  1. Stock Air Filter Replacement?

    I put a K&N washable filter in when I couldn't get the stock filter anywhere, and the stock one was getting pretty dirty. Finally after a three month wait, a dealership I'd ordered a stock filter at last year got a few in stock. Strange times.
  2. Spare tire worth the upgrade?

    Thanks! What they were saying did sound a little funny. Guess I'll go to DT for a new rim and another Yoko AT.
  3. Spare tire worth the upgrade?

    Just left the dealership. They had ordered an R18 rim to put the new Yoko AT on, but got sent an R17. Then they told me the spare tire lift mechanism would not work with a R18 matching aluminum rim. So I left getting a refund on the 5th Yoko tire I had bought. Were they mistaken or just...
  4. Spare tire worth the upgrade?

    Just got in five same size Yokohama Geolander A/Ts (255/70/R18) for the Overland, and the mechanic gave me the bad news that for some weird reason it's a thinner, steel wheel R17 spare rim. Dealership. Only charged $175 for a matched rim, so at least now I'll have a spare that isn't slightly...
  5. Weight distribution hitch

    I have the Recurve R3 with 400lb bars for a GeoPro 3200lbs dry, 4200lbs loaded. Have to grease it every week or so, but easy to use with easy to adjust loading and sway control. While measured hitch weight is 495lbs, the 400lb bars put on by the RV dealer may not be enough, as even with the...
  6. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    Except for the time I just got the warning after getting the PCM flashed with the charging system TSB in Longmont CO, and subsequently towing from Taos NM to Cortez CO. Maybe they should widen the parameters a bit more. But I'm just going to ignore those emails as long as everything else seems...
  7. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    I'm gentle going up mountain passes (35-45mph), pulling 4500lbs, not overheating, and highest transmission temperature I've seen is only 212F. But twice now if doing 2-3 mountain passes in a day I get a telematics Jeep warning email about the charging system needing to be checked immediately...
  8. Low charging or paranoid?

    Apparently its normal for the Gladiator, and we should be concerned primarily if a battery icon shows up while driving. I received two charging system email warnings now, but had two dealerships say everything is normal. Highway driving is 12.7-12.9V... coasting or braking and it jumps to 14.X...
  9. Warning Email (Charging System)

    It didn't rise for long. Highway average voltage settled back down to 12.8 - 12.9V cruising on the highway, with up to 14.6V when coasting down a hill. But today I got into a Jeep dealership and they checked the charging system. But first they performed a TSB on the 2021 Jeep Gladiator...
  10. Warning Email (Charging System)

    Well I just changed the main top battery ($238.74). Sitting idling at the Jeep dealership it reads 12.7V. It could also be the starting battery, but I'd have to break out the manual to see where that's at... so I did the first easy step with my limited skills to see if anything changes. And...
  11. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    Exactly... it was fun (?) driving on back roads and constantly pulling over to let people pass for that first 500 miles, but thankfully I did it in a couple days.
  12. Warning Email (Charging System)

    Thanks. I once let the battery run down by parking it in the garage in neutral. In the morning the dome light wouldn't even come on. I used a better than average smart charger and it was back to normal by the end of the day. I've heard that one excessive discharge can be fixed by immediately...
  13. So disappointed in this Diesel platform; wish there was a return policy.

    Strange. I've been towing a 3500 dry weight GeoPro (4500 loaded) for thousands of miles with an eco diesel. Just drove six hours from Wolf Creek Pass through the center of Colorado out to Grand Junction today. Going from 10,000ft down to 4600ft and back over 9,200 crossing the western slope...
  14. Warning Email (Charging System)

    Well I've had Audis and BMWs back when I was working with tons of overtime... those things threw codes ALL the time, and you just got in the habit of pulling a fuse or disconnecting the battery, and poof... that particular problem would never come back. I may get in the habit of starting the...
  15. Warning Email (Charging System)

    My batteries when running have never stayed in the 13.7-14.7V range. More 12.4-12.6 right after a start... and thereafter 12.8-14.0V. Maybe I have a bad cell in the main battery, but they checked the batteries with my first Jeep Wave service and said it was within spec. Sounds like mine may...
  16. Warning Email (Charging System)

    Have a jump box as described, and will do what you said. I gather you've not gotten one of those warning emails?
  17. Warning Email (Charging System)

    Yup, I downloaded all the apps for the Gladiator when I bought it. My Jeep. My Mopar. After that I started getting regular emails showing tire pressure, DEF remaining, oil service remaining, and the results of a 15 systems check.
  18. Warning Email (Charging System)

    I've got a 2021 diesel Gladiator. Did the first Jeep Wave service at 5000-6000 miles. I am currentky vacationing in Colorado at 8000 miles on the odometer pulling a light trailer RV (only 4500 loaded). Anyway, this morning I got the regularly scheduled email from Jeep saying my Jeep is...
