I I posted earlier that I almost hydro locked the motor and was getting a clicking noise. Took it to jeep to get it looked at and they said i prob cracked the cylinder and the housing and ect. They want to to do a full block repair. 7 grand. Any ideas

 

Sounds like its time for the Hemi upgrade I know Im kidding!!! That really sucks!

 

7 grand is definately enough for a hemi upgrade. Im assuming that if they want that much then you arent covered by a warranty?

 

There's stock low-milage JK engines for sale leftover from Hemi installs. Try the local Jeep places first before searching further afield. River Raider probably a good call as they would install it also if u need.

 

Hemi installs are $15-20k. At least 7+ for the engine and transmission, 3 for the wiring harness and parts, and rest for the labor etc.

 

oh man I'm so sorry to hear, that's terrible. Good luck finding an engine.

 

Tell them you want to see the jeep service rep. If you still have a warranty it should be covered.

 

Either find another motor from a wrecked jeep or someone who swapped the Hemi, or just do the Hemi. If you're mechanically convident it can be done for under 10g's. Ill take that upgrade for a few dollars more all day.

sorry to hear this happened though. If nothing else your insurance should cover it.

 

They said no warranty because of hydro lock

 

Also If you guys here anything about motor deals let me know
