55K on my 2008. No oil issues (knock on wood!) and a Bank CAI.

Some rust, but nothing that a bit of sandpaper and a can of Rustoleum don't solve!

My 07 Rubi U will be hitting 100,000 miles / 160,000 km this week or next. Intake manifold gasket at about 140k and one exhaust manifold and new ign wires at 155k. Plugs,belt,exhaust and everything else still OE. She's been a pretty good engine so far considering the weight of the vehicle and what I put her through.

I plan on using mine as a dd up to 250k turning in to a trial rig and hopefully Jeep has a diesel by then.
They make diesels in Australia had them for several years now. Problem is the are a Mercedes motor and tend to have electrical issues. Strange they would go with a Mercedes but I guess Chrysler doesn't make a small enough diesel.

I think an inline six cummins would be superb.

131,000 miles (210,000km) here on my 07', just about a dime size rust spot starting in behind my license plate holder, but other than that the engine still runs strong and everything is holding up well. and thats with the rediculous amount of salt that southern ontario feels they need to use in the winters.

32,000 on my 2008!! Just got it a month ago tho and so far have had a leaky roof, fixed. Missing screw in roof arm, fixed. And just today, I went to crank it and nothing! It did eventually start after 2 turns but it happened twice. I'm no mechanic but does that sound like either a battery, alternator or spark plug issue? Or something else..?

Auto? Turn ignition but only a click? Try wiggling the shifter, then turn the key. (Play in the shift interlock)
Or, has bad battery, loose wires.
