  1. Sh!ts Crazy right now and $2.99/Gallon E85 in California is looking pretty good

    Ok if you’re spending good $$$$ to change parts to use e85, I believe that will affect your warranty. I would buy a cheep clunker that uses e85 instead. But when I had my Avalanche that was e85 compatible, the mileage on hyw went from 18-14, city 12-8. But the octane rating is higher than...
  2. 2023 Gladiator ‘DEATH WOBBLE’.

    If your warranty has run out and you’re on the hook to fix it ? I would suggest starting with a new high quality steering damper, one of the aftermarket’s mid price options. Along with a new alignment at a qualified Jeep Shop. Good luck. I had the same issue about a year ago at 14,000 miles, the...
  3. What is in this tool kit?

    Like most everything else made today, it’s more than likely manufactured in china or Taiwan or some third world country. Way overpriced and cheap at the same time. That’s almost snap on money.
  4. The 10 harsh truths Jeep didn't come out with a V8 Jeep gladiator.

    Ok I’m gonna say something not very popular. That is why would anyone want a V8? Their heavy as a Hemi is built out of cast iron, with the truthfully one cool thing is sound. Mileage goes away as soon as tires over 32/33” are used with any engine. But Jeep has developed an incredible engine...
  5. Help identifying what this is

    My guess is that for the previous owner to have plugged in for insurance discount, that also made a convenient place to redneck engineer a light switch too.
  6. is there some wheel brands that are light ?

    Go back and re read my post. From the part that says, “then there are three types”…..
  7. S&B cold air intake test and dyno

    While the tests show the S&B cools the intake a few degrees, plus looks better under the hood, that’s not the CAI you want for the $$$, to add power and efficiency. On other numerous YouTube videos the K&N raisss HP & TQ at least 8-5% that’s more than any other. The other option owners talk...
  8. is there some wheel brands that are light ?

    First off the biggest diameter wheel will always be the heaviest, while being the most expensive at the same time. Then there are three types of materials used, steel being very strong with bendable properties, that can be corrected if not to far gone. Then there are cast alloy, where molten...
  9. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    Yea it’s the stop and go traffic that brings the mileage down in my Spirt S with stock 245/75-17 HT tires on alloys. If I drive like it’s Miss Daisy in the city in bumper to bumper using ACC, I get about 17-19, depending upon red lights. Highway trips with ACC set at the speed limits of 65-70, I...
  10. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    Yea I can agree, from the 6cyl CJ, I bought new in the 70’s, then the YJ in 95, with 4 cyl 5 speed without power steering I could get 21, but at 45 mph. Then the 2015 Cherokee TrailHawk with 30” tires averaged 19-24, depending how much highway at 65 max. Not this Gladiator Sport S, hardtop auto...
  11. do these trucks break down a lot?

    I would look into an exchange for another. To be without the new vehicle from the DAY AFTER? The reason why they don’t release it is they refuse to end up with a lemon law issue, that is if you bought it new. Good luck! I would demand they send it to another dealer! I would be raising hill to...
  12. anyone use Liqui Moly 5w30 in their 6?

    That’s a beautiful? Grand Turismo? That was an awesome American car in its day! Between that UHAUL trailer and car that must be over 5,000 lbs easily! How does it pull?
  13. Warranty - Long Block Replacement

    Come on Jeep! After designing such a great engine with acceptable power and economical performance, why don’t you just demand the supply chain to step up the hardening and longevity!
  14. Found another Apocalypse 6x6 build...and it's at a local dealer!

    I never said there were. Go back to the beginning to see where I mentioned portals.
  15. Shock Recommendation For 2025 Sport S

    Good luck.
  16. Shock Recommendation For 2025 Sport S

    Best shock for the $$$ especially with a slight lift are Bilstien 5100’s. They are designed with an extra length to increase suspension travel. Not by much but every bit helps.
  17. Found another Apocalypse 6x6 build...and it's at a local dealer!

    Ok if the portals have gear reduction and not much room, then a wheel sized accordingly is definitely needed, with tires large enough to not look “goofy”, but nothing looks worse than a set of 20+” wheels with low profile tires on any off road vehicle.
  18. Need Help figuring out larger tire size

    When towing you could not ask for anything more different from your Gladiator than rock crawling, especially when using the same size diameter and width tires on the same size, no bigger than 17” alloy wheels. To save on re-gearing , I would suggest using the $$$$ for a second set of tires...
  19. Savepro fuel saving device

    I have found that at least 32psi in HT 31.6” stock tires, with a very light right foot, will make all the difference in the mileage. Unless you’re wanting to get the most mileage, by using the manual shift mode, to upshift early without lugging the engine. If you pay attention to the instant...
  20. New to me Gladiator; Help me understand what I've got.

    With any lift using the stock front control arms, you risk removing a little caster from the front end alignment. That can be corrected with adjustable lower control arms, that you can lengthen to lay the front axle back, for the correct caster. That helps the steering to reset to forward after...
