highly recommend a bottle jack buddy to go with it. Spend a few extra bucks and get the real thing and not the Chinese knock off. Can’t beat the BJ Buddy
fwiw, I had an issue with the original relay, a pin was too short, and they sent me another. No issues in a year and no melting relays. They are not quick to respond but they did give me good service. YMMV
Just got back from a winter camping trip with my HCalory. Honestly, I would not mount it on the rack because the exhaust would be too close to my RTT. I tried it and decided to to relocate the heater to a table next to my JT - much better. Also, this gives the flexibility to move the heater from...

I would steer clear of Jeeps diesel- too many issues have been reported to make me feel confident of that power plant. Im sure I’ll get flamed for this, but there’s a reason it was discontinued after a short run. I’m a huge fan of diesel engines but not this one
Mine is also the ancient 3.6, with 37" tires, lift, and 5.13 gears, my mileage varies between 14-16. I am dreaming of a hemi swap. Would expect similar mileage but with premium fuel.
I use Hot Shots in my F250 diesel, recommend this as well. May not improve mileage enough to justify the cost, but is good for your fuel pump and injectiors
That's cool! My JT constantly drains the battery when not driven. This is a cool solution though wouldn't help me as usually mine is in the garage, but I like it. Thanks for sharing.
