    Well Jeep is at 178k now. Still running great. Swapped in a built set of Newer Rubicon axles. I added sleeves, C-Gussets, LCA Skids, 5.38 gears and Balljoint deletes. Jeep as a Tick at cold start ups for a few seconds. But other then that, runs good. Been running 10w-30 Synthetic HM. Still...

    Bars Aluminum Stop leak with G05 Coolant. Safe?

    I just looked it up. Ya the pump looks easy, but I don't think thats whats leaking now. After looking it up. I've noticed a small pool of water behind the timing chain cover just below the Alternator. I thought that the timing chain cover and water pump was all in one. Not sure where the leak is...

    From the way this Jeeps been maintain and the fact it has brand new Diff Covers on it. The Gear oil is pretty fresh. As for the Dana30. Not much I can do with that right now. I have a Balljoint Delete system coming. And I will add Trusses. Other then that. It's going to stay open with stock...

    It's been about 2 days (60miles) after Changing the PCV valve and going to ST 5w-30 HM with Blue Devil Sealer. The leak as slowed way down. Didn't drip on the ground yesterday. I could see a tiny bit on the housing.

    I hear ya there. Not going to dump much money into the D30. Trusses and ball joint delete is all its getting. The rear 44 locked will still make it a decent on the trails. If I get lucky and score a Jk 44 front. I switch. If not D60's will go in.

    No Notice of Burning oil yet. I Changed out my PCV valve and changed my oil to 5w-30 Full Synthetic HM with a Fram Ultra Filter and added the Blue Devil Rear Main Sealer. I wiped everything down real good to see how it does. It's raining here now, so I can't see the oil drops very well. Going to...

    From what I've read I get mixed results. I guess when the 3.8L came out it took 10w-30 and as time went. Dodge kept changing the oil from 10w-30 to 5w-30 and now since 2007 they put 5w-20. Guys have bought Mopar Crate 3.8L's and the Oil caps say 10w-30 on many of them. I also thought with the...

    I just bought a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the 3.8L 4spd Auto. It has 160k miles on it and a very small rear main leak. Jeep runs smooth. I have non the service records. I believe I'm the 3rd owner of it. the 2nd owner only had it a 1yr and put 1000k miles on it. He changed the oil and...
