First question: I have a “knocking” or ”pinging” noise that occurs frequently, but not always (I would call it intermittent but it occurs fairly frequently) almost always between 1000 rpm and 2000 rpm, and more specifically 1400 rpm to 1700 rpm. It has the V-6 Pentastar engine in it. I bought the Jeep used from Carmax and it had 18,100 miles and was a little more that one year old when I bought it. The Jeep did not have this problem then, but about about 23, 000 I started to notice it. I now have about 44, 000 on it but it does not seem to have gotten worse, or more frequent. I have taken it to my dealer (Criswell in Gaithersburg MD) several times and told the about it (it is still under warranty and want them to fix it before it is out of warranty) but they don’t seem to know the cause. They have heard it when test driving it, but it isn’t loud enough, or constant enough for them to have diagnosed the problem. They did say on the last trip to them that they replaced some valve components but that seemed to do nothing? Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
Second Question: I am trying to understand whether I can put a 16 foot, 84 pound, canoe on the top of my Wrangler (2019 Wrangler Sport Unlimited) with the hard/removable top. I don’t want to put any “heavy duty” rack on my Jeep so I am just wondering whether the roof can hold it> I asked the dealer and they said they didn’t know. Anyone have any knowledge about whether I can put a 16 foot, 84 pound canoe on the top of my hard top? Any and all information appreciated.
