Sitting in the shop without being driven for an extended period brought you to this point. Disconnect the Aux Battery Negative cable from the Main Battery and separately charge each battery. Let them sit for a while and then check the voltage on each battery. Each battery should read close to...
It's probably programmed to stop displaying after the screen has been active for a while. It's Jeeps way of saying 'You bought a brick on wheels, why are you watching this screen?'
That's largely a myth perpetuated by the internet. The Aux Battery is more likely to outlast the Main Battery. Whether or not it becomes a drain on the Main Battery depends on the state of failure.
The Main Battery in my first Gladiator lasted 3.5 years from the Build Date. The Aux Battery...
ESS remains active all the time, it cannot be disabled. Pulling the fuse just forces the startup test to look at the Main Battery instead of the Aux Battery. If the Main Battery is charged enough, ESS will still turn off the engine with the Aux missing.
Check the high current fuse array on the side of the fuse box. It's common to blow one of those if there are any shorts during the process. The ends of the battery cables need to be kept isolated.
The other issues should sort out within a day. The head unit can take up to 24 hours to fully...

You can possibly order them cheaper and do the install yourself.
What you can order with the truck will vary depending on how the factory is feeling that day.
You can get a device for around $125 that will essentially press the dash button for you, and remember how you want it set.

I have nothing against the ESS, it seems to work fine. I always press the button after starting...
The problem with that logic and Mopar Extended Warranties is the price keeps going up as the vehicle ages. They are least expensive at the time of purchase and most expensive just before the 3/36 warranty expires. The start date for the Extended Warranty is always the in-service date of the...
If they came with the truck (factory installed) I just leave them. I have not yet had one that bothered me enough to go through the effort of removing it.
Now, if you live in an area that is particularly green and may be hostile towards your (as they see it) environment destroying vehicle...
I have the stock street tires on 20" wheels. I fill them to 39psi cold. They will go as high as 45psi traveling at 75mph in the summer heat. I run them a little high to try and help with fuel economy. They came from the dealer with a Nitrogen fill. I don't know if that makes any difference...
The CEL should clear on it's own, unless there's another problem somewhere. If it's still there in a couple days, have someone check the codes and see what's causing it.
Unhook the wire off one of the horns, cover the other one with something, and see how long it goes. Or, disconnect both horns and see how long the lights flash.
MPG is not something I'm concerned with, driving a aerodynamic brick and all. I do check it when I fill up the tank, just to see what it is. I'll occasionally scroll through all the menu screens just to pass the time when traveling. The current MPG has always been there whenever I scrolled...
I'm planning it, but have not got it done yet. I have a rack on my RSI Smartcap. Front Runner sells mounts for attaching lights to the rack. I have a 40" light bar I plan to put on the front. I have a couple pod lights for the back corners.
I bought my first Gladiator in July of 2019 and put 57k miles on it, all on pavement or well maintained roads. I got another one in February and have over 5k miles on it. I finally got time to go off road, but it was for work. I had to visit a remote antenna site in Tonopah to swap a...
The Ecodiesel drive train only has one configuration, so there are no towing differences to mention. The options it is equipped with will result in payload capacity variations.
The diesel model comes equipped with all factory options available for maximum cooling, which is barely adequate...
