  1. aux dies every 5k miles neg lead reads 22v! delete doesnt work help!

    Sounds very odd to me. Here are some thoughts off the top of my head. What is an Li Battery? Li usually means Lithium but we don't have a lithium battery, just lead acid AGM. Are you sure the main (and Aux) batteries are connected properly? Neither is in backwards? It kind of sounds like the...
  2. Wicked pop sound

    Mine has been making a pop sound for the past few months. I can sometimes get it to do it one time in the morning by jumping on the right side of the rear bumper, but only once (on the first downstroke) and not again. It sounds like it is coming from the right side underneath somewhere near the...
  3. Vehicle build sheet

    If you would like to get it straight from the source vs going through somebody's website. Build Sheet (as posted earlier): https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin= Window Sticker: https://www.jeep.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin= Put your VIN at the end of...
  4. Vehicle build sheet

    See if this site works for you. It still pulls up my 2023 build sheet and it worked for a 2020 I found on Carmax. Put your VIN at the end of the link. The build sheet is not all that detailed, though. It does not have every part on the vehicle listed by part number, just a high-level list of...
  5. Nnnooo!!! Corrosion!

    If Jeep installs the zinc shim between unpainted surfaces, they are still f'ing us over. It is a sacrificial anode and will eventually corrode away, but it will be after the corrosion warranty expires. My doors are okay so far, I think. They have the zinc shim. The edge of my hood has a small...
  6. Gladiator under seat storage? From factory?

    More realistically you can get one new for around $150 from the Mopar online stores.
  7. Interesting Viewpoint

    You told your Jeep you didn't want it to do all that stop/start nonsense. It doesn't listen and does the same thing over and over again, making you madder each time. Your wife doesn't understand the problem. Maybe there is an analogy in there someplace.
  8. Gladiator under seat storage? From factory?

    I had the lockable storage and replaced it with the open bin. The lockable storage compartment is too small for my needs. I suppose it might stop casual theft if the doors or top are off but it wasn't very useful for me and I don't keep anything valuable in my Jeep. I might get around to...
  9. Making a quiet Gladiator

    Give it time. With the passage of time everything gets quieter, though, paradoxically, your ears get bigger. Squeaks, wind whistling, and fan belts chirping all magically quit happening. Road noise in general becomes lower in volume. It takes a lifetime of training to accomplish this level of...
  10. What brand of torque wrenches do you all like?

    Hard to go wrong with one of those. Quick and easy and you can see the torque being applied as you do it, never having to worry if it is out of calibration or stuck/broken (i.e., never going to click).
  11. What brand of torque wrenches do you all like?

    Flame war? Tool choice is hardly worthy of a flame war, unlike engine oil viscosity or differential gear ratio. My preference has become Icon split beam torque wrenches. I got tired of micrometer torque wrenches, having to twist the handle so many times to dial in the torque. Plus the split...
  12. What winter kit do you keep?

    It is hard to get far enough away from civilization around here to require carrying a lot of survival or winter gear. My gear is year round and more for breakdowns than survival or winter: basic tools, flashlights, tire plug kit, tire gauge, portable air compressor, code reader (JScan on my...
  13. Did the previous owner install the wrong lift on my 2022 Willys?

    It doesn't hurt to have mutiple threads about the same subject. The really long threads are hard to get through with so many pages of posts to read. It is difficult to be sure you're not repeating something someone else said 50 posts before, and those long threads often veer off the subject...
  14. Tazer Mini Problems with ESC "Full Off"

    My JT (maybe all of them for all I know) has an ESC "full off" mode by holding the button for 5 seconds. One more press will turn ESC "on" again. The Tazer Mini has this same feature (one of the "live" features) except that it causes a bunch of warning lights to light up on the dash and the ESC...
  15. I need to replace my rear Mopar lift springs

    Confused. I like the way it rides I tow maybe half time which I use airbags for and am happy with that I am not interested in going with a heavier spring Does not lead to "I need to replace the coil springs now." It sounds like you are very happy with what you have now.
  16. Anyone finding success with Thorton Chip Tuning?

    And now I am getting ads from them on Facebook. Just goes to show how carefully we are watched.
  17. Anyone finding success with Thorton Chip Tuning?

    From their website for the Jeep "chip": When the chip is plugged into your car’s OBD2 port, it receives real-time data through the OBD2 connection allowing the chip to study your driving habits and modify signals sent to your vehicles ECU. By safely optimizing functions such as the ignition...
  18. Show me your high mileage 3.6 with oil recommendations !

    Engineers I trust, at least when they are out of earshot of management. Management and manufacturers I do not. There are competing and conflicting goals in engineering and business. Make it too robust and it costs too much to produce, but it would last a long time. Use a thicker oil and it...
  19. Show me your high mileage 3.6 with oil recommendations !

    I've watched his videos. The ones I saw provide general information with some positives and negatives to be considered. They are interesting and informative but I did not see one specifically about 3.6L cam failures where his testing showed that 0W20 is the bees knees for this engine. You...
  20. Show me your high mileage 3.6 with oil recommendations !

    While all that is true, there is also zero evidence (known to us) that higher viscosity doesn't help. Maybe it isn't a cure-all, but that doesn't prove it doesn't help. Everything being said about higher viscosity oil being better is anecdotal ("it sounds quieter to me with 5W30 so it must be...
