Maybe the engineers at FCA have solved the short-trip problem that plagues modern diesels with this 3rd Gen 3.0 eco-diesel. I don't pretend to know the answer to that. But let's remember that personal experience - while valid - is an "n" of 1 (i.e. a sample size of one). It is helpful to hear...

If you are doing lots of short trips in the diesel, you will have expensive problems with your emissions systems. The diesel will tow a load better than the gas - even if it is rated lower. In other words - pulling a 5,000 pound trailer up and down hills will be a breeze for the diesel, while...

If you want to improve traction in snow and ice (acceleration, braking, and cornering) you should run a dedicated winter tire. A true winter tire is vastly superior to any kind of AT, MT, or street tire. That’s not my opinion, it is proven by every tire company/tire tester in the world. My...

Okay - its cool that the community came together and rescued this Jeep. They look like they could use a little more training - but its a great effort. However, its a problem that the driver tried to drive this trail. Its these kind of stories that get a lot of publicity, and lead to ORV...

Yes - and this is the difference between living in the mountains and living at sea level. I respect the opinion of those who are sticking up for the 3.6 Pentastar, but I would guess that most of you do not live up high. I live at 8,200 feet, so when I start my naturally aspirated V6 in the...

Dogs and Jeeps - this is the best thread on the internet!

Looks great! How are you liking the Mopar lift and the 35-inch KO2s? I've been thinking about the exact same setup. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on how it handles compared to stock. Thanks!

Re-gearing compensates for a taller tire by restoring the intended factory gear ratios. It is the height of the tire that is the key factor (not the weight). However, taller tires are also usually heavier, and added weight in the tires/wheels requires additional torque to get moving, and...

Thanks for posting this! That’s some good community service.

I’ve been really happy with KO2s. I’ve never run them in 37, but I had 35s on my JK, and I’ve got 32s on my current rig (2017 Tacoma). They are not the right tire if you are in mud frequently, but they are pretty good at everything else. Good in the rocks, and great for fast driving on dirt...

Hey Uparms, The shop near me (Trail Jeeps) has been putting Eaton E-lockers into aftermarket axles for the JT. The owner of the shop, Wes, told me that the Eaton E-lockers can be wired to the Rubicon switches, and then the switch gear works just like it did from the factory. Because they can use...

Thanks for the head's up.
