Yes, I am learning this. I was just responding to the post about being in the north.

Once again, notice I AM in the north, and the temp was 41 degrees outside.

From everything I've found, including the literature in the PDF files above, the thermostat is fully opened by 212 degrees. Something tells me that's not enough at idle, and the cooling fan doesn't come on until 221 or 222, so that's what's happening. I found this cooling fan info after reading...

I took her out for another drive and just got back. Temps are under 200 on the highways and biways. I pulled over and looked out over the water for about 5 or so minutes, letting the Jeep idle in park. The coolant and oil temps both steadily climbed from 195 to 208 or so. I figured they'd...

My original post is about whether or not my brand new Jeep is operating as designed or if there is a problem. I'd like to keep it at that.

Very strange. Why is my Jeep running so much hotter when it's not even working hard?

Can people please post their coolant temps at idle? I first noticed this yesterday while waiting in traffic. As mentioned, ambient air temps were in the 40s when I first saw it hit 220. I pulled off to a parking lot to monitor the situation, then shut the Jeep down. I restarted and it did it...

I'm not "freaking out," but this is a brand new Jeep with 500 miles on it. I'm not happy if there's a problem right off the bat.

So I guess it's the design. Damn, I'm surprised they want the engine to get that hot.

Is this normal? I mean, it's like 45 degrees outside and the Jeep is running way hotter than any vehicle I have ever owned. When I get on the freeway it cools down, but I'm wondering if there's a cooling fan issue or something. Does anybody know what the coolant temp should be at idle? Do...

How many people are using their new Rubicon without mud flaps? I am mostly scared of paint scratches and chips. I have never seen a factory vehicle throw so much debris up the side of the body before. To be honest, I don't care for the look of the RokBlokz and am hemming and hawing over what...

I love diesel engines. I've had four 1 ton Cummins diesel powered trucks in a row (still have one), had a Mercedes 300D, and I have a John Deere 4x4 diesel tractor. That being said, I was not brave enough to dip my toe into that Ecodiesel engine after all the problems I have read about it.

I think driving habits come heavily into play. He may be one of those leadfoot types who hammers the throttle everywhere he goes, and does mostly in town driving. That being said, what has always surprised me is how v6 engines, regardless of the manufacturer, seem to be quite thirsty and offer...

I don't think the problem will be getting rid of the 2023s, I think the problem will be selling the overpriced new vehicles moving forward. All of these manufacturers got greedy and completely lost sight of their customers' economic realities. I can remember every one of them smiling on camera...

I just picked up my Gladiator Rubicon a week ago this past Monday. I hadn't driven it too much but then did a few hundred miles the past couple days. All in all, I really enjoy driving it. First, I find the seat to be supremely comfortable. And all the controls are very close and handy. I am...

It could be legit. Some have claimed 30% off already. What I have found, though, is that there will be dealer added accessories that are not shown and that will push the price back up. You have to get something in writing showing all numbers, and you really don't know the bottom line until you...

No, it is before tt&l. If it were after, it would be a discount of somewhere in the vicinity of 34% off msrp, which would be nuts. Some have gotten 30%, apparently, but this is the best I could find. The "out the door" price varies based upon a person's local taxes, so the best apples to...

Np. I had in haste written a reply about Mopar mud flaps and realized I was not even talking about the right thing with you, haha. From what I have gathered, the Mopar ones do not work on the Rubicon models. Wish this thing would have come with factory mud flaps.

Nevermind, you said running boards not mud flaps.

My Gladiator Rubicon has less than 150 miles on it and it has become glaringly obvious I need some mud flaps. It is painting the sides brown and I am concerned not only with upkeep, but rock chips and such. Here is what it looks like just from the gravel road leading to my driveway. I was...
