While out looking for freeze plugs today, I stopped in at the dealership. They wanted $13 each for the 40mm ones (we have 2) and $3 each for the 35mm ones (we have 6). Ended up buying them elsewhere, $8 for all 8, but I did score a nice printout diagram with OEM fastener/bearing/plug numbers. Scanned it, and here it is!  |

It didn't happen to have the part numbers for the oil pan bolts did it?

It didn't happen to have the part numbers for the oil pan bolts did it? I had to replace the oil pan on ours recently, and the dealer was able to get me the OEM bolts without any problem. Don’t remember the numbers though (2 of the bolts are shorter), so there are 2 different part numbers. |

I've found this so far...  But beyond sealants and torque specs, I'm not having luck |

I've been striking out online for part numbers, Dealership has about a 50% markup on hardware. How much did they charge you for new bolts? Getting ready to pull the oil pan for a visual inspection, and to refresh gasket for itsy bitsy leak. Figured i'd replace the 14 year old hardware while i'm in there.

LOL I can’t seem to find how much I paid but in the grand scheme of things I knew I had to do it. Half of the old ones, the heads were stripping when I tried to take them out. It was a serious pain in the rear. Once they were out, I didn’t really have much choice in the matter, I HAD to have new ones. |

Find the thread pitch, length, and diameter, then go to a shop that sells fasteners. Here we have Facca. Not sure what you guys have

was hoping to have new bolts ready to go. But might have to take them all out and shop for replacements. If I save my lunch money I may just go to the dealership and give them their ransom for new bolts.

For stuff like timing and oil pan bolts, I just ran mine through a die and cleaned up the threads. So that's always an option there too. I also chased every thread in the block

Turbo Tom recommends soaking bolts in mineral spirits over night, so I might try that. Hagerty had some special paint for bolts that you apply and heat and its supposed to keep them from rusting. I definitely need a thread chase kit. Of course as soon as my wife's patriot is out of warranty everything is breaking. Just did 2 wheel hubs, front and rear sway bar bushings, and next week is rear struts, pretty sure it will be 4 end links and tie rods next. Last jeep i'm ever buying. My car is on the back burner until I finish up a deck and shed this summer. As well as mandatory 10 hour work days. Adulting has it's drawbacks.

Mineral spirits then rust paint would be a nice combo, assuming the bolts aren't going into a fluid environment (bolts on flanges are sealed off)
Good call on not buying Jeep. They're one of the worst brands in North America. Avoid Fiat-Chrysler Group all together. Fiat is improving, but Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram are dropping in quality. Either way, they are all at the bottom of the list for reliability, and have been for this whole decade

My 2012 wrangler was solid, traded it in to get the patriot after we had my daughter. Wife wanted an SUV instead of her Lancer. Which I wasn't sad about being it was about to need another $1,200 in tire, hate low profiles for dailies. 7 years that lancer only needed a set of tires, routine maintenance, and brakes at the end.
But the spray I heard about is mainly for the bolt heads. Supposed to hold up to the the socket and not chip.

Sounds kinda like snake oil to me. Typically anything that goes on with a thin coating like that costs shitlaods of money, like the hardening process done to our 4G69 crankshafts (unsure of 6G75)

On youtube it worked, that's as much as I can say about it.
