i have 17,727. I had the drivers side head replaced a 13,500 cause of the tick and pressure leak

2012 JK Rubicon. 16,000+ miles so far on this Pentastar and running like a champ. Not one issue with the vehicle.

I'm with him. 10,700miles and I swear its getting louder but runs like a champ with no CEL

8950 on my 2013... just got back from a 3000 mile road trip.

Transmission / tcase is noisy, engine seems okay so far.

Probably going to take it in soon because i'm paranoid of the head issues.

On a pentastar? Sure you're not confused and have a pre-2012 JK?

Bought my 12' jk on 4/28/12 and I currently have 15k mine. Engine seems pretty loud but no cel. And about 5k miles ago my radiator had explosive diarrhea and spewed coolant everywhere for no apparent reason

Let me guess. Automatic trans? If so search for my thread auto trans leak 2012 and read why it probably happened.

So far the major coolant leak has been my only issue. No ticks at 10,000 miles.

22,700 on my 12. Had a problem with the oil pump at around 10,00 miles. Replaced under warranty and haven't had a problem since.

At first that's what I thought it was so I had it towed from my work 50miles to my dealer to have them check it and they said it was coolant and that my jeep passed the pressure test. Havent had the pro lem since so who knows. For the auto trans/ power steering lines, I have rubber hoses over.them so they don't rub together now
