  1. When the warrantee is gone...

    what amazes me the most is the fact that everyone has answered in a very cloned mind numbed robotic way. Did any of you ever consider I was never intending to keep it on the road? It is as though this is the only use for a truck. If everyone thought this then BIG FOOT would never have been...
  2. How long it would take Diesel Engine MPG to pay for itself

    Ah, but you see, I purchased my Gladiator from Charlie's Jeep in Augusta Maine and the little gas engine that could has a 3 year 30 something thousand mile from Jeep. Charlie's on the other hand extended that to 10 years 150,000 miles on the powertrain. I have a Jeep dealer 5 minutes from my...
  3. How long it would take Diesel Engine MPG to pay for itself

    This is a valid point, some of the tractor trailers in our fleet had literally no issues other than oil changes and wipers. I, however, just do not have that luck. If there were 10 diesel gladiators on a dealer lot and only 1 would have troubles, that is the one I would end up with. Thus my...
  4. How long it would take Diesel Engine MPG to pay for itself

    For a couple of years I worked for a large trucking operation in the service department and I witnessed the changes to the tractor trailers as they converted the fleet to DEF systems mandated by law. The cost in maintenance tripled for each truck. It is my firm belief there will be no savings...
  5. When the warrantee is gone...

    But it would not have solved the problem in the time frame I had to work with. You see, this is 2020. My wife was being moved to 2nd shift the following Monday. I had 6 days to deal with the issue. Regardless of if it would be covered, I needed dependable, reliable transportation for 2. A...
  6. When the warrantee is gone...

    So the vehicle I traded for the Gladiator was a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We made the last payment and THE NEXT DAY the pcm went mad. starting the car with NOTHING on, the wipers would go on high, the headlights to high beam, the ac to high fan, traction control off, abs warning, check engine...

  9. I need help!

    thinking about this from a machinist point of view, it could not hurt to check the run out of the rims. very often round things are not round! you found the tire had an out of round so check the t.i.r. on the rim where the bead is in both orientations. if a rim is warped at all it could be...
  10. Fire Extinguisher Mounting Location

    A long time ago I was sitting in a rest stop in PA on I 80 in my tractor trailer. A PA State Trooper came running up to my truck, Driver got your extinguisher!?! I put his patrol car out from an electrical fire while he disconnected the battery. A few months later I pull into a PA inspection...

  12. Anyone in here?

    Greetings from Maine. Just picked up a New Gladiator and have already taken it around Moosehead Lake and up around Flagstaff Lake in Maine. This is the 5th Jeep I have had and the wifey has a 2013 2 door. We always do a run up the mountain with our new Jeeps but I bought it too late to head...
