You learn something new everyday. I wish I learned this sooner though.
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to cars, but I do try to make the effort to learn about them.
Today, I learned you're never suppose to overfill the gas tank. Usually when I fill up at Costco, after I hear the click at...
By chance does anyone have a recording of what the “click” sounds like? I’d like to find out if what I’m hearing is the same.
I do occasionally hear a clicking noise
when I’m turning the Gladiator at low speeds. But it never really seemed like an issue - it never impaired performance.

Thanks, ShadowsPapa!
I have a SunJoe SPX3000, but for cleaning the underside of the Gladiator, since I'm not 100% sure where the electrical components are (Although Im crawling underneath the truck to get a better sense of them), I'll use the wand mentioned earlier. At least this way, I avoid...
Hi ShadowsPapa,
I really appreciate how knowledgeable you are in regards to cars, trucks, and maintenance.
May I please ask for clarification’s sake - which part of the undercarriage should I avoid high pressure washing, specifically the underside components where you mentioned electrical...
I read that Jeep was one of the few companies that still had rust-proofing done on all its vehicles.
But given that it's meant for a rougher life, do you think it's just better to make peace with the idea that at some point it will get some funk on the undercarriage?
Don't get me wrong, I...
I was thinking the same. Unless I'm going up to Big Bear or Tahoe, I doubt they're salting the roads on the 10 or 60.
But washing it once or twice a year doesn't seem too bad. I just didn't want to soak the wrong areas.
Thank you
Oh, okay. I was concerned I wasn't to wash with the jets pointing upwards on the undercarriage around the engine; I was worried of damaging sensitive parts.
Thank you for the advice
Hi,
Pardon the newb question; I honestly know nothing about trucks so please bear with me.
Leaving for lunch today, I was preparing to back out of a parking spot. Whenever I pressed down on the brakes, it felt like the Gladiator was applying more force on the brakes. I could feel the calipers...
I actually do! That seems like a genius product.
Do I just run it on the undercarriage, hitting all the areas I can? Oh, important question - are there any parts I'm not suppose to use a pressure washer, or this attachment, on? (As in sensitive parts that may be damaged by a pressure washer.)
I've had this truck for about 9 months now. It never occurred to me to wash the undercarriage. Given our climates, would it be safe to say once or so a year would suffice?
Hi fellow Gladiators,
I purchased my Gladiator and I'd really like to make sure it's kept in good shape for the long haul.
Let me premise by saying I know little about cars or trucks. But I'm always willing to learn.
Reading this evening, I read that trucks & cars should have their...
I took delivery of this 2021 in Dec of 2020. There were a few default themes available; I went with this one because it matched the dashboard.
I'm heading to sleep, but I can take a pic of all the themes available on this update tomorrow.
But tbh, idk how to even tell what version software...
In hindsight, I should’ve done that. I was sitting in the cabin, 92° outside, at least 95° inside.
I hit the Start button twice to get back into ACC, and it just kept going.
Glad to say it finished:
Hi,
I just got home and my 2021 Gladiator mentioned there was an update ready.
The engine is off; I powered down.
But I’m now in “Run.”
Can I power down the truck? Or do I need to stay in “Run?”
