I'm so disappointed in the 3.8L engine in my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X. I serviced the Jeep regularly, always got the recommended maintenance, and babied it. Low and behold it starts making an awful engine noise less than 500 miles after I had it serviced. One of the rods is blown and the entire engine needs to be replaced to the tune of $6000-8000! Since it has 120,000, the shop recommended replacing additional components while the engine was out (hence the reason for the high cost). I'm still unsure of what to do, but I most likely will be sending her down the road. Why, Jeep, why?! Why replace an all-star engine that was in the TJ's with an engine built for a MINIVAN!
