  1. Help me bring home my camper.

    You do need a brake controller, many threads on them. The Curt that connects to the trailer plug at the bumper is quick and easy. A WDH is highly recommended, but you can get it home without one, if necessary. Be very careful and take your time.
  2. How to: Update UConnect 8.4" via USB drive.

    You can get the head unit update, if it is needed, by ordering a Map Update. Part of the order process has you check and enter the current version. If the head unit is old enough, it may require two or more updates. The Map Update only works with the latest version, so they send it to be...
  3. How to: Update UConnect 8.4" via USB drive.

    How big is the drive? You may need to get a smaller one, like 8gb. Anything bigger than 32gb may not be compatible with the head unit.
  4. Is this battery disconnect still valid?

    There are two cables connected to the top of the IBS on the Main Battery negative post. One is the negative cable from the Aux Battery, the other is the cable connected to the chassis. Just disconnecting the cable from the frame should kill the power, but it is much easier to just remove the...
  5. Is this battery disconnect still valid?

    Disconnect both cables from the negative post of the Main Battery. Don't let them touch anything in the engine bay (I put a plastic bottle over the end of each cable). This will turn off the power to the truck.
  6. How long will a parked gladiators battery last

    How old are the batteries? Does it have a cellular equipped (remote features capable) head unit?
  7. New Gladiator Software Update Prompt

    If an OTA update is done, there will be a notice on the screen at the next startup. You can use the Map Update site to find out if an update is available for your head unit. Follow the instructions and key in the requested information as if you were going to order an update. It will tell...
  8. X

    The optional battery is 750cca. Check all the way through the build sheet and see if it's listed near the end with the package upgrades. Which battery is actually installed in the truck?
  9. WeatherTech Discount or Sales?

    I created an account when I was checking if it was cheaper to buy direct or buy off of Amazon. I searched and haven't received anything from them, so went back to the website and signed up for their news.
  10. WeatherTech Discount or Sales?

    Does their stuff ever go on sale or get discounted? I want to get one of these liners. I'm not in a big hurry, and was wondering if they offer any discounts around any of the major sale periods. I don't want to pay full price, if I don't have to. Buying direct from WeatherTech or off of...

  12. Overfilling engine oil to 12L+ (video)

    It's listed as only needing five Quarts, but a little extra doesn't hurt. Some might say that extra half helps it run a little cooler. They may do it so they don't have to teach the changer how to tell the difference between the ones that need five or six. The dealer did the first seven...
  13. How long will a parked gladiators battery last

    Jeep OEM batteries are not known for their quality or longevity. In my first Gladiator, they lasted just a little longer than the warranty. Others have had them die much sooner. These are what I prefer. You can pay much more for Odyssey and others, and get decent from Wal-Mart and Sam's...
  14. Need a sounding board for Tazer mini stress.

    It's not reported as a common problem, but is to be expected occasionally. Installing a Tazer is like having a hacker in the truck computer. There is a constant struggle for control over some things.
  15. Uconnect recognizes iPhone as iPod No CarPlay

    Try rebooting the head unit. Disconnect both batteries for about ten minutes. It will take up to 24 hours for normal operation to return.
  16. Power Inverter A/C Power Voltage Quality - Oscilloscope Display

    The cost for one person is not much to use better equipment. When dealing with thousands of vehicles, the cost grows and the effect on the bottom line usually becomes the deciding factor. These are not standard devices, they are customized to fit under the dash and be remotely controlled. The...
  17. Does the Fuel Filler Door have a manual release?

    Since the fill door is on the left side, it really helps to train yourself to use your right hand (if capable) to handle the nozzle. It's also supposed to be good for the brain function, if you are a lefty.
  18. How long will a parked gladiators battery last

    The Gladiator has a high parasitic draw, especially with the cellular equipped head units (remote features capable). If it is not being driven enough to keep the batteries charged, it needs to have a battery maintainer connected. It can sit for five to fifteen days, and still start...
  19. To repair or not to repair, that is the question

    Unless you have the time, skills, tools, and facilities to do the repairs, I would not bother with them. Strip off the pieces you can get some money from, and sell the rest for scrap. I would consider the full width bumper, depending on the cost of the repairs. I would want it to look nice...
