Relearn procedures followingan engine swap?

Hey all, Recently finished replacing my 3.8L on my 2011 Rubicon with a Powertrain remanufactured engine. I understand there are relearn procedures for cam/crank sensors, the throttle body, and probably some other things to go through during break-in period, however, I can't find any specific instructions online. Anyone know how I can do that myself, or do I have to limp it over to the dealer for them to do so?

Loud clicking noise coming from rear wheel?

I have a 2008 wrangler 2 door that developed this noise this morning. Im thinking it's coming from the park break drum since I know it's fucked on that side specifically (recently bought haven't gotten to installing it yet). Is this indication as it coming from the parking break drum?

What to look for in a $10k wrangler?

I’m thinking about getting into off-roading but I don’t want to commit $50k for a new Wrangler. If I wanted to pay cash $10k or less for a used one, what should I be looking for ? Anything to avoid ? I’m interested in Rubicon since I assume they have front and rear lockers stock ? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

Shopping for my first Jeep

Previously I posted here and you all helped convince me to buy a Jeep. After searching for quite someone I’ve found a 09 Wrangler X with 60,000 miles… for 12k. A pretty solid deal in my book?

I’m also torn between an 08 Rubicon, manual, 100,000 miles for 11k. Comes with all the fancy upgrades interiorly, and all around looks sooo clean.

I was told to look out for these as they’re rare but a wrangler x with only 60k tops that right?

Super stiff brake pedal, flashing red bolt light

So I have a 2012 wrangler. I just got the brakes replaced rotors and pads as they were really worn. I’m having a super stiff brake pedal but then I get a flashing red bolt light and the pedal acts like it almost releases and is super touchy. Any ideas why this is happening what the fix is? Thanks!

ABS, traction control, and check engine lights turned on; limp mode

Hi all, I have a 2015 Wrangler Sport and while driving home today, my ABS and traction control light turned on, shortly followed by my check engine light. My Jeep soon went into limp mode on the highway. Luckily, I managed to get home (with assistance from the local DOT) but unsure what caused this. The traction control and ABS lights turned off, but the check engine light is still on. Any advice before I call a mechanic? TYIA!

JK Seat Covers?

Any recommendations on JK front seat covers that aren't crazy expensive? Going primarily top/doors off for the duration of the summer. They don't necessarily need to be waterproof, but decently repellent. There are lots of options out there, but figured I'd ask the experts :)

Thanks in advance!

Best top ultra soft top JL problem

Hi! I’m a new jeep wrangler owner and just got a new ultra square back soft top for my 24 JL wrangler. We put it on last Sunday and I didn’t pre stretch the fabric in the sun first and it’s been rainy almost everyday since we put it on. Now when I go to unlatch the front only one hook unlatches and the other one is unable to get the j-hook off the latch?? Has anyone else had similar issues? And how do I fix it so I can enjoy the nice weather. Hoping the fabric just needs to stretch for a couple days 🥲

Oil filter housing replaced now leaking

2012 Jk 3.6.

I have an untraceable slow oil leak. I replaced the original oil filter housing with the Dorman aluminum last summer. I have a small oil leak that seems to drip down onto the exhaust pipe on the passenger side. When I am first driving in the morning, there is a slight amount of smoke that comes up from the passenger side hood, which I assume is from some oil dripping onto it. I haven’t gone in to disassemble anything to really trace the leak. It does end up tracing underneath to the transmission, so it’s somewhere toward the back. I have looked in the little valley right in front of the of the oil filter and there is no oil there. I am not losing a noticeable enough amount of oil to have to add any in between oil changes, so I’m not terribly worried but it’s annoying.

Could this be a failed gasket within the housing? Or a poor installation of the gasket? Or is there some other known common cause I should look into? I’ve read quite a few other posts questioning the rear main seal, but everyone says that’s pretty uncommon, so I’m trying to identify other all other possibilities first.

How many of you put 200 miles at a time in your Wrangler?

Who regularly takes a 3 hour drive in your Wrangler and how is it? If you were doing that drive once a month in that Jeep, how would you feel about that? TJs especially.

Gentleman, repair(able) or replace?

Runing a 2015 jk Rubicon unlimited. Has a lift, therefore the auto sway bar disconnect doesn't function. Not super familiar as this is my first wrangler but, I feel like this came off on the wrong end. My question(s): A) Can I just slip this back on the grommet? B) should I just replace it with a quick disconnect? C) Am I totally overthinking this? D) what failed?

Thanks in advance. I love working on cars and I'm no way intimidated but figured I'd lean on this community for a little guidance.
