I thought I would share this with the group. Especially those that are trying to understand the failure of the High Pressure Fuel Pump (CP4). Today I had the recall Z96 done and the HPFP replaced with the "new" style. I wish I could get another new one to tear apart and see the difference. But...

Back in December 2022 I replaced my fuel filter. I noticed metal in the bottom of the filter housing. So I removed the volume metering solenoid on top of the HPFP to inspect for metal. It was in there also. Back then I had a great relationship with the service manager at a local dealership. I...

I have watched numerous YouTube clips of others replacing and priming after replacing the Diesel Fuel Filter. They all do the procedure listed in the owners manual several times 5-10. Some open and shut their door each time. Some wait 60 seconds between procedures. And they still all crank for...

Last weekend I took the Gladiator on a little trip to Moab. I wanted to complete another segment of the Kokopelli trail. This was from Onion Creek to Dewey bridge via the infamous "Rose Garden Hill". With a Mopar 2" lift, 35's, and carrying a slide in camper. Other than kicking out some stacked...

We wanted a capable overland vehicle and chose the Jeep Gladiator. Then a custom built Phoenix camper. And the rest has been history. We camp wherever we dare. (No I don't plan on anything this extreme again) If you pick good lines, stack rocks, go slow, it really wasn't difficult for the...

I have read that the 2021 Rubicon EcoDiesel has the same frame supports as the Mojave frame. Is this heresy or does someone actually have a reference that it is true?

Today we took a drive up over a couple Mountian passes to 10,000ft. We stared with a full tank and just as we were about home I took this pic. ❤ our EcoDiesel. (2” Mopar lift on 35s) EDIT: I was mainly posting this so that others could see the range of the tank. This is the best I have seen so...

Here is a couple of clips from last winter in Utah. We love winter too!

Has anyone installed a bypass oil filter on their EcoDiesel? I have heard they do a great job cleaning up the oil and promoting engine longevity. Here is one I am looking at. There is room down by the engine mounts for mounting the filter. The hose runs would be very short also...

I decided when I ordered my Gladiator that I would document Mileage, Service, and Repairs for the life of the vehicle. Here is every drop of fuel that has been used along with MPG and Fuel Locations. I also Have a Pop-Up camper that we use to overland. I hope this can help a few of you as far as...

We recently had a great trip from Utah along Big Sur. It was still closed due to the slide. But it made for a great camping spot. Next to Highway 1. We love the pop up camper.

My 2021 Ecodiesel has begun making this sound. I have narrowed it down to what I believe is the HPFP Bosch Pump. There is 11k miles on the engine. Thoughts anyone? It sounds very sporadic. Using a stethoscope I cannot hear the "tinny" ticking sound. Again your thoughts? UPDATE: I had it at the...
