Loving our Icon Stage 7. Road driving is an absolute blast while still having top level off road capability.

Oil temps should never be more than coolant temps if the cooling system is engineered properly. I run 37"s on all my SD with 3.31 - 3.73. Older trans with less gear sets have a harder time carrying loads. As the newer designs have multiple gearsets carrying the load, displacing the energy...

I too have both. I felt that the GM LM2 feels more like an American industrial design diesel than the EcoDiesel does. The 3rd Gen EcoDiesel feels way better than it did in my nephew's RAM 1500. The GM is my daily driver and the Gladiator is our lifestyle rig. I haven't had a chance to tow...

I'd rather drop a trans really quick to swap it out than tear the entire front assembly apart. I can do it in a fraction of the time. I have a EcoDiesel Glad, two LM2 Sierra, and a LM2 Yukon showing up for the wife here in a couple weeks. We need to be grateful we still have diesel options in...

I went the high end with a Stage 7 Icon. I was thinking about it the other day and Jeep should make a max tow package with rear Leaf Springs for those overlanding and wanting to really tow. Coils are great for ride quality, desert, and sand. But it's 2020 and leaf springs can flex almost as...

Oh you are referring to me. lol I never changed my location back to Cali. I'm only 30 minutes from Hollister Hills.

How's Katemcy and Wolf Cave? I've got some property in Fredericksburg but never had a chance to go out to either and check out the trails.

Totally agree since it doesn't factor in how many less revolutions a diesel takes to create the force and energy that it creates compared to a gas mill that is turning twice as often to create that same energy and force.

With the excess torque of the diesels there is zero reason to put in lower gears unless actually using it to tow or overland with 37"s. This one will end up being my daughters when she graduates so will spend 95% of it life on the road. And even for that it's looking like oil cooling is going...

Torque is the amount of force being applied. HP is the amount of work getting done. Capacity is not the right word. Hence why toque ratings for bolts is the maximum amount of force applied as to not stretch, strip, or stress a bolt or part. Torque is needed to move dead weight and overcome...

If I push my SuperDuty 6.7's over 20 Psi when on a grade loaded my temps will start to rise and fans will kick on. Each platform is different but there is definitely a threshold on each platform that temps and friction will start to rise faster than the cooling system can do it's job.

No matter what don't blame manufacturers for problems we are experiencing due to unrealistic restrictions being thrown at them by the anti-science anti-engineers at the EPA and CARB. They are doing the best they can to provide the products that we want and need. Rather than complain we need to...

Oh and I've experienced little to no drop off in performance what so ever as far as the 37"s. These things are so much more fun with the EcoDiesel torque. Not a 392 by any means but actually gets with it unlike the base V6 gasser we have been stuck with forever.

Well thanks to Arabia's Overkill for installing the Icon Stage 7 system on our Glad. As always am absolutely impressed as hell with the system that Icon has engineered for the Gladiator/JL platform. This thing rides like a Cadillac now on the road. Haven't had it through the curves yet or off...

If I was to be using my Gladiator for towing and hauling I want a setup where my oil temps are always below my coolant temps like this. That way I know 100% if my oil cooling system or engine cooling system is having issues or needs attention. Note** this is on an extreme setup of a 500 rwhp...

2250 is usually the sweet spot. Looking at the dyno sheet for the EcoDiesel anything over 3000 RPM is just adding heat as the torque curve falls off. But it's looking pretty obvious that the overheating issue is due to an insufficient oil cooling system. Ours wasn't bought to tow, so I'm not...

Lets pray that would be awesome!

With the 6.0 the cooling system was completely overwelmed. With some of the newer HD trucks they have started using dual radiators and dual thermostats. But even that in extreme conditions we experience throughout the West and South you can see oil temps reaching over 240* which I don't like...

I just got off the phone with BulletProof Diesel and if there are any people in the Mesa, AZ or SouthWest region that have the means to allow them to take a look at their vehicle this is something they are very interested in helping us find a solution for. I'm all about looking for companies...
