2015 JK advice
Bare with me while I try to explain all this, and keep in mind Im pretty handy and can do most of my own work. So 2015 JKU.. original engine needed replacing because I hit 60 in 1st gear (my sons backpack hit my shifter when i was dropping him off) tick tick BOOM. Got a Jasper engine (I know.. big mistake) Back in January.. off the bat P60DD, and coolant hoses blowing off with a tick under light load. Over the past 8 months, new hoses, new thermostat, new rad cap, new oil pump/solenoid, but the tick remained. New engine number 2 installed a week ago. P06DD code came back and gasket issues. New gasket installed, another new oil pump/solenoid, P06DD still freaking there. So whats next? New engine only a week old, technically 2nd oil pump/solenoid. I will say the first engine the oil pressure was super low, like I would be driving and it would be in the 20s or low 30s. Right now it is consistently in the 40s sometimes low 50s. When I first started it shoots up to 90 but after I get 100 yards down the road it immediately drops to the 40s and then the code pops up within 10 seconds. With my old engine it was a little bit different. I feel like it's electrical and I can't imagine that new engine has oil leaking where it shouldn't. I'm thinking about calling Jasper and telling them I want OEM parts, and I'm thinking about replacing the pump, the solenoid, and the oil pressure switch all at the same time. It has new oil and a new filter. I can't imagine it would be anything else, but this is some of the worst luck ever. Thoughts?
