  1. Diesel Tuners Indicted for smuggling...

    They will go after the individual buyers after they are done with all the suppliers. It won't be difficult, they are getting lists of buyers from each company.
  2. Lets talk Coolant for the Ecodiesel

    Never had a reason to test it, didn't have any issues with the system. The color of the coolant visible in the tank never changed.
  3. Are the batteries really isolated during ESS stops?

    The intent of the Aux Battery is to protect the computers from low voltage situations that would lead to reboots. It would make sense that the battery separation only occurs when these situations are most likely, and that is when the starter is activated. Keeping the batteries paralleled until...
  4. Lets talk Coolant for the Ecodiesel

    I drove my first Gladiator for over 4.5 years and put 57k miles on it. Never had any issues with the cooling system, and did not add any coolant during that time.
  5. AUX battery my 2 cents - had to vent

    Using anything other than AGM batteries requires a charge controller for the battery. Some Lithium batteries have it built-in to the battery. Temperature is a big issue for Lithium type batteries. If it gets too hot or too cold, they don't function properly or they fail.
  6. Do our trucks get software updates?

    The cellular equipped head units are capable of receiving OTA updates. They don't happen very often. The other components have to be updated by the dealer, and that only happens when directed by Jeep while doing repairs. Issues that pop up and then go away with a restart have been reported...
  7. Add 3D printed drink holder.

    That's nice and all, but it should be on the other side. I use the parking brake, so it would have to be removed every time I stop. I also don't like my drink being that close to me.
  8. Battery Issues Aux battery not charging

    The Aux Battery will drain faster due to its lower capacity. The computers and head unit are on all the time, they never shut off. You need to get the electrical system in proper working order, and then chase down any issues. Letting the failing Main Battery drain the Aux Battery every day is...
  9. Dead Battery

    The OEM batteries are crap. You did well to get the three years out of them. The maintainer kept them from dying sooner. Using the maintainer should help get a longer life out of the new batteries.
  10. Battery Issues Aux battery not charging

    Replace the Main Battery. You should have replaced it with the Aux Battery. They are paralleled together all the time, except during the startup test and during ESS events. The failing Main Battery is draining the new Aux Battery.
  11. Extreme Terrain + Teraflex = Hell

    Did you pay with a credit card? If so, contact them for assistance.
  12. Does my 2020 Gladiator support Apple Carplay Auto?

    It should work. Look through the settings. Screen mirroring for the phone has to be enabled.
  13. AUX battery my 2 cents - had to vent

    I did a write-up on my install, but it was about five years ago. I transferred all of it when I traded in February. Warn sells a cable kit for mounting a winch at the back of the truck that works well for connecting another battery. This is actually a third battery. The factory Main and...
  14. AUX battery my 2 cents - had to vent

    The quickest and easiest is replacing the Main Battery with a 94R (H7) battery, if yours has the smaller H6 size. A DIY version of the Genesis dual battery setup works well for many. I left the factory electrical system intact, and added a Smart Isolator and Deep Cycle AGM Marine Battery in...
  15. AUX battery my 2 cents - had to vent

    There's really nothing wrong with the design. It appears to be based on a Mercedes version that has been in use since around 2013. The heat that is trapped in the engine bay shortens the life of the batteries. The Aux battery will last a little longer in the gas models, due to the location...
  16. Jeep patents Front Bumper Bench Seat

    It was posted in a thread about something else. There wasn't a post just for it. I had some vague recollections after seeing a picture of it. Too bad it hasn't made it to market.
  17. Jeep patents Front Bumper Bench Seat

    Slow day for the reporter. He posted the story a week ago, but clearly states that the device was debuted at Easter Jeep Safari last year.
  18. Mopar extended warranty purchase. The good, the bad and the insane!

    They told me about the free oil changes. The dealer purchases a Oil Change Service Contract for you from Mopar to provide the free changes.
  19. Mopar extended warranty purchase. The good, the bad and the insane!

    It depends on the dealer. When I bought my first Gladiator in July 2019, it included three free oil changes as part of the Jeep Wave program, and six free oil changes paid for by the dealer. When I got my second Gladiator, from the same dealer, it only included the two free oil changes from...
  20. How much weight on front end is ok

    If you are sticking with the stock suspension, you will want to keep any weight additions to a minimum otherwise the ride is going to suffer. The diesel engine adds about 400 pounds to the front end. This is way more than the Mojave suspension was designed to handle, so diesel was never an...
