  1. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I have nearly 50K in adds but am now pursuing a federal lemon law action against Jeep which won't require a buy back but will result in a cash settlement
  2. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    JEEP knows this was and would be an issue before the 1st diesel Jeep.was built, yet they still built it, sold it and gave it an unrealistic tow rating. Anyone who says they tow and never debated is a liar. They all will do this as oil temps rise automatically by the PCM to protect the engine...
  3. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    No you are correct but enough people have had major issues. My warranty claims now total more than I paid for the Jeep new. BTW Jeep doesn't care never had any luck with them before and even less this time
  4. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Plenty of people have issues, I'm not alone and no never had CP4 failure. Diagnosis from day one have been correct and every dealer that's worked on it say the eco in Jeeps is a POS
  5. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I just wanted a Gladiator nothing to tow or haul heavy loads. 6000lb tow rating and it struggles with 2500 on hills and mountains. However it's now spent over 140 days at dealers and is still in the shop as we speak going on 30 days waiting on parts that have a National back order and won't be...
  6. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    NOT just my dealer but dealers all over the country. My usual breakdown is 1000 or more miles from home. 1st DPF issue at 8k miles. This last DPF filter lasted 150 miles and was told that the injectors failing ruined the DPF filter. They fail often enough that many parts departments stock...
  7. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Yes every car mfg had issues. The Gladiator and the diesel in particular has a greater instance of warranty issues than any other Jeep model. That with struggling sales that continue to drop year after year is on reason that 2026 will be its expected last year of production. Many diesel...

    One of the excuses was towing. I regularly tow a 2500lb trailer. Blamed that on trans failure and DPF not regen.
  9. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I've been told by more than one dealer it was a POS in the Jeep and by a mid manager at Stellantis that it never should have been put in a Jeep. The pump is a common Bosch pump that Jeep stalled and the Feds stepped in. I am on my 4th DPF now and it has cost Jeep.more to.fix all the issues...
  10. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Excuse me thought you said it was aluminum. However of it helps cooling then why didn't rock-hard add them from the factory. Next time I see James the owner I'll ask him. It's my understanding and maybe you are a structural engineer, I'm not that holes do affect integrity when they are just...
  11. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    All well and good and creative on your part BUT you've not only compromised the strength of the bumper but also voided any warranty on it at the same time. I appreciate Bulletproof Diesel coming up with the fix which I brought to their attention as a problem early in 2021 when they went over my...
  12. Jeep Arbitration Board

    Jeep Wave sucks. They've been little or no help to me over the last 3 years of major.breakdowns with my diesel.JT. Been trying to call them for 3 weeks and they no longer take messages, tell you all are.busy call back later. The diesel was axed because it has so many problems. With mine in...
  13. Manual Transmission Discontinued for 2025

    Well I was told by good friends that live in Eoropr that it's still being.sold.there and else where. If what you say is correct it just adds to its legacy as the biggest POS diesel Jeep ever used afer Do you really think Jeep cares?
  14. Manual Transmission Discontinued for 2025

    So you are right about the auto vs manual but wrong about the diesel. Jeep abandoned the diesel only in the North American market but it still thrives everywhere else in the world for 2024 and 2025, even Europe where the clean diesel standards are higher than ours. The US diesel was dropped...
  15. Towing capacity -- aftermarket hitch vs. factory tow package?

    Diesel issues aside, their are the transmission issues. The diesel has the HD transmission which doesn't hold up towing less than half the stated tow rating. With your trailer that loaded probably skirts the top of the limit, I'd be concerned with the light duty transmission behind the gas...
  16. Towing capacity -- aftermarket hitch vs. factory tow package?

    I have a diesel Rubicon. The Rubi has all the MaxTow stuff standard with the Rubicon package except the Class 4 hitch which comes with the tow package. Having said that, towing a 3000lb trailer has taken its toll on the wanna be truck. Dealer said my issues were due to towing, increased...
  17. Extension for the factory trailer brake wiring harness?

    I just bought the Redarc controller and their JT cable. The Redarc Tow Pro Elite has the following features which I felt were worth the extra $. I mounted the remote knob under the start button to the left of the cig lighter plug. REDARC Tow-Pro Elite is the first of its kind to offer two...
  18. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Nope my camper shell weighs 352 lbs. I only tow on the highway never off road and tires are 35s. No extreme use at all. 30 mpg must be stock. There are more issues with the 3.0 than you realize. It's why they dropped it. It still meets smog requirements and they had nothing to replace it...
  19. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    The big difference in the Ram is the cavernous engine compartment which is why the 3.0 does so well in the Ram and doesn't suffer the same issues the JT has. It was a bad choice to put the 3.0 in the JL/JT and Jeep gave up on it in the US only in 2023
  20. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I know too many with the LS swap that have issues. One caught fire others with integration issues with Jeeps electronics, etc Hemi seamlessly integrates with JL, no issues and passes smog easier since it was used factory in Jeeps
