An opinion is an opinion nothing more nothing less. Everyone has one even you. To the author thank you. It’s nice to know that overall the feature is unfavorable. I know my JTRD doesn’t like it because the restart is never smooth and without the Tazer it would be very annoying.

21 JTRD 76K

Very well said Sir……. I have only had an alignment after I installed my Mopar lift kit into my ‘21 JTRD. I have not utilized my Jeep Wave stuff either. The only thing I will use the dealership for is the HPFP recall and I am dreading that. All my mods from winches, power steps, on board air...

The Bilsteins w/ reservoirs are excellent that come with the latest Mopar lift kits.

Well I’ll give you my $.02. I just installed the Mopar lift on my 2021 JTRD and it is excellent. My reasoning was using a lift kit that was designed by the performance arm of the manufacturer of the JTRD. I’m on 35’s with a winch /bumper combo plus diesel engine at the front and a RSI Smartcap...

I too owned(leased)a 2017 GMC Canyon with the 2.8liter “baby” duramax with the hope that by the end of my lease Jeep would release the JTRD. They did and I purchased a 2021 JTRD. The GMC with the baby duramax was okay but it can’t hold a candle to the Jeep. IMHO the Jeep Gladiator diesel...

I have a 2021 JTRD with 67K IMHO the very best Jeep platform. Just put a Mopar lift with Bilstein reservoir shocks and I am impressed.

My scanner found mine was out. To confirm I took a piece of wood and wedged it between the brake pedal and seat… and sure enough it was not working.

You are correct. Engine exhaust braking is available but I opted for regen notification. As far as off road engine braking you must turn off all the factory nannies and use two feet then it becomes a tractor ?

I’ve read the thread and pretty much all the pros and cons have been discussed. The only point I would like to make has to do with tuning. There is no question the ecodiesel power plant is detuned from the factory. I am currently running the Green Diesel Engineering tune in my ‘21 JTRD and am...

He did pop his ball joint but the knuckle survived in fact Rory popped the ball joints back into the knuckle put the wheel/tire back on and gave him a tug with Trailmater and out of the tub he came.

The Genesis kit for the diesel was always designed to utilize the storage area underneath the back seat. I contacted them when the kit was introduced and asked why the kit for the gas engine couldn’t be modified to work with the diesel. The answer I received was there was not enough room...

If you look closely at the new grill you may be surprised to see the bars that separates the slots are themselves perforated which I would assume should increase airflow into the engine compartment and provide better engine cooling. The new grill may not be everyone’s cup of tea but if engine...

That is an excellent point however you will still get pushback from some of our resident “experts “. I have recently installed the Cascadia unit on my rig and it has performed flawlessly. But again our experts will probably disagree because it wasn’t their suggestion.

Taking my comment out of context changes my point. The point is by eliminating the auxiliary battery you no longer have another factor to sort out because it doesn’t exist. Now you are dealing with just the main battery to troubleshoot. That’s all I’m trying to say which is germane to the...

There is no hoopla. The auxiliary battery main function is providing power for the ESS system. The problem is that the auxiliary battery appears to fail more frequently than the main battery and when it fails it takes the main battery with it. Now you may consider this a minor issue however...

I would also mention that having aux/ESS issues in a mall parking lot and having them off road is not comparable at all. The parking lot is extremely annoying off road potentially catastrophic.

I have posted on this forum previously that the ESS/ aux battery is the JL/JT Achilles heel and the best thing you can do is eliminate the aux battery , remove the F42 fuse, and Tazer the ESS. My post was met by a bit of pushback. My logic was having witnessed people at various trailheads...

Maybe you should tell my dealership to use your scanner because they scanned my Jeep via the OBD2 port and couldn’t find the stored codes I found using my scanner via the gateway.

You may not see the code with a regular OB2 scanner. However if you can grab a scanner that can connect to the Jeep’s electronic gateway ( where you connect a Tazer) like an Autel Maxi Ultra you would maybe see more information.
