All my Jeeps have been manuals. The Gladiator stock clutch is usable if you have nothing to compare it to, it's terrible if you know what a clutch is supposed to feel like. I waited and waited for a true manufacturer fix (as opposed to the "neutering" fix via software they offered). Finally bit...
A subtle contrast was what I was looking for, my thought process was that it kind of makes someone look a little harder. I considered vinyl, ended up going with acrylic. The letters are 1/4" thick, the pattern was flat black for the bulk of the lettering and gloss black for the outline to give...
My manual Gladiator is also a 2020. I don't want the manufacturer "fix" to be the neutering my truck torque. I've been waiting and waiting for a real solution and don't think one is coming. Have been seriously considering biting the bullet for 6 months or so on having a Centerforce II put in on...
This was the point I was at. For reference (if that contributes anything) is that my Gladiator is a 2020 that has the original batteries in it. Seeing the consistent high voltage, taking the aux out of the equation by disconnecting the negative and pulling #42, and then seeing the voltage drop...
Really is food for thought and part of the learning curve I guess. Sharing my observation and (on my part) largely speculation. We typically see that if the battery is the issue to always replace both. One is a humungous battery, the other looks like it should be in a lawn mower. Lol. Makes me...
Eleven days ago I opened a thread regarding the ESS and a video Scotty Kilmer released. It was quickly apparent that Scotty is a polarizing individual to say the least. At any rate, that post was the tail end of me searching for answers to something I saw - the story behind that post was the...
If you aren't familiar with Scotty, he has a ton of good auto info. The video addresses the ESS (start/stop) system. I know there's already a lot of discussion/opinion on the ESS; sharing with you all one more viewpoint. As for me, my Tazer has always kept my ESS off.
Thank you, your feedback is much appreciated. I checked out your youTube channel, JTR Spartacus, lot's of good content. The 20 degree hill roll-up was very interesting.
For the edification of others reading this thread; in summary, it was a Gladiator rolling in gear with no foot on the gas...
I've been considering going to a Centerforce for a while. Reading this post is putting that clutch replacement higher on the priority list.
Wondering a few things:
Bbannongmu:
a) did you notice a significant change in clutch feel when you swapped over?
b) did something happen with the stock...
Looking for confirmation of the usable space of the interior drawer height as 8". (i.e. the 12" in overall height has dedicated 2-3" at the bottom for the bottom of the drawer/wheels and 1-2" at the top for the deck panel)
It's with the Tazer (i.e. no Tazer = no PIN lock). I used it for a bit then ended up turning it off for 2 reasons. a) You definitely know it works since it creates a terrible grinding sound when it actuates the brakes - it does nothing damaging, I just didn't like the sound; b) all the thief...
This particular type is "ALAVENTE Side Window Deflector Rain Guards in-Channel", got it off of Amazon, just copy those keywords in the Amazon search bar; the concern I had with the other manufacturers I saw was that their product was so thin that people were complaining the rain guards were...
