I don’t have any links, it’s based off what issues I see coming in the shop.
I see. What are you considering to be high mileage?

Honestly it depends. Sometimes we see lifter failure on vehicles with less than 50,000km. The majority of chewed up cams we see though all have other 100,000km.
The 3.6 is still a great engine though. It had some teething issues with cylinder heads and cam phasers when it first came out, but long term reliability still seems pretty good. Makes great power, and has good economy.
Personally for me though, in a truck, I’d want the hemi.
I can understand that.
In case you are unaware, tach tech is a Chrysler tech, great to have on the forum. I would listen to him over me. That being said I know quite a few folk with over 100000 miles in wranglers. No issues.
With as many 3.6 engines that are out there, the actually failure rate for the issues I mentioned is going to be extremely low. The most common issue was the cylinder heads which they actually extended the warranty on them to 10 years/250,000km for the effected years.

LOL.... maybe we should hit RAM/FCA up for exhaust bolt replacements with every oil change???
I looked this up after it got mentioned here. It appears this was an issue back in 2011-2013 ish? Sometime around there, but it is now a resolved issue? Something with the cylinder heads on one side?
there is not. i see the guy everyday driving a jeep liberty that the dealer is letting him use. only problem is he uses his truckfor construction type work.I believe there is more to this story.
I would have left it at Ford blows....Gm 6.0 same , back bolts.
Ford blows out sparks plug,
Some vehicles will go 200K with nothing but oil changes
I don't care one way or the other, but I think we all know what he meant. We're talking trucks here. "Car" can sometimes be used as a generic term for automobile.
Just wondering what year your friends engine is. 7 months to replace an engine they build hundreds of every day sounds like more to the story.not sure if you have seen all the issues with the hemi and lifters destroying cams but its happening. my fiends ram is waiting on an engine. its been in the shop since January. ship date on engine from ram is august
