Re: 4.0 Problems and found solutions
sorry post is acting up on the other screen so I am starting a new post...
anyway....
Personally my Cam Sync recently started going out (the op drive gear is another story) and started making a churp noise that was extremely difficult to diagnose. If I could go back to 30K (or newer, 35K is where I think I started to notice problems) mileage I would have changed my oil pump to the Hesco unit and being mine is an 03 I am willing to bet it would be good to go to this day (not to mention years to come). Because I didn't diagnose that cam issue early on I ended up dumping money in here and there and now could have a nice sum to put down on a Hemi (thinking every time my engine would get better and I could keep all my extras like the OBA). It would have been nice for Jeep or one of the shops I frequent to have known about the issue and helped me through it from the start of notice but instead I learned the hard/expensive way.
I could keep going and may as this thread progresses but don't want to lose site of the threads point on prevention. So if anyone can help out with either their experiences or knowledge please chime in.
Thanks
