If I hadn't found my 98 12 valve I can almost guarantee I'd have a 7.3 temor f250 in velocity blue. That engine just enthralls me with the kick back to simplicity in everything but the variable oil pump.
Just wanna toss out Ford now offers the 7.3 as a crate engine.
*Whispers* Do It.
I will be keeping an eye out for a rear ended super duty to snatch a 7.3 and associated electronics from.
Those of you who had it installed by the dealer without consent should start by checking it for a SIM card.
If it has one, you should swap it into another device and cost them some money. Start watching Netflix with it.
I'd love to get my hands on one and play MITM modifying the NMEA data...
True, but you also have to account for the tactics us auto sellers pull compared to what they do in the rest of the world.
In the US, auto companies specifically do these things to reduce the number of manual sales and give an artificial reason for people not to buy them as well as so the...
So...buy a JT to turn it into a less open JL?
I guess if you bought the topper ezlift system and their tent kit with the tailgate down a 6 foot person would be able to sleep in the bed without being too cramped.
Maybe fully separated dog kennel.
Help me out. Why buy this as opposed to a jl...
Drove the 3rd gen in the 1500 about a week ago. While I was looking at trucks during the employee pricing event near the end of the year. Reacted just like the tfl video I have mentioned before. I was hopeful that was still pre production issues but nope. Just as bad of lag as my '16 if not...
Just watched it. Rofl don't pre-wind that diesel up and watch the gladiator walk away while the diesel finally realized you are asking to start moving forward.
The ecodiesel turbo lag is something special.
Dear God given the weight difference I would certainly hope it beats a 7.3l HD pickup.
Where do people get these goofy oil change cost comparisons!?
4x the cost?
The ecodiesel is allowed to use rotella t6. $20 for 5 quarts engine needs 8. Filter is $7-$30 depending on whether you want uncertified white box chinesium or genuine Mopar.
My 3.6 takes a 5 quart jug and partial 6th...
If you were just in 4 high, it's very difficult to get all wheels spinning in thick muck. This platform just doesn't have enough low end oomf for that.
In 4 low locked, granted they won't be *wildly* spinning, but they will be spinning.
If traction control was activating your Jeep should have...
With it being the Jeep "experience" they should have chefs there to make extravagant food that looks and smells extremely delicious that they then don't put up for sale.
When customers ask why they cant have any of that stuff they are droooling over, have staff say it was a prototype, not cost...
Ya know size wise if they were to retool the old 318 it would fit perfectly. Those are physically tiny compared to the current hemis.
Ford just brought back a pushrod v8 with the new 7.3l. a 318 or 360 modernized in a gladiator would be an item id scramble to buy.
The key signifies it's tied to ignition. Putting the key in it had no effect on the alarm other than placebo/coincidence
As was stated above, there is a coil in the start button. Since fca introduced this style start button the manual has specified to push the keyfob against it if the fob...
Beat me to it.
Starting to wonder if someone on the board at Jeep gets his jollies off showing what some desperately ask for only to tell them, nope won't be made and this one ain't for sale.
Any publication that writes about this particular vehicle should refer to it as project blue balls.
If you have the super installed at an ase certified shop Edelbrock takes over the power train warranty for the remainder of the factory 3/36 warranty.
They are also one of the few to get their kit emissions certified even with CARB.
I'm sure titan tanks will resolve that issue for a nice fee just like on the earlier ecodiesel rams. 39 gallons on those.
Or in the case of the 3/4 ton, 55 gallon.
Truthfully after seeing the price, and final options I really don't get the appeal either. I understand his position completely.
Buy a power wagon or a Gladiator? I'd go power wagon every time with current options. Save for a few trails that simply wouldn't physically fit the power wagon I...
It's the same as sudden wheel loading off road.
That tire keeps free spinning then hits the pavement again and grabs traction. The inertia has to go somewhere and often that's a broken driveshaft, ujoint, spider gears, or axle shaft. Spinning a wheel wildly then slamming it on the ground with...
To me its not a question of whether it will last to the 150k miles or not. It's the principal of making stupid design decisions for the purposes of planned failure/obsolescence and making the replacement of such parts so difficult that the majority of people will need to take the vehicle into...
