Diesel cooling options and ideas

[OrangeCJ]

Found my notes... Here are the codes I wrote down
BCM - 61514-87
ABS - C121C-00
DASM - 40100-00
DASM - P2227-00
PTS - 40415 - 00

I also remember seeing the battery lit up as well... I thought that was strange because my dealership supposedly replaced both batteries less than a year ago.

This is sounding more like the harness.

Getting too hot you think?

I had a similar problem, when towing, in hot weather, getting a "Service Shifter" error and then the the dash would light up with all sorts of errors, and I'd go into limp mode. I chased down some of the "hot wire harness" possibilities... these are documented better on the Wrangler forum for Diesel JLs. In my case, that was not the cause. Had two mechanics trace the wires and didn't find anything.

Finally, a tech at my dealer at the direction of FCA, found some pins on my Power Control Module (PCM) were broken. They replaced the PCM, and so far (knock on wood) I've not had any problems.
There's another thread of a user that the PCM was not plugged in correctly, and was getting "Service Throttle" errors. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...18-service-electronic-throttle-control.50668/

Pair that with deletes, and should be on the right step to being golden




Good question, could also make mods to make both work

I spoke with bulletproof diesel and am considering pulling the trigger on this. They are still in the beginning phases of fitment which is my biggest concern. I have an aftermarket bumper and winch. I'm confident my shop can figure out how to make it fit, but how much labor costs, I'm not sure. Has anyone else tried to make this fit yet with an aftermarket bumper or winch?

Simple solution, call ID as how big the aux rad is, tell them you want to make a template for fit ment.. Make a cardboard template and see if it can fit in the area you have with your bumper.

I guess you must be talking about this harness with the melty spots on it ?

Not trying to threadjack but it is interesting how these problems manifest themselves.

Yep there she is. If you're under warranty I'd have them deal with it and resleave and or repin the harness if it's damaged.

That's charging system malfunction indicator.

The wiring in these Jeeps is soft. Multiple people having issues with broken wiring around the doors and door pins. Imagine if the heat wrapping is melting what’s going on inside this harness. I bet alot of issues people have with derates are from that stupid wiring.

Oooh Ooooh and post up the dimensions here so we can all try it out!

I spoke with the guys at Bulletproof Diesel this afternoon about the aux cooling current kit and for those of us with the OEM steel bumper. They were not aware of that option at the time of purchasing their test truck or at the time of production. They are however working on a solution for the rest of us starting next week.

I wanted to post this info up so that they don't get bombed with a bunch of calls asking the same questions. I also thanked them for investing the time and money to acquire a test truck and actually produce a kit for us. It sucks that production is ending and they may not even see a good return on that investment.

I ordered the bulletproof diesel cooler today. It's going in mid September. Normally it goes on the bumper horns on the stock bumper, which I have cut off. There is a place to put it further up, which is probably a better location anyways. I'm assuming the brackets will need a little work or I'll have to get custom brackets made but it should fit either way. I'll update once I get it installed.

I suppose at this point we are going to be waiting until next year to see if this worked. I am just surprised that a suplimental coolant cooler, will be enough to help drop oil temps.

I run hot oil temps when it’s cool, it just takes longer to get there. I should know on my drive home. Talking with bullet proof it’s not the end all fix but it does help a significant amount. For the price, that’s all you can expect
