@@thevacdude so simple, yet so satisfying

But, crab crawl and four-wheel steering 🥴

@@ConnorFreeman-o9n I am not a mechanic, so I don’t want to provide incorrect information or say anything that would cause unnecessary alarm, but I can share what I found researching this. First, I found multiple videos on RUclips of Wrangler JKs between 2012 and 2017 that you can hear whine under hard acceleration in the upper RPM band. I also found a couple videos of varying model years where I could not hear a whine, but I am not sure if this is because the camera mic didn’t pick up the noise well enough or the noise truley wasn’t there. This Wrangler I drove felt and drove just fine - other than the noise in discussion, shifts were smooth with no clunking or slipping or balking. I did not hear any unusual noises while idling and in park. Of course, Wranglers aren’t heavily insulated like other cars, so noises are likely to be more noticeable. Some people’s experience documented online suggests that the Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 tends to emit a whining noise and is a normal characteristic of this engine. However, other people’s experience suggests a variety of issues could be occurring that cause a Wrangler Jk to emit a whining noise, including the power steering pump (although this does not stand out to me as something having a problem in this instance), bad idler pulley, bad tensioner, or bad alternator bearing, but these items would more than likley be making noises if there was a problem when parked. Given that the noise comes in under acceleration, it could be something related to the torque converter. I don’t think a process of elimination would hurt here: have you had the transmission fluid flushed and changed and the filter replaced? I try to have that done on my personal vehicles every 30,000 miles. Are you at the mileage threadhold for the serpentine belt to be replaced? If not, consider asking about the whining noise (perhaps getting a video clip that captures the whining sound) and having the idler pulley, tensioner, and alternator looked at during your next oil change. If there are still any concerns, consider having the noise at the transmission level checked into directly by a qualified professional. In the end, if you’re not experiencing a loss of power and feel your Wrangler is otherwise driving normally and not shifting weird or throwing you any other sort of red flag, and someone else has looked into the noise and you feel comfortable with their assessment, then I would consider this noise normal until proven otherwise. Sorry to be a bit long-winded here but hoping this information helps in some way!

@ thank you, much appreciated!

@carappiehl heck yea i got a impala, its a 3.5, its my first car! i only really had to fix the transmission, and after that it hasnt let me down once!

It was FWD! Big fan of the first gens - a keeper for sure if still in great shape. We had a red ‘09 with the 2.3 engine and I honestly wish we were still rocking it!

@@bass_fish_gleb very suitable for this model and time period; has held up well after 16 years!

@@carappiehl That's great! I hope it will last at least another 15-20 years. Such cars should be saved! P. S. Make big video about your Taurus X please! It's my dream car!

@@bass_fish_gleb not mine, but a good friend of mine - will need to see if we can make that happen!

@@HarryJohn-yd4pj I believe the newer models with 3.6 engine are more problematic than the older engines - good care = longevity!

@@markok0610 it’s as dreamy as my dreams dreamt it would be. Perfection.

@@r2ba435 truly! Basic, but super effective. Would love a back to back comparison experience of 3.5, 3.9, and 3.6 for 9th-generation models just for fun 💭

The 3.9 has 20 more horsepower and its transmission has a shorter final drive ratio, so it feels more quicker than the 3.5.

Thank you! I honestly wish I had more time to assess what was going on -- the turnover here was really quick. 1). I had no idea 4WD wasn't engaged LOL. Frankly I was fooled the whole time because it handled all those obstacles with no indication of struggle (at least not compared to the other vehicles driven on this course) 2) I asked about the warning lights and unfortunately was not given any definitive answers -- INEOS product specialists were not on the course, the people that were on course were unfamiliar, and I did not get a chance to catch up with anyone from INEOS after this. Hopefully all ended up fixed 😅. Awesome to experience!

@@carappiehl All goes to show how capable the vehicle really is. 🙂

@@GrenadierMichael yes! And without needing to be the tallest, largest, most tech’d out monstrosity. Simple and mighty effective.

It’s full time 4wd. So this is incorrect.

