If OP was a girl, she would be the girl showing up to work with a black eye and saying " we were meant for each other, I cant leave him... were soulmates"?
Also, mine makes no noise even at light throttle up an incline or shifting early if the oil temp doesnt reach normal operating temperature. I would say around 200 is when it starts.
? mine def makes the noise on the lower rpm range and only on inclines but when mine make the rattling noise it sounds like it's coming from the middle of the jeep for some reason ?‍♂️. I have been under the jeep with a rubber mallet from where I hear the noise and nothing is loose so....
I understand what you meant, I'm sure some are shifting too soon. But the issue is why is it pinging in 1st gear? Obviously you would be burning the clutch if you took the rpm to 2.5k and started releasing the clutch, no? I understand how you can lug the engine in other gears but 1st gear was...
I shift at 3.5k rpms, so when it gets into the next gear it's still above 2k rpms shifting smoothly with match rev on the accelerator. Still pings underload for a sec or so, so you're saying I should shift at 4 to 5k rpms? It's not because were shifting too soon.... reguardless as stated before...
Lol, the main reason for me asking this is that I think a stock gladiator is ugly. By stock I dont mean a rubicon or a Mojave. Just the base model with the base rims and suspension, I'll let you have any options you want for inside the cabin.
Sorry, these would cost a lot to ship and I dont trust anyone for them to arrive without any damage. I wouldnt even ship them if you paid for shipping.
