I have a 21 Gladiator EcoDiesel and love it. Depending on where you live, I would check the dealers to see if they have the staff to work on your vehicle (if needed). I recently had a check engine light come on and was told because of the lack of staff they wouldn’t be able to see me until Feb. 4th.
Fortunately, I live in diesel country. I toggle back and forth between two dealerships. Both dealerships have a designated EcoDiesel tech. Not only are they good diesel mechanics, but they have a positive attitude and seem to really take pride in their ability to diagnose and repair. My dealers also sell many Ram and Jeep EcoDiesels, so the techs are really familiar with the entire engine including engine replacements.
Different engine from the JT though, right? Not really a fair comparison; the airflow would presumably be different in a WK too.
Check my previous posts.
lol just say what you mean. I meant that just because a different generation has worked out well in your WK doesn't guarantee similar success in your JT.
Well, your opinion counts. These powertrains and associated systems are my vocation, and it's my business to understand them, from their base engine design, generational differences (as it pertains to NVH primarily), etc. etc. In the case of the Motori, the platform is considered "mature", the design of which is benchmark and pretty "mundane". I'd already worked-on two JLD's, digested the vendor cut-sheets, and knew EXACTLY what would be coming to me in it's current incarnation - with the exception of exploring methods of increased powertrain cooling (the discussion of which will be coming in a new thread soon enough) as it pertains to the requirement of mine to tow a 28' Airstream effectively without cooling issues.
It do. And really it sounds like we agree if you're saying you don't think the JT powertrain can tow the same as your WK.
Yes, it doesn't.
