Attached is the WIX UOA on my Gladiator. I would have a Blackstone UOA to go with it but evidently that one got lost in the mail.
I dumped the factory fill at just over 500 miles and put in Quaker State Ultimate Durability. Looks good for an engine still breaking in.
Well here's a new one.
Less than 5,000 miles on my JT.
Last couple of days I've noticed slight knocking from the front end that was related to vehicle speed. It was slowly getting worse and I could feel it in the steering wheel.
I jacked up the front end and spun the wheels. Long story...
Australian owners. I'm curious as to what grade oil is recommended for your Gladiators.
I've had vehicles in the past where the factory recommendation for oil was very different between the US and outside the US.
Thanks!
Thought some might find this interesting. Guy does a tear down of a 14+ Dodge Ram 3.0L Eco Diesel engine. I suspect it is probably the same engine being put in the diesel Gladiator. I'll save my thoughts on this engine for later.
Since getting my Sport a couple of months ago I've been agonizing on what to do with it. I do explore the NV desert so better tires and a mild lift were a requirement. I bought the max tow because of the wide HD axles with 4.10 gears, not because I needed the 7,650 tow rating. The most this...
Quick question. How do you remove the bed lights? Do they pop out?
I'm taking my Gladiator in tomorrow morning for a spray in bed liner. I'd like to remove them before I take it in.
Thanks!
I have decided not to use this suspension after all and ordered a Mopar kit. Complete suspension as shown. The seller I bought this from said the suspension had 6,500 miles. One of the rear shocks is a little stiffer than it's twin so priced accordingly.
Located in Fallon. Local pickup but I...
Has anyone else seen this? This is the 1/2" spacer from a 1.5" spacer kit. It was like this when I opened the box. Oh, and the box was not damaged. Makes me wonder how they would hold up with actual use. I'll be returning it.
Made me decide to just go ahead and order the Mopar 2" lift kit.
I have a Sport Max Tow which gets used to haul a 3K pound travel trailer on a regular basis. It also spends a lot of time in the NV desert so I'd like to get it up a couple of inches for a little more ground clearance. I plan on sticking with the 33" Rubicon take-off wheels and tires it is...
Well, crawled under my JT a while ago to look at spring part numbers and discovered my right rear axle seal is leaking. Less than 1K miles on the truck. Guess I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow.
SOLD!
I bought these locally from a gent who sold his Gladiator. They are in excellent to like new shape. All hardware included. I'm in need of dedicated steps and never installed them on my Gladiator. Here is the link from the DV8 website...
Hi Folks! Thought I would introduce myself. Well, last year I kinda screwed up and traded my JLU Wrangler for a 2020 Ford Ranger. I've been a Jeep guy for years. Even once had a JKU that I had an LS 5.3L/6L80 engine/transmission swap done on by Motech. Anyway, I'm getting old and figured I...
