[scjeep]

hey guys this is my 1st jeep and will like it to last.. she seems fine but now what should i look/check up on ?? ps one time she put up a miss fire code but it went away..oh and the is an tick .but have seen online that almost every 3.7 makes a ticking sound

Im at 115k and nothing major is going wrong. Need to do the water pump and passenger hub bearing. Everything else is fine. Just make sure you keep up with oil changes and all the preventive maintenance. Im sure someone here can give you the dealer maintenance schedule. Mine also ticks on a cold start but goes away after few min. Was thinking of installing an oil catch can to prevent dry starts but that subjects for another thread lol.

All maintenance schedules are in the back of your owners manual.

Almost every used car i have bought had no manual. Its like finding the holy grail in your glove box haha

KJ's have that super-secret spot just above the glove box where the manual is hidden.

The cold start tick is really unnerving and dumb for a modern engine design. One of these days I need to find out where it's coming from.

I'm at 121k. no major issues. I also have the 3.7l "TICK" no idea what it is.

Are you guys referring to the tick made by the AC compressor pulley? Or something entirely different?

My AC compressor ticks... that's the only thing.

Not sure...on ours if I rev the engine a little after 30 seconds from initial start the tick tends to go away. And it doesn't matter a whole lot if it's cold or hot outside so was thinking oil sump because of where the sound seems to be originating. Need to check it out more closely. But so far doesn't seem to bother it.

This is the most honest thing I have read all morning
