I tow a 16' Bambi with my diesel ~4500lbs loaded. Put in air bags, I know they do not transfer weight from the back of the truck - they just pick up the back. And given the % of trailer weight to truck weight a WDS is (IMO) absolutely necessary. The WDS actually transfers weight away from the...

Me either. I have never put more then 12psi in so I dont know if higher pressure makes a diff

I tow 5K Lbs Airstream, 500lb tongue. Use a WDH as it just adds to the safety. My is a stock overland and I never had any heat issues even in summer pulling New England hills. Mods, esp larger tires, will add to the stress/heat. Not a big truck.

After waiting and waiting for parts to be available I finally called the dealer. I was told there is no parts to replace - it is a software update. Seems odd to me

I pull a ~5000lb Airstream. Great fuel economy (~22mpg) and the rpms are much lower than the gasser at full torque and hp. Set up a weight distribution hitch properly and keep the tongue weight around 500lbs and you'll be happy. Don't expect it to tow or feel like a full size truck.

I had the EXACT issue when installing the same airbags - even the same conversation with Nick. The bags did not fill the space at all when jacked up. Thought for sure I would loose the lower plug. He assured me they would be ok. Been installed for more than a year and no issues at all - work...

I had some oil in the same place not long after I got it. I think ShadowsPapa right. I wiped it off and kept an eye on it. Nothing more. I have just under 10k on mine and its been great. Truly fun to drive and unbelievably good mileage - I get 29.2 mpg on long hauls empty, 22 towing a...

Thanks. Ya, the factory wiring was easy to find... once your upside down on the floor :-) 10k miles and it hasn't moved a bit.

That is one great looking truck. Nice Job!

Sure does look great. Safe travels :-)

8700 - almost all highway and light towing. Had a bad rear seal replaced at 3K - other than that it is a nice ride with no issues. I keep it in a warm garage and its never seen a trail - not a scratch on it. I think the only real things that can get you in trouble with a modern diesel are cold...

Wow - is that the 28' Flying cloud? How did you get the weight numbers to work out? And it looks to ride level! What kind of mods do you use? I'm pulling a 16' Caravel and I'm at 90% Max capacity (600 Tongue - 1290/cargo - 6k trailer is my max). I have to be really careful were I put things or I...

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Trouble is Jeep doesn't make this easy. I have an ODB reader and watch temps closely. Would be so easy to give us a gauge cluster in one of those useless screens... LOL I always give the diesel 20-30 seconds before shutting down as long as I haven't been hitting that turbo hard in the last few...

I just got my truck back from the dealer to "fix" a mess they made. And they rotated my tires to be helpful. Yesterday I got on the highway and at 72mph I got the death wobble. Mind you... Ive gone above 80 several times with no issue and the truck has 8k on it, so just a bit of a surprise. I...

So I called the service manager and arranged to have them clean the mess, provide me a car for the day and insisted on an extra oil change as comp for my troubles. While Im not happy about the mess and the time it cost me I think this is a reasonable result.

I don't know what scanguage is but there are two types of regen - active and passive. Almost all highway miles and my ODB reader shows the regen on and off all the time. 6500miles and - so far - no active regen. The passive regen pushes my exhaust temps to around 800°F - active should be above 1000.

Nice rig... and wow did you make out with the trade up! I have a stock Overland diesel with 18" tires and Im getting 29mpg highway and 22 towing my 5k trailer. Took about 1500 miles to get to those numbers. I love the way the big tires look but I don't do any real trail running so, for me, it...

Well I did get a phone call from the service manager. Was at work but he did leave a message. Basically a lame apology and a number to call him back. I know what it's like to deal with customers so don't envy the guy - esp when the mechanic screws up. ... and no, I will not be sleeping with the...

I ordered an Overland fully equipped and just love it. I have driven 6500 miles, Mostly highway... and I'm with trailless on the diesel. I saw how high the gasser needed to rev and said no way am I going to spend hours on the road listening to an engine scream. It pulls my 5k trailer at 65mph...
