Thanks Dave. I don't think it's pinging either the more I listen and pay attention to the engine sounds, and from what everyone here has told me. I think it's just the 'normal' engine sounds from that particular type of engine. This is my first Wrangler (first Jeep product too for that matter), and I am still trying to adjust to all the different sounds/noises that she makes without freaking out over it first. Which is why I am writing in to this post before taking every little 'problem' to the dealer. Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. : D
I bought my first Jeep about 2 years ago, and the 4.0 makes such a racket I thought someone slipped a diesel under the hood ;-)

Know what you mean. It sounds like it is about to explode when it gets over
3000 rpm. Its quite a feat to construct an I6 and make it sound that rough. Fortunately, it pulls like a train, lasts forever and as it never seems to shake itself to bits, so it doesn't matter !Dave Milne, Scotland
You said it. Especially when starting her up first thing in the morning with the defroster on. Holy cow does she roar! After a couple of minutes, all is fine again. : D
