  1. 3.6L Poop6

    What bleach does the factory recommend for sanitizing the 3.6, as I presume the diesel factory is properly trained and constipated?
  2. Break in period oopsie.

    You need to check your payload sticker inside the dr. door jamb. That will tell you how much payload capacity is legal. A Max Tow, available only I believe in Sport and Sport S, gives you 1,600 lbs or so, depending upon options. On my Sport S that has not even have a receiver hitch says only...
  3. My new Gladiator Sport S

    Whoever wrapped that truck must have used some nasty soap in the spray bottle!
  4. Spring Advice w/ Shock replacement - '21 Sport S, not-lifted

    5100’s are designed to allow up to 1.5-2” of lift, with extended suspension travel. As far as springs? Lift spring won’t work correctly with extra weight. That requires a stiffer spring, that I suggest you get with a progressive rate. To add an inch or two and hold extra weight. But 5100’s are...
  5. Towing question

    I would stay away from any travel trailer with a slide! But if you have Max Tow Package from the factory you will be fine, just expect to run at 4,000 rpm’s a lot in lower gears. Keep in mind the tongue weight that reduces your payload in half to start with. Get a good weight distribution hitch...
  6. Break in period oopsie.

    Ever since my first new car/truck, a 78 Scout II TERRA 4x4, 345 V8, after asking a master mechanic about break in. He said basically the first 100 miles do not use full throttle, or more than half way to red line and you will be fine. That I’ve followed all these years in a dozen new vehicles...
  7. Break in period oopsie.

    Yea keep telling yourself that, but only yourself.
  8. My new Gladiator Sport S

    Yea welcome over from the dark side! You got a great truck with lots of features, especially compared with a Tacoma with the same.
  9. Bilstein 5100 'Upgrade' on '22 Sport Max Tow

    Yea they are designed to be able to gain the most suspension travel possible in each application of every vehicle. The last truck I added them to was a 2019 Colorado Crew Cab Z71, 4x4, V6. That was a fantastic rig, especially for towing at 10,500 lbs CGVW. That the 5100’s helped level and settle...
  10. Bilstein 5100 'Upgrade' on '22 Sport Max Tow

    I have been using 5100’s since they were first released or since I can remember anyway and used 4200’s before that. Best overall shock fried/handling and load control, for the price. Now we have a 2024 Gladiator Sport S, no Max Tow, so nice supple ride, but little soft of the rebound in back...
  11. Middle muffler replacement

    As it is stock my Sport S is actually kind of surprisingly loud as is, when at any more than 1/3rd throttle! Never mind wide open! So I can’t imagine without that huge middle muffler! Or removal of any of or all three! I have heard an aftermarket setup, but didn’t catch the name, but there were...
  12. Shocked and Confused.

    Anyone thinking about shock upgrades? I’ll tell ya all right now, for the $$$, around $500, Bilstein 5100’s are the best all around. Oh there are better, but for the same overall level of reliability and performance? Dollar for dollar? Bilstein is the way to go.
  13. What to expect with running Clayton 2.5 HD rear coils with an empty bed

    You want to carry a camper shell around? Do you at least have the Max Tow/Payload Package? If not like my Sport S, you will only have enough weight rating for up to 1,100lbs? Even so I believe then it’s 1,600 lbs. So theirs is feeling ok and being legal liability wise in any accident. No matter...
  14. Jumping to 33s tires from my stock tires.

    Ok unless you’re going off roading more than half the time, going up from a stock 255/75-17 @ 32.1, to a wider, taller and heavier 285/75-17 @ 33.8, that will give you 1.7” overall hight, with ? .85” extra ground clearance, with an extra 1.25” width, but an undeterminable amount of extra weight...
  15. Missfires/CEL, extended warranty coverage, Dealer wants to approve $1k for diagnostics

    Has anyone thought of this issue being something very simple and overlooked, like water on the gas?
  16. Missfires/CEL, extended warranty coverage, Dealer wants to approve $1k for diagnostics

    Is this the dealer you bought from, including the extended warranty? If so I would be prepared to go in person on a busy day when the showroom is busy. Talk to the general manager about the situation you’re in, while getting hot under the collar. Continuously raising your voice in concern, while...
  17. Gladiator Heated Steering Wheel

    If it’s more than two years old and you do mostly stop and go, not many highway trips, I bet it’s a battery issue.
  18. Is

    Wow 4 pages of comments?! Here’s my $.02. Back in 2019, as dealers were loading up with new Gladiators, that were seemingly only available in high trim levels, but in such high demand at the least there were NO deals, or at worst “market adjustments”, that really turned me off. At the same time...
  19. Mopar 2" lift with Fox or Bilstein Shocks

    Yes, but both were the same price level. One set of Fox on an ext cab 2016 Colorado 4x4, V6, then 5100’s on the same truck after one of the rear Fox shocks leaked, after I started towing a 4,000 lbs trailer all up and down the East Coast over the course of 14,000 miles. So after Fox ignored my...
  20. Mopar 2" lift with Fox or Bilstein Shocks

    No mater what level of $$$ you want to spend. You get more for your $$$ with Bilstein.
