Gladiator is home now. It seems to be fine other than the skid plates are a sticky mess. The oil filter o-ring was either damaged during installation or failed. Last oil change was Easter weekend with zero indications of leak.
I finally heard from the dealership about the gladiator. O-ring failed on filter. Mechanic doesn’t think anything was damaged but he was going to do an oil change and start it up.
I am talking about the oil filter which feels like is cracked. I use a 1/4” torque wrench to tighten to factory specifications. That torque wrench is only used for the oil filter as it’s such a pita to adjust.
I have no idea if it leaked out while at work or when I remote started it. It wasn’t running when I walked up. You could get a reading on the dipstick but obviously low.
I walked to the gladiator after work Monday to this. I did my usual remote start with the app. It appears to be from the oil filter area. Jeep is still at dealership without being looked at. I have a little over 20k on the odometer. The only problem I e had has been a recurring steering box...
Has anyone installed one of these? I have the Hammer stubby up front and like it. I no longer have anything I tow but hesitant about removing the receiver hitch.

I’m having the mystery “squeak” from my suspension also. I noticed it after the installation of the Mopar lift although my family says it would happen since vehicle purchase. No luck in finding source(s). It sounds like a bad bushing.
While adding LCA skid plates I noticed oil/liquid on my sector shaft nut. Its covered about an 1” or so above. No visible leaks from anything above or in engine. 2021 Gladiator S eco diesel.
PIA is an understatement. The left rear and right front had a contest who be the most difficult. The left front and right rear took 15 minutes for both.
I had previously installed the Rock Hard FAD and was adding their LCA skids. The FAD & LCA will not work together. I have tried installing the LCA then the FAD skid and the opposite order. Same problem either way.
