  1. US investigating 781K Jeeps over underhood fire reports (Wrangler & Gladiator) -- power steering pump electrical connector issue

    "An Auburn, Washington owner told NHTSA a 2022 Gladiator after just 1,758 miles driven burned while parked next to the owner's house despite not having been driven for about two weeks." ...this is a concern.
  2. Have you had issues since you had the clutch recall done?

    For those saying the clutch feels "better", can you provide details as to how?
  3. Gladiator "Highspeed" test

    21mpg at 100mph?? I can't even get that at idle...
  4. Clutch recall driving review

    German Shepherd was standard option with the manual Sarge. ;)
  5. Clutch recall driving review

    Unfortunately I've heard too many exact-opposite stories, along with other new issues created by this recall. If I still have my Jeep on or about 80k miles, which for me is 10+ years for the low mileage I put on, I'll consider it. Also, why did it take them 4 days??
  6. A picture to let you know what Hooke Road does!

  7. 10psi tire pressure makes a difference...

    Oh my goodness, I leave for work and come back to people doing quantum physics in this thread... "...if Venus is aligned with Pluto, particle B quarks to the square root of..." Also some misinformation-- sidewall numbers are not maximum, and again they're LT "E" tires, so 45 is generally within...
  8. 10psi tire pressure makes a difference...

    I guess, to clarify... Nitto's I run, an LT "E" tire, are designed to have 45 psi, per the sidewall. The majority of us are running them lower, simply based on road comfort. So any additional wear and tear comes from under-inflating, not recommended specs.
  9. 10psi tire pressure makes a difference...

    I've been running 35 inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers at 33-35 psi on my Mojave the last 5k miles. I had my tires rotated (and rebalanced) this weekend, and immediately noticed the guy jacked my psi up to 45, which apparently is "recommended" for an LT tire. I figured it would feel like I was...
  10. PSA on Car Washes

    Once per year I get my vehicles fully-detailed and paint-sealed. After that, touchless car washes every month. This is not for aesthetics, but for salt/sand/bird droppings/pine sap/marmot footprints, etc. No issues and Jeep looks new. Will never again use one with the sandpaper rollers, or...
  11. My rant about local dealer and ext. warranty

    Their job is to ensure complaint threads don't blow up into larger issues for the company. Forums like this are basically an advertisement, where everyone should be talking positively about their Jeep experience. I'm not saying they're useless, but they're certainly not a "back door" customer...
  12. Storing my Gladiator for Several Years

    I kept mine while in service. In a barn. With a tarp. Turned out to be a very bad idea. Sell it. Or I can store it for you in my garage. I'll just need to move it a few times every week, to work and back. By the way, I'm a Pointer, too. Before I came to WA.
  13. Gladiator in Mojito?

    Considering how much people spend in mods, having your vehicle painted professionally in any potential color you want, isn't that much of a stretch.
  14. Need some assistance on which year to buy

    I understand what you're saying and would typically agree. But in this case, it's not really a first model year, though. Technically it is, theoretically it's not. The chassis is basically the same and they're dropping the drive train in from the Wrangler, which will have 3 years road testing.
  15. Need some assistance on which year to buy

    First of all, you're correct that the Gladiator is another poor sales year from being a collectible-- especially the 3.6. I'd go 2023, unless you really like the (very minimal) changes in the '24. All that said, since money doesn't seem to be a factor for you (not a slam, just an...
  16. It finally happened: I got ducked!

    There's been a lot of ducking going on lately in Spokane... Brace yourself.
  17. Done with Jeep

    So I came to the Gladiator from a Z71 Colorado diesel. No doubt about it, the Colorado was a much better overall vehicle. I traded it after 6 years knowing a major emission or (another) turbo failure was right around the corner, and I was already starting to experience the typical Chevy...
  18. Gladiator insurance still much higher than Wrangler?

    Insurance companies use algorithms among other things to determine your rate. Rates will slowly creep up until you notice. Unfortunately most people don't notice (or don't care) and they're gouged after a few years, believing bundles and other scam "discounts" are making a difference, only to...
