Shadow and Sharp, you guys act like your full time job is to be unified and condescending rectums to every contributor that refuses to bow to your wims. It’s so toxic, and everyone just lets you defecate where they eat and sleep for fear of mob reprisals. Charlatans and bullies are not role...

You must have a really good setup or the JT must take a lift better than the older vehicles. Every lift I’ve ever done and every lifted vehicle I’ve ever driven has always been objectively worse at towing by a large order of magnitude. Not withstanding a vehicle with wasted OEM suspension...

To add more context, I have not towed heavy with the Gladiator yet. It may indeed get squirrelly as weight moves up. Also, I’m completely stock. A modified Gladiator with a lift and big heavy tires may make towing downright dangerous. If I had to tow heavy often, I’d have a real truck rather...

I agree with the OP. I’ve had both as well —and a 5G Ranger and a Cummins all in the past 6 years. The f-150 could pull more weight comfortably, power wise, but did not handle as well. The Gladiator feels much more stable and controllable but has a severe disadvantage in terms of perceived...

What color and how much do you need to get for it? Good undamaged condition? You can PM me if you prefer.

Mission success. There's been a mild disturbance in the pop culture echo-chamber. Independent thought and a search for objective truth have been established. Danger, Danger... You're a damned liar. Your engine murdered a pack of baby seals and then immediately transmitted HIV to you. Thats...

If you're fortunate, this could work to your advantage, by getting you upgraded to the current spec mopar branded rubi-red shock at all 4 corners. As more people gain experience with Fox shocks, their street cred will continue to dwindle. The overall delay would be a significant irritant...

Because it's my prerogative to use whatever oil I want. The fact that it also brings me extreme pleasure to know how badly some of the most senior contributors on this forum hate my decision ---well that's just a bonus ;).

Update: As I indicated I would do, I have done my first OC at 2100 miles. I did not use the Rotella T6, instead I used Mobil-1 0w40 Eurospec and a Mopar filter. I will periodically report back my findings and experience with the 40 weight over time. I started a separate clean thread for...

2023 JT Willys ZF | I did my first oil change today at 2100 miles. Used a Mopar oil filter and Mobil-1 0w40 Eurospec Oil. No, the engine did not spontaneously combust or turn into dust immediately after. Those effects need a few hundred miles of operation to fully mature ;). I also...

Another thought, Is it possibly a result of your area suddenly electing to use a winter blend of fuel? My region does and I loose 2mpg when my filling stations are on winter blend. Your local jurisdiction may have pulled shenanigans and upped your ethanol ratio as well. Ethanol has 1/3 less...

Wow Alyn, way to get viciously attacked for blowing off a little steam. ;). I too grow a bit tired of being constantly carpet-bagged and propagandized, no matter the media. At least they’re up front about it. Can you image how terrible this forum would be if it was the NPR or PBS model...

My understanding is that all pentastar Grand Cherokees built from model year 2016 to present have the PSU VVL heads (and other PSU parts), irrespective of where they were manufactured. Stated differently, no Grand Cherokee’s newer than 2016 have non PSU VVL pentastars. Have you seen differently?

Jasper rebuild products have been very good in my experience. That said, with the statistically very high reliabilty of the Pentastar, you’d probably be better served swapping in any random used low mile Pentastar over a Jasper rebuild in my view. In regards to the lifter reversal...

A lot of good comments, but the facts may be getting obscured a bit with all the follow-on discussions. Background: My wife scheduled to have a door handle replaced which had some CVD finish peeling off. --no big deal, but it was sharp and on principle. The part came in and they called a...

We are off topic, but the 5.4 3-valve will go down as THE worst engine of the fuel injected era. The Ford engine design team should be formally charged in the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. It is that bad.

Update: "sticking lifters and possible stored trouble codes driving recall" Dealer says recall covers all VVL Pentastars built between June 2022 and before April 2023. Intake lash adjusters only, both banks. Recall parts include LA's, VC gaskets, and some other small gaskets and sealer...

The Mojave may sag more than other models due to it's high-speed suspension setup priorities. I think what LEJT was asking is if you've actually measured your tongue weight as-loaded. Put a scale under the actual tongue, with trailer attitude near where it will be when hooked up to your JT...

I will request a detailed explanation of the recall and the parts involved. If I accept the recall work, I will also request the old parts back. Stellantis may or may not grant that. They’re paying for it and providing a loaner so I’m certainly not entitled to them. It would stand to reason...

In another life, I bought a house, paid my bills, and raised small children as an auto tech. I was fortunate to be an okay diagnostician and very fast so I beat the clock and turned lots of hours. Through a series of what at the time I thought were unfortunate events, I left the trades and...
