  1. 3.0 Diesel IS quicker than Ram Hemi, and Ford 7.3!!

    Regardless of what Google says the sticker inside the door says what it says because we were both astounded when we looked at it right after he was issued the truck. It has F-250 badge on the fender as well. I have no other reason to say it other than it’s there. It was a hot topic of...
  2. Installed The 1.5” Leveling Kit

    Goo A Good reason to add a winch!
  3. 3.0 Diesel IS quicker than Ram Hemi, and Ford 7.3!!

    My Rubicon JTD is not light by any stretch compared to the same year trucks. Where I work we have a bunch of new 2500 fords running the big gas V-8’s and they weigh in at 3600 lbs. the trucks of today aren’t heavy compared to trucks 5-10 years ago. So far as stop light to stop light my JTD...
  4. Rubicon Interior - Dashboard not red

    It’s an upgrade and mine is not red either.
  5. Fuel Additive test video - Interesting results

    Thanks for the video, I use Power Service with antigel during winter months, use nothing the rest of the year so I may start.
  6. JTRD on 37" what ratio 4:56 or 4:88

    My diesel Ruby is stock and cut the wheel pulling out to turn give too much fuel and it will roll the stock 33’s enough to get squirrelly before you can let up or stability management kicks in. Never done this intentionally but the day I bought was the first time I saw it. Given what I just...
  7. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    22 Rubicon and I’m at 20,000 miles, no issues whatsoever and no CEL’s. Love the truck and the engine.
  8. White CJ retro wheels on a Sarge Green Gladiator

    Love those, was looking at some very similar but with a red strip around the bead area of the rim/wheel. Looks great!
  9. $1000 Budget for Handling Improvements - Best Parts for Highway Wandering?

    I would be very careful with those type adjustments. I have personally seen two different vehicles a van and a ford truck where it was adjusted too tight to remove play and a short drive down the road and back ruptured the steering box forcing the recessed plate out the bottom of the gear...
  10. Used Rubicon diesel with 60k miles

    I realize it was Gen 2 and that guy does a bunch of diesel rebuilds mostly Power Stroke and Cummins. He has another video up on a Gen 2 rebuild with 200,000 miles and in disassembly he explains lack of maintenance as the cause. Another key point he makes is whatever engine you have cut the...
  11. Used Rubicon diesel with 60k miles

    I own a Gladiator diesel and I did a bunch of online research before buying the diesel. What I found was the problems with the 3 liter are little different than the power stroke and Cummins and that is it all comes down to maintenance. I follow this guy on YouTube as he has a huge shop in Utah...
  12. Would you buy a diesel gladiator again?

    Absolutely, the eco fits my needs and where I live. Just turned 10,000 miles and no issues. I haven’t even looked into the recalled pump yet. The percentage of those that actually failed is pretty darn slim. I will get it done when I have time but I feel there is and has been a lot of fever...
  13. This is How Tough The Lifted Gladiator Can Be

    There are several studies each use some of the same criteria while adding more and different criteria and factoring it all in by percentage. I just picked the one that had TN in the top ten. Just seemed like it fits considering how many times the original poster has been hit by a bad driver.

  15. Pentastar power increase

    Hit post too quick so I edited and added it.
  16. Pentastar power increase

    There is a similar thread on the wrangler forum related to the 3.6, worth a read in my opinion if you have a Pentastar. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/future-of-v6-pentastar.120546/page-2
  17. Pentastar power increase

    Very true statement! I add a 3000 pound boat behind mine and head up the mountain and you never know it’s behind you where torque/power is concerned.
  18. Not impressed with Gladiator performance in snow

    I couldn’t agree with you more. The vehicle is like any tool equipped for certain jobs. The operator of that tool is the key to the actual performance. I know in the early and mid 90’s here in the Appalachian Mountains I have worked tons of single vehicle crashes on snow covered roads all...
