Thanks for the advise. Very much appreciated.
But I am combining personal and work phone since more than 20 years and think I know how to handle it.
Fortunately I am not that important that I am getting a call every 10 minutes ... 🍻
Allways using Android up to 2-3 years ago when the company decided I-phone as standard for everybody.
Ditched it after two years and went back to Android. So fck company policy, have a XCover 6 Pro now ...
Most of my friends are professed disciples of Apple.
The 90000 km which I mentioned came from a ZF employee and is not an official ZF recommendation.
I assume that the oil change after 90000 miles is better than no oil change and I also assume that ZF gave this number to be a little bit more in line whith the livetime oil filling which the most...
About 10000 miles without any problems so far.
Unfortunately it is not possible for me to put the matching Gladiator size on my trailer, that would be my preferred option.
My recommendation: Go fot it!
When we are talking about antique engines ...
I just read that GM is working on an updated version of the LS (which we will never see in Europe :crying:).
Would be great if Stellantis put the 6,XX litres version in the Gladiator. Best of two worlds.
Have posted this some time ago in a similiar thread.
A friend of mine is working in ZF and was part of the team designing the ZF8.
He strongly recommends to do an oil change at 80-90 thousand kilometers. It is not mandatory but keeps the original smooth shifting.
Absolutely, when I bought a TJ in 2005 it was like I have bought a car which was produced at least 20 years ago. Which was fine for me.
The JT is much more modern and for me as modern as I like it. Don't miss anything.
OK, automatic wipers (or however it's called in english).
My JT has a limited slip, but on wet curvy steep roads I always have to put in 4Hauto to prevent spinning wheels.
Maybe that's due to the diesel engine.
In my opinion "keep the system lubricated" is the wrong term.
It should be shifted from 2H down to 4L once in a while to prevent sticking.
I think 2-3 times per year should be ok.
I bought a TJ 2 years ago which hasn't been put in 2L for several years, nevertheless it was no problem to shift...
