Just hit 150000km :) zero mechanical issues so far.

Things I did before I went away: Change all the oils (front/rear diffs, transfer case, engine oil with filter). Sprayed the exposed metal on the underside with a light oil. Took road liability insurance off the vehicle but kept comprehensive Filled the DEF tank to full Filled the diesel tank to...

Not in miles, but a long distance all the same. 21 JTRD. Since the warranty is out the window now, it’s received a 2” Mopar lift kit, will be getting black rhino Abram wheels and 37” KO2s installed later this week. Has a banks derringer/pedal monster combo, AFE momentum cold air intake, and...

Finally, I hope to say that the saga is over. After replacing the axle again, I immediately started having the axle locker issue. Occasionally it would flash the locker button on start up and eventually it would trip and set a code in the computer but no MIL or DTC visible from my scan tools...

Hopefully last update. Dealer is replacing the entire axle assembly again under warranty. I am not familiar with these axles, however what they are telling me is that when the axle assembly ships, it comes with everything installed, including the yoke that goes onto the pinion gear. If what...

Thanks for replying, unfortunately due to incorrect installation procedures from the shop, it was failed bearings and bearing race/bearing coating floating around in the diff oil. Not normal wear. The truck is going back in to have the bearings replaced again because of a failed installation...

At 66500kms on stock gears and tires, 27mpg combined and with the derringer on level 6 I am getting 26mpg. Though I try to hypermile as much as possible with an avg highway speed of 88kph. Range is usually 725kms between fill ups of about 65L

Finally back after a while for work. Hopefully last update on this issue. Oil contamination was supposedly due to synthetic grease that was used during reassembly. So the dealership inspected, cleaned and refilled the diff. Road tested for the noise but failed to identify my concern...

Had same problem on my first oil change. Wait 20-30 mins after running to let the pressure bleed down. Open the drain plug, open the oil cap, with towels around the housing, slightly open the oil filter housing. Let it bleed off any residual pressure and drain oil down. This should avoid...

I’ve also got the paint bubbling and rusting around tow hooks in the rear and it is getting replaced under the bumper to bumper. its funny about how I was recommended to get the truck Krownd afterwards, and it is already Krownd every spring (2 applications so far). The shop that applies it...

Only to the town compost and leaf waste site which is a 50kph road max for about 500m maybe once a year in the spring. Other than that no other gravel/dirt roads on my commute to work or driving around.

2021 Rubicon Anyone else have this level of rust occurring on their lower oil pan? I do live in the upper reaches of the rust belt (south central Ontario) where they use salt spray but I have not seen that level of rust happen on an oil pan before. (Ignore the drain plug, just finished up an...

Just finished changing the front diff oil, oil w/ filter, fuel folter. and xfer case. Front axle at 60000km (left), rear axle at 4000km (right). Looks like some kind of contamination occurred on the rear diff, but I can’t see from where since there’s no leaks and the breather tube is still...

Back to the dealer, went for a drive with the service manager and was able to reproduce the sound but he is afraid to down the truck again because it’s not as noticeable as when the bearing was failed. At least it’s documented and was asked to keep driving it and monitor for if it gets worse...

Update for my post: Dealer put the truck up on the lift and found the sound to be a bad pinion bearing. Once they had the diff out they also found the carrier bearings had started to fail. They couldn’t tell me the cause of the failure. Bearings were all replaced and new ones reinstalled...

As the title says… 2021 rubicon diesel. 48500km at time of original problem, currently at 55500km still under warranty. bit of back story… Driving down the highway in 2wd when the service 4wd light started flickering on and off. Had the rear axle locker system fail on the rear axle saying...

Just hit 50000km in my 21 gladiator diesel! Just bought the derringer, have yet to install it. And axle locker problem was fixed with a full axle assembly under power train warranty.

48500km no issues with fuel pump, just axle locker issues and the DEF recall.

I’m new to diesel engines and wanted to know if anyone has experience with storing an eco diesel for more than 6 months. I am used to storing my motorcycle and other cars over the winter. Ie: battery maintainer, wash before storage, change oil, top up all fluids, clean out interior, put some...

I take the oil filler cap off first thing and then go about my routine of cleaning and wiping things down before I pull the oil pan plug. I don’t crack the oil filter housing until last. First oil change the oil level in the filter housing was almost level with the top lip and managed to get...
