  1. Looking to buy 2020 JT any advice?

    I'd look at the build date. Anything built after April 2020 through at least early to middle of 2022, I would consider suspect due to COVID. It is my contention that those built during that time were the victims of a severe lack of quality control (personnel shortage) both in the companies...

  2. Buy Back or Max Care Warranty?

    The heater core is likely a fluke. The steering box was a recall / TSB if I recall correctly, the lifter and cam issue is 'common' and may or may not carry into the '22 year model (P0300 misfire is 'common' in the '22s), and the rear window leak seemed to have been isolated to the '20 year...

  3. 2023 Sport with Max Tow and Dual Doors, $35k.

    S###.... if that's a current actually out the door price it sounds good. My 20 Max-Tow is prior to factory "Trac-Loc". It was more than that when I bought it in Jan 20. The hurt feelings "my opinions will do". 4:1 low range is great in some areas but not necessarily in many places and a...

  4. 2023 Chevy Colorado just dropped... What does that mean for the Gladiator.

    Hell no. I’m not paying for a new one. They’re stupid expensive and I got mine for $8k off in 2/2020. They’re going to fix my shit. I’m so tired of their could not duplicate BS. It’s all being documented in case I have any issues outside of warranty. I’ve had several GM trucks and several...

  5. New member thinking of trading my F250 for a Gladiator...

    I’m rather chunky (profile pic) and I think of the inside of my 2023 sg JTS as a cockpit and there’s a coziness to that for me. I’m also soooo ignorant about mechanics but if they made this engine anything like the straight 6 from before it will last forever. I’m sure the real monkey wrenchers...

  6. What a difference a year makes (pricing)

    I think the trade in values have normalized but the new prices and used sale prices have not from what It looks like. I don't know I am fine in the truck but she seems to have a hard time with the seats on her back. We did a trip to Baton Rouge recently which is only 5 hours and she was...

  7. I think I’m moving on. Possibly

    Don’t really recall doing any “whining” as a matter of fact I regardless of the issues have spoken rather highly of the jt. I have also committed money out of my pocket to try and solve the over heating issues even though I personally didn’t have them “to try to help the community” as far as...

  8. 1,516 miles towing with my Gladiator, 11.2mpg

    I really didn't intend to derail the thread with politics. Usually nothing good comes from it when that happens. My initial response was to let another forum member know that insulting another member's state is just not right. I personally think California is one of the most beautiful states...

  9. Jeep reliability - most common issues?

    The gooder news - this is NOT a Jeep-only issue. Go hit the Ford and GM forums and web sites. It's a U.S. automaker thing. Possible causes? EPA regs on the chemicals and processes used to treat metals prior to painting, and the wild regs on paint itself. Who knows, it may be something else...

  10. More from Engine Failure

    In my experience, doesn't matter who owns it as far as the corporation at the top. They do little with day-to-day management of shops and so on. Dewey in Ankeny, IA is owned by the same corporate dolts that own Stew Hansen on the west side of Des Moines and yet their shops are night and day...

  11. I think I’m moving on. Possibly

    Be weary on f150s depending on the year. I’m a major ford guy and I personally would not own one from 2018-present. I would look toward a ram instead. The new fords and chevys have a lot of issues. Consumer reports for the most current year full size states they could only recommend the tundra...

  12. Because I read this forum

    38,000 on my 2020 Glad Rubi and not one problem.

  13. Talk me into it (or out)

    Unpopular opinion but it is true. Most jeep owners don't ride around with the top or doors off. They are a pain to take off and store. I take the front freedom panels off occasionally in the summer if I'm going to do a trail ride near the house but that's about it. I've taken the front doors off...

  14. Pentastar 3.6 Recall On Lash Adjusters, Allegedly

    Seems like only you and me, and MAYBE one or two other people don't fear these 3.6 Pentastar upgrade engines. I was working in the dealership when both the original Pentastar and the Pentastar upgrade engines came out, and currently have both a Charger and a Gladiator with the 3.6. I have seen...

  15. Disappearing Coolant

    Same thing here… I’ve been noticing a sweet/burnt coffee kind of burning smell when I accelerate onto a highway or even at 65 in cruise control. This has been happening for about 6 months and my Overland Glady is only 14 months old with only 12k miles and it was happening at 8 months with only...

  16. oil filter housing breakage

    I was thinking along those lines as well - track record for standard filter is pretty damn good. Don't see how this is justified - I have not seen/heard of many issues where you need to have an anti-drainback valve. The part covers the 3.2 and the 3.6 motors I guess that's why the years are...

  17. LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

    I drive on snow regularly in 4HI, even with the Falken MTs. I never have any problems, unless I forget to put it in 4HI and the rear slides around. I do plan on putting 3 peak tires on next. Certainly if you're driving in powder on jeep trails, I would think the lockers are better than limited...

  18. Making Center Console USB Switched

    Nope.. everything hardwired is done via the pre-wired aux switches. (Winch, exterior lights are hooked up in the engine bay. Dash cam, and wireless charger (which apparently has problems with Pixel phones) are wired in via constant and switched power, respectively. Nothing running off the...

  19. 2022 Sport S shaking @ 65mph SOLVED

    I hope it gets resolved too! If not hopefully dealer buy back gets approved by FCA. also I have read A LOT of people have solved this problem with lifts and aftermarket wheels. I just dont want to drop the money and it NOT be fixed.

  20. Towing RV with my 22 Sport ?

    I've tent camped all my life, still do when with friends. Wife & kids plus the Labrador tent camped with me until 2014. That's when the wife finally got tired of 'fighting' off skunks, possums, & raccoons while trying to make it to the campground restroom. ? We bought a new 2014 Coachman 16'...
