dude just polease tell me the word "slips" was not mentioned in ur bet

 

As a last resort, IF and only IF the dealer still refuses to repair it - I would get a hold of a HEMI swap shop and ask them if they would be interested in swapping it out with another 3.8L they removed from another customer's JK. I imagine it would run about $3k total - engine installed out the door. However, I have seen JK engines for sale for under $1k in my area, so see how much the labor would be and work it out from there. Worse case scenrio, find the engine on craigslist and host an install party. I'm sure we would could get a lot of people to help out.

Keep us posted with results.

 

They need to tell u exactly what's wrong with it. U said a light knock. Could u have gotten some bad gas, did u spin a bearing is it a lifter. Make them show u the problem and definetly fight for warranty replacement if warranted since you have had problems with the engine.

 

Give AEV a call, they have several 3.8's from hemi swaps that want to get rid of. Sure to be cheaper than the cost of a long block. Plus more parts...

Stay strong and get what you deserve... DON'T settle.

 

Put on your uniform, call the news media, and advised them of your situation.


That's what I say.

 

Always be a gentleman 1st. Be professional and organized with your records. If that does not work, get nasty!

Good luck...

 

I agree with get the dealership to take care of it. If that does not work what does your insurance say?

 

I have to say, get it swapped and then work the complaint. SUMMMER is just around the corner and "Tin Cup" pass is waiting fo you. You'll win this case, but by then, you're Jeep will be like CJ today in the garage. Dealerships got thier name "Stealerships" for a real reason..... I do have to admit, the parts folks tend to be the most honest
