The differences are just that. Radiators and oil coolers, FCA couldn't fit the same amount as they could in the Ram 1500 for example so the Jeep is compromised in this regard. I have the same temps as you and that is totally normal. Same for the trans temp, the trans runs on its own thermostat...

Nothing inherently wrong with them. I had them on my JK and had no issues and will buy them again for the Gladiator when the time comes.

Most likely didn't set your windshield in the right spot and the gap is creating a whistling noise. This was very common on the JK as well which I'm assuming is the same issue here. Jeep even makes a "windshield installation spacer" to prevent this very problem, but I have yet to see anyone even...

It doesn't look like it has the little lip/flat spot that transitions from the hood bulge in the center to the leading edge of the hood. Unless it's the light/angle of the photo.

Agree, I got mopar filters from diesel filters online for like $40-45 and that was oil and fuel filters. Cost me $120 to do an oil change with Pennzoil which was about $80 for two jugs.

So for those going the cooler route when parked, I would recommend opening your tonneau cover up to let the heat out. Not only will it help save ice but I found out this weekend with my Rtic 65 baking underneath it got hot enough to actually warp the lid and broke the seal creating a gap at the...

Do you have something to monitor EGTs? What are they now? I have a suspicion this will fix the majority of overheating issues although you still have an EGR cooler in place.

In the end I know that diesel owners will be much happier than driving an underpowered gasser. I know I did it for 13 years. And that is why every person in here said it's the better engine and got it after driving both back to back. The only people that complain are penny pinchers and those...

I don't think you understand how the warranties work, or the differences between them. There is no difference between the gas and diesel warranty other than the length of time. That is it. You get a "Basic Limited Warranty Coverage" with either gas or diesel that covers everything within 36K...

You left out the best part, the plastic oil cooler that needs to be replaced every 40-60K miles due to it cracking. The diesel poll in the diesel section says otherwise. Actual engine-related issues are about 1%, the other 4-5% are either emissions or fuel pump-related. I haven't seen anyone...

I guess. I can’t wait for my warranty to be over so I can make it better and simpler like every other diesel owner. 64k miles is still a big difference and years of additional piece of mind unless you pay up for the extended warranty. Most people don’t keep vehicles long enough to matter...

I see a lot of debate about maintenance and costs so here is mine coming from an 09 JKU. Cost to fill in NJ based on when I fill my tanks with todays costs in my area: JT: $97 (16 gal @ $6.05) JKU: $90 (19 gal @ $4.73) Now with the JKU I would get about 280-320 miles per tank which is $0.28-...

I'm not sure I understand your rationale with using spacers vs correct length springs. In every way possible springs are the better option here and will give you more travel with heavier loads vs compressing an already soft spring.

I think the bigger issue is parts not being designed to be easily fixed because of some smaller parts it shares. For example, I keep seeing stories of Jeep having to replace the whole axle on a Rubicon because they don't sell the locker sensor separately, or the poor guy thats been in the shop...

This is rampant in North Jersey along the I-78 corridor. Affluent homes minutes from the highway and about 20 min from the ports in Newark. They will scout during the day at shopping malls etc. for high end cars and follow them home and come back later at night. Happens pretty much daily around...

I always knew spare tires were useless on this thing.....

Doesn't have to be a personal sale. You can unloaded it on carmax, carvana or one of the many other online sites buying vehicles for absurd prices with the bonus of not having to deal with lawyers. It's not a quick process and I just spent over 3 months dealing with a buy back. If you still have...

I would either lemon it or sell it depending on what you think is a better option. Lemon laws exist for a reason and you just got a bad one. I would get another one without worry seeing the poll in the diesel section indicating 95+% don't have issues. It proves the majority don't have issues...

Considering the Jeep itself will flag if the oil hasn't been changed within the specified time voiding warranty I'm calling BS. I read that for the diesel if you go past 10K miles without the oil life gauge being reset your warranty is voided, but not sure what that would be for the gas motor...

Not sure about jscan, but the code is stored in the BCM and not the PCM from what I read which is why you can't clear it. Even if you clear the PCM it will comeback is it is not stored there and is simply being tripped by the BCM. There is a lot of talk about simply swapping PCMs to avoid...
