  1. Can the Bumper and Winch Cause Overheating? 3.0L EcoDiesel

    Blocking air flow will raise your temps. I seen in on my JKU (winch block the radiator) and that’s why I'm going with a bumper with the winch recessed into the bumper.
  2. MPG Experiment

    You shouldn't be throwing out data when it doesn't meet your perceived expectation, it should be used. When you graph your data, it becomes more apparent and then you can analysis all the data and massage it out with the math. Just from the graph alone you can see a downward trend in your MPG...
  3. MPG Experiment

    0.5-1 mpg is within the margin of error, difference between days with different wind speed and temperatures, lets be real. Also you have to check tire pressure before you drive every single time (leaving and coming home from work). You would have to do this for a long time and collect way more...
  4. New offroad travel trailer

    I can't believe these types of campers cost as much as our JTs.
  5. 2024 Tacoma (4th gen) prototype breaks cover ?

    I sat in a 2020 TRD Pro before I bought my JTR and it felt small inside and no head room and weird driving postion. Unless they fix that and put on a front locker and have a lower transfer case with better crawl ratio I just can't do it. I think the worst thing about Toyota around her are the...
  6. Thoughts from a new Gladiator (and Jeep) owner after a 1100 mile drive home.

    General, carplay, select your blue tooth device, add your app to car play. Waze shows up on my CarPlay in my JKR with the 8.4" screen.
  7. 2021 Ecodiesel Big Issues beaware

    I just got back my Gladiator after 6 weeks at the dealer. The tech broke a fuel injector tyring to repair my oil leak the first time. They had to order a fuel injector and a new oil cooler (took 5 weeks to get in) I was lucky and the dealer gave me a loaner for 5 of those 6 weeks.
  8. Jeep ceo…. Wants zero emission freedom brand

    Electric cars only make up 2.3% of sales and Hybrids make up about 4.9% . So the market disagrees with you. If they were in such high demand with all the choices out there already more people would be buying them. The difference in life time CO2 between a full electric and gasoline car would...
  9. Diesel Oil Change intervals

    Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 does meet the spec, its listed on the bottle. I looked on the Amsoil website and none of their 5w-40s meet the MS-12991 FYI to the pervious posts.
  10. Who else is happy with the Pentastar?

    I put 80k on my 2015 JKU and 76K on my wife 2016 JK with zero problems, we bought them brand new. We live in Colorado at 7K above sea level which you lose about 20% of your horsepower. I had 35s on mine with 4.88 gears and it was awesome. I was up in the mountains at 10K feet plus and had no...
  11. Frustrated! Built over 2 weeks ago but not yet shipped

    Waiting on the train or the train to fill up, train shipping can be slow.
  12. Front License Plate Mounting Ideas... what do you think?

    Ran one on my JK, worked awesome. https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/smittybilt-roller-fairlead-mounted-license-plate-bracket-4432/_/R-DSBP-4432
  13. Last Straw

    Ditch it and get a Chevy 3.0L diesel. If one more thing happens to mine I'm trading it on one and buying LJ to wheel and a tilt trailer
  14. Dealerships can be so sneaky

    If you didn't have the deal in writing and signed its doesn't mean anything. Thats my point.
  15. Dealerships can be so sneaky

    This is not my first rodeo, MSRP never includes the deleivery fee (its a charge on the sticker from Jeep) and almost all dealers tack on a dealer handling fee of $300-800. Come on, you didn't ask the right questions because none of that is new. In your deal, all these items are listed. You...
  16. First problem - Oil leak

    They replaced my oil cooler seal once already and it started leaking agian. They also "resealed" my timing chain cover.
  17. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    High EGTs are from a too rich conditon (happens under load). Higher gear ratio = higher RPMs = More air into the engine. A gear change from 3.73 to 4.1 raises the RPM by over 200@ 70mph on a JTD 8 Speed in 8th gear. Shifting from 8th to 7th even at 70mph is a difference of about 1000rpm and...
  18. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    Try keeping your RPMs up to help with EGTs, manually shift the auto to a lower gear. 1979wagoneer has tire and gear size on you which raises his RPMs and helps lower his EGTs . This is for crazycooter who laughed, FYI the ecodiesel has oil injectors that cool the bottom of the pistons. This is...
  19. First problem - Oil leak

    Mine called me and told me he will have a update on parts (oil cooler) on the 28th Dec. Its been at the dealer since 24h Nov.
  20. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Your tire/gear ratios can be changed to lower your EGTs/Oil temps, you need higher RPMs believe it our not. You know another way to lower your EGTs/oil temps and stop de-fueling, a DEF delete, better downpiple and free flowing exhaust. That's why the factory engineers couldn't fix the problem...
