Ok so here's the deal. My 2012 JKU now has 123,418 miles on it. I have been reading and reading with google searches and searching the forum here. I find plenty of info on the "warranty" Chrysler put out for the 3.6L Engines. I have read through countless members here and elsewhere reporting the dreadful "ticking" noise.
Well mine has it now! I know right shocker.....well it does have 123k miles on it so trade it in, yeh yeh yeh. Ok seriously. I love my JKU and so does the family. With our first kid turning 4months old and wife now being a stay at home mom, money doesn't grown in the proverbial tree, at least not in my yard.
So I took the Jeep to the dealer after mug reading. I read that the warranty was extended to 150,000 miles. Phew I rushed over to the dealer and talked with my service rep there. So he walks out and hears the noise. Shakes his head and says "yep that's the same issue we've heard from many others". So he puts the scanner on the Jeep and I'm thinking phew just made it and good he said what he said. Next he says "well it's not showing any codes though so it's ok"!?!?! WTF After some discussion he basically tells me that there's nothing they can do unless the engine is showing codes!?!
Ok so here's the point to this thread. If the engine won't show codes, the dealership hears and knows the problem but WONT do anything until codes show up. THEN I see only one logical solution. Make this thing misfire and throw the damn code!!
1) I know it needs to be banks 2,4 or 6, from everything I've read.
2) How do you make it throw the damn codes?
- I have spent this entire evening taking the engine apart and disconnecting things left and right (ok just left driver side, but you know what I mean).
I cannot get the "needed" P0303 code or multiple misfire codes!!!
With the way I drive for work I'll be past the "warranty" period by the end of this year more than likely. So anyone with some engine insight, anyone who has faced this problem and prevailed. Anyone here that can lend some help it's much appreciated. Annnnnd lets get this outta the way now.....I've had some drinks and no I don't want CHIPS......well maybe after but just this info first...lol
