Call me paranoid but it seemed that as soon as I hit 100 thousand miles on my jku I started having all these problems, in the last 4 weeks I have had a broken axle seal, anti freeze leaks in 3 different places, a broken hub, and now I think my teams cooler might be leaking. Anyone else have a ton of problems all at once like this or do I just have bad luck?

 

It's you, I've got 130k in 5 years and it's been very good to me. I am on top of the maintenance but not 100% like the manual says but it runs well without issues. I haven't had to replace any components outside of a throw out bearing.

 

When it rains, it pours. This goes for jeeps too. Fortunately for me, I'm only at 39k with nothing more than 2 failed idler pulleys. However, I change both differentials, transfer case, and transmission fluid after every water fording or all day excursion, as well as remove all wheels to clean hubs, brakes, steering components. It's worth it...

 

I'm just shy of 100k (96k) and just recently i had my steering go out on me while crawling to the mall. steering box couldn't take the 37's anymore and bit the dust. also a few hundreds miles ago my fuse box broke somehow? but other than that i haven't had much. steering pump went at about 75k. ball joints went a few times around 80k. probably a little more than any other vehicle but then again i do beat on mine a bit.

 

When I hit 96k two months ago my rear differential needed repaired for a leak. Then I blew a wheel bearing a month later. There have been no issues otherwise.

 

I'm in the "things wear out camp" axle seals could have been leaking for a good while, the anti freeze leak in the radiator is a known to be very slow and doesn't drip as it burns off (lower passenger side behind the shroud).. the broken hub that is interesting have not heard that one.. and the trans cooler leaking is new also. Get repaired at a shop you trust and know.
