Copy on the good deal on the Chevy. The new Chevys with the AFM & DFM are so problematic, it is not worth taking a chance on, IMHO. Too bad, and as I have mentioned before, the 350's without the AFM years ago were easily 200 to 300K mile engines. Funny how quality has gone downhill. China, I...
Thanks for the welcome back, Phil! Glad to have the new Gladiator and just kind of making it mine a little at a time, as funds allow! The more I drive it, the more I realize how much fun it really is! Take care and have a great weekend!

Thanks for the information and research. Sounds like it was a problem before and not one that affects our current, or at least my 2024 Gladiator. I believe that Bill mentioned pre 2022 and the video is saying that upgrades were done around or after 2018. I am not worried about this; however I...
Thanks Again Bill. Yes, if we ever do get a camper, it will probably be a Class C. For now though, motels are in my future...LOL!!! Sounds like a great cat and companion for sure!
You are confirming what I have read, Michael. Lots of trouble with GM engines. I have had good luck with Fords overall though. I really like their 5.0 coyote V8's. I have heard good things about the RAM trucks and glad the RAM diesel is working out great for you! Never had a RAM truck, maybe...
Thanks Bill. I think the Willys will be a good option for me. I traded in the white 2021 Rubicon JT on a 2022 Ford Ranger Tremor at the time to get money back, which I did to the tune of $10K, to help with one of my dog's double knee surgeries. Sheesh, that was over $8K. And then I traded the...
Thanks Mark! Like the looks of the red! Yes, the quality of the Chevrolet trucks has went downhill lately. Their turbomax 4 cylinder engine is good, but the 8 speed transmission that it is mated to is having ongoing issues. And the 5.3 and 6.2 V8's, are having lifter failures / camshaft damage...
Well, after having a Rubicon JT previously and again later a Sport JT, I now have just traded for a 2024 Willys JT in Firecracker Red! The new Jeep is awesome and I hope to keep this one a long time. I traded a newer Chevrolet Silverado 1500 this last time and was very disappointed in all the...
I never ended taking it to the dealer as I was planning on doing to be honest. I read so many reports on others having the same issue, I kind of gave up. However, when I would fill it with gas, I would run the pump fairly fast and once it stopped or automatically shut off, I stopped putting gas...
I would personally take the buy back. Take your extra parts off and take the $58K and buy a newer Gladiator, or sell your parts and buy something different if you want. With prices on Gladiators being discounted currently, I would buy a brand new one! Just my opinion, YMMV!
Add me to the list on my 2023 Gladiator Sport S. I have about 2000 miles on it and has happened to me 3 times. This is unacceptable. Going to have to take it to the dealer soon. Sheesh....
Sheesh, I must be the odd ball here. I like my Jeep Gladiator clean and all shined up. I for now do have a pavement princess and I love the way it looks clean. However, black is a bit tough to keep clean, but I like shiny and no tree pinstripes. I know, I am driving around in a Cadillac...
Well, I started out cleaning off the bugs off the windshield, then the grill, then the next thing I know, I have a clean and shiny JT! No trail pics, just driveway pics for now!!!
I really love my Jeep Gladiator, however I have always liked Fords as well.
I have had probably about 5 or 6 Ford Mustangs and had a new 2012 GT500 at one time too!
This commercial from Ford back some time ago, I really liked when it came out and I came across it again today.
Shows what many...
