I don't get it. Guy asks for advice on a good way to add more power. Why not keep the thread focused on that question? If someone wants to debate whether or not the 3.6 "needs" more power that's a different thread.
Come on, we all know that you are taking your diesel - with plow - to the track :LOL:
But seriously, that's too bad. Maybe there's a thread on a heavy duty truck forum where people are comparing notes on winter tires. I knew a guy who ran the Nokians on his 2500 Cummins (below), and he liked em...
I had two additional thoughts...
First, did you order the LT2s studded from the factory, or did you have a local shop stud them? I have found there to be a really big difference, and now I always order the tires studded from the factory. I think Nokian does a better job than any local shop. I...
I haven't tried General winter tires, but I've heard good things about them.
Here is the thing: when you switch from an AT tire to a winter tire - any decent winter tire - the difference in winter traction is so much better that it feels like some sort of revelation (cue the angels playing...
We live at 8500 feet, and winters are long. Lots of snow, lots of ice. We always run snow tires, and they are on our vehicles almost 6 months a year. I've tried many different brands / models. This is just my experience, and other folk might have different experience...
The Blizzaks were...
You know a ton about all this, so this suggestion will already have pinged on your radar, but if you drive in snow and/or ice a lot, get a set of Nokian Hakkapelitta LT3 tires, and you should be glued to the road! It’s not really more money, since you don’t put miles on your summer tires in the...
Hi folks,
Thanks for the replies. So it sounds like there has been no change to the design of the defroster. I remember reading about people buying plastic inserts on Amazon and using them to redistribute the air flow. Kind of disappointing in what is a pretty expensive vehicle for its class...
Thanks for the reply!
It seemed like the issue was sort of common - but sometimes these things get magnified on forums. But here are some of the things that were circulating a couple of years ago:
TFL commented on the defroster when they had a Gladiator:
Threads like this one on the JL...
I have tried searching the forum, but couldn't find an answer, so...
When the JL and JT were new, there were complaints about the defrost not working very well. Has this been resolved in newer model years?
Thanks in advance.
This is a bit dated now (I'm not on this forum very often), but maybe someone will get something out of it. All the best!
I went to the Grenadier driving event at the Ram Off-Road Park in Colorado Springs on Friday April 21, 2023. I got there early, and they let me drive the course before my...
Oh for sure. The high output version is ridiculous. I was just pointing out that the standard version (which is still too high strung) makes more torque than the existing V8 options from Stellantis - at least the truck versions of the V8s. Of course, the 6.4 in the Wrangler (referred to as the...
The Hurricane is a turbo-charged I6 (not a naturally aspirated I6). It makes crazy levels of torque, even in its standard output version (which is likely what would go in the Gladiator - if it ever makes it into the Gladiator). The standard output version makes more torque than the 5.7 liter V8...
I think re-gearing makes a ton of sense. The diesel engine has a fairly narrow power-band, and I would think you would want to keep the ratio between gear size and tire size as close to the factory spec as possible. I would guess something like this for the 3.0 Ecodiesel:
Tire / Gear
33 / 3.73...
^ My thoughts exactly. We ripped doors off Defenders in the 1980s and they were still a bitch to bail out of. No IEDs back then, and you couldn't up-armor enough for a TM-62...
I think the Standard Output (SO) version looks great! It is also the one that will likely come to the Gladiator - IF - and I repeat - IF - Stellantis decides to put it in the Gladiator at all. I believe the High Output (HO) version will be reserved for the Challenger, and expensive SUVs.
I...
Great work with the tuning - I know you have been at this for a while - congrats! But your producer is the real star of these videos - this made my day! :clap:
