  1. WARNING! Gen 3. Oil change not possible.

    Guys, you cannot, I repeat cannot use the older filters and cap on the new EcoDiesel gen 3. They are totally different. FCA has put out service bulletins to there dealers on this. The filter is a different diameter and height and the bypass valve is totally different. If you use the older filter...
  2. Gladiator Diesel Bottoming Out Poll - Let’s get some numbers here.

    I got almost 5 inches in the front but I have not put in my Warn winch plate and Sherpa 17 k winch on yet, and it has not settled the spring either. I think I will end up with a true 4 inches of lift in the front. The truck sits a tiny bit front high so with the winch plate and winch I should be...
  3. Gladiator Diesel Bottoming Out Poll - Let’s get some numbers here.

    For those on this forum, I had posted on another about the parts I used. I went with the Clayton Overland plus system. 4 1/2 inch front and 3 1/2 inch rear with the full control arm kit and Rock Jock Currie's massive tie rod and drag link. This kit is super stout. I have been pleased since the...
  4. Gladiator Diesel Bottoming Out Poll - Let’s get some numbers here.

    I have had my JTRD since early 2021 and it has bottomed to beyond the bump stops since day one. Multiple dealers later and all saying the parts are "All Good" I gave up. I put in a Clayton and Currie full suspension system and now the Rubi Diesel behaves the way FCA should have sent it to me. I...
  5. Diesel Oil filter

    Hi guys JTRD owner here, the Mopar filter until recently was the only filter available for our JT diesels period. Now Eco Guard S11880 filter is a direct knock off of the MOPAR filter. As a mater of fact both are Chinese made and the one I bought online came in the same box as the Mopar filter...
  6. Service DEF system see dealer warning message

    I suspect some of our trucks from the early batches have bad DEF systems. There has been a lot of parts changed out. Mine is an early 2021 build. I think it has some bad parts or a completely bad DEF tank, heater injector etc. It goes in tomorrow morning so we shall see what we shall see!
  7. RK 4.5 inch Diesel X Factor No Limits...Pros/Cons, Other 4.5 Options for diesel?

    Exactly, the truck sits high and level. I have the Warn winch plate and Sherpa winch so I wanted to account for there weight as well. Just have not put them on yet.
  8. Service DEF system see dealer warning message

    Just another point on this, my truck never had DEF codes and still does not. Figure that one out?
  9. Service DEF system see dealer warning message

    The recall is Y-81. My dealer said they are not sure if parts are involved or reflash only. They reflashed my truck and it did nothing to bring my DEF system on. My tank has not moved from use for a month. I called another dealer, now the 3rd. and they contacted FCA Jeep Tech and are going to...
  10. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I have not had a chance to do any sensor testing. I have been trying to get the vacuum right for the darn computer by playing with the inner filter media. On some tech site I believe I read that the sensor measures oil mist as well so were all going to have "good luck with that" senario there.
  11. Dash board is feeling festive and lit up like a Christmas tree

    On the electrical gremlins issue, as I indicated above fuses first then the dealer has a service bulletin about the harness throughout the truck being very tight, read that as almost "short" and are pulling at the connectors. Mine was finally traced to a connection above an exhaust flange that...
  12. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I used existing bolts on the top of the rad that were not used by Jeep for some reason, very convienient for us. The Pro-Vent is mounted on a piece of 1 inch by 1 inch "L" angle. The piece of angle over the rad has an ARCH cut/ground into the bottom to match the shape of the top of the rad...
  13. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    The tubing is 1 inch I/D automotive hose. The elbows and straights are 1 inch PVC fittings and the clamps are clamps. The drain out the bottom of the Pro-Vent is 1/2 inch reinforced clear hose with a valve 10 inches from the bottom and then another dangling below it. I just crawl under and drain...
  14. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Hi guys, today is cold and clear so I took a few photos of the Pro-Vent Catch Can installation. And on the same topic about MIL's. Yes the truck runs most of the time with a MIL on. I run a Blue Driver through my phone and iPad and monitor my trucks vitals. With the Pro-Vent system the engine...
  15. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Hi Guys, I just noticed 1979Wagoneers post on his intake boot mod. I have done the same thing but for a different reason, same result though. My airbox was filling up with ice and snow during snow storms. Happened driving and also if the truck was parked into the wind. You notice a significant...
  16. RK 4.5 inch Diesel X Factor No Limits...Pros/Cons, Other 4.5 Options for diesel?

    Hello Adam, I have a 21 JTRD and I went with the Clayton 4.5 inch front and 3.5 inch rear overland set up. Complete control arms, which are bloody massive if I might add. I got the Rock Jock Currie tie rod and drag link as well. It makes the diesel sit just perfect. The kit comes with the...
  17. EcoDiesel: Intake Silencer Removal?

    Hey there Kayle, discovering this about the JTRD intake was a shocker. But now we know. I have already found an AFE solution intake. Look them up, its a direct bolt on intake tube and filter assembly. Looks good.
  18. EcoDiesel: Intake Silencer Removal?

    Hi guys, JTRD owner. I did not know where to post this but up here in Canada, Nova Scotia to be precise we have had our fair share of snow storms this winter. With that said I had some performance issues with my truck and pulled it into the garage. The intake base was jammed with ice and snow...
  19. Question first oil change.

    Hello folks, retired diesel guy here, you want you truck to last for the manufacturers lifespan, use their maintenance cycles. You want to have your truck for a while like I do with my JTRD change filters as often as you can. I run my truck on a 5000km oil change cycle and my first change for...
  20. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Hi guys, have been under the weather with COVID for a week and have not been on the forum. First thing I want to address is someones comment on my temps being 220-240 in the middle of my gauge. I have a Canadian truck. My gauge is right at 100degrees celcuis in the middle. That's 212 degrees in...
