  1. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    Seems qc on all manufacturers is rather lacking these days. I’m certainly not a brand loyalist.. my zr2 diesel was a blast my gladiator was also a fun ride my 4xe is fun as well.. my last 3 ford rangers were reliable as fuck and the 4.0 in my last ranger had reasonable power for the day. This...
  2. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    For what’s it’s worth and I’m aware that this is not the 4xe site. But my 4xe currently has a cel 22k on the clock. Took it in and they believe it to be a heater for the battery bank. Cuz ya know ya can’t charge or discharge a lithium battery when it’s cold or crystals form in the cells. my f150...
  3. IT FINALLY HAPPENED

    I’m surprised they didn’t look at the harness, there is a tsb for it…
  4. Ecodiesel power derating as temps rise?

    Glad to see someone taking this route, had I kept mine I would have had this done by now lol. I think your on the right tract. Also for what it’s worth you could put the pump on the return side of the cooler and pull the oil through the cooler. It would then be cool prior to hitting the pump...
  5. Decked Bed System -- will surveyor's wood or composite tripods fit?

    I’m an electrician, I had one in my gladiator and now in my f150. I would imagine they fit just fine. I don’t personally use them but I am familiar with the setup. I would say to you to simply check the measurements and see ?
  6. Clutch pedal not returning completely *FIXED*

    Been a few vehicles sense my last manual, but I spent many years as a maintenance technician in a large plant. If it was me I’d look for issues with the pedal assembly first.. catching on something binding at the pivot point. Run it all the way down and hold it. If it’s leaking past the seals in...
  7. Clutch pedal not returning completely *FIXED*

    Sounds like a slave and or master cylinder issue. Could also be binding at the pivot point??
  8. Ever Changing market value.

    I got 43k for my 21 jtwd with 36000 on it last month, spent 60k on a f150
  9. Damn Diesel

    Perhaps not the popular take but it is what it is and I sees it how I sees it. I feel we have enough problems within our own borders to deal with. For what it’s worth I don’t care if Ukraine wipes Russia off the map either? Best money spent ?? How about spending it here in the USA funding an...
  10. Damn Diesel

    Bottom line is I don’t give a fiddlers fuck If Russia wipes Ukraine off the map not my/our fight, more over no one asked me if I was willing to send billions of dollars to one side or the other. No one asked me if I was willing to pay insane prices at the pump to ban oil imports from Russia. The...
  11. Bent Frame

    Well… it is a desert truck by design. Under designed but still it’s supposed to be a desert runner. That’s like saying my zr2 was not a desert truck. Upgraded frame upgraded shocks.. what’s the raptor got? Upgraded frame and shocks.
  12. Ordered another gladiator (8k MSRP increase)

    Just traded mine in and got 5k over kbb. Bought it for 47 out the door and put 37k miles on it. Traded it in for 43ish if I recall correctly.
  13. Not a great first month with my new Jeep...

    The hood is a badge of honor, the fender they will replace with a black one and the new Inner liner will fall out and cause your right front tire to freeze up and pull you into a ditch! Jk I’d see if I could get an extended warranty out of the deal. Other then that let them fix it and move on...
  14. Egr,DPF delete while in mexico.

    It’s like they don’t understand how you run your shit?? Some people have these trucks as toys and nothing more !! Also I find the statements about Mexicans not having the skills to do this very entertaining. How many manufactures have moved production to Mexico?? The big 3 ALL have plants...
  15. Bypass filter and cooler install.

    I got well over kbb. And with all the issues I was having with the gladiator it made practical sense to make the trade. I really loved the gladiator it was fun to drive great in bad weather and fit my needs for the most part. But as you said sometimes the cons outweigh the pros… if I added up...
  16. Bypass filter and cooler install.

    Obviously I gave up on this truck and traded it in, however I got an email yesterday that insane diesel is now selling the kit I built and installed in this thread.. kinda… they are using the bungs on the cooler rather then the filter bypass. I would not recommend this for two reasons 1: my...
  17. Turbo failure?

    There is a great sounding idea… extra back pressure on a turbo charged engine… ohhh shit she’s breathing too well!! Choker off !!! Ahhhh yess deoxygenated intake gases perfect yes that’s what we want to burn.
  18. Turbo failure?

    The valve is there to create pressure to force the post dpf gasses to run back through the intake “post dpf egr”
