any body updated this pole lately? my manifold is cracked with 1600 miles left on the warranty.
Just curious.

 

I just purchased a used (49K miles) 2007 Sahara Unlimited. First morning after I bought it, the tell-tale ticking was there, then gone after a few minutes. It was bought as a certified used, so has a 3mo/3K mile all-inclusive and an 8 year/80K mile powertrain warranty.

I described the sound, and my "probable cause". Since I bought the rig at a different dealership, I expected some run around, but they called me today and said "parts on order, left manifold, no charge under warranty".

I am pleased. I was hoping these guys would remember that I have bought other rigs through them and always given them first shot. Maybe they did, or maybe it is still income to them so they don't care.

Now....hopefully Chrysler doesn't go bankrupt while I own this thing....

 

I left it at the dealer now, they know it's cracked, but want to see/hear it from a cold start.

 

My left manifold is cracked and being fixed under warranty.
They also said to clean the throttle body at my mileage.
I have 34600 miles on it.
They said it can cause the engine to misfire and run rough or stall which it has started to do a couple of times.

 

It sure is hard to inspect with those heat shields in the way!

 

Mine make the tick tick tick upon cold start up then goies away once warm...I have 59,000kms....am sure it is the same problem as everyone else...will go to the dealership this week...I have 5 year bumper to Bumper warranty on my Jk.....just another issue to get fixed....but I love my rig anyway

 

I am officially going to join the list! I am getting the cold start tick tick tick sound until the engine warms and expands enough to plug the crack up. I am taking to the dealership sometime next week to get it covered.

 

Mine also has a ticking when it is cold. I've also noticed that when I warm it up it starting to leak fumes into the interior. Mine is an 07 with 39k out of warranty.Any suggestions?

 

That's the same thing that happend to me, one side at a time.
Twice as long to fix it.

 

Well...i voted no, but now after reading this post, I think mine may be cracked.

I get a VERY faint ticking sound that is worse when cold, but present even when warm, just not enough to cosider a problem. The sound is from under the hood.

I have also had the cracked TJ manifold...replaced with a Banks header...that cracked 2 months later and was replaced under warranty.

Is this faint ticking i hear consistent with the manifold crack? It was not there when the Jeep was new. I'm at 10k miles now.
