The fact there have been ZERO leaks... makes me believe it won't be a massive change over the Wrangler updates. But I'd love to be wrong and see a 392 or 4XE
I appreciate everyone's feedback; it was exactly what I wanted to hear. I was waiting for someone to go, "commute? in a jeep? are you crazy?" but, alas, that's not the case because we all know what we bought.
Thanks everyone!
My current commute is 2ish miles round trip (I make sure I drive long enough to get the oil up to temp, ~185), depending on traffic and if I feel like taking different roads. I am looking at a new job, and that commute could become 60 miles round trip sometime soon. I've done 2 years of 80-mile...
Yep! Didnt realize it could do it until just being lazy going into a corner and the force held my arm in place and it kicked down an additional gear. It's a nice feature.
Learned something new about the manual mode the other day. If you hold it in the downshift position, it'll downshift for as many gears as it can without you giving it more input. It's nice on hills to just tap it over to manual, hold the lever to the downshift position, and it let go down...
Beginning to get some shudders at low RPM when inching along in traffic. Similar to a manual when you sort of depress the clutch with some gas to get going while already moving. Only below 3-5mph, and goes away after everything engages.
Also starting to notice some odd tendencies in reverse...
how...how are you supposed to close it? Be the same height as the Joly Green Giant? My only gripe is the "4th" brake light. Seems redundant when we have our 3rd brake light on the tailgate anyway. Looks awesome besides that!
Agreed on all fronts. Measured everything last night and this morning, all within my personal specs of okay, 12.5+ sitting.
Here’s what’s interesting, the P0563 code is the TCM voltage regulator fault. I went to check codes this morning just to be safe and that was the only one left over. Could...
That is painful... My brother in law and I were working on his B58, installing a downpipe and a few other goodies. Whoever worked on his exhaust before us must have torqued it down to control arm specs, we had to torch off all the bolts from the v-band on the top of the downpipe all the way back...
It didn't crank slow but once it did crank the rpms stuttered (dropped to 700ish) then hit high idle and that's when all the lights flipped on.
I didn't get a chance to check any of the systems, I kept an eye on the volts for the remainder of my drives today and nothing was out of the norm...
I had a Christmas tree of lights when I turned the Jeep on this morning, and the steering wheel was immobilized. Codes are as follows:
P062A -- Fuel Pump "A" Control Circuit Range/Performance
U0109 -- Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module
P2AF5 -- Starter Relay 3 Stuck On
P0564 --...
Bit more than dozens, maybe hundreds (this was edited from thousands after reviewing current for sale Hemi Gladiators), compared to the 7000ish per year 392's built by Jeep with a factory-backed warranty. My belief is that a factory powertrain would be highly sought after and eat away at Ram...
While yes, this would be expensive, think about the amount of people paying SIGNIFICANTLY ($30,000 minimum + MSRP of Gladiator) more to swap their current gladiators. A factory option would be eaten up and would take away from Ram Sales.
99% sure you will need an adaptor to make them fit, but something in the back of my mind also says that the LEDs for the Plastic and the LEDs for the steel bumper are different p/n's and wouldn't fit even with an adaptor.
Paging @ShadowsPapa as i remember you went through this at some point.
