I've had my Wrangler for about two years now and it's always made a bit of a sewing machine sound at idle, but lately I've convinced myself it's louder and now I can't unhear it. The thing is, everyone tells me something different. One guy says all Pentastars tick and it's just the injectors, another says if it's the rocker arms you'll know because it gets worse when warm. I'm not mechanical enough to tell the difference and I don't want to pay for a strip down if it's nothing. A mate sent me a link and told me to click here to read up on the common issues before I panic, which was actually pretty useful, but I'd still like some real world opinions. At what point did you decide yours needed looking at? And did anyone here get it checked and find out it was nothing all along? I'd feel a lot better hearing that honestly.
