Engine light on
It is probably the bad cylinder head that everyone is talking about. I have 40K miles on it. Does the bad cylinder head cover under the drive train 100K warranty? Thanks.

I had one about 90K miles ago and it turned out to be the EGR sensor. As far as everyone having a bad whatever, I have 124K miles and opver six years on my Jeep, including lots and tons of off-road, much of it quite technical, and I've never seen experienced the vast majority of the things that "everyone" else has. I have had my share of broken parts, most of it because it simply wore out, especially with the abuse I put my Jeep through. But, I wouldn't give a plug nickle for troubleshooting based on what problems everyone else is having--at least not until my own analysis suggested it was my own problem as well.

Sorry it was your cylinder head. I had the same worry when my light came on but fortunately I just had a defective gas cap & the dealer put on a new one.
