I read a few pages back that Lima has 3 production lines...noted just after the Julian date. Mine is 200....but I forget what the other 2 areI thought some one said the a and ab were the lines the engine was built on maybe not sure

depends what the failure rate is.I sure hope they do the right thing. Seems like it would save them money in the long run. Could they just replace the valves in our existing engines?
? what, the boots ? nah, had these couple decades now, same boot in photo, but these only for special occasionsSo they gave you your avatar?
Well Iām 9 days later and have 2900 miles on it.Or just one of the first ones of the newer batches to get some mileage on itā¦
Yes. Cold start up, during higher idle, also sounds like its spitting/sputtering misfiring and the rpms dont vary much. Once the rpms knock down it goes away.Anyone elseās 2.7 have a strange rattle sound on a cold start up?
Itās not ticking yetā¦ but the rattling is pretty loud. But goes away after it warms up.
There is a thread on low coolant at delivery :Monitor carefully, when one has a head crack, warped head of bad head gasket, coolant goes into the combustion chamber and out the tailpipe. You're the second person to post a level like that, unless it was you that posted before.
Found this on older Ford engines. Maybe it the same coding. AA= 27th version and AB = 28th :The difference-AA to -AB is just unknown.
Stay chill as we are no different but just have a new data point
Most of the engine fails seem to be happening around half that number. So 5K is an arbitrary number that is basically double the normal failure mileage.This is a really helpful chart - thanks! But doesn't this mythical 5k miles threshold assume a lot? I'm kinda lost why mileage is used (given the fact that engine and part stress could be completely different from one person's 5k miles to another) as opposed to, say, engine hours, total revolutions, average RPM, etc.
Unless we are just picking it as a correlated point of data that we can easily measure, then that I get.
On a different thread I was talking to someone who had gotten a 22 But I asked them to post an image of their engine. I don't remember the exact date the engine was built but it was sometime in December.If they changed the suffix they likely changed something, and the -AB supercedes
EDIT: If anyone has taken delivery of a 22 w/2.7 could they check their tag part # and julian date? or just post a pic here?
Check the air pressure in the tires. The tires are always way over inflated and makes for a terrible ride.I have a P.O.S. Jeep gladiator as a loaner. Rides like shit.. Miss my Bronco
This! My Gladiator rides fine. Itās never going to ride as nice as the bronco with a solid front axle (so Iāve read anyway), but mine rides comfortably. When I first got my new tires I couldnāt believe how badly it rode. Then I checked the air pressure! Set it to 36 or so- vastly improved.Check the air pressure in the tires.

Yeah test drove a few Wranglers, including a gladiator a while back, and man it was a rough ride. But they pumped the tires up like 39 plus or something ridiculous.This! My Gladiator rides fine.
