  1. Torsen/TrueTrac helical limited slip differential?

    Do you remember where you may have seen that? I have a JT Sport 6MT and I would really like a TrueTrac for the rear axle for it. Thanks
  2. Clutch- expected durability w/ unintended abuse?

    Thanks, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that the clutch isn't from Aisin, especially in the Jeep but possibly not even in the Frontier, but I don't have any way to know for certain. I've decided not to worry in the immediate term...
  3. Clutch- expected durability w/ unintended abuse?

    Thanks for the heads up. I had the 8 speed auto in my 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel and it was by far the best AT I've ever driven. But I am really enjoying the MT. Guess that for both reasons of reliability and a more likeable clutch, I should put that Centerforce clutch on my to-do-eventually goal list.
  4. Lets talk manual transmission and stalling.

    I'd also found that video and it is impressive what a difference it makes. I like engines with abundant torque at low RPMs, and while the heavier flywheel won't ever give the 3.6 as much _sustained_ low end torque as I would like, it might give a better approximation of brief low-end torque...
  5. Clutch- expected durability w/ unintended abuse?

    Thanks again for the input. I've managed to never previously be anywhere near that rough on a clutch, so it's helpful to know that it was an ordinary bonehead occurrence and not a severe-damage bonehead occurrence.
  6. Lets talk manual transmission and stalling.

    The Centerforce clutch is shouting my name, but it's way not at the top of my priority or budget list, at least not right away. I'm not sure if the weirdness of this clutch is from having a dual mass flywheel, I don't think that anything I have driven before had a dual mass flywheel, at least...
  7. Clutch- expected durability w/ unintended abuse?

    Thanks! I did ask at the JL forum also, only got one response, but between there and here, my worry level has dropped. If I were sure that this was a rugged truck clutch I'd be less concerned, but with the light pedal and mushy feeling I am left not knowing how substantial the inner parts are...
  8. Clutch- expected durability w/ unintended abuse?

    I've got a JT Gladiator that I bought in August and that I am really happy with the 6 speed MT, even though I really dislike the numbness of the clutch. I'm in my 50s and have driven way more miles with manuals than with autos. I've never, ever, had any trouble stalling MT vehicles but I do...
  9. Lets talk manual transmission and stalling.

    JT Sport S 6MT, owned since August. In my early 50s and way more of my driving along the way has been in MTs than ATs - I've had experiences driving everything from '60s aircooled VW MTs to F350 MTs (with towing clutch) - owned mostly MT vehicles - owned ATs only when a vehicle that I otherwise...
  10. question: Diamonback covers in wet + freezing conditions

    I'm very interested in getting a Diamondback bed cover... in the process of saving up. I'd like to ask those of you who have them on your JT, or previously had them on other vehicles: have you had any issues with water getting into/ staying in and freezing up in, points like your hinges...
  11. Laser eye surgery; What are your thoughts!

    Make sure you go to a skilled and conscientious Dr. . . . I'd really wanted to get the surgery - I've not only got extreme nearsightedness, but also extreme astigmatism, to extents that even high quality eyeglasses can't give me 'full average good' detail resolution at distance. So I went in...
  12. Diamondback HD vs Ace Engineering Upper Decker

    They are each excellent products, and I like each of them in their own way, but for myself, I'm leaning strongly towards the Diamondback (still deciding if SE or HD, leaning towards HD). For myself, the option to be able to remove/reinstall the DB all by myself (vs the Ace needing two people)...
  13. Any reason to avoid Manual Transmission?

    That's really cool if even the models (like mine) that don't have keyless/ proximity entry do keep you from locking yourself out. I'll have to try putting my spare key in a known place a long distance from the vehicle, and then "trying to lock myself out" with the key in the vehicle, to see if...
  14. Any reason not to get the blocker heater?

    I was [mistakenly] assuming that the question was in relation to someone planning on getting an Ecodiesel JT- I was assuming that because I can't remember hearing anyone putting or using a block heater in a gasoline engine since I put one in a '91 Ford Ranger that I owned when I was the...
  15. Aftermarket Tonneau Covers?

    I don't think that the Mopar OE channel is unistrut, or has dimensions the same as Unistrut. When I first looked at a Gladiator on a dealer lot that had the OE trail rail, the rails looked exactly like what the OE rails had been in my 2011 Tacoma (which was definitely not unistrut). The Mopar...
  16. Any reason not to get the blocker heater?

    I had the Ecodiesel in a 2015 Ram 1500. As others have mentioned- and I can confirm that this was the case on the Ecodiesel in the Ram, the actual heater is already installed in every engine - it's not worth their bother to build/track some engines with it and others without it (assuming that...
  17. Any reason to avoid Manual Transmission?

    Do you have the keyless entry? Just wondering if this is something that is across-the-board (without the keyless entry) or just with keyless entry. If it's an across-the-board feature, it's a nice oops preventer.
  18. Aftermarket Tonneau Covers?

    I have used unistrut for all kinds of things and generally really like it, but for the purposes of alternatives to TrailRails, I think I am leaning towards the L-Track as some other folks on here have used (I first saw it in this discussion...
  19. Normal oil pressure?

    A number of technically competent people that knew the details of the Ram Ecodiesel really well all independently indicated that the Ecodiesel indeed did use the "proxy" RPM/ operating temperature calculation to arrive at a "displayed" varying oil pressure, there was even an aftermarket...
