Great information.
So, since I physically removed the aux battery, taped up the aux battery positive terminals, I am “assuming” the two cables are attached to a bracket together because I didn’t inspect closely… tied up the cables and put the cover back on… could my jeep be dead because the...
Just to be clear in my mind.
The auxiliary battery has two positive cables running to it. They are tied together at the aux batt positive connector. One cable comes directly from the main battery connector/distribution connector. The second cable then runs up to the PCM Fuse Array terminal N3...
Admit one’s mistakes.
In an attempt to delete my Start/Stop Auxiliary Battery I killed my Gladiator….
Open the door…. nothing… dead… black… dormant… asleep… you get it… I’m sick.
I read up on the problems the aux battery poses. I constantly had the start/stop inop notification. I decided to...
Park Brake On or Park Brake OFF
Start engine and lot it go through the high idle routine for one minute thirty seconds and settle down to normal idle…. that usually prevents the loud clunk.
Occasionally I can start it and immediately shift to reverse and it doesn’t clunk, park brake on or off...
Sorry if my post has sparked tension amongst the Jeep owners society.
I simply wanted to educate newcomers to the Jeep ownership world that any changes to a suspension might have consequences that negatively impact how the vehicle handles.
I made a mistake and learned a lesson. I hope my...
they blew it off as… as many will say…
“It’s a Jeep what do you expect”…
The same dealership that changed the gearbox and left the steering shaft loose, put the gearbox on the left fender and scratched the crap out of it, had to tighten the gearbox mounting bolts after several months, replaced...
No sir, not a conversation to “manage expectations”. A conversation to educate, assist/help others, increase awareness, and very possibly improve the safety factor of the Jeep. I’m glad your rig handles well but mine did not because of a seemingly simple “kit”.
I’m writing to inform and share a piece of my Jeep story.
2020 Gladiator Overland.
Not long after I purchased my Gladiator I installed a Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit. I wasn’t thrilled by the factory stance. I understood the reason but felt a leveling kit and new tires would be the start of...
Not exactly a shock issue but I do want to get the word out.

I’ve experienced trouble with OEM steering components and bad gearboxes. I’ve installed...
This is an interesting thread. I’ve posted on another thread about the loud “clunk” I sometimes get after engine start when the truck sits usually overnight. Dealership blows it off as “it’s a jeep”…
So, I will start applying the e brake before placing transmission in park even though my garage...
We can’t be the only ones that experience this.
If mine sits in the garage overnight, regardless of the temperature, the engine will go to high idle, 1500 rpm, for what I believe to be an unusually long time. I would guess well over a minute. I never remember to time it until I start it…
If I...
I bought plates to do the alignment myself.
Steersmarts recommended 1/8” toe out
