Instead of going through the fill and paint hassle Iād probably just buy some bumper plugs that matched my paint https://bumperplugs.com/bumperplugs/bumperplugs-for-chrysler-dodge-jeep
Interested in your opinion on that mod! Howās the hwy noise open and more importantly closed? Why did you decide this instead of a sunrider (not second guessing you just curious)? When open do they bang in the top when open over large bumps or are there bumpers? It looks phenomenal.
Over simplifying the list of pros and cons is exactly what creates more bias and therefore more arguments. Iām just thankful, like you said above, we have a choice for now. Heavy means nothing to most, so agreeā¦but complexity and cost of repair does and will. Saying your PHEV gets XXmpg (in...
I agree with shadowspapa, itās hard to separate modern change from government regulation especially when it comes to vehicles these days. Funny is that usually the invention has nothing to do with government then all of a sudden someone elected or a part of governance tries to mandate it for...
First, I love my JTRD and for that fact my MT 911 and I plan to hand them down to my kids one day. Jeep enthusiasts, just like Porsche enthusiasts have been dreading this future. So much so in the Porsche world that Porsche brought back its MT in GT cars and then to the more plebeian variants...
Weirdā¦not troubleshooting with your equipment but to me sounds like intermittent power to the CVPM which is causing havoc to the settings within the BCM.
I really appreciate you breaking that down for me. As we move solidly into the hybrid only future, I want to compare apples to apples and not have differing math and expectations.
random questionā¦Does diesel also equate to 16.5kwh?
Can you please explain your math? You used 1/2 gallon of gas and went 21 miles with the assistance of another (battery/electric) source of energy? so you used 1/2 gallon of gas PLUS how much electricity? Iām not trying to be difficult just trying to understand what you are explaining.
Did you complete these mods? How difficult was it? Any noticeable performance/temp improvements?
anyone actually install AFEās cold air intake and have any real world results on our ecoDās? Assuming cold air intake does pretty much nothing just like in other applications.
Excellent build thread. When you added the USB power to the top of the dash, do you remember if the power harness you used was the factory power for the trailer brake option or was this a different harness? Im always looking for more optional power and have moved the 12v and installed the OEM...
I have a completely stock ā23 JTRD. Had it about a year and a half average 24.5mpg consistently with a pretty even split hwy/city. Where I live is AL it is actually fairly hilly (definitely not mountainous). Hwy is 70mph here and I usually am right around or just over, Jeeps are not meant for...
I have yet to find a start/stop system that didnāt feel/sound like the entire drivetrain was being destroyed when stating back up on anything other than flat terrain. This includes Jeep (PHEV and Diesel), VW, Porsche, Mercedes, or Honda. All sound and feel as if you are breaking the vehicle...
^^this is also why the start/stop stuff is pretty bad for the diesel or really any car or engine. I wonder how much energy it takes to make a starter vs how much you save with this required device. But you have hit on a very important issue: if we truly wanted to save the planet the PHEV...
Every source of energy collection and distribution has its advantages & disadvantagesā¦itās important to ensure we are having a full discussion when debating it. I think that is what most people on these threads are talking about. When people talk about ārenewableā energy they often skip on the...
My questions with that technology are endlessā¦like how will the EPA find fault with it to shut this down š since itās not full electric. Also, if I had a 28 gallon tank in my 3.0D how many miles could I go 28gal x 26mile/gal = 728miles. Iām guessing the Penstar would in current setup get the...
@jeepin48 thanks for putting together such an informative thread! Very insightful. I must say the first 73 pages very informative and solution oriented. It appears there are plenty of options out there if you love your 3.0D.
@steelponycowboy sorry about your bad luck but stop complaining on...
Just about every magazine which means thatās what Stellantis was telling them. Car and Driver, MotorTrend, etc all said it was a loaded rubicon. Some magazines even said it had full time 4WD which again wouldnāt even be in their thoughts is it wasnāt mentioned by Jeep reps...
