  1. Full Size Gladiator?

    I want a 7/8ths full-size Gladiator with a full width grill for better diesel cooling (like the OG Gladiator had). Honestly with the size of my family + dog it's pretty cramped for road trips and we'd be better off with a full-size but I love taking off the roof and doors in summer and a full...
  2. Low boost

    I can’t confirm it was the cause, but a few months later my low pressure EGR cooler failed when that was happening the ECU cut boost in a similar but more dramatic way. But it had thrown a CEL by that point. I suspect that episode was an early sign.
  3. Mojave SL tires vs LT tires

    Apparently I feel like arguing with 3 year old comments on the internet today :D So here's the thing: I'm a geologist and I can tell you it depends entirely on the type of gravel that is being used. I have driven countless gravel forest road miles in 2wd hatchbacks with low profile performance...
  4. 2028 Ram Dakota & Dakota SRT pickup confirmed for US / North America

    Yes I'm going to need one with a 5.7L V8, a manual transmission, usable rear seat length from the gladiator and/or extended cab option, rear LSD and the selec-trac transfer case. Maybe it can come from the factory with a pre-dented rear bumper and pinstripes down the side, call that option the...
  5. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    Follow up and hopefully final update that will help others. After talking with the dealership some more it was apparent there diesel tech was describing things just incorrectly enough to sow confusion, which Stellantis is doing everyone no favors by labeling multiple major emissions parts with...
  6. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    Update on this. I purchased a boroscope and checked out the main part of the air intake as best I could. A fair amount of carbon buildup in there but no obvious concerns or blockages. Reset the ECU and drove it hard, ran like a top so I think it was just a bit of loose carbon flushing through...
  7. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    It's not the dealer, it's Jeep. Service advisor said the corporate computer system tells them if coverage applies to a repair, and encouraged me to take it up with Jeep Cares, which I did. Outcome of that is here, with a larger thread about warrantable emissions items...
  8. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    Well crap. I cleaned this all up, removed and cleaned the Air Flow Control Valve for good measure, and put it all back together. When I fired it up, it died before catching. Second firing it ran real rough with a light scraping / rough tick noise at engine RPM and a solid air puff noise at...
  9. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    HP EGR tube carbon buildup was pretty severe. May have been a restriction in the tube, hard to say if it was present before I hit it with carb cleaner and stuff moved towards the exit. Deleting not a good option. Don’t have a boroscope but it’s time to for me to get one.
  10. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    Not able to replicate what the dealer diagnosed; there doesn't appear to be any issues in air flow control valve operation. Angle of camera is slightly misleading, valve is parallel to axis of tube at start and end of video. Any experienced feedback on valve motion in the video is appreciated.
  11. DPF code (engine light) at 55K

    I really appreciate these links. The current regulation you linked effective June 2024 is incredibly clear that everything related to emissions must be covered to 80,000 mi. The "at time of purchase" one that is valid for me as well I'm struggling to draw as clear of a message from. It talks...
  12. P0401 Code - EGR Air Flow Control Valve

    Greetings, Truck threw a P0401 code at 70k miles. Dealer diagnosed as follows: "Disconnected the air tube at the inlet port of the EGR Air Flow Control Valve and found it did not open completely with the Ignition on. Replacement EGR valve needed and retest." This is not covered under warranty...
  13. DPF code (engine light) at 55K

    Hey I found this thread searching for pretty much this same thing, as Jeep Cares tells me the 100k diesel powertrain warranty doesn't cover EGR issues and the emissions warranty only went to 5yr/50k. I looked deeper into the links, and i think Google AI is misleading you here. According to the...
  14. 4xe Gladiator Dead according to sources

    I'm going to make a simple economic argument for the 4XE for V8 lovers. 1. You love V8s 2. MFRs drop EVs/PHEVs to make V8s instead. 3. Everyone buys V8s 4. national average fuel economy goes down, driving demand for oil up. 5. Oil prices go up >2x, pump prices go up >2x (see where we are...
  15. Toyo Open Country RT Trail 37X12.50X17 on a EcoDiesel Review

    I just got these in 255/80/17, which is just a bit taller and quite a bit skinnier than the stock 285/70/17s on Rubicons and Mojaves. I chose these over then the popular Baja Boss ATs in 255/85 because I wasn't convinced a Sport with no real lift and disconnected sway bars wouldn't rub. My rig...
  16. Low boost

    I checked the Tazer for DTCs and there were none. Are these pending codes different than a normal DTC and if so do other scanners pick them up?
  17. Low boost

    That's about 10 psi too high on both of those. You running a hot tune or something? A little worrying that the ecodiesel brain trust is kind of collectively shrugging on this one. As dislikable as my old GM 6.2L turbo diesel was at least that thing would run on a single hot wire to the fuel...
  18. Low boost

    So yesterday I was driving a long distance on a slow highway with some traffic (50-60mph) and started noticing the truck was having trouble on cruise control...not accelerating in gear and resorting to downshifting. I used the Tazer's functions to bring up boost and I was only getting 1-3 psi...
  19. Show and Tell:Ecodiesel maximum towing capabilities

    The truck is stock in that photo. Despite the very heavy trailer and going over multiple mountain passes oil temps stayed in control in 75 degree weather. Hotter would have been a different story. There is an oil cooler thread in this sub-forum, take a look at that for the current best solution...
  20. Show and Tell:Ecodiesel maximum towing capabilities

    Some more info/context here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/wanting-to-hear-from-you-diesel-folks-out-there-should-i-trade-for-a-leftover-23-to-tow-better.80299/#post-1307452 The engine in stock form has the juice to pull well above what the book says just fine. What it lacks...
