Got out of my Jeep at the airport to catch an early morning flight and when I pushed the lock button, I saw the door handle was sticking out. My immediate fear was that something broke and I was not going to be able to lock the doors. Upon a closer look, I saw plastic, reinforcing my fear...

Did a search and did not find any other reports of a starter failure on an EcoDiesel. Mine went out at just over 8000 miles. I had noticed a slightly raspy sound sometimes when it started first thing in the morning. Nothing overly concerning. I always thought Chrysler starters sounded raspy...

On July 3 when the order books opened for the Ecodiesel, I saw with glee that 2021 was also bringing a Selec-Trac option to the Gladiator, but as I delved into the details, I was disappointed to see that it was not available with the Ecodiesel. Discussion here at the time suggested the reason...

Any body else found their oil to be a quart low after 2000 miles.? The steel cable dipstick is a new one on me too. It has been a while since I have broken in a new engine, but I don't recall other vehicles burning oil at first. No visible drips.

I have found that my headlights do a decent job when I am off road. The exception is when I go across a dry creek bed. When I am angled down the slope of the bank, my headlights point into the ground and I cannot see the line across the bottom of the creek bed. When I get to the other side, I...

I have been impressed with the cloth tape and woven split wire wrap I have found on the wiring harnesses in my new Gladiator. As I start installing my ham gear and other stuff, I want to match it. I have done some searching, but can’t find a Mopar or other OEM source identification. Can anybody...

I have seen discussion on here about the technical merits of running dedicated power cables vice using the auxiliary switches to power ham gear. I am well acquainted with the theory behind all of this. What I am looking for is any actual experience anybody has with RF getting into anything on...

Replaced the OEM roll-up cloth tonneau. Was on the Jeep 3 days following delivery. I believe this is MOPAR Part 82215617, which MOPAR lists for $940 on their website. Allows access to the full width of the bed. Make offer.

My day has finally come. My Jeep was delivered this week. After a couple of Jeepless months, it is good to fill the spot in the garage with another red rubi. No offense to those who name their Jeep. We named our kids and our dogs and cats, but I have never found a need to name my vehicles...

So, anybody else who has theirs hearing an irritating buzzing sound coming from the left side of the engine after turning it off? Not just something a car nut hears. My wife said: "What is that noise? Is it supposed to do that?" Fairly high pitched vibrating/buzzing sound. Does not sound...

Those of us who have owned Jeeps have always known this, but here it is, officially printed on Page 62 of my 2021 Gladiator Owner’s Manual: CAUTION! (Continued)  It is recommended that the top be free of water prior to opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while...

As I continue to order parts for my as yet unbuilt JTR EcoDiesel, I am discovering a lot of parts for the underside are now specifically saying they are not for the diesel (as in the case of AMP steps/rock sliders) or are simply saying they are for the 3.6 gasser, like the Motobilt, Rockhard and...

I have decided on Warn and either the Zeon or Platinum. Warn says size the winch for 1.5 times GVWR. For a Gladiator, that means a 10K is fine. Others say go with 2 times GVWR. After looking at prices, I decided that I would pay roughly $100 more and get the 12K over the 10K and not worry...

I have not seen EPA mileage ratings on the Gladiator EcoDiesel, but the Jeep press release for the Farout Concept vehicle (in the general section) references a 28 MPG Highway rating on the vehicle as if it is a well known fact. Anybody seen anything more official on this?

I have made it 60 years on this earth and have never owned anything with a T-Slot rail. I have a Gladiator on order. It will have trail rails. I am planning to add the BAK Revolver X-4. It has T-Slot rails. The new Yakima cross bars (and others) have T-Slots. Vector makes a dash mounting system...

The followers of the EcoDiesel section of the forum have been musing about when we might get our diesels in our driveways. I figured this new thread would be a way those of us who have ordered ours can compare notes on the progress of building and delivering them. My loaded JT Rubicon...

The order book for 2021 Rubicons offers this enticing option. Unfortunately, not for the diesel. Even though I have an appointment to order my diesel in less than an hour, I am intrigued by this new option. Anybody know anything about it?

We know that the diesel adds 400 pounds to the Wrangler and that Jeep is changing the OEM suspension to accommodate the extra weight. I am thinking they will do likewise for the Gladiator and that working out the details of all of this might account for some of the time it is taking to get the...

Some of their products look just plain weird to me (and to others based on the posts I have read), but as I was doing my periodic search of all front bumper options, I came across the Matrix and there are some things I like about it. Space for four cube lights and the winch mounted low and not...

Truck Covers USA appears to be the option for a secure, retractable tonneau cover. I was wondering how they got around the fuel filler issue when others did not. When pondering the photo, it became clear to me. The side tracks on the cover extend 4 inches into the bed on either side, leaving a...
