When I first got my Gladiator I loved all the storage places. Behind the seats, under the seats, center console, and glove. I loaded them all up with tie down straps, hitch pins, flares, tools, jumpers, compass, tire pressure gage, knife and anything else I could think of. About two months...

I posted this a while back and am very happy with the set-up. Particularly being able to use it as a cooler or freezer. And making use of the switched outlet in the bed. I've used this set-up on several long trips and it's easy to access - when you're not driving of course....

Another day and no CEL. Idles like silk now. What a difference. Not that it matters much at this point but, was the cam profile the problem or indexing of the lobes? Whatever the manufacturing “defect” of the camshaft was, it must have been minor - but enough to set off the occasional CEL. I...

Drove around town today. A lot of stop and go and about 50 miles. These are the conditions that usually set off the CEL in the past. I can now say for certain the idle is much smoother than before the cam was replaced. I’m guessing the cam was just enough out of spec to set off the CEL on...

Got my Gladiator back from dealer this afternoon. Camshaft replaced, no visible damage, scoring, etc. No other parts replaced per the RO. Maybe it’s my imagination but the idle seems smoother during my ride home. Fingers crossed ? Under the hood all seems to be back in place so let’s see...

Never needed coolant added and oil stayed clean - never had it tested though. Always runs great with all temps normal. Getting almost 23 mpg at highway speeds on flat ground. Never felt any serious misfires just an occasional lump at idle. All faults were set at idle speed or just off idle -...

Well, my Overland goes under the knife this week for 18-024-21 Cam etc. It has 16,000 miles on it now with 40+ CEL/ASS faults since new at 300 miles. The faults have come in groups, sometimes thousands of miles apart and then happening daily - and then gone again. It took almost 2 months for...

Thanks so much for the pic of Geri. Sasha is our second long hair. We had Cleo years ago that looked a lot like Geri. Sasha is now 3-1/2 YO and 139 pounds. Since we’re talking about keeping our Gladiators clean, Sasha’s hair has been a big problem - in the house too - Dyson has made no money...

This has been my experience as well. Around the door and hood hinges and body seams/gaps, the recess around the windshield, not even talking about the grill - and Florida love bug season - takes a lot of time. I will say that when I made the original post I figured I’d get skewered as being...

Ok, this is chicken sh@t topic but I’d appreciate some tips/products to ease the pain of hand washing the Gladiator. Let me start by saying I hand washed my F250 crew with a ladder rack many times - I’d rather take it to a car wash and pay the $12 frankly but with the rack, it wasn’t an option...

I was not happy with my Overland’s excessive rebounding when hitting bumps - particularly the rear. Too bouncy but I’m sure that’s the compromise that was made for a smoother on-road ride. After a lot of reading on this forum and much consternation about all the choices in shocks and springs...

I finally had the Steering "Gear" replaced yesterday per the bulletin at my local dealer. I have to say that, while it's an improvement for sure, it's no miracle cure for on-center slack in the steering. Not that I was expecting "rack and pinion" feel with the new style iron box. In...

I've got 11k on my Gladiator now and other than P0300 faults, that are being addressed next week by the dealer (hopefully), the stock shocks are really bugging me. I realize the Overland is geared more toward on-road use but the shocks are way too bouncy for my taste. Years ago I switched from...

Must be the one. Thanks! Anyone have "complications" as a result of this repair?

Well, my luck ran out this week at 9,700 miles. Almost every time I start the engine now, cold or hot, regardless of ambient temperature, I get ESS error - a CEL about every third time. Just got an email from a friend of mine: apparently there is a FCA Bulletin out for replacing the right...

Buy once and don't look back. There's plenty of good optics out there but, if you can afford it, a Trijicon ACOG with an RMR is hard to beat - literally.

I'm happy with this can and it does stay in place when filled. I'm afraid any "optics" for me would not be flattering. The only optics in my case is an ACOG....

I just bought this one on Amazon. Stainless and "hecho in China" but seems to be good quality and holds almost 8 gallons. And it fits under the Mopar Folding Bed cover even with a rubber bed mat. You may need to secure for off-road use but it stays put during "normal" driving. The only...

"Doing the math" - I love it! Sasha doing the math before launch!
