Yep, I had my charger set to AGM. And the voltage drops to 12.0 or below pretty quickly after the charger is removed. So my uninformed opinion is a bad battery (or batteries).

After charging, I still get the stop/start not ready battery charging message. I'm still under warranty and hope to convince the dealer I need new batteries.

Yep, left it all wired up and put the charger on it. Dealer had previously told me my driving habits were not keeping everything charged but I suspect a bad battery and wanted to see what happens if I charge the battery myself.

New question. I'm not an expert on electronics by any means. If I put a trickle charger on my Gladiator's battery terminal (on the terminals by the main battery) and leave it attached until the trickle charger indicates a full charge, am I charging only the main battery or does this charge both...

Because even when both tires are on a similar surface, the traction between the two is still not equal. One tire will spin easier than the other and that's where the power goes.

I grew up in Ohio, and my Gladiator came from a dealer in Ohio, but I no longer live in Ohio.

It's the left front, unless you have a matching spare tire on a matching wheel, then it is the spare.

The 2020 Gladiator with 17k miles was last driven two days ago (when the dealer charged the battery) and it reads 12.0 at rest on the dash. I compared it to the 2019 (not Grand) Cherokee (54k miles, driven last night) and it shows 12.1 and it backlights that screen in red so the Cherokee...

I took my Gladiator in this week for an oil change and the stop start battery message. I picked it up and they said they just charged the battery because it wasn't getting a sufficient charge with my driving habits. So I go to leave and the stop start message is still there and they never reset...

My old 2020 Wrangler Sport S gateway access was easy. My 2020 Gladiator Sport S is not. Guess it all depends on how it is optioned.

And in the end, if this settles, the lawyers will get millions and the the vehicle owners will probably get a $200 discount coupon to buy a new vehicle.

More places won't (or the toll can't) clear the codes now. They can read them but you're still left with the light on until it is fixed or clears itself.

If you disconnect the hood switch you also disable remote start if you have that on your truck.

Mine pretty much shows "not ready charging" all the time now as the status no matter how much I drive. I noticed it never came on even when I forgot to disable it.

Agreed, the MT tires need rotated regularly. Once they start to cup, they'll probably be even noisier when you rotate them. The only solutions I've found is to a) live with the noise or b) replace the tires.

Regardless of anything Consumer Reports says, Jeep could do better. FCA used Jeep as a cash cow, raising prices and cutting costs (and cheaper parts from suppliers often mean quality suffers). Will Stellantis follow the same model? It sure appears so as they are pushing back on suppliers again...

You need to contact a dealer with the numbers on the radio. Or there are services on eBay that can provide the code given the numbers on the radio. It would not hurt to record the VIN of the donor, but my understanding is that the VIN is not necessary to get the security code.

Cost reduction can take a tried and true design and introduce new weaknesses. FCA bragged about the money they saved pushing vendors for lower cost parts (and face it, in many cases quality is going to suffer when you push suppliers for cost reductions). Stellantis appears to be taking the exact...

Some places will not install parts the customer brings in, sometimes it even varies between locations of the same chain. I'd ask that particular store what their policy is.

I have the same Sahara wheels on my Gator Gladiator. I really like them - plus I got the set of 5 for $100.
