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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
