I would assume we will hear something soon⦠we still have SEMA and the L.A. Auto show. I would hope they will have something sooner than later and not wait till E.J.S.
I ran the MotorMedic synthetic cleaner⦠not the best on the market but the Jeep was a rental (which we found out after) so I am trying to take extra care of it as I plan on keeping this for a long time⦠plus building it up!
There is quite a bit of sludge in the pleats plus that tiny bit of metal⦠I change it every 3 months which is usually about 2K miles as my commute is only 12 miles round trip.
I will be looking into a magnetized drain plug and see if anything comes out on thatā¦
Also I used an oil cleaner the...
I bought the Jeep about a year and a half ago and have been doing oil changes every 3 months or for me about 2K miles as all of my driving to/from work is about 12 miles round trip⦠the coolant temp just gets up at the time Iām pulling into work.
Iād like to keep this truck for a long time and...
So Iām
So I assume itās ok to keep driving? Like I said nothing out of the normal except for what I found⦠and if I didnāt look at the filter I would never have found thisā¦
I actually have a black stone kit at home I was going to use for my last truck but sold it for my gladiatorā¦
I just did my oil change (I run Mobil 1 oil/filter)
and found a very small amount of metal in the filter⦠itās not magnetic, and not on every plate but more than I would like to seeā¦
2020 sport 3.6L with 60,424 miles
So Iām out of warranty but does anyone know what it could be? No noises and no...
I prefer surface shield, ive had really good luck with it and my opinion is it works the best of all of them.
If you like to do your own wrenching I would recommend just a wire wheel and rustolium spray paint or their hammered texture in the pint that you paint/roll on⦠works wonders and avoids...
60K on my 2020 Gladiator and my wife has 19K on her 2021 Grand Cherokee⦠also we had a 2012 Grand Caravan with the 3.6 w/160K when we got rid of it and the only maintenance I did was spark plugs, the front half of the rocker arms and a thermostat⦠other than general maintenance the motor was...
I live in NH and in the springtime through late fall I am naked most every day⦠this year was a little more rainy than most years but as often as I can there is nothing on my gladiator!!
Whole reason why I bought it was I get a truck but can be open to the world⦠now just need a lift and bigger...
Super cars and hyper cars actually throw more road debris than a lifted truck with big tiresā¦
A big mud tire will only throw āstonesā if you jus came out of gravel/mud but the cars and there super sticky car tires will throw anything thatās on the road⦠I live in NH and weāre not supposed to...
Well thatās good to know, only took 5 years to figure that out⦠lol. But seriously, why so much variance between all the 3.6s?
We used to have a 2012 Grand Caravan with the 3.6 and that was just over 6 quarts in the middle of the hash marks⦠just find it soooo weird. Thanks for your feedback, I...
The 3.6 has varying levels depending on make and model⦠my ā20 Gladiator takes (manual says 5 quarts) just under 5 quarts and my wifeās GC with the 3.6 takes almost 6 quarts (manual says 5.9q)
When I bought my Gladiator used I changed the oil within the first month of ownership but did notice...
Iāve been ducked 4 times total, all during the summer so I think for me up here in NH itās just too cold for people to take the timeā¦
Also not sure if anyone else has noticed but the whole duck thing has moved on too not only other jeeps but vehicles like the Mini cooper⦠have a friend that gets...
You nailed this on the head⦠I run Amsoil SS in mine but I donāt plan on ever getting ride of my Gladiator!! Unless they discontinued it then I may run out and buy the last one to have forever!!
Personally on my Gladiator I do every 4 months which is about 2K miles for me⦠my wifeās GC with the 3.6 is every 4 months @ around 4K.
If you talk to mechanics that replace engines, the ones that fail are the people doing extended OCIāsā¦
āDONT FOLLOW YOUR GUAGE CLUSTERā
Now if your doing...
I use and swear by Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic spray. This can be used on everything on the outside of the truck so itās a one and do everything! The hydrophobic properties are absolutely incredible, itās not as hard or obviously long lasting as an actual āceramicā coating but for $15 a...
I have a 2020 Gladiator and my wife has a 2021 Grand Cherokee and her intake sounds absolutely incredible⦠Iāve been looking to see if the intake off the GC would fit on the Gladiator??⦠anyone tried this yet??
