  1. Say goodnight, Gladys

    Here’s hoping Gladys took all the pain In this situation. You can start over with another Jeep and only have 3 months of memories tied to her.
  2. Power Steps

    These do slam and clunk when deploying and retracting. It makes me smile to hear them. Them’s a real man’s power steps. :LOL:They ain’t dainty. Even with the slamming, they won’t hurt you. They will detect resistance and stop. And yes, the top flat portion is very stout. You can stand and...
  3. Power Steps

    FWIW, if you have the Aux switches, I recommend using Aux 1 or 2 to power the RSEs. Those two can supply enough current and make for a cleaner install, IMHO. The kit comes with a little switch and bracket for under the dash if you need/prefer that. Mine are a great fit for me and my truck with...
  4. AMP XL vs Rockslide Engineering

    ā€˜This ^^^ With the info shared by others, I knew not to go at these with a big impact gun. I have a looong breaker bar that let me get things loose in a smooth and controlled way. I also would relighted a bit here and there to help possibly clean threads a tad. Out a couple turns, then back in...
  5. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    To my understanding the difference in the ACC and non-ACC windshields is just the checkered shading across the top. There is no real difference in the glass itself. It sounds like they quoted you an OEM ACC version versus an aftermarket non-ACC. When I had to replace mine, the price delta was a...
  6. Power Steps

    I have the RSE and did the install myself, well, with my brother’s help. The extra pair of hands are very helpful with things that are a bit unwieldy. I have managed such things alone in the past but it took me a lot longer, ensuring I didn’t ding the truck or the new accessory. The extra hands...
  7. What price shenanigans have you seen dealerships do?

    <rant description = ā€œfeel free to skip but this is cathartic ā€œ> I’m old and jaded after so many transactions. Car salesmen by and large have been bottom feeders most all my life. I have had a few positive experiences but those are far out-weighed by the BS these sumbitches pull nowadays. It is...
  8. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Nothing cool, just a couple yards of mulch
  9. Reprogram after windshield replacement

    I had mine replaced and the glass guy said it was not necessary. He does replacements for various area dealers. He said he would happily recalibrate if I really wanted to give him the money but he had never needed to do it on any of the jobs for JLs or Gladiators. I’ve not noticed any change in...
  10. Am I the only dummy....

    My memory is full of guys maneuvering a truck in reverse with the door open and head sticking out so they could gauge their proper positioning. Now the truck is built to disallow this learned, and firmly imprinted, behavior. I doubt any consideration was given to ā€œtruckā€œ usage. We will likely...
  11. The bed outlet... anyone use it?

    I’ve used it for my 120v chargers for my battery powered tools, drill, impact, saws all, circular saw... 400 watts is better than the 150 watts in my JK inverter But still not enough to carry anything heavy. Look at the label on the device you want to use and ensure it isn’t more than 400w.
  12. allmopartparts.com compliments

    A few orders, all good. :beer: To Benny
  13. Dead Gladiator

    Yes it can. There are noted cases where the dash went nuts and the vehicle stopped running and left folks on the side of the road. BUT, that really depends on the nature of the battery failure. A battery that is just a little weak won’t likely do that. I’ve had one develop an internal short...
  14. AEV 2” spacer lift vs Mopar 2”

    ā€˜I did not measure closely. It seems very even to me. I was after an even 2ā€ to give a bit of clearance for 37ā€ BFGs. I was not wanting to adjust the rake. This kit gave me what I wanted.
  15. Dead Gladiator

    A faulty battery (or any power supply) can leave electronic modules confused. A reset will clear those if the power supply is good when the reset is done. The root cause of the module confusion is not possible to determine from afar. The single most common problem reported has been the...
  16. Dead Gladiator

    The main battery does drive the starter. The aux battery is there for supplying electronics when the ESS is engaged at a stop. If that battery gets low or goes bad, those components can/will malfunction. Both need to be ok. The aux drives the smarts, the main provides the heavy current for the...
  17. Curious how many of us would have bought a Gladiator with a 392 Hemi

    Given a reasonable markup for the option, I would have done it. The HEMI is just an awesome engine. GM had no real need to put the Vette engine in the CTS-V years back but they did and folks bought it. Im running 37s with my Rubi 4.10 gears and the Pentastar does just fine for me. I do not find...
  18. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Agreed. The useless dullard won’t help his neighbors and expects the government to do everything for him. Be a contributor to your community, not a leech. Help where you can. That’s how I was raised.
  19. Remote start cold temps.

    A bit of normal driving should keep your batteries topped off on charge. I first check all my connections Just to spot any obvious problems. A tech once reconnected the positive terminal incorrectly putting an aux power ring terminal under the acorn nut that tightens the cable clamp to the...
