The 3/4ā spacer on the front of the ecodiesel makes a pretty big impactā¦
long story short on the ecodiesel, upstroke is 1.25 inches less than the pentastar. This is due to the bump stop tubes being longer on the ecodiesel to prevent axle/oil pan interference.
without the spacer I would still...
Hi there, I have a 21 JTRD with 2ā Mopar lift, and 3/4ā spacer up front.
I bought some daystar 3/4ā spacers for the rear, but am curious if I should consider a carrier bearing drop kit with this as well.
the reason I want to add 3/4ā to the rear is I added an ARE topper and lost some of the...
For me.. $500 extra bucks goes in savings for the 3 month old lol.
If I had 5k to throw at it today... metal cloak game changer; front drive shaft, 6pack shocks, armor, 38" tires, gears.
I have a 21 ecodiesel. Recall issues with the fuel pump were a bit of a headache..
But that's behind us now.
If I was going to buy a desert running high speed truck, it wouldn't be a gladiator there are better options out there... But without a doubt they do ride nice, (mojave fox shocks are...
For me I have had bad experience with offroad machines and oil based filters. I have clogged up 2 MAF sensors with K&N filters. Both instances I followed the instructions when oiling.
I went with the dry, with an additional mesh cover over the paper filter.
My 21 ecodiesel rubicon tows my 3500lb trailer on 35ā tires with a 2.5ā lift just fine.
I will say there are cooling limitations with it towing at high altitude in warm temps.
In fact have well over 20k miles of road trips with my camper.
Iāve derates 2 times, but never had any issues.
Iād find a way to lighten the JT by about a 1000lbs, there are engineering methods to continue to keep as much strength as possible.. this would lead to longer lifespan of nearly every driveline part.
I would also consider a forced induction v6 with ample cooling as people with JTās want better...
One was able to keep it (I think Rusty).
I had the advisor bring it to me and I pulled control valve on top, some small flakes were present on mine.
But the advisor told me they needed it and I couldnāt keep it.
along with the pump a few lines get replacedā¦
make sure those lines are replaced.
I monitor Regens using a 10 dollar OBDII Bluetooth dongle and an app on my phone.
just make sure you get the oil hot fairly frequently to help burn off fuel, and moisture in the oilā¦. Or change the oil a bit more frequently (or do a lab analysis of the oil)
I drove a mojove for a 7 weeks while my JTRD was in the shop.
The Mojove was nice, it was more road āworthyā and was a better handling jeep.
Once I got back in my JTRD, I quickly realized the Diesel, and the Rubicon was much better for me.
Iād see if the insurance could offer a settlement to...
The bump stop tubes are also longer which limits up travel by about 1.25āā¦. Easier to bottom out.
on my jeep I did the 2ā Mopar lift, and purchased some metal cloak bump stops but I trimmed them to make them shorter and heat sealed them. I no longer bottom out if hitting speed bumps too hard.
The diesels are the best. You will love it.
1. oil change with pensoil euro, do it a little early 7k or so.
2. Fuel Filter every oil change (also drain the cap) (water separator)
3. You donāt have to use an additive, but I like LX4 or EDT
4. Use only Mopar Branded Oil Filters, Fuel, and Air...
So they do not on the new pump, but it will run fine.
just use the full tank before 30 days, and use some biocide occasionally, also Iād add LX4.
Change your oil and filter at no more than 5k miles.
Hi there. I have a 2021 JTRD with the Mopar 2ā installed.
On the front I also added metal cloak pads, and a 1/2ā spacer on each side.
Today I installed an ARE CX topper, and the truck now squats an extra 3/4ā in the rear.
I have a set of Daystar 3/4ā poly spacers that I can install in the...
Thanks Shadows, You are right, although I imagine commonly Horse Power and CFM needed are closely correlated due to air fuel ratio's of gasoline engines not being extremely wide, and overall engine efficiency, diesels are different as many diesels do not even have throttle bodies, and the Air...
Yeah, based on that image, Iām betting it could be totaled, as the impact appears to have likely bent the frame / control arm mounts.
glad you were okā¦. I might invest in a dash cam nowā¦.
