I was close to my dealer the other day so asked if they would check my 2013 jk for the "ticking heads". I thought my passenger side head was louder than the drivers. They spent an hour with it and said mine was normal injector noise & definitely not the ticking heads. They seen a few of those and replaced them.

Mine is a 2012 and the heads make noise. I just haven't decided if they're making too much noise. It runs great and it doesn't sound broken (like some 3.6 JK's do, with heads that have failed), so I've resolved to wait and see if it gets louder of the the CEL sets.

very limited number of 13s with issues. Mine ticks for the first 10 seconds or so on cold start...which is the norm.
