  1. My thoughts on the auxiliary battery

    When I replaced my batteries, I charged each new one individually on my trickle charger until it registered a full charge/float charge, then installed them. You should unplug the IBS for a few minutes to reset it as well. As far as my current situation, the NOCO battery has been doing well...
  2. Opions on this

    The wheels look great, but if the center section was painted like an argent gray to simulate a small center cap, I think it would break up the bright white in a good way.
  3. We want to hear from you! - JeepCares

    My asks would be: 1. Steel wheel option - a lot of people buy 4 spare wheels to put on their Jeep because they are a solid rim that is much more immune to trail damage than an alloy wheel. No reason to not make that a factory option. 2. Single battery ESS or dual battery setup with matched...
  4. My thoughts on the auxiliary battery

    Touching the terminals together simply grounds out any possible sources of voltage that may be back feeding from the cabin, such as a USB charger in the cigarette lighter port or an aftermarket car stereo amplifier. IBS sensors only have surface mount capacitors that will drain out after a...
  5. My thoughts on the auxiliary battery

    I pulled main battery out of truck, put it on trickle charger while I was replacing AUX battery with the new one. I touched positive and negative clamps together for a few seconds to reset the IBS while both batteries were disconnected from truck. I then installed the AUX battery, and once the...
  6. My thoughts on the auxiliary battery

    I left the main battery on the trickle charger with the AUX disconnected until it switched over to float charge.
  7. My thoughts on the auxiliary battery

    In my case, the AUX battery has failed on me both times coming into cold weather. I replaced both batteries as a precaution the first time but that main battery lives on 'til this day in my Grand Cherokee with no issues. I replaced the AUX battery with an ES-TX14-BS motorcycle battery the...
  8. Manual transmission swap

    Not going to lie, now I wonder what the reverse would be like. An Ecodiesel Charger would be a fun one to troll car shows with. Would probably get some killer mileage to boot.
  9. Manual transmission swap

    The real trick is seeing how common the bolt pattern is across VM Motori engines. If the 4 cylinder pattern is the same as the 6 cylinder pattern, the NV3550 may be a bolt-on swap. If it isn't, then you may have to fabricate an adapter to the transmission of your choice. Once that is figured...
  10. How much more comfortable is the Overland?

    Overland rode slightly better than Mojave for me, but my Overland is a diesel so the weight may make a difference. My only complaint about the Overland suspension is that the front sway bar is a little too stiff, and will rock under certain circumstances.
  11. The 2024 Gladiator Reveals on 9/13/23!

    Don't worry, Toyota will come for your culo with their sky high APRs. I found that out the hard way when I bought the wife a new Prius.
  12. The 2024 Gladiator Reveals on 9/13/23!

    Now that's manuafactured scarcity at its finest.
  13. When it's battery replacement time what are you choosing?

    Diesel main batteries are bigger. Aux batteries are the same. You can upgrade your gasser to the diesel size battery by removing a piece in the bottom of the battery box.
  14. 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon FarOut: Exclusive Limited-edition Marks Final EcoDiesel Gladiator Production

    Those unicorn fully loaded Gladiators for $55k were out there, at least when I bought mine in 2021. The trick is the ones I found were Overlands, not Rubicons. I got my Overland for $53k out the door with all options but the Advanced Safety Group and that Bluetooth Speaker. True, you don't...
  15. More eco diesel limp mode excitement

    I would be pulling the batteries and have them load tested. That and check if the alternator is being commanded to charge. Making sure all the fuses in the underhood fuse box would not be a bad idea, as well.
  16. AC Appreciation

    Variable TXV's that respond to demand work a whole lot better than the fixed orifice systems that older cars had. Much easier to keep right above freezing without having to go through freeze thaw cycles like systems that solely regulate on pressure.
  17. 2022 Rubicon in need of a shorter bumper to fit in garage, advice appreciated!

    Dumb question, but can you just pull your countertop up, then shift all your lower cabinets to the right to give your bumper clearance?
  18. 2,000+ Mile road trip coming up in July - What are your favorite quality-of-life upgrades?

    A 12v cooler for food and drinks goes a long way towards everyone's happiness during a drive that long.
  19. If you had $1500 to spend on your Jeep today....

    Knockoff steel bumper and 15k winch.
