Need advice - mods feel free to move couldn’t figure out where to put it but hoping for some advice.
Took 2014 Wrangler (24k miles) to Jeep for oil sender unit replacement. Common repair for this year. Dealer “does them all the time”.
Repair is done after some usually Jeep Service Writer bull****. (If you ever get frustrated with Ford buy a Jeep- you will think Ford is amazing) Bring the Jeep out front and it dies. Smells like gas and won’t restart. They push it back in and 30 minutes later tell me the tech must have dropped a bolt into cylinder 5 and it has cracked the head.
They are replacing the head and I will have a 2 year warranty on the parts from the repair. Is this the right fix, are there more precautions I should take, I am pretty naive when it comes to engine internals and repairs like this.
I’m pretty disappointed since now the selling process is going to involve this story which will certainly lower buyer confidence. I was planning on selling after the initial repair already.
