  1. Factory Trailer Brake Controller releases ...EDIT: STILL WAITING

    Unless that trailer brake harness connector has a CAN bus wire on it I doubt there is display interaction. It's possible but hard to say without a wiring schematic. I have not taken mine out of the box to inspect, hopefully I will get some time tonight. Nothing in the instructions posted...
  2. Ecodiesel Max Tow

    Towing above the GCWR/GVWR is not specifically illegal in the weight ranges we are discussing with the Gladiator (sub 10k trailers and sub 26k GCWR). The law comes in when something happens because you can be negligent as it is your responsibility to know the limits of your vehicle. There...
  3. Re-engineering the brick (keyfob)

    That would work if you only wanted/needed to use the key, really all you need is a 'head' for the key to store the transponder. Unfortunately the circuit board needs to be included with the battery to make the keyless entry work (maybe downsize from the CR2450 to the more standard fob battery...
  4. Re-engineering the brick (keyfob)

    Another version to consider. No buttons. For me I don't use the remote start or any of the other buttons on a regular basis having the 'enter-n-go' passive entry option. The only other car key i carry is the 'sport' key for my XC90. It is the size of a standard USB thumb drive. This would...
  5. Is there a chart that shows the payload and tow capacity for all models - gas & diesel?

    The most up to date product spec sheets with those tables is published by FCA on their media site. https://media.fcanorthamerica.com/newsroom.do?id=430&mid=1015
  6. Round trip to mountains with 6850 lb travel trailer (max tow, 2” spacer lift/34s)

    The argument over the official 'tow rating' for your specific VIN will continue until FCA fixes their crappy web application that feeds both the phone app and the website. It is obvious there are issues but every vehicle that rolls off the line has a slightly different curb weight so there will...
  7. GDE is back and making EPA compliant tune!

    I am hoping the engine brake and high idle options will make a return as well. I miss those features that I had on my Grand Cherokee. The Gen 3 definitely has more power over the Gen1/Gen2 but tuned having almost 500lb ft of torque will be a game changer when combined with increased fuel...
  8. Round trip to mountains with 6850 lb travel trailer (max tow, 2” spacer lift/34s)

    I am not trying to sell you on anything or change your opinion and I am no expert, never said I was. Do what you want, think what you want. It sounds like you did some research but did you actually tow with a Blue Ox Swaypro? I have a feeling your 'local expert' a the trailer shop has not...
  9. Round trip to mountains with 6850 lb travel trailer (max tow, 2” spacer lift/34s)

    ^This is why I do my own research and don’t trust ā€˜local experts’ or the forums/Facebook tow police. Blue Ox is a different type of bar than the round bar style chain hitches yet it still uses a chain to provide tension. It is designed to bend like a bow and is under tension on both sides...
  10. Ecodiesel Max Tow

    Overloaded? Yes. Illegal? Technically yes. Severely? not quite. At 12580 GCW he was only 4% over the advertised GCWR of 12100 yet a WDH and load adjusted properly would still get him below the combined GAWRs for the load on the truck. All that being said it is still below the GCWR of...
  11. Round trip to mountains with 6850 lb travel trailer (max tow, 2” spacer lift/34s)

    This is not entirely true. I have Blue Ox WDH that utilizes chains and does very well controlling the sway. I have towed with a few different WDH setups and by far I like the Blue OX the best because it is dead quiet, does not require any unhooking when turning/backing and takes out nearly...
  12. Amp research power step XL

    I reached out to Amp about the diesel months ago. No answer. Just sent them another email now that I have my diesel. Maybe they will let me help them along with their R&D? For the record the DEF tank is inboard of the frame rail. Can someone with the XL steps installed take a pic of both...
  13. Mopar Trailer Brake Controller for Jeep Gladiator Officially Released (Part # 82215652AB)

    AlfaOBD can enable the software side, at least on the 2021 but it should be the same for 2020. Like anything else they design for 'dealer install'... I actually already have the trailer screens enabled. Of course the screens I want (Trailer TPMS from the RAM HD) are not playing along, I am...
  14. Mopar Trailer Brake Controller for Jeep Gladiator Officially Released (Part # 82215652AB)

    The biggest thing is it is a clean integrated install. I really don't like my Teknosha P3 hanging down under the dash and if I am going to buy another brake controller it will be the OEM. When poking around the BCM with AlfaOBD I was able to add the trailer brake screens to the setup menu...
  15. Jeep Gladiator Diesel

    One more thing I discovered today. There must be a difference in the bump stop on these diesel axels because the bolt provided by terraflex for the bump stop extension is too long. Had to swap it with a 1/2 inch shorter bolt but otherwise the kit installed just fine. 35x12.5 BFGs on Method...
  16. Jeep Gladiator Diesel

    You shouldn’t have any issues changing things with the Tazer. Worst case is they re-flash your BCM back to factory settings and you have to make your changes yourself. I know everybody on these forums seems to like Tazer products but personally I would go with AlfaOBD because you can work on...
  17. Jeep Gladiator Diesel

    Mine was ordered on 7/8 but missed the truck so I didn't get it until 9/30. It had to sit and watch as @Schreconjeep picked his up. I have about 400 miles on it so far, mostly highway but I did have to drive into the swamp (DC) last week. Here are my first impressions: Default on for Auto...
  18. Progress of building and delivering the Eco-Diesel

    That is the last page of the pdf I linked to earlier. The marketing sheets show those numbers but these owners manuals getting shipped with them have a different GCWR. Hoping the owners manuals were just a typo because the pdf spec sheet on their press/marketing site has had multiple versions...
  19. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    Glad it went well. Definitely a good dealership to order from. Now you need to 'mod' your signature and profile on here.... :clap:
