The last time my gladiator had issues with the fuel system, the dealer was not able to recreate or determine the cause. They just said that they suspect that there is bad diesel in the tank, however, they did never tested it and wanted a couple grand to drop the tank and dispose of the diesel...

I thought of that, but afraid of possibly introducing air into the system. The original fuel pump on mine already grenaded and don't want to introduce air into the system and possibly having it happen again. Will probably just siphon some gas out of the tank and take some from the filter and...

been trying to track down an issue with engine stalling and cold starts. Dealer did a freezer test on a sample but they didn't send it for labs. And they said it was containmented. They also wanted $1600 to drop tank and dump fuel and see if they solves the issue. Don't want to spend that for...

you're talking about the filler neck mod?

Do the diesels have any anti-siphoning features on the tanks? I need to dump the fuel and not looking forward to removing my full skid plate setup and dropping the tank. Could i just siphon from the fill line or detach it and go from there?

That is what I questioned to them. If there is that much water in the system that it is causing issues, shouldn't the water in fuel indicator gone off? The lab that they used to send samples to isn't around anymore, so they did a "at home" test kit. So, obviously, that isn't always the most...

So after waiting for the sensor to arrive and the jeep sitting at the dealer for over a week. They were able to finally experience the rattle and rough idle that I have been reporting for a while. They did some more investigation and everything checked out ok. However, they noted that there was...

It only gets into the low 30s overnight where i am at. And never really freezes. But it is strange that these issue with this jeep only happen when the weather is cold or rainy. Even the service manager didn't know what could be causing and confirmed with him that it has happened even out of...

i was able to get the dealer to submit for a goodwill warranty cover and just have to pay $130 deductible now. Better than paying $1400, but still curious why this wouldn't be covered by the 100k mile powertrain warranty. Part is about a week out, and hoping that this resolves the issue.

Update for those who are curious, the dealer checked it out today and was unable to replicate the noise/clatter that occurred and i was able to get video of. Which has always been the case since the noise is never constant. They checked the code and after their troubleshooting, they are...

Dropped it off at the dealer and they won't be able to look at it until next week, but now that there is a code popping up, hopefully they are able to fix it once and for all. This has been on and off since the first fuel pump replacement before the recall pump was installed.

Started it up this morning and as I was getting ready to walk out I heard it stuttering and then it died. Started it up and was idling weird again and got video of the noise this time. and now I have a check engine with a couple codes which are new.

Yes, priming is required to help speed up the long starts that follow replacing the fuel filter. usually the long starts only last one or two startups after replacing and regardless i always let the fuel pump "whine" up first before actually starting the engine.

I haven't checked the PCV yet, but will. When it in was in the dealer for a similar noise, they could not recreate the scenario where the noise would appear.

No i don't have a block heater. It gets down to the low-mid 30s in the winter time, but never freezes. I would think that a modern diesel would be able to handle cold (not freezing) temps relatively OK. I use HotShots EDT on every fill up. Especially after having the fuel pump replaced twice...

It does have an indicator that will light up.

It only happens when it has been sitting and it is either cold out or not fully warmed up. All fluids are good. And just did a fuel filter and oil replacement about 1k miles ago.

Usually, in the mornings I will let my jeep idle until the coolant temp gets up to or past 90F. This morning i started it by remote start since it was a little colder (at least for CA) and wanted to let it warm up while i was getting ready to leave. When i walked outside i noticed that the idle...

I have been using Doc Diesel for the oil filters. I still have a couple Mopar fuel filters, so haven't need to purchase them through DD, but have heard good feedback on both filters from them.

Did you ever find out where the source of the water was when it was closed? I have a V2 as well, and can power wash the entire camper and no water intrusion. And I'm on those forums as well. I like the windows since they would probably add some light during the day and be able to keep the...
