Default New gaskets free of charge per factory lifetime warranty

Took it into dealership for its 5 year check up for the lifetime warranty, dealership saw leaks and the gaskets are being replaced for free. Very nice!

You're one of few owners left that know the pleasure of a lifetime warranty. It would great to have the warranty but the 3.8 has been a pretty solid motor for me so I really can't complain. I'm glad to see someone is taking advantage of that buying incentive.

Any dealer. Gaskets and seals are covered on any covered part.

Last year it was the leaky manifold. As time goes on it's really going to be nice.

The gasket being replaced is the one above the oil pan.

Nice. I have taken advantage of my extended warranty when I bought my JK last year. My lower intake manifold gasket was leaking on my 07. Shop said yep, warranty company said paid. I still had to pay for troubleshooting and fluids, but $120 bill versus $500 something made my day.

I really wish I could have taken advantage of this for my lower intake manifold gasket that was leaking. I missed my 5 year inspection, so I didn't even try. I just went ahead and did it myself. Gaskets weren't expensive but the time taking it apart and putting it together wasn't all that fun.

They discovered a code for the cat converter too. Getting replaced for free. Awesome.

No not fun at all. But that's pretty cool you can take on a challenge like that.
