3 Engine Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Jeep Dealer

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The engine is the most complex and expensive part of your Jeep and requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition. If your Jeep develops engine problems, they must be fixed ASAP to prevent further damage. As your Jeep dealer, we have the technology and know-how to repair any problem for you. These are samples of some of the systems we can fix.

Old Engine Oil

High-quality oil allows your engine to operate at peak efficiency. It lubricates all the moving components and provides a friction-resistant coating to reduce damage. The fast movement of the oil over the hot engine parts also reduces the engine temperature. In addition, the oil contains specialized additives that help to protect the engine against various forms of damage.

Engine oil develops problems as it gets older. It thickens and slows down, both of which reduce its effectiveness. Thicker oil can clog the engine oil filter, and this will cause serious engine damage as components grind against each other. Older oil can also undo all its previous good work by forming blockages in the engine. We can solve this by flushing your engine to remove all traces of the old oil and refill the oil.

Transmission Leaks

Although the transmission is separate from the engine, the two are physically and symbiotically linked. The engine and transmission are connected by the torque converter, which receives the energy from the engine that the transmission uses to move the wheels. The symbiotic linkage is because the two systems must work together to move your car.

Transmission fluid flows through the transmission, producing the hydraulic power that shifts the gears. It cools transmission components as it moves and protects them from damage. If your transmission is leaking, it will become noisier and less responsive. Gears and other components will lock together and seize up. We’ll trace the source of the leak and seal it, then repair any damage and replace the lost transmission fluid.

Alternator Problems

The alternator is a relatively simple component that uses a complex process to generate electricity from mechanical en​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ergy. It uses the movement of the crankshaft to produce electricity from when your engine starts until it stops. The alternator can suffer damage due to age or worn components. The rectifier, for example, is a small component that converts AC to DC. If it fails, the alternator will produce power, but your Jeep’s DC systems can’t use it.

When an alternator gets older, it produces less electricity than it used to. This can lead to random electrical glitches, a weak battery, and other electrical issues. We can examine your alternator and either repair the damage or replace the alternator.

Engine issues are usually quick and inexpensive to repair if identified when they start. Visit us today at Devils Lake CDJR of Devils Lake, ND.
