They had a diesel that they choked down with smog crap. Dumb Europeans running the place

I’m in Alaska and as some of our Canadian Brethren in the North country can testify to, the last thing you want to do in cold temps is use a remote start! We have to preheat our vehicles before starting. Good way to wreck your engine!

I mount heat pads on all my vehicles. You plug the truck or car in long enough to get warm enough to avoid damaging it. The block heater is for coolant, the heat pads are for oil pans and batteries.

Now you need to delete that poor diesel, so it can breathe. I did my 23JTRD right after it turned 9K. No more check engine lights over smog crap

A word to the wise with old dynamite…nitroglycerin sweats in the heat… the crystals that form (on the surface) after it sweats out of the absorbing material, are extremely unstable. Just picking it up out of the case is enough to set it off! Don’t do that!!!

what engine are you referring to?

A couple of aluminum trailers, both are 16’ long (18’ to the V). One flatbed, one enclosed.

We have heaters or pads on everything up here, you have to plug it in to get anywhere

Our turbine aircraft have a warm-up button you push, located on the outside of the battery case. So while you were preflighting you had to remember to hit the button. They would spin twice as fast as the lead or agms

You have to wake up the LiPo4 in the cold. Turn the lights on or just create a small draw. 10 - 15 min or so. Most all of our turbines were on Lipo4s and used 200+ amps to start. The lithiums are better than the lead acid in the cold. My snowmachine has a small LiPo4

I’ve got a few of the lithium LiPo4 batteries and charge them with the Battery Tender. You would not want to use a battery minder on them. Also the NOCO chargers have a cold temp cutoff! Doesn’t do me much good in Alaska.

Built up some ramps with 2X10”s, trying to get the jeep up enough to spray with undercoating. Using the Under Gone, by salt be gone.

Being stubborn and not using a lubricant in your diesel… means you should be driving the gas soccer mom - mini van engine.

Well I think the pump failure answers the question about using lubricants. I’ve been running 2cyl motor oil, 1oz to 1gal diesel. The modern diesel fuel has been stripped of most all lubricants. Up north where I live, the Arctic grade diesel is very dry. We have always used some type of lubricant...

What kind of lubrication are you using in your fuel?

The diesel tows just fine. Much nicer to drive then my full size truck.

What model Gladiator did you end up with? My 23 JTRD has a Smartcap and RTT, stock tires, 10K winch and stock Rubicon suspension. Is also deleted with an EOC #2 Tow. Works just fine for towing/ overlanding. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Mine only has 10K miles, so haven’t worn...

The temp range on your gear oil chart is only good down to temperate range.

What weight is that redline? I picked up a bunch of quarts of synthetic 75W-90 last year. The stuff was almost the same price as the dino oil! I’m in the cold country and need the lower poor point of the synthetic.
