Normal. When I had my Ecodiesel, I timed it to exact 3 minutes. Initial hypothesis was that it may be coolant pumped to cool the turbo but later a couple of SAs from different dealerships told me it was fuel return. So whatever it may be, no worries, it is by design.

My first oil change would be around 3500-4000 miles. Then every 5000 miles or 5 months whichever comes earlier. Oil life remaining usually shows 50-55% in that schedule.

@Varooom, might as well secure the hood too. If someone can pour sugar in the gas tank, they can do more damage by adding something into engine oil through the unsecured hood.

What a bitter sweet experience. Too soon for punny comments?

My understanding is that even if the oil drains back into the pan, there will always be a thin film left on the engine components which would be enough lubrication before the oil pump does its job with a couple of seconds.

Running AC on Max will keep the engine and oil temps cooler as AC forces the fan to run throughout.

Nice. Did you have to stick it with Velcro or double sided tape? Or is it heavy enough that it won't fly off the bed?

Instead of sticking the Velcro strip directly to the truck bed, I used a long static cling tape on the painted truck bed and stuck the velcro adhesive to that. In future if I want to get rid of this, all I have to do is to peel the static cling off - leaving no residue.

I went with this and very happy with it. Very light, non abrasive to the truck bed as it won't move and the payload remains in place. Very easy to install. https://www.extremeterrain.com/bedrug-jeep-gladiator-classic-bed-mat-bmj20sbs.html You can also get extensions to the side walls and tail...

Ditto.

They're, they're...

I use a dash cam app on my iPhone called Driver. It uses GPS to display speed and the speedometer on my stock JT exactly matches the GPS speed on the dash cam app too.

I change my Jeeps often (mental illness my wife says ;)). Every new Jeep I bought have those scuff marks/scratches. Not an issue at all. A couple of sprays with Rustoleum if you are really concerned. Some have rust colored slag on some welding too. No worries.

The trend is for smaller pick ups. Ford Maverick, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota is coming up with one which would be the lowest costing pick up, and I read somewhere that RAM has a small pick up being tested out in South America as we speak.

If batman went off-roading...

I had FJ Cruiser in mind.

Being an ISP engineer/architect, I am a BGP and MPLS guy. ;)

But frankly, if I am not going to tow, but use it as a daily driver (in hot Vegas) with light off roading in the desert, and stay well within the GVWR, do I need the heavy duty cooling fan and the 240 amp alternator, or would the standard fan and 220 amp alternator suffice without any heating...

Mojave is unique IMO. There is no SUV equivalent to it in the same price range. Bronco Raptor or F150 Raptor is of course superior but you can buy nearly two JT Mojaves for the price of one Bronco or F150 Raptor.

If they get cancelled, it will increase the value of the remaining trucks.
