Crown Automotive Oil Pump Drive Assembly Engine

Used in a 2006 jeep Wrangler with the 4.0Just remove the cover from the old unit, turn the crankshaft untill the hole in the cam wheel aligns with the hole in the unit. Pull out the old and drop in the new. I reused the factory cam sensor and put the new one up for a spare. Works like a factory unit. Very pleased.

Unfortunately, I finally experienced the dreaded “laughing monkeys” when the stock OPDA in my ‘06 Wrangler failed. This Crown replacement resolved the issue. Install was fairly easy after watching a few YouTube vids; about 30 mins, most of which was setting the engine to TDC.

Great product that works better than new. Tight tolerances and put together very well.

Took me an hour to replace the bad OPDA with this new one. Shop wanted ~$575 to replace. I re-used the OEM sensor with this new OPDA. I have 96K miles on the TJ and the old OPDA started screeching. I wish I had done this prior to the old one dying as preventative maintenance, I got lucky and don't think it caused damage. Very happy!

Easy install (except ridiculously fiddly hold-down bracket / bolt) and works well. Can't find one thing on the part inside or out the confirms the brand or part number though.

Solved the issue of the screaming monkeys under my hood! Just remember to use the provided alignment tool to keep everything timed correctly.

I have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with the 4.0L i6. If you’re considering this for a replacement OPDA I would recommend it. One thing to consider if you have a factory Mopar Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) in your Jeep right now I recommend transferring it to this new part, but hold onto it the new one as a spare. I transferred my OE CMP into this new unit but after about a year the magnetic pickup sustained damage and had to install the CMP that came with this part, it has been about 1,000 miles and no problems. Also, if you like playing mud, after installing it and removing the plastic alignment tool, use some tape to cover the hole to prevent anything from making its way into the cavity and damaging your CMP.

Installed only after watching a few videos on Youtube. Very important couple of steps before removal of the defective part!! My Jeep runs like a dream and the check engine light is OFF!
