  1. Possible shock mount recall

    Fun. The techs here can hardly change oil I don't know how I'd feel about them welding critical components. Do dealerships usually have decent welders or do they out source it to a local body shop?
  2. Ever wonder what 2 door Gladiator's dimensions/specs would be...

    On most other trucks the wheelbase and length stays the same between crew cab and extended cab. Just move the bed/cab interface forward and backward about one foot.
  3. Pentastar V6 idle

    Seems smooth most of the time but does stumble here and there almost like it if it kept going it'd stall out. Seems the PCM drops idle a little too much then raises it back a little and it smooths out. Definitely idles smoother than my Frontier did though.
  4. Basic operational questions

    I basically tone out sales. Some are just rambling and pull information out of a lower orifice on the spot. Before buying a vehicle I obsessively research it for weeks or months. I've looked into problems, powertrain, options, built exactly what I want and located it on your lot. Not to be a...
  5. Hi, I'm Dirty Dick Saylor from Tampa, FL

    People use the factory nav in cars? I don't think I've even touched it in my Jeep, just plug my phone in and use AA/CarPlay.
  6. Jeep Bluetooth Speaker add-on

    It is, just not reliably. I've had to factory reset it more than once because it'll not pair automatically and holding the bluetooth button to get it into pairing mode doesn't work without a factory reset. I've seen several other reports of them being unreliable here. I figure I'll try to...
  7. Jeep Bluetooth Speaker add-on

    You'd be better off with a different speaker. The one provided by Jeep sounds decent but is finnicky at best. If I know I'm going to use a BT speaker I just grab my JBL speaker on the way out and toss in the truck since I can count on it pairing without fumbling through a factory reset every...
  8. Climate Control is Posessed!

    Try hitting the recirc button. I'd guess it's the high pressure air at the base of the windshield while driving forcing air through the system including the heater core. I haven't noticed it in the Jeep yet (almost always keep it on 70/auto) but I've had multiple other vehicles that do it.
  9. First oil change....AMSOIL 0w20 or 5w30.

    It's not just lubrication that the oil is used for anymore, it's also used for hydraulic purposes. Chain tensioners, cam phasers, lash adusters/lifters, the pins that lock the rockers together to switch cam profiles, etc. all run on hydraulic pressure supplied by the oil system. From FCA to...
  10. Recall on the backup camera

    Drive it around then after you put it in park leave it running and it should pop up on the screen. It'll say the transmission must be in park and key off to update. Hit update now, then turn the car off but don't open the door (turns RAP off). After the radio reboots and starts the update you...
  11. Recall on the backup camera

    Got the notice last week and the update screen on the radio today...and it failed to install. I'll be hoping it tries again soon because I will not be going to the dealership just to get this done as I avoid any dealership here unless absolutely necessary. Edit: It popped back up this morning...
  12. Gladiator Much Harder to Work on Than Previous Models

    The most obvious to me is the refrigerant lines across the passenger side cylinder bank. Going to have to drain the A/C system to change the spark plugs?
  13. COVID-19 Stories

    Nope, 400+ miles SE of Gallup and not Marathon. :like:
  14. Overall who's pretty pleased with the power output of their Gladiator

    I don't live at the same elevation as you but I was surprised at how much more responsive off the line the Gladiator is than the lighter, more powerful Canyon I traded for it. The Canyon was definitely faster but needed revved out where there's rarely a need to rev out the Jeep. The engine is...
  15. COVID-19 Stories

    I haven't been on forums much but Monday at work they basically told us corporate management has decided that unless you are essential to the day to day operation of the refinery we don't want you here potentially being a carrier so GTFO and work from home until further notice. All projects shut...
  16. Virus Impact?

    Based on other countries, production and dealerships, probably. Logistics, probably not, but if the dealerships and factories are closed there's not much need to ship them.
  17. This virus is killing my new truck buzz

    I definitely would prefer to not have a car payment right now. Ran some numbers (though % seem to be varying a little source to source and day to day) for the rural, BFE town I live in. Current estimated population: 72,000 Infection Rate of 70%: 50,400 Severe Cases (O2 required) rate of 15%...
  18. Hidden/Buried features of the JT

    On the 8.4 system when listening to SXM it's always recording your favorites and as you scroll through it starts playing at the beginning of whatever song is currently playing. Also, the mute button pauses whatever you're listening to.
  19. Key Fob want stay closed

    The key fob is one of my least favorite things on my Jeep. It's unnecessarily large and the key likes to switch blade out in my pocket and ends up stabbing me in the thigh. The only solution I've seen here is discussed here...
  20. Downpipes

    The 3.6 doesn't have exhaust manifolds, they're integrated into the heads. I'm not sure what would be gained.
