A few months back the Gladiator hadn't been driven and there had been a lot of rain. We hopped in and water came down from around the rear view mirror area. Also had light water in the driver floor board. Nothing like you have. Pulled the tops, made sure everything was clean and tight, and...

Did you check the jack under the rear seat just to see if that's projecting and sounds like it's under the vehicle?

Only if you paid for it. It would be a separate charge and line item. It's not typically a part of the labor with swapping pads and they would also bill for brake fluid. *They should have bled the brakes for that caliper replacement to ensure no air in the system. That doesn't mean they did a...

I brake hard as well. I certainly don't drive with brake wear as a priority. As for wear indicators, I haven't checked either. Whether physical, electronic, or absent I prefer to rely on physical inspection when I'm rotating tires. Next time I have the wheels off I'll take a look though.

Congratulations!

A visual inspection. Pads also have a wear indicator on them. It's metal and when it makes contact with the rotor makes a terrible noise that's impossible to ignore. Though I've seen people manage to ignore it. Do a search for brake pad wear indicator and check out the images. Watch some...

Rotors are a wear item but the wear is dictated by pad aggressiveness. Rotors should be replaced when they reach their minimum thickness. I haven't, yet, measured rotor thickness. I'll do this once it's close to time for pads. You can, potentially, resurface or turn the rotors. And, if any...

Just got back into cycling, which has been great. Mostly road. Haven't been on the mountain bike in a while. All of the examples of running pace shared are amazing. I'm a terrible runner. I ruck, train with sandbags, weights, and bodyweight. Running though, I'm just awful.

I use this one: https://www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/foam-cannons/products/mtm-pf22-2-foam-cannon I also have two bottles. One for Brake Buster to foam the wheels/tires and one for Adam's Car Wash Soap. Rinse Foam Sit Rinse Foam Wash - Two buckets/Two mitts Dry Top with Bead Maker

If I understand correctly, you bought the 8.4 display after taking delivery and did the install. And the UI has all the climate control options, including Auto, as well as the plug on the wiring harness. Your climate control panel, the hard buttons, do not have Auto? I feel like you could...

Definitely check if your company is an Affiliate. You can shop an order just like you shop in-stock units. Most dealers will try to move available inventory or try to locate one, but insist you want to order if that's what you're after. Look for below invoice pricing. Don't be afraid to...

Waiting is painful. Asking every day doesn't speed up the process, it just makes it worse. Timing for the vehicle to go into production is dictated by a number of variables, not just part status. It would be great if they gave a legitimate build date at the start of the order and gave dealers...

My track wheels and tires to my garage at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Next up will be my jack, a small air compressor, jack stands, some tools, and my helmet. So I have what I need onsite and available.

I think it's a great excercise in what can be accomplished with the platform. The more this type of work is done the more exposure the Gladiator gets. Which is a good thing. I can't imagine anyone buys this thinking of anything more than their own perceived bragging rights and views it...

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. And nothing old about using ear plugs. I don't get on the motorcycle without them. Experiencing my 76 year old dad deal with hearing aids and the frustrations of hearing loss, I'll always do everything I can to protect my hearing.

Today was moving day. Hooked up the enclosed trailer and moved a washer and dryer to storage.

Of course issues pop-up with every brand. Can you point out to me where OP said otherwise? Can you describe what "people like you" means? Can you share why you feel the way you do about this post? And why you needed to respond in this way?

I don't work for free. Not do I want you to work for free. My brother is a Ford Master Tech that left the dealership model and opened his own place, predominantly for this reason. And let's be transparent. If the job pays 4 hours and you do it in 2, you get the 4 hours. I haven't heard anyone...

There are 8 pages of details with OP going explaining the issue, sharing screenshots, etc... Why not read the thread prior to posting or just keep it to yourself?

100% one of the most frustrating parts of ownership. I have a hard time trusting dealerships in general to treat my vehicle the way I treat my vehicle. That extends to all makes I own or have owned. It's even more frustrating with something they can't resolve and they are content to leave you...
