Good question. You usually want a wheel load rating that is at least 1/2 of the highest GAWR. I just looked at my 21 Mojave, and the rear GAWR is the highest at 3750 lbs, which means the wheel load rating should be at least 3750/2 = 1875 lbs.
A clunk from the rear is fairly common especially with the factory Tru-Lok rear diffs. Both my JKR and JTM have a little clunk when going from D to R or vice versa and also if you are in a low gear and are aggressively on/off the throttle.
If you have Selec-Trac, your front axles will be...
I was looking at the 2022 Mopar Vehicle Lubricant & Chemical Catalog and noticed that it shows p/n 68524002AA for Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20 in an Ecobox. An Ecobox contains 24 quarts. So far, so good.
BUT, when I look up the price for 68524002AA at store.mopar.com or any of the online parts...
I first had the Regular/Long RokBlokz, but I wanted a bit more width due to the wider track of the Mojave. So I 'upgraded' to the XL/Long RokBlokz, but I trimmed both the width and length. They ended up a little wider than the Regular/Long, but the same length as the Regular/Long. And, as a...
Just get the Smart Stop/Start. Send a PM to Steve @SmartStopStart.com and he'll give you a code for a forum member discount and maybe even free shipping. That's what I did and I'm very happy with my purchase.
I most recently went from a 2018 Golf R (too small) to a 2019 Audi Allroad with a mild tune, to my 21 JT Mojave. I really enjoy the relaxed 'vibe' of driving the JT. There never seems to be any rush to get anywhere, never the need to pass someone on the highway, never the feeling of going slow...
I guess you can choose to argue about just about anything.
Either way, they are talking about installing a driveshaft onto components that it has never been mated to before. There are no alignment or 'clocking' requirements.
And, for the record, when I stated "The bolt pattern is...
There is a V95 recall for the rear driveshaft on some 2020 Gladiators. In this recall, there are instructions for installing a new rear driveshaft. There is no requirement to install the shaft in any particular orientation to the differential input or the transfer case output.
The bolt...
IMO, this isn't a good enough reason to allow the dealership to perform basic services. Buy the things you need, then keep the receipts and a record of when you did each service.
Too bad you weren't closer - I'd tell you to stop by and we'd knock out whatever you wanted to do.
I noticed a slight squeaking from all of my Mojave shock shafts, but I could only hear it in the garage, engine off, and pushing up & down on the suspension by hand. I never heard any shaft squeaks when driving.
If you decide to lube the shock shafts, I recommend using silicone grease only (...
I tracked down a very annoying whirring/whining noise to the e-brake cables as well. I ended up removing the cable bracket from the top of the rear differential housing and isolating the cables. It must be that the e-brake cables are transmitting & amplifying noise/vibration from the rear end...
If you are handy, you can fix it yourself:

Throw in big tires, a re-gear and DIY maintenance and it is even tougher.
I tried to get a goodwill repair on a Subaru. Had bought 5 of them from the same dealer, but never used them for service. All DIY maintenance done per schedules, all with receipts, including oil changes, air filters...
Gotcha. I thought you were looking for the parts guy to tell you the correct fluid part number.
Nothing wrong with trying to get a good price on the Mopar fluid. IMO, using the genuine Mopar fluid is the way to go. That way there is no debate abouth whether or not the fluid is correct.
I learned something new today. 3.6 Pentastar = "Sludge Brick" according to the interwebs. :LOL:
Correct. Most manufacturers could care less how loyal you are. If you bought a bunch of vehicles from the same dealership, then the dealership may try to help out on your behalf. But when it...
