  1. If Your Lights Could Guide You Anywhere… Where Would You Go?

    As far from NOLA as possible! Grew up in dat parish.
  2. The wife's new Gladiator RubX build

    OUTSTANDING! Looks great to my old eyes! I have owned & enjoyed black vehicles during the cooler months in my youth. Bright, shiny wheels just fill the eye with pleasure. Have fun with her. Someone worked hard to earn the $$$$$$$ for such a reward. Thanks for helping keep America...
  3. Rear Ended

    Wow. What disappointment. If your insurance agent/agency won't help with your claim, find another insurer. That is why we pay the premiums. Happened to me on my previous blue Jeep J10 back in the 1980's. Is that why I chose white this time instead of blue?
  4. Great Deal on Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic 0W-20 79.33 5Qt 3 Pack @ walmart

    Beware ordering anything from Amazon. When asked if I want to join Prime, I ALWAYS choose NO. With Prime, Yes means yes & NO also means yes. Always check your statements in the months following an order. I have been entered into Prime four of five times after ordering. Good luck getting your...
  5. Considering a used Gladiator

    I purchased a 23 Sport "S" on 30Jun25 for just over $28k. $14k in trade allowed me to pay the balance & get the title. It was an Enterprise Rental Truck out of Texas. It was & still is well maintained. I could have had higher trims available for lower prices, but the black leather & vinyl or...
  6. 3.6 Penstar Poll!

    Water removes more heat than air. Larger radiator, larger hoses, higher capacity water pump...........................
  7. 3.6 Penstar Poll!

    The 3.6 Pentastar is my first V6. Never been a fan of the V6, nut this one impresses me with it's smooth power delivery, & fuel economy . Always preferred four & six cylinder inline engines & small V8's for small & midsize vehicles. Big (Think 460) V8's for the larger trucks. Diesels are...
  8. Considering switching from PUP to R&P

    I currently have the 5w30 R&P in both of my Jeeps. Not enough miles on it to notice any changes. But, I did not start with any problems. Cooler temps will arrive eventually, & I will return to the NAPA/PUP in 0w20 for the 3.6 Pentastar when the temps fall. It is also currently in a new 2.0l...
  9. 3.6 Reliability Issues Resolved ?

    Hmmm. Is the "tick" temperature related? I hear such for about 1.5 seconds upon startup from cold, but not when the engine is @ operating temp. Did the one in the video begin when reaching operating temperature? What about the two-step oil pump? Since it increases pressure during start-ups, does...
  10. New Gladiator, what to do?

    LOL 😂 I live in Mississippi! Mississippi is not known as progressive. Some may even say regressive. Taxes are low, so I am happy.
  11. New Gladiator, what to do?

    I spent over forty years working alongside of city & state LEO's rescuing commercial vehicles along city streets & interstates. The work was very dangerous where I was hit several times. Every one of those strikes were due to excessive speed. Two of my 13+ traffic stops were due to carrying...
  12. 3.6 Reliability Issues Resolved ?

    Low speed torque. Every pushrod OHV engine I have owned had grunt right off idle with the only exception I remember being one with low compression. My 4.7 mini magnum nor my Coyote had the grunt of a 5.7 hemi off idle. Pulling a trailer with the 4.7 was as pleasant as a double root canal. Engine...

  14. Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    Ooooohhh! That looks EXPENSIVE!
  15. 3.6 Reliability Issues Resolved ?

    Another WOW! OUTF(oops)Standing! I think most of us here are in need of an intervention - my M1097R1 (HMMWV) - getting a new top - repainting it - maintenance and will see how it does on the trails...
  16. 3.6 Reliability Issues Resolved ?

    Yes, the engine oil filter is convenient. Looks just like the one in my former 2015 VW EA888 1.8 TSI gasoline engine. I agree with your assessment that the 3.6 is an automotive engine; NOT ideal for a truck. I prefer pushrod V8 engines for trucks. I just prefer harvesting low rpm torque rather...
  17. 3.6 Reliability Issues Resolved ?

    Wow! There may have been some folks thinking you might need an intervention................LOL! Posts such as yours may bring some owners' anxiety down to a negligible level. Thanks!
  18. 3.6 Reliability Issues Resolved ?

    Yes, please tell, jwolfejt. Did you have a Glad, a J10, J20 Honcho or Comanche prior to the current crop?
