Those who have had shitty problems with their 3.6s now know why. They need to take it up with the director of poopulsion.

I measured 17 inches in the middle from floor of bed to bottom of cover but there are blocks and latch mechanisms that will interfere so the usable height is about 16.25 to 16.5. A coworker has roll up style on his Taco ( diehard Toyota fan) was not happy to see how little water made it into my...

The last fuel pump I replaced was on a 1995 Dodge Dakota. Now I know the dealer should be aware if this is the case but on the Dakota there is a specific orientation to allow the gauge sensing arm full range of motion. Maybe I’m just being negative but I don’t have a lot of faith in dealer...

I am happy with mine and mostly agree with Thunderspud. I did scratch mine with my freedom too but not really very easy to see. I also have driven with the top flipped up with no issues. If there is a complaint it’s the head piece doesn’t sit flat. Surprisingly more water tight than other...

I have a 23 JT with the 3.0 V6 and a 16 Promaster with the 3.0 L4. I love both of them. However. Repairs are expensive and there seems to be a shortage of competent people to work on them. The passive regeneration system (DPF) doesn’t really work until the unit is fully warmed up so excess short...

What Rockman said. Cali is behind auto emissions and HVAC changes. No manufacturer is going to do battle with them.

I am not a diesel mechanic nor any kind of expert but I doubt you have any concern. It is my understanding a DPF should last about 150k, I would doubt much difference in regens if any in that distance. Excessive short distances and insufficient long drives seem to be the worst concern. I use...

Crazycooter is correct. Extra regens would waste fuel and also add wear to the DPF. I have taken it upon myself to learn more about the DPF, SCR and DEF systems since it appears many shops don’t seem to understand how to troubleshoot and repair. These systems parts are expensive and they tend to...

Gladys work better?

Lake Speed the oil geek on YouTube recommended early first oil change. You can check it out and use your own judgment. I changed mine at 5k and every 5k. I recall hearing break in is not as important as years ago but that you should vary speed. I think Mr Bill has a great idea if you have...

I get the oil at Walmart, filters from Doc’s but haven’t used them yet. I also use WorldPartsDirect online mopar source if I can’t get what I need from Doc’s.

Have you replaced the fuel filter? Reck is every 8k with biodiesel >b5

The wife has a 21 4xe Rubi with SOT. The built in microphone has always sucked. My 23 Gladiator hardtop with headliner is way better. I just thought it was the SOT. I mostly use a Plantronics Bluetooth headset in and out of the Jeep and even on windy rooftops it works great. I just wish Apple...

125.00 sounds very low for the dealer to supply and install. I purchase filters from Doc’s. Also fuel filter interval is every 8k with biodiesel and they are not wanting you to run anything over B5. I found an addendum in the glove box. I am changing oil every 5k but thinking of doing it every...

I appreciate the information. There are a lot of complaints about the Promaster diesel but these problems seem common on these systems. I’m getting a P22A1 bank1 sensor 2 high P20EE not meeting threshold. My scanner live data is showing inlet nox fluctuation between 0-500 sometimes higher and...

It has been said by a mechanic YouTuber if it as an ammonia smell it is old and not to use it. I recently used some I bought at Walmart and it had a bit of a smell and also crystallized on the side of my Promaster, a week later I am now having an issue with my SCR system. Coincidental- maybe.

Very cool video! Thanks for posting it!

I would highly recommend anyone wanting to learn more about diesel emissions check out “ oreillys autos” on YouTube. He is a mobile mechanic in the UK that seems to be the DPF wiz. System is not really that complicated but it amazes what can stop proper functioning. ie outdoor ambient...

I will on Monday when me, the Jeep and I and all together. My recollection is some point middle of 21 or 22 they changed having them pre installed. For a short time you had to remove a pipe plug and install the heater requiring draining and refilling coolant. Then they started pre installing a...

Sorry if the pics are dark. Jeep is in the parking garage at work and forgot my keys at home. Also hood locked but added a few pictures to show routing.
