3.6 pentastar as bad as it seems ???

That doesn't sound right to me, my half ton doesn't even weigh that much. The GVWR of the rubicon is only 6250 so subtract about 1000 or more off of that to estimate curb weight.
Yeah I think you are right. I know it classifies for the commercial tax break, so maybe that is gvwr, and I believe he had to order it a specific way to reach that.
 
I didn't check all the posts here so ?

Go to youtube and find Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics, 11 days ago, Just empty every pocket 19 Rubicon pentastar disaster.
Most all lobes wiped out on one of the intake cams, and the part is way out on back order for four months and he would be number 12000 or so the waiting list. There ya go for all the penti fans here.
I guess anyone with this issue should buy a welder and some good grinding wheels, oh and use the hard surface rod like they do on heavy equipment bucket teeth, maybe that will last. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I will say I'm impressed with how my JL on 37s handles our little water trailer, and I'm still running factory 4.10s.

I've got two half tons and a one ton but it's just more fun to get water w the Jeep.

Figure 275 gal water is ~3k plus the 6x10 Snowbear "motorcycle" trailer which I've reinforced is probably at least 800#?

Other than the Pentastar's willingness to get close to redline every time, you don't really know it's there.
