  1. NorCal Gladiator Folk?

    I personally liked 37's and 3.73s for everything I did towing all over the western states at 11,000-12,500 lb combined until we got a wider/taller RV. Then I felt like I wanted 5% deeper gearing for when towing into a headwind to prevent dropping into 5th gear under a heavy load. My goal is to...
  2. Going on a trip… where should we stop and enjoy the scenery?

    Some great suggestions listed already! Are you really planning to drive coast to coast and back in 2 weeks? I would suggest more time or shorten the trip mileage wise to allow more time to enjoy your stops? We rode RT66 on motos last year......The 3 week loop leaving northern CA was 7001...
  3. EcoDiesel Throwing Codes at 73k miles

    $951 to replace hat axle sensor!!!!!???? The sensor kit is less than $100, oil $50-60,and labor shouldn't be more than maybe 1.5-2 hours? Even at dealer prices $951 seems WAY HIGH?
  4. anyone have Endurance as their warranty company?

    I don't accept 3rd party warranties at my business either! When we book an appointment for repairs, the goal is to have it out same day or maybe the next day if we need to order a part that isn't on the shelf. This benefits both us and the client since they get their rig back and we free up the...
  5. BEWARE - JEEP ISNT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS [LOCKED: USER BANNED]

    My reply was somewhat of an inside joke for the other members here. There was another thread years back where it was the guy's first post on the forum and the thread has pretty much off the rails even though the OP gutted it.......worse than a CA legislative bill! These are American made...
  6. 38” Spare Tire does fit in stock underbody location (how-to with photos)!

    What about pics of your truck with the eleven-fiddys on there? Same tire that I want next time. Had a Gladiator pass by on the highway a couple weeks back on some tall skinny (assuming 38x11.50s) and his tires looked super narrow!
  7. 38” Spare Tire does fit in stock underbody location (how-to with photos)!

    I'd wrap that close section of tailpipe........I cooked my 38" spare on one knob while towing.
  8. 8 Speed TCM Operation and "Learning" your driving

    On the ram, you just hit the "-" button, it shows what gear on the dash, and it defaults only the gears below with otherwise normal operation where on the Jeep it will stay in a gear till redline before it upshifts? If the music is on, it might downshift to 4th or 5th at highway speeds during...
  9. Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

    Making room for the new replacement that isn't a GTL base? Will the new label inform of a different formulation? ;) :) You go first!
  10. 8 Speed TCM Operation and "Learning" your driving

    What I would really like is for the trans to operate like the Rams......Set it to the highest gear you want it to use (7th while towing)and it uses all of the gears below that as usual? Also with the diesel, it waits way too long to downshift under a load, drops 2-3 gears, then upshifts right...
  11. Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

    Better get your Pennzoil Platinum while you can? GTL oils are going to be scarce for a bit with Shell's Qatar refinery down?
  12. Help diagnosing sound in turn

    THIS! It's your clutches chattering. Change the fluid and dose with friction modifier or just dose with the modifier if you have changed the fluid recently.
  13. FAD Missing

    I sent 4x4 Posi-Lok a message last month on behalf of you poor saps who got screwed out if the FAD advising them of another application for their product, but never got a response as expected. I've done a bunch of these over the years in Chevys and 2nd Gen Rams and think its the answer for this...
  14. Still driving JT Diesel around San Fran?!?!

    Did you notice that I didn't how I didn't cross that line involving politics in my post? For the record......... CA's governor, not mine.........I didn't vote for him. We up in the far north have been trying to bust away from the cesspool since 1941!
  15. Still driving JT Diesel around San Fran?!?!

    My understanding is that CA is supplying most of NV and AZ with fuel and CA is importing most it's the oil and a good portion of already processed gasoline. We have lost 2 refineries (approx 20% of refining capacity) in the last 6 months because the environmental regs were too stringent and...
  16. Still driving JT Diesel around San Fran?!?!

    I paid $7.99 yesterday in the mountains, but only bought 5 gals to top up. Honestly for the 4-6K miles I drive this thing per year now, It's not going to kill me. Most responsible people will just adapt.......Like less trips through the Starbucks/Dutch Bros drive though or cutting back on...
  17. Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

    I don't want to jeopardize my warranty, but I do believe my manual states the oil must meet the MS-12991 spec which the FS does. It may not say it on the bottle because of licensing rights, but Amsoil told me is exceeds the old bs spec. The later manuals actually state you must use an API...
  18. Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

    The screwy thing about the Penz and many other mainstream oils labeled as "synthetic" is that they really aren't synthetic at all...... I have a hard time not using a better product when it's available and will pay me back with longer drain intervals and protection. NAD allowed these...
  19. Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

    Funny how many times this is going to go around in circles. The MS-12991 is an outdated spec that Amsoil FS meets/exceeds? My understanding is Amsoil doesn't pay license the MS-12991 spec so it can't be printed on the bottle.