@@ericking9225 after further review, I don’t know what the correct answer is as far as what’s going on with the Grenadier here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Does have permanent 4WD, yes correct, felt and acted like 4L was engaged? Going to dive further into all the dash lights that are on and understand what was going on…..appreciate the opportunity to learn here!

@@chiwashy8306 thanks so much! The color combo with the interior and exterior here is one of my favorites this model year. Cabin noise felt still at all speeds. When the Toyota/Lexus V-6 engine kicks on, you definitely know it’s running - emitting a familiar throaty yet muted hum - but the 404 hp of total output works quick to address acceleration needs and quiets things back down almost immediately before you even have a chance to notice. Very pleasant.

@@outroseok these are the kind of signs I want in my daily life 😂

@@amangeldijumanaliev877 truly amazing! Soft, noise-deadened…there is a clear gap between Toyota’s new Crown Signia (one of Toyota’s most premium vehicles in its lineup currently) ride quality, and this Lexus TX which was great to experience back to back to feel how they differentiate. Even at 5,400 lbs, body roll and bumps were very unobtrusive to me, and I rememeber getting out feeling very positive about the overall driving experience I had - enjoyed so much I drove it twice this same weekend I was attending an automotive media conference. So much to drive, yet the TX made me want to drive it twice.

Over 2 and a half minutes!

@@carappiehl If you'd tap the gaspadel ones, it'll go down much faster

I personally would advise against that, but I respect your position regardless. To summarize information from Consumer Reports, although letting an engine warm up to full operating temperature is not necessary, it is recommended that a cold engine have the opportunity to get its oil circulating prior to departure, and “not to rev the engine hard for the first few minutes of driving until you see the temperature gauge move off the cold reading.” As innocent as a tap of the gas at start up may seem, I worry about causing long-term issues. I’d hate to lose use-life on a good vehicle because I couldn’t wait a few extra minutes for it to idle down. There isn’t always time for that certainly, just something I try to be cognizant of when I’m not in a rush. www.consumerreports.org/cars/cars-driving/should-you-warm-up-your-car-before-driving-a5580016349/?srsltid=AfmBOoppQTf1foDTcBROQcVPQhLrE9mpLJHoa-PlMVK-AWWL11WNAzWy

It’s just warming up

@@ronarmfield913 awesome!! I love how capable it is, and really like the Overtrail’s looks over the Premium and Lux grades. Hoping you get plenty of fun with it!!

@@vishnuhalikere2151 AGREED

BTW, what is the reason for this howling?

And the door sounds tinny.

You should see the Ineos Grenadier with its recirculating ball steering its so loose, it’s wild.

@@ragnariskat6214the hollow echoes are disappointing for sure

@@ragnariskat6214a combination of the engine’s mechanical fan clutch and the locking center differential being engaged - was in low gear the whole time

Thank you!

You’re absolutely right - let me fix that! I had the opportunity to attend an automotive media conference where we got to drive a whole bunch of neat stuff! Still lots to post.

Should be fixed now! Appreciate the lookout 🤝

@@carappiehl Love that man. Good luck in the future.

@@curly432 thanks so much! Appreciate it greatly

My grandma also had one 😂 - red! 2002. A lot of nostalgia for me for a PT Cruiser that completely outweighs any and all potential drawbacks and unnecessary hate. First car I ever drove!

Super pleasant for a pickup!

Just got a 2017. You’re absolutely right. I can say it’s probably the quietest, smoothest pickup by a long shot, at least for the price. It rides like a large sedan, which makes sense because it’s basically a car with a bed and a little stronger structure. The seats are SO nice too.

@@matth9252awesome! For sure a vehicle I would have no problem driving until the wheels fell off (if they ever even would). Everything together (reliability, ride quality, practicality, etc) makes this a solid purchase in my humble opinion!

I appreciate this comment tremendously! If the video was not playing in 1080, this was filmed with a GoPro hero 7 - unfortunately not 4K so apologies for that. Was the sound quality okay? I am still playing with feedback setting when recording. The Subaru SPT was super smooth so made the drive very chill! Just driving around in the country in the Midwest 🤘

I do like the sound of the first-gen Pentastar for sure - gives off a nice smooth tone. The TJ powertrains also have their own satisfying sound to them, especially the I-6!
