I have the Mojito Sport. It wasn't hard to find on the lot out of a large fleet of Jeeps. I looked online, it was the only one for couple of hundred miles. kk

The old 727's were notorious for this. They were supposed to be put in neutral when checking fluid levels for this reason. The trick on those was the shift to neutral for a few seconds to let line pressure build up. I don't know if the ZF's are the same or not. I haven't noticed it on mine but I...

When I was in basic training in the Army a bazillion years ago we had an hour long class going over the dangers of driving a "Ford" Jeep. There has recently been a lot of new Broncos showing up in town. I got to look at one closeup yesterday. Just a pavement cruiser made for soccer moms. However...

My Gladiator is only 2 months old. I changed oil at 500 miles like we do with new motorcycles. I put 5-30 in it. It has been mentioned that dealerships can tell from the computer what weight oil is in the engine. Is this in fact true? I also don't let my engines idle for extended periods. This...

My last Cummins Ram was an auto, manuals weren't readily available and horsepower was less because the manuals couldn't handle the torque. I prefer an auto now because of traffic congestion with all the stop and go. Back in the mid-60's the Ram Chargers went to auto for their drag racing...

I bought my new Gladiator two months ago. So I am new here but I did my first oil change like recommended for motorcycles, 500 miles. I put 5-30 in it. Probably my imagination but the engine seems a tickle quieter. Not my first Pentastar but if I remember correctly 5-30 was specified for them...

I had a 440 Magnum out of a wrecked Charger. I put the whole drivetrain in a 1954 Dodge pickup. It sat up high and the last two cylinders in the cab, not much room under the hood. It was kind of a 60's altered. Even though I carried quite a bit of construction equipment in the truck I still got...

My wife's Grand Wagoneer lowers for more aero efficiency. My diesel Ram had somewhat "streamlined" mirrors. They were virtually worthless when backing, especially with a trailer. I think only Ford puts usable mirrors on their trucks. kk

I had a Chrysler Sebring that was doing the same thing. It only happened rarely but one time on a business trip it stalled in the middle of an intersection. I had enough and took it to a nearby Dodge dealer the next morning. The tech hooked it up to his diagnostic unit. He said it stalled last...

I have only had my new Gladiator for a month and a half, so I am new to the Jeep world other than my wife's Cherokees and now G Wagoneer. I have been reading a lot about the whole Aux battery issue and wondering what I should do. I have had a couple of Cummins Ram which of course have dual...

I got a hammock for the back seat. It came from Chewy, probably made by the same company. It protects the factory seat. Easy in and easy out.

I don't close the door all the way when I get out to open/close the gate with the fob on my belt. The horn doesn't sound. If you don't close the door all the way when putting it in gear it won't move. My wife's '23 Grand Wagoneer is exactly the same. The locking the trans is a pain for me when...

You might check Thule. They list some for the Gladiator. I don't know about the models with gutters. I have a pair that went on my Ram PU but that truck doesn't have gutters.

I'll add my 2 cents. We bought a new '19 Grand Cherokee with the Pentastar. After a short period of time about 1,000 miles I thought I had better check the oil. It didn't even register on the dipstick, I was of course in a panic. It took three quarts, I figured we were in for a warranty engine...

These look great. I have only had my new Gladiator for a couple of weeks and I am already looking at accessories. The stock lights look like backyard add on's. kk
