392 problems

[wayoflife]

Oh crap…

I haven’t had any electrical gremlins (yet)…but did develop an oil leak that required a valve cover gasket…

How many miles do you have on yours?

Just north of 4k…almost all of it on a single cross country trip

Okay, damn. Just trying to get an idea of what everyone is at when some of these problems occur.

Little update

called jeep yesterday and they are in the process of trying to get it shipped back to the USA. They can’t get parts for a 392 in Mexico so it’s gotta be brought back. Hopefully it won’t take forever. I’ve thought about going to tow it back myself.

Good luck to you. Hope all works out.

Aren’t those engines built in Mexico?

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope it works out.

Changed again. Now I’m flying back with an alternator on Monday and hopefully that’s all the ground wired fried when it wasn’t connected

Thanks for posting updates on this crazy issue. Reminds me I need to check the grounds on mine!

Hope that’s the ticket…

Just read on Facebook of another one with bad alternator because of ground also. Everyone needs to check it!

By chance did they mention where it wasn't connected?

I don’t speak Spanish so it’s hard to talk to them at all. I’ll get more info soon and let you know

Well I’m heading back to cabo tomorrow with an alternator. They said they still haven’t found the grounding issue but they really won’t look for it because they won’t get payed by jeep for the work even though I told them I would pay and make jeep reimburse me.

Good luck, I hope this will do the trick and allow you to get your 392 home. Please keep us posted on your situation.

I hope so also. Hopefully nothing else was fried in the process and only the alternator was. I’m wanted to get it home in time for the new years run lol.

Good luck man…

Good luck man…

Thanks. I’ll know by mid afternoon if it’s ok or not lol. If not it’s going on a transport back to the USA.

The alternator failed on my son's Powerwagon. It was screaming loudly and was very hot but it didn't damage anything else. Hopefully it didn't on yours.
