Trusting AI, it's a quadratic relationship; faster you go, the penalty increases, but slightly. A smaller engine will work harder (actual output vs. total output) at higher speeds to overcome the aero penalty. The 3.6L "makes" 285hp, and mild Gladiator builds such as mine seem to use every bit...

That can be an option, but sometimes you're part of a group or the trail is long and you don't know who's all on it until it's too late.

If I understand your question correctly, the obvious low-aero situation is where the engine idles much more than moves the vehicle, like sitting in traffic or on busy trails with a lot of stopping and waiting. Aerodynamics at slow speeds in these scenarios aren't enough to affect MPGs. I would...

I'm not ignoring it, I just didn't want to delve into a bunch of extra work; and I'm also not an aerodynamicist. And don't be a dick. Be better with your tone. We've discussed things enough on here you can be polite. Obviously they're not going to be the same numbers because it's apples to...

Yup. Even across usage in other models. Roughly 3-4mpg difference for the combined EPA numbers. Since Dodge didn't offer any different tunes for the 5.7l in recent years, it's interesting to note that the '21 RWD Charger was 16c/25h/19co while the '22 RWD 1500 was 18/23/20. Curb weight...

Did you get a cylinder indication, or just a general fault? If you have cylinder info, then you'll know which side, or if it's all cylinders. Worst case (and unlikely scenario) is new engine. Likely case: Intake cam & rocker replacement. Self-performed repair: <$1000. Lucky case: bad gas...

Well, other people are doing it, so it should be really easy for Jeep to do it at scale. Right? Right? It's not like Jeep has to produce 105+ JT392 per day (that's 1 every 10 minutes, btw), just 12. They can totally fit an assembly line off-shoot in their plant. It's so easy. /s I brought...

Car & Driver article edits the final quote, but other articles run what's in the KBB quote. I would have to track down the media call (ha, good luck with that one) and listen to it...

Right. We could compare against the full-size options, such as they are. Chevy charges ~$2500 to move to a V8. Ford doesn't seem offer one (I'm not trying ever damn trim they have), but upgrading the V6 options and hybrids are a nominal cost. Ram is about $1200. Jeep being Jeep would probably...

run forever without any maintenance or upkeep needed. we're in the age of "lifetime oil" in transmissions... up to 150k miles. But people don't really remember the fine print. one "problem" also can have 20 different causes.

It might just be an optical illusion since the Rubi/Moj fenders sit higher than the other trims. Accurate measurements should be done on the chassis itself for rake, rather than fenders (especially since there are tons of aftermarket fenders).

When you're in BFE, having the code definition is helpful because you can make a determination if it's a mission critical code or a nanny code. Knowing what the code is when it happens is either "Great, I'm walking out" or "I must & can fix this right here" or "BFD, no one cares if my tailgate...

Sage is for burning, not for advice. And what data? All the OP got was a lot of phony experts that couldn't diagnose a vehicle's questionable problem with inconsistent feedback through a virtual community. Asking for help on a web forum is 10x worse than a WebMD diagnosis. Next time someone...

If you don't look like this on the trail, are you really Jeepin'? ;) I have two 7" "Oh, I can see Canada from here" LED spots on the bumper, the little pods on the cowl, and I've had a few mounted on the bed rack for campsite & bed illumination. The cowl ones are ok, but I really need to yank...

I think you'll be fine with a leveling kit. Many have run them without issue for years. When you get it installed, don't forget to re-aim your headlights.

Or you can print out what the codes mean and have a reference. I'm sure there are more sources than this (it was the first one I searched for): Jeep Codes – TroubleCodes.net

That would be the smart ticket. However, idiots live among us.

Gee, if only one could figure out how to read and not be in such a hurry to prove to everyone their use case wrong and the only approved use case for a utility vehicle is his own. It's breathtaking amazing how fast you get there. Someday your speed won't outmatch your wisdom, but hopefully not...

One last blow before we call Elmer's. With added power come great irresponsibility. People who tow will be all excited to push that envelope. It's a V8 (or HO 6)! It can tow over 7000# easily! A lot of travel trailers are under 8000# - built for the 1/2-ton full size market - that are 24'-34'...
