Welcome to the world of EcoDiesels. And yes, the MPG is from another universe ...

I don't care ...

I can already smell the odor from the clutch when approaching a steep hill with the manual conversion ... ;)

Just received an original Mopar Oil Filter and now I feel somehow ripped off ... ;)

I would not go so far. The transmission for the gas engines is build under ZF license in the US which is not better or worse than the transmissions for the diesel engines manufactured in Germany. In my opinion both transmissions are a great piece of engineering art (but still might have some...

I was somehow (not completely) aware of the issues the EcoDiesel has. And I am definitely not a diesel fan. But looking at the characteristics of the Pentastar (neglectable torque, max. power at arround 6000 rpm) it was quite clear that this engine is not really fitting to the Gladiators...

Yes, don't complain too much. In the US every $ that you earn is (maybe, I am just guessing) worth 75 cents. In my country it is just 40 ...

I loved my Chevy and if I would have had more garage space would definetly kept her. And my favourite combination would be to put the LS6 in the Gladiator.

My condolence. Got myself the first chip at the second day after less than 300 miles. But hasn't start running so far (now at 8000 miles).

First Jeep was a 2005 TJ 4.0, bought new. Second one the JTOD and third again a 2005 TJ 4.0

Don't complain or you will be deported to Germany ...

Apart from Scotty, I fully agree with you. Even if the ESS on the Diesel Gladiator worked very well during the test drive, I am putting it off everytime I use my own vehicle. And even on my Smart 451, which is mainly used in the city, the first thing to do is to switch ESS off. OK, fuel...

Interesting. Good luck with the restauration. Mine is a 1980 450 SLC and was reimported from the US to Germany in 2018. Was more or less rust free, just needed a paint job. Additionally, I did some modifications like lowering, rims and other small stuff.

Thank's. So I'll just continue with my traditional procedure ...

You should treat your 107 better. Mine has her own garage ... ;)

Starting procedure for me is: 1. Press brake and start button. 2. Press ESS off button. Always. And the next modification on the truck is buying JScan and shutting off ESS permanently.

We have a 13 PIN socket / plug here in Germany (maybe also in Europe) and I bought a plug which I connected to the CTEC cable which usually would have been connected directly to the battery. So, in principle I made my own connection to the CTEC. I used Pin 9 for plus and 13 for earth which I...

Thats my solution

My Gladiator has the LSD in the rear and since I am not using the car seriously off road I think that would be sufficient. My lately acquired TJ has non and I am planning to install a locker at the rear. And if this is not fullfilling my requirements the front will follow.

No, only in the bed. Nice but not really useful feature. I would have preferred a 12V outlet in the bed.
