  1. Must have options from factory?

    Tow package. MUST have. Otherwise you don't get a receiver hitch, you only get the ability to mount a ball onto the bumper. LED lights - NOT worth it. For half or 1/3rd the money you can install aftermarket bulbs that blow the factory stuff away. Been there, done that. Cargo Management -...
  2. MBRP Filter Back Exhaust and AFE Charge Pipes

    Yes there is actually a product called mass air flow sensor cleaner that comes in a spray can and is available at auto parts stores.
  3. MBRP Filter Back Exhaust and AFE Charge Pipes

    Filters that use oil contaminate the mass air flow sensor because some of the oil gets sucked off of the filter and onto the filaments on the sensor. As far as power gains are concerned I'm betting that each of the filters available would give you the same power gain because if you look at the...
  4. Diesel Shut Down Buzzing Noise

    A brief electric motor type noise from the rear of the vehicle is most likely the butterfly valve in the tailpipe cycling. The Gen 3 engine uses this to create backpressure for the new low-side EGR intake. The longer lasting electric noise from the front of the vehicle appears to originate at...
  5. High mileage diesels?

    Highest mileage I've heard of is 80,000. Unfortunately the guy doesn't post on the forum much. He's driving constantly. I have about 24,000 combined miles on these Gen 3 engines myself, and the common timing cover leak is the only issue I've had.
  6. Draining water from separator ONLY when warned?

    Can you get to the drain petcock on the Jeep filter without removing the little skid plate? On the Ram you can, but I haven't inspected the Jeep yet.
  7. Confession

    I've looked at it three times. I don't see anywhere that indicates up and toward the vehicle. It clearly looks like it's illustrating to pull directly out of the filler neck to me.
  8. Gladiator Driver's seat is uncomfortable

    This is exactly what came to my mind when I got to post #10 in this thread. Guys who have never experienced L4/L5 disc rupture have no idea how important comfortable seating is. After I blew mine in my early 30s my priorities changed and seating comfort is now one of the first things I look...
  9. EcoDiesel Buzzing Sound from Engine After Shutoff

    Mine does it all the time. Popped the hood recently and noticed it's coming from the CP.4 injection pump. Or at least close to it.
  10. Gladiator Driver's seat is uncomfortable

    The seats themselves are hard and flat. But overall I'm more comfortable in the Gladiator than a lot of other trucks. I'm 6'3" 215. I did stack washers to recline my front seat 1/2 inch. And I've got a dead pedal.
  11. Jeep gladiator your first Jeep?

    Everybody in the country has always wanted a Jeep. But they were never practical. When they hung 4 doors on them in 2007 it opened up the door (no pun intended) for a lot of people. And then when they added a true pickup truck bed it opened the door to even more people. I think it was a very...
  12. 35s and No Lift Thread

    Did those balance out OK and roll smooth down the road? Last time I bought wheels from Q-tec they were so egg-shaped that you could literally watch them wobble as they spun on the axle.
  13. aFe Intake Diesel

    After waiting for months, I think my AFE intake is going to be delivered here to me next week. I got a mystery text from FedEx saying a package from Moreno Valley, CA is headed my way, and when I Google AFE's headquarters it pops up on the map not very far away from there. So I'm guessing this...
  14. Gorilla Glass an Order Option

    Will be interesting to see how these hold up. Gorilla glass has been garbage on iPhone screens for years. And a guy on the JL side posted a side view of the construction of a Gorilla windshield vs a standard windshield and there was only one minor difference in the form of a change in position...
  15. The most overloaded JT I have come across

    In most cases, it's 1000-1200 but I suppose it depends on options. The Gladiator usually has equal or more payload rating than a Power Wagon.
  16. The most overloaded JT I have come across

    I don't think this dude needs any further reductions in payload capacity. Lol.
  17. Jeep Wave Program Won't Rotate "Oversized" Tires (35ers)

    Yeah for real. Picking up a 35" tire and wheel combo is hell on a guy's lower back whether he's healthy or not, especially if the Jeep is up on the rack. I do my own rotations, but I do them in the driveway where I can sit on my butt and use my legs and arms both to hoist the tire a few inches...
  18. Jeep Wave Program Won't Rotate "Oversized" Tires (35ers)

    I mean, honestly, asking somebody else to rotate 100 lbs. of mass times 4 around YOUR Jeep is kind of a dick move. If you have a dealer willing to do that, make sure you thank them and be super polite at all times.
  19. The most overloaded JT I have come across

    All jokes aside, it is a little disheartening to see how weak the JT frame is. The frame of a truck should never be the weak link.
  20. Wheel Manufacturer Feedback & Sizing Question

    The factory offset is 44.45. The wheels are 7.5" wide. And the 285/70 stock tires are dead nuts even with the lip of the fenders. So... ANY increase in wheel width will give you some "poke", and any reduction in offset will also. A +25 offset is 1 inch farther out than stock, plus whatever...
