Yes, but the main issue is that if it's no longer airtight and not sealed up in a controlled environment it's going to condensate on the inside. Any water on the inside of the Lense is going impact light throw.

I have abandoned the MS rating recommendation, but I'm not willing to abandon the API SN or SP rating as that is the requirement to keep your warranty intact. Unfortunately, T6 isn't SN or SP rated and is CK-4 by API. I never said it was junk - I said it was a worse performer. All oil is fine...

It’s been tested else where too. I could care less about what that guy says because I’ll never buy amsoil, but I do like tests. It’s not the right oil for this motor. Here is a test with worrying results on the Ram forum by a member that is well aware that he shouldn’t be running it...

Terrible. The oil analysis reports shows the 3rd gen motor to be extremely harsh on oil with it shearing most oils down to 30w around 5K. T6 was one of the worst performers. Regardless of what oil you use it's probably best to keep your oil change intervals short. I change mine when it gets to...

Correct, they went for the lowest bar possible so to speak as it covers the majority of trips. According to the Department of Energy 60% of household vehicles travel less then 6 miles per trip and jumps to 75% for trips within 10 miles. Obviously, the data is skewed towards cities and suburbs...

Nope. Just a hardtop with every option minus advanced safety group and ACC/Advanced Collison Warning.

Don't feel so bad. My JTRD only has a payload of 899 lbs and it's a truck. I moved from a Wrangler to a Gladiaitor so I could well....carry more things.

Not to derail, but you fell into the MS-12991 trap. I did initially as well until I read my manual. You are allowed to use any API SP or SN rated oil. The first being the latest and greatest API rating introduced in 2020. The MS rating is “recommended”, but it is required to be API rated. The...

The Ecodiesel doesn’t die with the Gladiator. It’s offered as a boat engine. FCA choosing to to offer it in their vehicles has no impact on its overall production. https://www.vmmotori.it/en/marine/mr-506-sh3.html

if I had to guess stop signs and street lights. These things do not like stop and go. When we talk highway we mean ALL highway. If I’m on the highway I just set cruise control to 72 mph and I get 27+ mpg every time. If add any city driving to the mix let’s say 25% city and 75% highway mine falls...

It simply doesn't exist. It already has all the parts that come on a max tow package (minus fendors), but because of the additional weight of the diesel it has a lower payload and tow rating thus no "max tow". I believe the non-rubicon diesels have a tow rating of 6,500 lbs. But don't take my...

They most likely made him sign an NDA. I did when Jeep had to buy back my 09 JKU with 233K miles on it when they couldn't uphold their lifetime powertrain warranty. I negotiated KBB, but slightly different circumstances since it was nowhere close to new.

I don't. That is why I own a diesel and I'm not deleting the AUX battery. Neither one is a real issue. I would consider a battery not lasting 3 plus years a minor issue, but that is not a design issue. It's a poor manufacturing issue. That was why I asked who makes the OEM battery. There are 3...

Yeah, data is data and with almost 100 people reporting that is a pretty good sample. You have anything else to look at? Even if it is lower around 8% that is still bad. I wouldn't say 1 of 10 Jeep drivers being stranded of a dead battery in the 1st 2 years of ownership good no matter how you...

Anyone know who actually makes the OEM batteries? I already know they're junk, but with the poll shaking out to around a 12% failure rate within 2 years that pretty much confirms it. I'll just replace both batteries with quality batteries made by East Penn Manufacturing (Deka/Napa) when one...

So have you gone to the dealer? It sounds like your timing cover is leaking which was a known problem with a small batch of them.

That can't be right. Mine is a 2022 (build 1/18/22) and came with one.

factory. The Jeep intake is smaller and has less filter area and comes with an additional gauze like layer. The ram version are bigger and do not have this.

I went with 70% on my windshield. Not one person so far was able to tell it's tinted unless I tell them. I also wanted to be able to actually see at night. 70% isn't enough to really make any difference visibility wise, but it will stop heat..

I agree. In my JKU I used to just keep it full blast at all times and it could barely keep up. That said, my old Jeep didn't have carpet so the floor was always hot. Now I just keep it to 67-69 degrees and it barely blows and maintains cabin temp no problem. But I also have my windows (including...
