For sure! But I think the debate was the physical removal of the EGR components after having them written out of the tune and how a certain French Canadian addresses people in condescending tones.
So when I was talking to Martin about a tune, he told me I was silly for suggesting to write out the swirl valves and throttle plate but he could do it if I really wanted to waste my time doing it. The reason he gave was negative impact on efficiency and possible smoke. A year later, I'm getting...
Also off of the Cades Cove loop is Rich Mountain Road.
Both of these are nice, easy trails with great off highway views.
Since you'll be in the area, Abraham's Falls is a great hike with a rewarding cool down at the destination.
My gladiator came with these in 35x12.50. I'd say they're ok, not great. Running them at 30-32psi to satisfy the chalk test but even then the contact patch is a little odd with feathering on the shoulder lugs. They sound like a swarm of bees following me in the highway, not that I have a problem...
An excellent reply! Thank you for pointing this out. I was overly simplistic in my assessment and acknowledged the effect while forgetting the cause. You are very much correct about overzealous regulations leading to complex and expensive compromises.
I believe your second argument points back...
This is all good info. Thank you for the reply.
I hate when "smart" means too complicated to work in real world conditions. I don't want to be the old man yelling at clouds over here but this is a system that was figured out long ago and worked fine until all of this ESS and dual battery...
That is an interesting data point. I'll store that away for future troubleshooting. But in this case my fuel gage showed >3/4 so probably wasn't it.
As an update, overall, after my 35 mile round-trip commute yesterday, the truck remote started without issue today. It timed out and when I got...
I, too, thought it was a bit low. I had no problem remote starting it yesterday. Temp was 25F and I started it twice and let it run to de ice it. No issues. That's why it surprised me today. Is it possible it took more to crank twice than it charged in 30 minutes of running?

All was well until today when it was 8F outside. Remote start failed to start truck twice. One honk and no attempt to crank. Got in and it...
As a side note, if you've got a spray in bed liner, pick up a tap to clean the threaded holes. Many folks have had difficulty trying to thread hardware into junked up holes.
Did you have any symptoms ahead of time? I ask because my 21 JTRD is having what seems to be intermittent pump drop out. Typically between forward and reverse gears, though lately with the cooler weather, it's been from Park to traveling gears, lasting up to a couple seconds.
Not necessarily replying to you, specifically, but jumping into this general discussion...
It's my understanding that the lithium is the best part of the concoction that makes up Li-ion batteries. My understanding is the cobalt that goes into them is where the abhorrent mining conditions exist...
Looking forward to some good Black Friday deals!
Nice job on streamlining your SMS notification process. The clever use of web links to easily sign up and add your contact info on customer devices is genius.
I just did the aux delete yesterday, too. Went with the Duracell 94r/H7 and couldn't be happier.
I'm always hesitant to get the cheap knockoffs of a well known product. The auto stop eliminator https://www.autostopeliminator.com/collections/jeep?filter.p.m.custom.model=Gladiator is what the...
After taking into account losses from transmission, gears and tires, this sounds about right for stock engine.
It would be fun to see what a level 2 tune with 37s and corrected gears is putting down
