I think I would score the Gladiator between a F150 and a Ranger ( Maverick). I have driven several F150's F250's Rangers Chevy 1500 and Chevy 2500. I think the Gladiator is quite capable of doing everything the F150 and Chevy 1500 can do except for towing. Depending on the Gladiator you pick...

If coils and plugs took care of it and he has written documentation of a recommended engine replacement, I believe my story would be heard loud and clear. That is criminal. Predatory shops like that need to be exposed.

Bluetooth disconnect is what I want! Like the Bluetooth oil funnels. Designed for when we get old Bill. When we get old? 😄 🤣

I must have gotten it confused with something else. I swear that 3.0 was used here in the states on a couple of Jeeps and on a few Mercedes vehicles. I see now that the 3.0l eco diesel is not the same engine you are talking about. Still doesn't sound like a robust diesel engine that will last...

Maybe live data works better with faster speeds? I use OBDLink MX+.

I love the 4.0! I also am very fond of diesels. The 3.0l does not cut it in my book. I have never owned one, but I have read enough about it. My wifes cousin had a Ram with the 3.0l and bragged on how it will outlast my Duramax. I still have my Durarmax. His Ram lasted about two years. He had...

That's in the "aw shit" flow chart. "Can you blame someone else, no problem."

I did end up watching several of his shows. A few, I sort of remembered.

The OP is stuck! Would he want that shop replacing an engine? I'd take my chances with a cam job over an engine change, with either of those dealers. Less to screw up.

Only misfires on acceleration and on the even side is screaming cam and rockers. Suggesting an engine replacement without taking the valve cover off is insane. If I were in your shoes, I would ask them to diagnose the ticking. It will require the valve cover to come off as well as the intake...

I didn't know my collection of funnels are obsolete. What in the world?

Sounds like the relay box is connected wrong. I will look at mine and send a pic. Now that I refreshed my page, I see that you figured it out. Good thing for me. My relay box was not going to be fun to open up. Darned cow catcher is in the way.

I belong to a Mahindra Roxor club. These Mahindra Roxors have a nice electronic cluster. Unfortunately, the Instrument cluster are prone to fail. The most common failure happen during a fail to start event when the battery is drained. It takes out the cluster. I think Mahindra could use a second...

I feel your pain. I have spent over $5000 in the last two weeks, trying to finish my garage project. A garage that I will never use, because the wife decided to move. I killed the garage door openers and the insulation ideas. When I finish this garage, I will have to start over at the new...

As Dan B. would say, " you got show a receipt or it never happened". 1977 Bronco was the best year!

If you knew about it and didn't have one while under warranty, they would install one for you, right? Obviously with my 2020, I don't have the drip trim. I don't think I ever thought about rain being a problem, so I skipped the dealer visit.

I can remember going to car shows just to see what is new. Did they change the front end, did they change the rear end or is it a total redesign. I miss that part of the auto industry. Just about every year there was some sort of change under the hood. Oh yeah, I remember special builds too. My...

The fix? Plug it in like an EV if you don't drive it much. I'm not a fan of ESS either, mainly cause it is not needed where I live. In the small chance that I get into stop and go traffic or if I see a traffic light, I could turn it on. Probably not going to do that. My 2020 still has the...

I paused thinking about replacing the bolt. Breaking another on removal is another risk. That rear one is not exactly going to be fun to remove if it broke off flush. I've had a set of new bolts and a gasket for over a year now.

I have a tic on my 13 GC and a missing exhaust bolt. Hmm? Related? Had a cooling issue 2 years ago. I kicked the fan to come on at 196f. Never see above 207f. I'd still like a 5.7l Gladiator.
