On July 3 when the order books opened for the Ecodiesel, I saw with glee that 2021 was also bringing a Selec-Trac option to the Gladiator, but as I delved into the details, I was disappointed to see that it was not available with the Ecodiesel. Discussion here at the time suggested the reason...

I ended up with the JTR EcoDiesel and the 2 inch Mopar lift. I have seen no reason to change the OEM tires. I actually kind of like being able to drive my Jeep without having my tires screaming at me. I can even listen to the radio. On the freeway. Granted, the noise is based on tread...

Welcome. I started this thread when the order books opened for the EcoDiesels back in July so that all of us who ordered them at that time could compare notes as to what we were hearing regarding the build and delivery process. Since the initial wave of Eco Diesels has been delivered, not...

May be too late to help you, but for future readers of this thread, I have it, I use and like the ACC part and would buy it again. The auto braking feature has beeped twice, but has not locked me up yet. The ACC is the "aggressive driver" somebody else mentioned. My wife does not like it...

I have a JTR EcoDiesel with a Taser and I am getting my little email reports. I even got a notice that I was getting low on fuel yesterday.

If you were asking me, the trailer and cargo in it combined were about 2750 pounds.

Utility trailer with Kawasaki Mule. Houston to San Antonio with no trailer and ACC set for 75. 23 mpg. Trip back, 2750 pound trailer weight. ACC set for 65. 14.6 mpg per trip computer. Pulled it like nothing was back there other than downshifting a bit on hills, sometimes to 6 but usually to...

Towed for the first time yesterday. Houston to San Antonio via interstate, ACC set for 75. 23 mpg per trip computer. Picked up trailer and Mule in San Antonio, weight of approximately 2750 pounds. Returned to Houston with ACC set for 65. 14.6 mpg per trip computer. Downshifted to 7 and...

Yes, very true. My driveway is pretty flat, so that is not the difference.

I need to provide an update on mine. It has been in the garage the past week and I have been driving my other truck.. I got the OEM oil and went out to put in a quart, but decided to check the dipstick again. It was reading only 1/3 quart low Instead of just shy of a quart. When I checked it...

I am assuming the oil in it is the FCA oil, so I sucked it up and got some from the dealer to top it off.

Any body else found their oil to be a quart low after 2000 miles.? The steel cable dipstick is a new one on me too. It has been a while since I have broken in a new engine, but I don't recall other vehicles burning oil at first. No visible drips.

Ham radio install i finished the radio install the other day. My objective was to have a spot to mount my remote head radios on the dash and do something with a DMR radio I sometimes use that does not have a remote head. I decided to use the compartment behind the rear seat on the driver’s side...

That is a great question and I have been trying to decide. I don't think the ride has changed much, if at all. I was trying to decide just this morning on my way in to work whether there was an impact on the steering. I am not sure. Maybe a bit, but nothing too drastic if I have had it on...

I have never noticed any diesel or DEF smell in my JT. Now with around 1500 miles. It does have a chemically “new car” smell that I attribute to the plastic in the interior. The climate control has been on “auto” since I drove It out of the dealership. Maybe a mile or two in defrost. Have not...

Wow. Sorry to hear of your frustration on this. I have the BAK Revolver X4 and it was installed in no time and it fits like a glove. I wonder if they sent you the wrong model? I hope they make it right.

I had been averaging 24 and change driving in town with 1000 miles, which means a lot of freeway time at 60-65 and some surface streets. I took my first road trip and was going around 75 or so on the interstate for 250 miles each way. Gas mileage dropped to around 22 on that trip. Once you cross...

Here is mine with the Mopar lift. I have not measured it, but if there is a rake, it is not bothering me, at least yet. On the subject of bad instructions, the Mopar parts diagram for the rear suspension is wrong. The diagram and parts listed are apparently those for the JL. For example, it...

Jeeps and Whataburger. A great combination. I can tell those are Falkens. Are those the OEM tires? Looks great.

I am putting on some Rusty’s lower rear control arm skid plates, but don’t plan to swap tires or wheels right away, if at all. I told my dealer I wanted a lift kit when I picked up the Jeep a month ago now. Since I know the owner, they reserved one for me, but say this is not something they...
