Dyno's can be tricked. You just change the atmospheric settings. You can make a Geo Metro show 1000 HP if you want. I don't use a dyno to show me actual power. I use it to show me delta's while tuning. Given that all environmental conditions remain the same while tuning.

You seem to think there is some kind of design flaw. Nailing water/mud at speed has been killing vehicles since forever.

You can't own a HD without also owning HD boots, jacket, shirts, belts, jeans, socks, sunglasses, toothbrush, christmas ornament, wall signs (neon, wood and metal), mailbox, door placard and dick tattoo.

I already have a trail rig. I'll take care of my Gladiator. Paint included.

I don't know of a single vehicle where the alternator is "protected". It's usually mounted up high, but that doesn't protect it. Water itself won't kill an alternator. Dirt, metallic and magnetic material, gravel will. The other problem with running through water at speed is water can make it...

Just to add these JT's have very thin and soft water based clear coat. If you ever do need a full correction done consider it a one time deal. There's only like 2 mils of clear coat to work with. If you're going to run through brush washes it's a good idea to get a ceramic coating. At least...

The sensor is internal in the diff housing. Dust would have no effect. You case just sounds like a bum locker. One of the drawbacks of E-Lockers, they go bad quicker than other options.

It's not the driving through mud that is an issue. It's the speed at which it was done. Look at my profile pic. See my front wheel? It's not black like it should be. I drove through soupy ass mud that was about 12-14" deep. Notice my Jeep is not covered in mud as well? That's because I drove...

Marketing aside. There is a difference between a part failing because it was defective, and a part failing because the operator caused the failure. Simply because something is marketed as being "off road capable" does not mean you can just run it however you want without liability. Learn to...

Considering the electrical system of the vehicle was compromised, and everything is connected via canbus, yes, his seatbelts are now compromised. The entire vehicle is going to be one giant gremlin of issues for the rest of it's life until the entire electrical system, every plug and connector...

It's a Gladiator. Not a $1,000,000 Trophy truck. It's on the owner to understand the limits of their vehicle. Not FCA to pay for stupidity.

Modern turbo's don't lag. Not anymore. Variable vane, hybrid setups can net you max boost wherever you want it in the RPM range. Prime example is the Ecoboost motor. K04 turbo's, which is basically a T3/T4 hybrid, produces 15 PSI at 1700 RPM in that application.

I've had a K&N oiled filter in my 2012 JK since day 1. Over 120k miles on it, with Blackstone tests done at every oil change, engine is perfect. I've been in some nasty dusty conditions in Uwharrie. Never once have I noticed any dirt in the intake, throttle body or upper plenum that made it past...

And again. Just because something is marketed that it can be used a certain way does not make the manufacturer liable for repairs when used in those ways. The "Track Mode" on a C8 doesn't mean GM is going to fix your Corvette if you blow it up while running 180 MPH on the track. In fact they...

I've been to some of those events. You sign a waiver than you accept full responsibility for any damages to your vehicles.

Maybe not come at OEM equipment on vehicles, but aftermarket use has been around forever. Lots of off-road vehicles and dirt bikes still use oiled media filters as standard equipment. Industrial compressors and machine equipment. Lots of uses.

What's your point? Nothing has come 360. Oiled media filters have been around forever and will continue to be used.

Never post something on a public forum that you don't want to forever be archived somewhere else. Pretty much the second you post it a web crawler will pick it up and archive it. Whether that be with web.archive, Google, M$ or any number of other companies. Forum's with paywall's help a bit.

The other thing they look for that's a tell tale sign it's been in soupy mud is hoses. Hot hoses expand. When those hoses get covered in mud that mud then gets trapped in the rubber when the hoses cool. Pretty much impossible to clean them. Radiator hoses are usually the snitch.

It's not just the transmission learning your driving habits. It's also the throttle body. Even in my Ram I find that sometimes there's just a disconnect between the two. I generally drive very conservatively. I don't beat on my vehicles on the street. That being said, what a tech told a previous...
