Just got a call from the local Jeep Dealer

[RenegadeBullitt]

...and they want close to $1500 to repair the valves on my driver side head. They said that the #5 coil pack went bad and is causing the valves to stick...I have a 80,000 Powertrain Warranty but I have a feeling they are going to void it because someone put autolite plugs in and they said thats what caused the pack to go bad...p:....Jeep only has 75,000 miles on it...

Under warranty...call Chrysler Care. Weak valve/spring design, happens often enough (myself included). Nothing to do with a different plug manufacturer.

spark plug did not make the coil pack go bad

what year? there is a tsb for 05-06 for burnt valves. mike

if you have a 2005-2006 it is tsb: 09-007-06. it deals valve locks not letting the valves rotate and burning cylinder #2 or cylinder #5 valves. those plugs did not cause your problem!

how would a bad coil pack make your valves stick?
