  1. I was going to change the oil at 1,000 miles but dealer said I’d do harm. True or false?

    Dealers here send you videos of the work being done with proof it's your vehicle. They show the actual vehicle inspection as well
  2. Has anyone else had to replace the main battery negative battery clamp due to corrosion?

    I would take it apart, clean up the clamp, use a terminal coating on it, and keep on using. I don't like replacing things that are not bad or can be repaired. Yes, I'd clean it up good, and use No-Ox or dielectric grease and move on. Doesn't help that the battery and terminals are a filthy...
  3. Has anyone else had to replace the main battery negative battery clamp due to corrosion?

    Only because of lack of parts sold separately.
  4. Has anyone else had to replace the main battery negative battery clamp due to corrosion?

    That's not a start stop module. It's the IBS - intelligent battery sensor. And.........take all of that apart, flip over the IBS and bingo, there's a nut!
  5. I was going to change the oil at 1,000 miles but dealer said I’d do harm. True or false?

    Ask the people who changed and ended up having to replace cams. IGNORE most of the bull shit you see on forums.
  6. I was going to change the oil at 1,000 miles but dealer said I’d do harm. True or false?

    Break-in oil is a MYTH - no auto maker in the US uses it. It's been a dead thing for decades. But people believe myths more than fact because they are REPEATED as fact all over the web.
  7. I was going to change the oil at 1,000 miles but dealer said I’d do harm. True or false?

    Correct, and NO reason to not. I've gone over 7,000 on more than one occasion - the test results always come back "you could have gone longer". And hey - never lost an engine. Been at this since the 1970s, tons of experience building and repairing many hundreds of cars, lost track of all of the...
  8. I was going to change the oil at 1,000 miles but dealer said I’d do harm. True or false?

    Sorry, that 10K miles is not marketing BS. Modern synthetics can go that long with no issues. At least the quality oils can. I've gone many times over 7,000 miles and results come back "you could have gone farther". Oil chemistry and viscosity was fine, and wear metals not a problem. Other than...
  9. Remote start

    So it might not work here............. AT&T service stinks here. About the only ones that work well are USCC, now combined with T-Mobil. I've had people here who wanted to bust their phones because they could not make or receive calls. The most entertaining are HVAC and similar contractors who...
  10. Only 2900 miles and I think I have a fuel pressure leak down issue

    No surprise............. it makes total sense. Fuel pressure dropping and taking time to reload the lines and build pressure. Electric pumps are very different animals from others. Pushers, not pullers like mechanical pumps.
  11. Engine rattle in new Gladiator - better video

    Not possible. The PCV is up high on the engine. If you had twice as much oil in it as belongs, maybe - but you'd have to be going up almost 90 degrees to get that much oil up to the valve cover area. It's literally not physically possible to pull that much oil though the PCV with a normal oil...
  12. Engine rattle in new Gladiator - better video

    Hydrolocked? As in water in the combustion chambers? That's what hydrolocked means. It means fluid, such as normally water, in the combustion chamber, which cannot be compressed, locking the engine up. Hydrolocked is not at all related to detonation. Detonation can cause spark plug...
  13. Instant MPG disappeared from Fuel Economy screen on instrument cluster display.

    My 22 was an outlier there - it never worked. Each time, I simply had to wait it out.
  14. RAVE REVIEWS ON OUR REAR BUMPER LED REVERSE LIGHTS FOR JEEP GLADIATOR JT

    The reflector is required by law. If you aren't in a night time accident or there's no state inspection you likely get by. But they are technically the law. . Tor brought back a 3 year old thread to tell us you don't like lights you don't have I still love my oracle backup lights and use...
  15. Transmission drain and fill at 60K

    This is not just FCA. I can point to such things for decades in parts books, web sites, and more. If you knew what it took to manage such info.. .... I've found mistakes in Timken bearing listings, National seals...many more
  16. '24 Gladiator Willys tow rating (again...)

    Yes . ..a lot of changes on equipment combinations and more then.
  17. '24 Gladiator Willys tow rating (again...)

    Take your VIN and plug it in after the = in your browser's address bar. It will get you a build sheet, or should. https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin= The window sticker will NOT show the tow package if it's standard on the Jeep. My Mojave sticker does not show it - yet...
