Given that TSB does not apply to JL's built past December 28th, 2018 and retail JT production did not start until April 2019, more than a good probability any changes in that JL TSB are already rolled into the JT.
It doesnāt hurt to point out to the tech that there is an existing TSB for the same problem on the JL so he knows he isnāt fooling anyone with the song and dance.
hey everyone. im new to the forum and i just purchased a gladiator overland about a month ago. i noticed i have the same A/C problem as some of the people on this thread. if i set my A/C to LO it blows out ice cold air and if i put it on HI its blazing hot but there is no in between. as soon as i set it up one degree from LO which is 60, its blowing hot hot air. ive tried the AUTO A/C, all the different blower setting and nothing seems to fix it. i printed out that that TSB for the JL and took it to my dealership and told them this is what is whats happening and they said they cant go off that because it was for a JL and its not the same.... they tried to do the system reset and update it to the most current version but they informed me my gladiator was already updated and they couldn't update it again. ive called jeep cares and notified them about this and im taking it back in tomorrow and there going to try and look deeper into the problem and possibly open a Chrysler star case on it. my step dad has the lunch edition gladiator and his is doing the same thing. it seems like a lot of people are having this issue and if anyone knows a solution or how there gladiator was fixed please let me know. if i find out anything from the dealership with progress i will post it.
Hi Jimmy196791,
Hi teneck83,
Hi Onlyriko,
hey everyone. I dropped the gladiator off yesterday and informed them that this is an ongoing issue with a lot of people and told them about this thread on this forum. They informed me they were going to open a Star case on it and just start with that. Once the technician comes out and documents the issues (and hopefully fixes it) it will be logged onto Jeeps maintenance system so when you guys bring your gladiators in with the same problem they will be able to search and see this case and technicians notes and what he did to fix it. This is what they told me at the dealership. I hope this helps and when they give me more info I will post it. Also I noticed yesterday after my 2hr drove to the dealership... around 1hr and 45 mins the A/C started to kinda of work right. Idk if anyone else has had this experience or not.
This is my take on it as well. If it's 45Ā° outside and I set the Jeep to 67Ā°, I'm convinced that it is sending out hot air to bring it to the "desired" cabin temperature. After driving for a bit, the air coming out of the vents is more of what I would expect at the temperature.
so i thought the same thing. kind of like the way the A/C works in a house. its only going to blow out the desired air temp to bring the inside down or up based on what you put the A/C at. not to disrespect jeep or anything but thats kinda of stupid design if they did make it like that. i grew up with jeeps and ive never had an A/C issue like this. im in a brand new grand Cherokee right now that they loaned me and it doesn't do that. my uncle and cousin have a brand new sport and Rubicon wrangler as well and his A/C doesn't seem to have this issue either, and our A/C system looks practically the same. i live in Oregon and they live in FL. My step dad who has the Rubicon gladiator that i mentioned in a previous post also lives in FL and he's having the same issue i am.
Hi teneck83,
Hi Greg,
Iām in Florida where itās still 80Ā° outside and itās doing the same for me. I can assure you itās not a matter of the air being warmer than ambient/outside temperature. When I set mine above LO, it blows hot air, even when itās hot outside.
