  1. German Overland build to explore Europe - EcoDiesel

    The first disable action listed (seatbelt) should disable both the door-open chime and the seatbelt chime. Update: Some content has been removed from this reply and will be reposted in a dedicated thread at a later date.
  2. German Overland build to explore Europe - EcoDiesel

    I like the color of the MOBY MOUNTAIN rooftop tent. It blends in with the landscape. Disable door-open and seatbelt chime Source: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/disable-ignition-chime.23031/ Post #4 written by jeepixel - This disables the chimes, but does not disable the...
  3. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    Agreed. Great video on the process. Thanks for sharing. As for the mileage & duration guidance in the article/video, it has been replaced by the guidance in the ZF LifeguardFluid 9 PDS. See doc #2 in ZF docs. Although this PDS was first published in July 2021, ZF reposted it to their...
  4. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    This is part of what I wrote in post #7 in this thread. It appears that ZF has stopped / will stop making the 8HP50 in Germany.
  5. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    The issue is that Jeep appears to disregard everything after the first sentence below. Also see doc #2 in ZF docs. 150,000 km = 93,000 miles (for normal driving). From page 1:
  6. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    Here is the same doc published 6 years later. In 2016: ZF included guidance on distance (km) and duration (years) In 2022: ZF removed guidance on distance and duration (this doc is attached to post #29 in this thread, and has been added as doc #4 in ZF docs); page 1 of 6 is shown below In...
  7. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    Sorry, but ZF does not say "lifetime 150K". They do say "lifetime oil", and then "150,000 km" (93,000 miles, for normal driving) in the same paragraph (nice doublespeak!!). Much lower for severe duty or heavy loads. For severe duty or heavy loads, the rule-of-thumb is about 40%-50% of normal...
  8. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    ZF tends to remove docs (when they need to be updated) and then repost them in a different place. If you run across the memo in the future, just DM it to me. I haven't had the ATF for the automatic transmission changed yet. I never thought that I would encounter a catch-22 in which the fluid...
  9. If its lifetime fluid why is this needed?

    Do you happen to have a link to the ZF memorandum? The best info (from ZF) on service intervals that I have is in the PDS for LifeguardFluid 9 (doc #2 in this post). I will add the ZF memo to that post. Also see post #7 in this thread.
  10. Does Royal Purple's rear gear oil have enough of a slip additive or will I need to add in addition to it?

    From Royal Purple: "Formulated with a friction modifier additive, therefore no additional additives are necessary."
  11. Fluid & Filter Preferences Explained - Jeep Gladiator 3.6L V6

    It was easier to answer based on the literal meaning. This is just one thread that got reset because someone asked me a question. Then ShadowsPapa broke out the popcorn, as he says. I wrote this post for people who click the link. The title is not misleading. It's not just for clicks. It...
  12. Fluid & Filter Preferences Explained - Jeep Gladiator 3.6L V6

    Out of 450K vehicles sold (382K in U.S. thru 2024), the audience is < 100 owners? Good one. For others who read this, check out my posts on Key Info and Links to Prices.
  13. Fluid & Filter Preferences Explained - Jeep Gladiator 3.6L V6

    Yeah, I've done a lot of technical writing. In the case of the Gladiator, I enjoy learning everything I can. For example, I had never heard or read a bad thing about AMSOIL Severe Gear until today. Now you have me curious. I think that people (who don't know almost everything) like to see...
  14. Fluid & Filter Preferences Explained - Jeep Gladiator 3.6L V6

    Aftermarket preferences, other than engine air filter, in original post above: In response to replies since post #23 This is a restatement of my aftermarket winners. The oil filter and the T-case fluid did not earn a special designation, such as "writer's pick", in my post on Links to Prices...
  15. Fluid & Filter Preferences Explained - Jeep Gladiator 3.6L V6

    Notes from the OP: 1. Most of the replies to this thread relate to the type of engine air filter (paper or oiled cotton) 2. The engine air filter debate will never end 3. If you decide to use an oiled cotton filter, review post #20, if necessary, for basic maintenance advice 4. Other product...

  17. Fluid & Filter Preferences Explained - Jeep Gladiator 3.6L V6

    Good question. You noticed that I reported observations without entering (or exiting) the off-road engine air filter debate. I posted the photos because I thought that the evidence would help some (on-road / daily driver) folks make a decision. As for the oil residue, I don't know whether it...
