  1. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I don't disagree but decided to wait since the Jeep drove fine plus they didn't have any parts and I would be on a wait list anyways.
  2. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I don't disagree, the fix sounds potentially worse and made the decision to wait based on the information received and the test drive didn't necessitate it.
  3. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    The way it was described to me is that in long right turn, the steering would "stop working". The Service Manager that I spoke to didn't know what the outcome would be but that FCA was working on a fix for the fix...
  4. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I signed paperwork Saturday evening for a smoking deal on 2020 JTR and asked about getting this TSB done before taking delivery and was told "The fix created a secondary problem and that FCA is working on a second fix" and was advised to wait. The new issue seems to be discussed in a couple of...
  5. Potential Diesel Buyer

    Exactly, this truck is a toy hauler not a tow rig and to use it at or near its capacity on a regular basis is asking for trouble and shortened life span.
  6. Potential Diesel Buyer

    This is like comparing apple to oranges... I'm not bashing Hemi's, I have two Jeeps with 5.7 Hemi conversions in them and they are a blast to drive but I'm not going to use them to tow anything with. If you want to talk efficiency, my very first RAM pickup had a Hemi and would get 5-6 MPGs...
  7. Potential Diesel Buyer

    If you're talking RPM to RPM, then yes I agree but have you ever towed similar loads with both engines? For a gas engine to make enough torque to keep up with a diesel engine, it is nearly red lining the engine so don't tell me that it isn't under an extreme amount of stress. The Eco actually...
  8. Potential Diesel Buyer

    I'm curious as to what gears and tire size you are running? I keep hearing people complain about turbo lag with these trucks, and i'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't experienced it enough to complain about it. I just wonder if it has more to do with gearing (most of the RAMs came...

    Similarly, the Hemi has a higher tow rating than the Ecodiesel in the RAM 1500 but the driveability is night and day difference. In similar situations, the Ecodiesel purrs like a kitten while the Hemi sounds like its going to throw a rod through the side of the block! If you are maxing out the...
  10. Potential Diesel Buyer

    How long ago was this? I've been driving 3/4 and 1 ton diesel pickups for about 15 years now and while at first, passenger diesel stations were harder to find, they are all over the place now (at least in the south anyways). In the last 5+ years, from coast to coast primarily in the south...
  11. How significant is the Hardtop Headliner Option?

    I see you're in Texas as well, a black soft top, even the black hard top without liners is going to be hot! My JK is not a daily driver but it is the first black top Jeep Wrangler of multiple previous Wrangler builds over almost 20 years (I've always used a dark tan or spice top before). The...
  12. Wide vs Narrow Track Axles

    Food for thought, all JKs got D44 rears but the JK Rubicons got 32 spline rear axle shafts whereas all others got 30 spline rear axle shafts. It will be interesting to see if Jeep does something like that again and wether the max tow (with the same wide track housing) gets the same axle shafts...
  13. 37-inch spare tire solution for running around town and easy trails?

    Just thinking out loud here...figuratively... One option that hasn't been discussed is to go ahead and carry the 35" spare and when/if needed, air down the 37's to approximately the same height as the 35 at full street pressure. While obviously not optimal with 3 flat tires and 1 at full...
