  1. Fins n Things with a Diesel Gladiator

    Imagine the smooth willingness to not quit of the diesel with a 4:1... Add in a sprinkle of the throttle control of the Offroad+ button in the event you need just a touch of more go. It's quite enjoyable.
  2. Last Year of the Gladiator (2024) -- says dealer

    I'm not doubting that they told you, I'm doubting what they told you. It may be a sales ploy to move product. I'd be shocked. The Engineer I saw in a video could only hint that all Jeep vehicles would have an electrification option...not that all would be electric. I suspect rear under seat...
  3. CP4 Fuel Pump EcoDiesel Recall

    Bosch is in the land of where there are ton's of diesel motors. Years ago I had a VW Golf with a TDI motor and did a ton of reading up. The fuel they have over there has much higher Cetane #'s...better fuel than the dirty fuel we had over here in the late 90's and early 00's. The US is the...
  4. CP4 Fuel Pump EcoDiesel Recall

    Yes. I received my first notice in October, I think.
  5. CP4 Fuel Pump EcoDiesel Recall

    I disagree. The parameters of the fuel is given to the manufacturer of the pump. Bosch knew what was going to run through it. It's a design flaw. This being said, if FCA gave Bosch specific specs to manufacturer and the contract had a Hold Harmless protecting Bosch, it would be on FCA. Since...
  6. 4.63 gears? Nitro not doing 4.56 anymore?

    Absolutely. You called it. No I wasn't bashing, but a little inconvenience can turn into an expensive nightmare if you're on a trip far from home and/or you depend on 1 vehicle for work and play.
  7. Good steps / nice concept, pricing way off?

    Sure looks like a lot of leverage there doesn't it?
  8. Software update

    When did they come out with a JBL system? Is it something you put in aftermarket? Jeep has had Alpine for Years...???...
  9. Newbie, need help with wheel/tire combo

    Definately recommend 17" rims. Cheaper tires and many of the tires that are 35" & 18's are E rated so you won't have the selection as you will with a 17" rim. For reference, E-rated tires come factory on 3/4 adn 1-ton trucks. Way too much tire. Secondly, the 17" tire will allow you to air...
  10. 4.63 gears? Nitro not doing 4.56 anymore?

    A word of caution here. I remember a video where someone's rear end went out. I can't remember if it had Yukon or Nitro gearsets. They had an oddball ratio and when they attempted to have a set overnighted they were backordered and not available. The only remedy was to change the gearing to...
  11. Good steps / nice concept, pricing way off?

    Interesting, but… I like the design, but it looks like it will actually get in the way. You’re only cutting 4-5 inches off your step in height. Seems like it’s easier just to learn and practice how to get in. Lift your foot in and rotate your hips so your butt cheek is aimed correctly and do...
  12. Convincing argument for full width bumper. Change my mind

    This is how I lost my TJ in 2000. Granted it was a set up accident in Dallas, but the passenger tire went back and up. Dented the floor pan, pretzeled the control arms and bent the axle. Totaled the Jeep. While it looks cool, the bumper definitely has a purpose. Sounds like a stupid...
  13. Can't decide on 2" or 3" Lifts

    No. The drive shafts use CV joints. Different than U-joints. It seems that 3.5 inches is the limit on the front. Any higher, the transfer case end of the front bottoms out the joint...from what I've seen here on the forum. The I'd go with the lift manufacturers recommendation on the carrier...
  14. Stop Sale Diesel Gladiator?

    I'm coming up on 22,000 and haven't had an issue. I do use Diesel Service on at least every other fillup, and pour a little heavy so It's always in there. This isn't new to me since I used the additive in my Dodge Ram the same way. It quiets the injectors, raises the Cetane level and in...
  15. Please Critique my New Gladiator Configuration

    Wow did they miss the boat on the lasfit unit. They offer the left switch pod with the CAT plug, but what about those of us that don't have switches but drive a Rubicon... Perfect opportunity to add the network cable plug for the right switch pod...but they didn't.
  16. Stop Sale Diesel Gladiator?

    So, I'm not a mechanic, but this sounds like an odd band aid. Inline filters go on before the fuel pumps. I don't think there's any way they would stand up to the pressures. ...assuming it's the fuel pump and not just the injectors generating the pressure. Just trying to wrap my head around it.
  17. Green Diesel Engineering or Banks

    2 different trains of thought. 1. The Lease issue if that is this OP's case or for others contemplating power adders. 2. Motor swap: No I don't have those kind of pockets, but by upgrading to the diesel increases my torque almost 200 points over the 3.6L...how much do you really need...and...
  18. Please Critique my New Gladiator Configuration

    I was originally thinking this as well, then saw that he has a trailer. Stuff that wouldn't fit in the bed may fit in the trailer...
  19. Green Diesel Engineering or Banks

    I'll just throw this out there, which may not get read much. I have no idea if you leased your vehicle and don't want to know. For those that lease their vehicles, you have no ownership in the vehicle. It's essentially a lease of use for a period of time. When you turn it in it has to be in...
