  1. EcoDiesel Engine Block Heater-Where's The Plug?

    Thank you so much for kindly answering my question, and so quickly! Your pic is definitely worth 1,000 words! I found it instantly. It looks like it will be easiest to simply route the pigtail underneath the hood, right above the passenger fender. Looks to be enough of a gap there, even with...
  2. EcoDiesel Engine Block Heater-Where's The Plug?

    Hi, Gang! Happily took delivery of my 2021 JTRD a few days ago. My build sheet does show the 'Engine Block Heater' option ($95). For the life of me, I cannot find the plug. I think the factory pigtail should be sticking out of the front grill, like on my Ford F450 Power Stroke. Anyone else have...
  3. GECKO GREEN Gladiator Club

    Ordered my 2021 Gecko JTRD mid-July, and she just came in at my dealer a few days ago. Really love the ecoDiesel! Started her up this morning when it was 35 degrees F, and that motor sounds as noisy as an old school bus with a nice huge Cummins diesel. JTRD was thankfully still very noisy when I...
  4. Show me your Antennas?

    Very nice? Do you have a puc of your Thanks, Radio Guy. Very nice set up you have, all the way around! So, my radios are used in Part 90 commercial service. The Motorola APX8500 shipped from Motorola with their included standard mobile quad band antenna (with standard NMO mount). We will use...
  5. Show me your Antennas?

    Can we kindly see a pic of the interior of your JT to see the radio control heads, 2M/440 and HF, pretty pls? My JTRD Gecko arrived at my dealership today, and I plan to mount a Motorola APX8500 HP (110 watts) quad band radio, and a Micom 3T, with the Motorola WIMA HF antenna. I love picking...
  6. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    Obviously, there’s a few different viewpoints on this heat soak subject, but however the system works, how long does the coolant circulate after you shut-off the motor? Is it a fixed time, or variable, and if it’s the latter, is it based on thermal conditions at whatever points in the motor, or...
  7. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    So, how come we see so many similar posts here where folks with diesel JT cars stop to fill up with diesel, then it goes into limp mode, soon after they pull away from the gas station, presumably becase the turbo has overheated. One guy called this sinking.
  8. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    So, does the 2021 JTRD have a fully automatic Jeep onboard turbo temp monitoring system, whereby when you stop, like to fill up, etc., the 'computer' will automatically contiue to circulte the coolant, run the engine, and whatever else might be necessary, all fully automatically, unitl it is...
  9. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    OK, gotchya. You’re saying the Rubi market with M210 is just too small. I get that point, but my understanding is the HD AdvanTEC M210 crate axle (without FAD) is made for a lot of vehicles other than just the Jeep JT/JL, which is why there is no FAD on that product in the first place.
  10. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    Why would no FAD limit interest for someone with a 2018+ JT with the wide M210? My understanding is the only con with no FAD is your mpg might decrease, like about one-tenth of a mile per gallon. I doubt very may folks running 37's would give a rip about such a small decrease in MPG. What am I...
  11. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    OK, that’s great news! That will definitely save me some $’s! I was just reading in the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mopar JPP accessories catalog under the description for the ā€˜JPP Ultimate Dana 44 AdvanTEK axle assembly,’ it says: ā€˜ā€¦The high-clearance carrier design adds an additional half-inch of...
  12. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    So, the bottomline to change from 373 to 488: 1-A new carrier is definitely required 2-It will fit in the existing differential case 3-The 488 ring and pinion set will also fit inside the existing diff 3-Therefore, the existing front axle (and its front diff) is fine, as is, so long as a new cxr...
  13. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    Thanks very much for all of this kind input, but going from 410 to 488 gearing is not the exact same scenario as going from 373 to 488. And, was this work done by an authorized Jeep dealer, using all Mopar parts? For full warranty protection, it appears I may have to change out my entire OEM...
  14. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    Heck, even the XR with its puny little 315X70R17’ is running 456. But, I digress. I’m still not hearing from anyone who has done what I plan to do with all parameters the same, such as 2018+, which is an different animal than the pre 2018 axle.
  15. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    But, we must compare apples to apples. I’m referring to the NEW 2018 and up Dana 44 Ultra M210 wide front axle, diesel, Rubicon, Gladiator. Pre-2018 axles could be a different story.
  16. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    I may be wrong, but I believe gas Rubis are OEM 410, which is not 373.
  17. JTDR with 373 Conversion to 488: Requires Entire Front Axle Changeout

    So, I’m going to be changing out the stock Falken 33 MT’s on my soon to arrive 2021 JTDR to 37X12.50R17 shoes, and have my dealer install the 2 inch Mopar lift kit. I also plan to immediately change out the OEM mandatory stock 373 gearing (that is the only option on the JTDR) to 488 to...
  18. Accent colors gone wrong

    Hydro Blue is The Bomb as an accent color on a Gecko Gladiator!
  19. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    I totally agree the software should be updated to let the driver know to pull over for an adequate cool down period. But, better yet, maybe the underlying problem can be solved. I don’t really see a way this can realistically happen though on existing inventory. Maybe 2023 model? I could...
