I missed this reply for some reason.
Itās a legitimate concern. I sent them an email to see if Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) or Oat-resistant polymers were used on the inner liner to drastically reduce this, supposedly.
Maybe something changed on the Jeep. Iirc, these mount up by or in the motor mounts right? Some angles may have changed up there. Iād look but I donāt have that Jeep anymore. My 19 4dr 2.0 was pretty straight forward.
Itās been so long I canāt remember the name of the business that was offering these bodies back then. I might be off on the price too but it was up there.
Didnāt know that. Must be good. All Iāve used the last 30 years before was off-the-shelf Permatex Right Stuff. Itās pretty good for stubborn leak areas, always worked for me but it didnāt test as well as that one.
Farm Project on YT tested some. The factory Mopar RTV tested best. Itās called Three Bond but not in the packaging or in the parts catalogs from what Iāve seen. Thatās what Iāve ordered and received for my 3.6.
Pretty cool separator there. You made it?
Prepping to put the new head studs and heads on the 3.6, I was a little concerned about not messing up this great cylinder head deck surface after BES Racing did a .003ā cleanup pass on them. 12.5 RA finish!
It can be a little difficult to lean over the fenders, look down the head bolt holes...
They still call them weatherpacks these days? Anyway, yeah I pressure wash but stay a few feet away and havenāt had issues. Same for the radiator, gotta be careful with the fins there.
If you think itāll help, especially if you go though mud, pieces of dead leaves, etc itās not a bad idea to...

I assume thereās a current discount code somewhere. I usually see it on a banner somewhere in the site.
Iām not clicking it.
In case someone comes across thisā¦
Alldata DIY is legit and only $20 for a month for access to factory service manuals. I got 3 years for just over $100 last year during a special, which they run frequently.
19 had the issue. Was better with the cast steel steering gearbox TSB done. Went from 1/2 to maybe 1/4ā or less slop. My 21 feels completely different. Never had a complaint about it. Maybe itās manufacturing tolerances to an extent?
