It might be worth doing some digging on your own to find out if that is in fact true. I only say this because I went to my local dealers parts counter to try and find a $2 shift linkage bushing and when they went into their system they told me they could not be purchased separately and have to...
As someone that has driven the last 170,000+ miles on Duratracs on my JK I have been very impressed with these Falken tires so far. I think they're better in the rain then Duratracs and seem to have more lateral grip going around turns, but not 100% sure since I don't have a direct comparison on...
I stumbled on this in the morning and was interested, but now that I'm seeing the cost absolutely not. I'm getting all my windows tinted + windshield with Xpel Prime XR and it's a smidge over $700. Must be some magical film with gold flakes or something. Can't imagine a single piece of film is...
I know this is an old post, but I'm currently having the same issue and stumbled on this thread. I also used some green Rain-x as well so it seems like that is a contributing factor. I will be using prestone bug wash now moving forward which is way better anyway, but harder to find at least in...
I don't believe it meets specs unless it has a Chrysler MS-12991 rating.
Here is a short list and I'm not sure how often it is updated.

I'll never buy a vehicle off the lot ever again. The way I look at it is that vehicles now cost way too much to not get what you want. We're lucky enough to have dealers willing to do under invoice as along as you order and are willing to travel - take advantage of it unless you need a vehicle...
Well that is a bummer....I swear these manufactures just make everything more complicated than it needs to be nowadays. Stories like this along with the whole axle replacement for the locker sensor are going to make me question the the ability to fix this thing long term.
Yikes....I was just asking because I'm trying to determine if fuel additives alone are enough to solve the issue. Which is also why I brought up the fuel differences in the EU as it infers it's simply a lubricity issue vs design issue. If something works 99% of the time and has less than a 1%...
Unless you are putting paddle tires on the best tire is the one you can let the most air out of. That is the most important factor in the equation when it comes to sand and never underestimate what a couple PSI I can do. Try it out yourself, roll around at 18 psi and then drop it to 14-15 psi...
Did you use any fuel additives? I'm assuming no since there is none reported in the poll that have used additives. That said, I've seen that the CP4 failure rate is as high as 8% in the US vs just 1% in the EU due to our diesel being dry and the poll is now indicating a failure rate of less...
The truth is the engine is compromised due to the front end of the JL/JT and it will never be remedied by Jeep. They intentionally left out additional radiators that are included on the Ram 1500 EcoDiesels because they just didn't fit and there was no where to put them. Jeep knew this was an...
I suggest you hop on Youtube and watch Project Farms video on air filters which includes K&N. Unless you love feeding your engine more dirt I would advise against it. I'm sure you will quickly change your opinion after watching.
Is it real subtle when under like light load when driving like 20-30 mph? If so I've heard it before and I think the flutter noise you hear is the turbo vanes adjusting.
I think I get more waves from Wranglers in general with my JT then I did with my JK. I'll wave to at any Wrangler or Gladiator though and I make my wife do the same or else she is not allowed to drive it (that is the rule).
Anything is possible. I just saw a 600hp ecodiesel that is about to go into a pikes peak car. Look up chucklesgarage on IG. It’s a gen 2 motor but still. You just need to find the right people and parts. Oh and money.
Unfortunately it never will be. It's due to the tight packaging and front end of the JL/JT. The Ram 1500 has additional radiators that couldn't fit in the JL/JT so it was compromised from the start. That said, you only need to really worry if you tow through hills. As much as the gladiator is a...
I'll go:
- Why did you guys choose Gladiator
Was looking to sell my 09 JKU for a newer Diesel JL when they came out then covid hit so we put that on pause since my days of commuting are and still are over. Made a road trip to FLA in the JKU and on the way back after passing many Gladiators it...
