  1. Repeatable Stutter/Judder During Light Acceleration

    Oh nice, didn't realize that was a thing. Thanks y'all!
  2. Repeatable Stutter/Judder During Light Acceleration

    No cylinder had a lot or more than 1-2 more than the others. Thanks, that eases my mind about that. That does help, actually. The only times I noticed it was under acceleration that was very light - probably lighter than the TCM has "learned" from my usual habits.
  3. Repeatable Stutter/Judder During Light Acceleration

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. I think I felt it once yesterday, but it may just have been me being overly sensitive. I've had 3 drive cycles where I didn't feel it at all, so this is not as repeatable as I thought, after all. It might not be related at all, but does anyone know if having a...
  4. Repeatable Stutter/Judder During Light Acceleration

    Thanks, I'll take a look! This was never going to be my "forever" car, but I'm definitely not ready to trade it in so soon. I guess if it continues, I'll take it to the dealership to at least get the concern documented. *Edit - found your thread. Going through it now, but you know what, my...
  5. Repeatable Stutter/Judder During Light Acceleration

    I have a '24 Sport S with the 3.6L/8AT, and have around 9K miles now. Yesterday I had a weird issue come up where early into my stop-and-go commute (10 miles or so), I was lightly accelerating away from the last stop and after it shifted into 3rd or 4th (I'm not sure which), immediately after...
  6. Gladiator Q3 2025 Sales Increased 43%

    That's kind of surprising that the JT is up 43% - I still see a lot of 2025's on the lots around me, many sitting for months. As for the new Cherokee, it has been a unibody design going back 40 years, so I don't think anyone was seriously anticipating a change to body on frame. I don't really...
  7. 🛠️ What's the Best Interior Upgrade You've Made?

    I got their tinted sun visor and it's been a game changer for someone that has a commute directly into the sun 😎 https://www.amazon.com/AZUTO-Compatible-Polycarbonate-UV-Filtering-Protection/dp/B0DGGCCNFH?th=1 I just added a couple of stick-on felt pads/bumpers to keep it from rattling on the...
  8. New TSB solution for Pentastar trouble codes, rough idle, and noise

    Great. I bought an old stock MY24 at the end of the year thinking I was getting a good deal since MY25 had no substantial changes. My build date is before August ... 😖 So this issue is made worse by higher RPM? If so, I'm going to have to really consider an extended warranty or dumping the JT...
  9. Smart Stop/Start

    Do you mean the physical button itself (located below the infotainment screen)? If so, it is exactly the same as when you use the button manually. When you start up the truck, it automatically "presses" the button for you, so the light on the button turns on, indicating ESS is disabled. When you...
  10. Smart Stop/Start

    I have the same one. No issues installing or using it, but it's only been ~6 months. I had a similar product on my last car and had no issues for years. Not that I use it often, but I like that you still have the option to turn ESS back on temporarily by just pressing the dash button. It just...
  11. The Gladiator IS the most American made truck

    I had a 2nd gen Ridgeline, and it has consistently been in the top 10 for years, which was always a bit ironic considering the brand. Nothing against the RL or Honda, but it's nice to see Jeep sneak up on them this year :)
  12. New Visor with HomeLink buttons 😱 Air bags

    My '24 Sport S did not have the Homelink visor, and I found that the existing body-side wiring for mine only had 2 wires for the mirror light, not 3. So there was no Homelink wire back to the BCM. So I followed this method to modify the replacement visor to get power from the light...
  13. Using JScan to disable ESS (Auto Start Stop) Requires disconnecting the Hood Ajar switch? Anyone done this?

    I saw the same thing and I didn't want to unplug sensors or have a warning on the dash. In the end I went with an Autostop Eliminator (https://www.autostopeliminator.com/). It essentially just electronically pushes the button for you. So you can choose to re-nable ESS at the push of a button if...
  14. Another rear window leak

    I tried to do the silicone tube fix proactively on my new-ish '24 (no signs of leaking yet, though). Weirdly, I couldn't for the life of me get the tubing in all around the window. I tried starting from the bottom at the middle and I could get some in, but it wasn't staying and it was taking...
  15. Does anyone know what this is? External over-the-wheel-well tool/storage box

    Seems like an unreleased SEMA concept. It was before I joined the forum, but the reaction here seemed ... "mixed" 🤣 https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/attica-4x4-rear-fender-flare-storage-system.74489/
