I towed about 6K lbs with my Rubicon, Auto, 4.10s and 37s. It pulled it fine and once up to speed had no trouble maintaining it. This was not a long distance tow, only about 50miles of mixed roads. Biggest problem was I didn't have my brake controller yet so I was very cautious and gave my self...
Agreed, but I guess just like your experience on the highway. Depends on use. They definitely don't hold up well to hard use.
I had similar experience with the clutch on my JKU. I replaced it at 125K, still had plenty of life left in it but was rebuilding the trans due to bearing issue. So it...
This is true as well. The variable being the highway your on. Flat, hilly, mountainous, winds, etc.
The reality is being the Gladiator is underpowered.
This is true. Then with 37s it will hunt between 6-8 when on highway. But will do it with 35s as well. I just regeared to 5.13s. What a difference. Truck will pull in 8th on highway unless you pedal it enough to downshift it.
Dam...what balljoints do you have that last 120K-140K. The OEM ones generally never make it past 20-40K. Now the aftermarket ones, Synergy, Alloy USA, Rare Parts, etc, could definitely see that
The vacuum hubs are junk...and the default position when they failed was unlocked. All the vacuum hubs they did after atleast defaulted to locked position so you had 4wd. When you needed it was when you found out it had failed.
I replaced my axle shafts with one piece RCVs. I used cavfab's delete plate. One fad is removed. The plate covers the opening. Used my Tazer to turn FAD off.
Neither battery in mine are the factory. Both are aftermarket but I'm wondering if one is crapping out under load. Sounds like it is. Especially since my truck is usually stored indoors. When I picked it up it had been outside. Maybe the colder weather is making any battery weakness show
Got my JTR back today. First off with the 5.13s and 37s the truck is very smooth upon acceleration. Trans shifts up in gear very quickly and can carry the load much better. When downshifting it doesn't drop to low and rev the engine really high or hold the gears as long as you accelerate. 8th...
Good evening everyone.
Just picked up my JTR from having gears and new axle shafts installed today. All went well except after I left shop. I made a few stops and when I started my Jeep I got a dash message saying that the Aux Switches were temporarily unavailable batteries charging. After...
