do this with a bmw … didn’t feel like pulling fuel pump fuses, … hope it didn’t do much damage!

Apparently 3/8" extractor socket works on M6 bolts. thanks to my new best friend who lead me to the replaceable part! traveling a lot lately, will post a picture of the last remaining stud that remained. Pulled that out too, even though it wasn't broken. Glad I removed it! More later, be...

Finally got those studs out! The engine was completely drained of any oil …realized I had a small oil leak (rear seal perhaps), so added some Lucas Oil Leak stuff … hated to hear the car start … but the metal on dry metal noise only lasted a couple seconds! Doh!

The world has turned upside down. Complete shit show!

Yeah, I figured I'd need heat. Being the bottom of an oil pan attached to a car precludes open flames (still like the car); but I like the solder iron idea!

Hit it with Kroil this afternoon … will let it sit for awhile. Will report back.

Busy day. found the parts, but the studs won’t separate from the oil pan. actually leaving for a few weeks, garage is a mess, smells like a giant oil spill. had to order a M6 extractor … ugh. Wish me luck I don’t shear the 1/4 inch stud remaining!

PB Blaster & a vice grip ... should do the trick. I think there is enough of the studs to get a grip on. Now, if the local BMW dealership has the part!
