Well almost. Selecting the tow package from the factory also gets you cool and VERY useful items like the trailer hitch zoom camera, and there are strong hints based upon what we've seen around here that it also gets you a different set of coil springs with a higher spring rate. I will always...

My diesel built this past summer has cast iron knuckle as mentioned and also the iron steering gear housing. I've seen gas ones on the lots that have an aluminum steering gear.

So a set of those fancy hydraulic bumpstops would soak up the bumps then maybe? I was asking if it was a Rubicon specifically because it seems like a lot of guys with the issue are Rubicons. It still makes no sense to me why guys like me with, say, a loaded Overland on the same coil springs...

You measured this on a Rubicon specifically?

Yeah, and I was assuming he's not right. :CWL: I can't picture a dump trailer with even one load of soil weighing only 7,000 lbs. Even a small 14-foot dump trailer typically weighs around 4,500 lbs. empty.

So the front has never been changed since the gear installation? I'd change it. Like he said, it's quick and cheap so why not?

I've had a JLU and two JTs and all of them have been that way. Base coat only on non-exposed surfaces.

I agree in this case. A dump trailer is HEAVY on its own. Add dirt and you're easily into HD pickup territory. I tow heavier and larger than almost everybody with a JT, but even I wouldn't hook onto a dump trailer loaded with soil. Don't be that guy.

It's in the mail. Any day now... but you know how the mail has been these days. I did confirm that this QS oil is still on the shelves at my Walmart, and it's still $18.97 for 5 quart jug. So if analysis comes back looking good this will be the best deal out there.

That's what they did on my Ram EcoDiesel. Side benefit is that after the repair you get a free oil change as a part of the repair. :)

I don't think that has to do with the trans programming. I think that's related to engine coolant temperatures. 242F or higher will send the PCM into derate mode and it'll reduce power. If you have the 8.4" screen with Off Road Pages, you can use that screen to monitor all your temps at once...

It sounds like you guys may have a loose turbo pipe or oil line if your turbo is wet. The leak I'm talking of is the timing cover leak that runs down and makes the bottom of the engine wet.

You absolutely can make that assumption because the OP specifically asked about mixed driving, highway driving, and towing. And the users on Fuelly all contribute data from their own driving which incorporates ALL of those types. Over a million combined miles, the law of averages takes over...

I have a Scan Guage to monitor all this stuff with, so I'm not worried about it. I was just curious. Sure, I'll look into it. Shouldn't be too bad, it's right in front of the main battery. The way he explained it to me, the trans programming has a lot of torque management built into it...

Here's my advice: Go to Fuelly.com and look at the data there. It's hand calculated and takes out all the "I get 30 MPG on 37s!" lies you find on the internet. As of right now, if we combine JL and JT EcoDiesels nationally, with hundreds of thousands of miles totalled, it looks like the...

It can be from anywhere around the timing cover. My 2020 Ram leaked on the driver side. My Jeep is leaking on the passenger side. It both cases it drips down onto the oil pan bolts before staining the driveway.

Awesome! Did those of us who were early adopters get the regen messaging option or was that not available at the time?

Mine is leaking also and it gets worse every time I look under the Jeep. I've just been waiting for my dealership to get a rental vehicle for me because they have so many engine repairs going that they're taking a list.

Sounded like the shocks were not even attempting to dampen that. Good grief.

There were times I did go to manual shift mode. Thankful the Jeep comes with that. Part # is P68256850AA At this time, any changes would require the PCM to be mailed back to them. I already have cat-back exhaust and I've had a cold air intake kit on order since summer, so any day now on...
