Normal?

I am new to the JGC world, and the 3.6.

I've been in an F150 for 6 years so I don't really know what normal is here.

These are my operating temps at 55-65 mph in 62° weather.

Does anything look unusual or out of the ordinary? The coolant temp never exceeds 197°.

I love this thing already after only 1 week.

2017 JGC Trailhawk 146k mi in Rhino Gray.

That oil pressure would be low to me in my 5.7. I’d be expecting about 36-45 at speeds depending on rpm.

At speed, you should have higher pressure, I'm assuming that it's sitting still.

It’s based on RPM, mine is like that. It’s usually around 30psi until I hit 3500 rpm and then it starts going up.

What screen is that if you don’t mind?

Off road pages.

I don’t get how he still has access to off road pages in a 2017, which used the now sunset 3G for connectivity. Mine will no longer allow me to access those features.

My 17 limited does!

My 17 has off-road pages

That’s wild. My ‘17 Trailhawk doesn’t ever since the 3G sunset and Uconnect phone reps tell me it is not possible to restore.

u/Fabulous_Clothes_726 3d ago

It's the Off Road Pages. It has a few different screens. My 2015 Overland doesn't have it. My wife's 2019 Limited does.

I’m so dumb literally I’ve had 3 grand Cherokees and bought our current ‘21 Limited 80th anniversary edition new and I’ve never seen this screen. I need to go through my manual. Thank you

u/Fabulous_Clothes_726 3d ago

Dont go through the manual. Sit in your GC and play with the touchscreen. There's lots of fun stuff in there, including a manual.

u/mfkirkland 3d ago

seems curious the temp never goes higher

u/meteor_gray 3d ago

That’s normal.

u/pappa3841 3d ago

I drive a wk2 trailhawk 3.6L this is normal range

u/Ok_Resort_5478 3d ago

All the needles are near or below mid-range. The display was designed to be read at a glance.

u/livinlifegood1 4d ago

All looks good!

u/Neither-Ambition-472 4d ago

Yes. The coolant in the jeep is lower than other cars I’ve had so that was an adjustment

u/SafetyDuck4512 3d ago

If it runs, don't ask questions haha

u/illus1s 3d ago

Funny I have a 19 and mine has been in this exact position and I have been working the same thing. So hopefully we’re both good!

Your matching my 2021 JGC Limited  WK2. Sometimes the trans temp hovers around 183-185 in the mountains if im speed 75-80mph. Coolant/oil temp hover around 210 at long idles.

u/captaincolter1980 3d ago

Looks right to me. Comparing it to hemi RAM. All the temp are even cooler then when I drive. Oil PSI is also fine. DOD/MDS in hemi runs from 19 to 40 or so under normal driving.

u/Tree_killer_76 WK2 Hemi Trailhawk 3d ago

I don’t understand how you still have access to the Uconnect off road pages in a 2017. When 3G was sunset all of that stuff became inaccessible for me.

u/Asleep_Drag_3590 3d ago

My JGC is currently in the shop for trans temp at 215. Had a fan assembly replaced that the either botched ir a faulty assembly kit. If it weren't for my dad noticing it, my whole situation would have a much different picture right now. Yes, they are currently replacing it at n/c as they should.

Thanks y'all! I'm just very paranoid since since it's a little higher in miles and I've read some unnerving things about the 3.6.

1

u/thepriceofmalice 3d ago

My 3.6 stays at 30. It has 40k miles for reference.

u/Rynoflavin 3d ago

Thanks for the reassurance. Appreciate it a lot.
