Its easier to do lockers than it is a motor swap. The minivan motor is extremely underwhelming imo.

Every diesel tuner has been squeezing better fuel economy out of diesels for a couple decades. This isn't something new or isolated to this motor. Tuners don't work under the same parameters as manufactures do so it allows them some leniency to alter things. My 8900lbs Ram got 23+mpg tuned, my...

No and no. There's been people who cut off the muffle and there is no difference in sound. Considering everything before the muffler can't be removed without deleting the emissions system, there is no way currently to put a full exhaust on it. Yet.

Same, I'm up in Sonoma County. Seen that atrocity on our CL the last week and threw up in my mouth a little.

I would be totally fine with 10k over 3 years. That's significantly lower than average. But we are hardly in average times.

Around the start of covid and all the way up to a couple months ago there was journalists talking about the gladiator experiencing poor resale. I typically buy used but after following the market for a few months prior to ordering my truck I don't see how anyone could justify buying a gladiator...

Sounds similar to the studies on Vitamin D, Magnesium, iron, Quercetin etc and those don't make me feel like garbage and have unknown side effects.

Smart choice... Other than color. 182ft lbs of tq is not insignificant. Especially when its all available at 1400rpm vs 4400rpm. Add in better fuel mileage, a longer warranty, sounds better and baring some unforeseen issues, better resale. Especially when Obama fuel prices start taking affect.

I like my vehicles gray.

If you think you could be happy with the 3.6 go for it. I know that if it was the only motor option available that I wouldn't have ever even considered buying a JT. I am sure the safety nazi's will lose their stuff but I wouldn't hesitate to overload the diesel some if done properly. Id take a...

Picked up my new toy today. Ecodiesel rubicon ordered 11/27. Drove home through the city in some traffic, hit about 6-8 offramps to vary speeds, one stop for lunch and the fuel mileage so far is pretty dang good. Speeds over about 65 really tank mileage though, damn aerodynamics.

Mine came in yesterday. Ordered on November 27th. Im in Northern CA, took 9 to the local port and 11 days to get to my dealer.Its a Rubicon Diesel, no accessories or bedliner.

Ordered PRP custom covers on black friday and received them today. A bit of a wait but well worth the wait, very very nice covers.

Keep in mind you’ll get a decent amount better fuel mileage after the truck has some miles on it. I’d assume you’ll see gains through the first 20k, maybe more.

Considering the issues these motors have had due to oil, i would probably error on the side of caution. they might have solved some issues with the 3rd gen but in general new diesels are pretty dirty in the crank case.

Add to that the diesel has a longer factory warranty that will be maintained. People act like the minivan motor is a toyota 22r. Its not reliable as it is so why not at least get a motor that's got a longer warranty, makes a significant amount more power and gets better fuel economy? If most...

Its not reliable stock so how do you figure it will take boost reliably? By the time you make it reliable with a super charger you could have just put a v8 in it.

Doesn't need to be made in the states to delete a vehicle here. Plenty of cummins and duramax guys running deletes from neighboring countries already. Considering there's deleted 2nd gen eco diesels from those same companies there will be 3rd gen deletes from those same places.

There will be deletes, once deleted they aren't really that much more complicated than 10-15 years ago. there is risks though, more in some regions than others. Personally I wouldn't have even considered the gladiator if it wasn't for the diesel. The mini van motor they put in the gas version is...

The tires are made by fuel?
