Engine ticking noise
Hi there,
I have a '05 unlimited TJ with 79000 km's on it with a six speed manual. I've noticed that when she starts up (particularly in colder temps) there is a ticking coming from the motor. I replaced the belt thinking that was the issue but it still ticks. Next oil change I used on of those "engine clearer" systems that didn't help either. I use nothing but sythetic oil... any thoughts??

I have the same ticking, but i have a 2001 with 200,000km's. Goes away after 5 mins once the engine warms up. Ive heard from other people its a common thing for jeeps. Not sure what its from.

Re: Engine ticking noise
1. Use a quality oil filter with a reliable filtration media and quality anti-drainback valve (No FRAM, MotoMaster, STP, quick lube no-names, etc)
2. Experiment with quality oil, keep the startup viscosity low (eg 5W-whatever)
3. If it's a 4.0, its probably your lifters
4. Keep up with oil changes and drive for 500,000 KM
