  1. 2 weeks in....'23 Gladiator manual transmission- what should I expect?

    I remember the first tank being awful mileage the 2nd tank was only slightly better. After1k miles my mileage was significantly better but varies a lot based on fuel and conditions. Winter fuel sucks. Bucking the wind sucks. I've hit some upper 20s driving 58 mph for 200+ miles. My usual around...
  2. Is LSD worth it?

    Yeah quick type didn't want to include details. Stuck, poor word, inconvenienced may be better? Impacted better yet? Going around a left hand turn and being heavy on the throttle with open or an unlocked rear you'll start to spin the inside tire. LSD is providing always providing benefit. Heck...
  3. Jeep Theft in Broad Daylight

    That's awesome that people still want to learn and drive manual. A few hours north of you in a city, i have to drive my vehicles in to service bays often because the techs can't drive manual.
  4. Is LSD worth it?

    My advice is where are you most likely to get stuck? Is it driving around every day or in the thick of a trail? For my use LSD is exactly what i need because it's always working but i don't wheel or rock crawl. I respectfully disagree, living in snow and ice i get more benefit from the LSD in...
  5. Jeep in Contrast to Other “Car Culture”

    The secret to being a happy WRX owner, 12 year happy owner here, is never going on a single WRX forum and jut enjoy the car, preferably in stock form. Funny part is with the little bit of weight reduction i did my WRX has more payload than my jeep.... let that sink in. I don't offroad like most...
  6. O2 Sensor Harness Damaged Bank 1 Sensor 1

    Just reporting back. Code cleared and so far hasn't come back. I don't have a mode 6 reader just the tazer. I haven't driven any distance yet but will this afternoon. Before after clearing the code it'd come back right away. I saw threads about the Bosch ones being complete pants, i did find...
  7. O2 Sensor Harness Damaged Bank 1 Sensor 1

    I should have included in my original post that where the wire break is, access is limited. I could probably with enough time and effort fix the wire in place but it's likely that removing the sensor is going to be faster and easier. Typed this and forgot to hit send. I removed the passenger...
  8. O2 Sensor Harness Damaged Bank 1 Sensor 1

    My check engine light turned on last Friday. Conveniently the Tazer allows you to read codes so i pulled over and read the code. It was a P0032 "HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 1)". I got out checked where i thought the sensor might be and sure enough the harness rubbed on the...
  9. The Future for the JT platform.

    Do the sales numbers really matter? How many parts are shared with the JL? How much is the markup for basically buying a lot of the same parts? Also the union document mentioned looks like the JT is getting PHEV in 2025. The union document indicates it's going to be the J70?
  10. Not impressed with Gladiator performance in snow

    I'd avoid the Firestone Winterforce tires. I had those on a ford ranger both studded and plain and the traction was better than an AT but not angels playing trumpets like the other winter tires I've tried.
  11. Not impressed with Gladiator performance in snow

    To the OP my first thought is tires. If you have poor snow performance the best AWD system can only do so much if the tire is poor. This surprises me as the Falkens typically get good reviews for snow maybe they are too wide. I've never run them and only run dedicated snows. I've ran quite a...
  12. Pics & examination of 70,000 mile factory clutch

    I really wish i could just supply the parts and have someone else do the labor for the recall. I know that's not how it works but a guy can dream right? I could do the swap myself I just dont' want to put the time in. Jeep should just buy clutches from center force or someone and just get the...
  13. MPG Steadily dropping….

    I think they switched over to winter blend. I was getting 20-21 on my gas but after my last fill up driving the same roads to work and back I'm getting 18.5. Last year this time we were what 40 degrees cooler and a week away from our first snow? 91 degrees on October 1st is crazy and way too warm.
  14. Cannot shift into 4H or 4L on my new 2023 gladiator .

    I'll add in that i read about how stiff the system can be from the factory, with 15 miles on mine it was STIFF 30lbs doesn't seem like nearly enough. Also once you hit 4low be prepared for just as much effort to get back out. The advice in the manual to try and skip neutral is also good. If you...
  15. Gladiator vs 1500 MPG

    Assuming the train is traveling the average speed of a freight train and has the same weight as an average freight train of 3,000 tons it takes 0.48 min to expend a gallon of fuel. A paper route probably takes 2 hours so .96 minutes to expend the same amount of fuel as the person on the paper...
  16. Gladiator vs 1500 MPG

    Areodynamics have an impact at all speeds, period. Drag and friction exist at all speeds period. Drive at 25 MPH and try and hold a 24"x24" piece of cardboard flat facing forward, then come back and say aerodynamics don't exist at city speeds. Just as a side note i was running my tires a bit...
  17. Highest mpg 3.6

    I average 21in the summer and my worst in the winter was 17. Recently i had about 120 miles on 55mph back roads with minimal stopping. Part that confused me was the MPG screen said 26.8 but the trip odo that was resent at the gas pump said 23.0. Both the MPG screen and trip get reset at the...
  18. Spotted in Nashville

    So with that grill, does the cooling system even work? LineX claims 40-70 lbs assuming the small bed lets us 40 lbs for the bed and probably 4x that for the rest of the vehicle? so 160-200 lbs. That'd reduce my payload by about 20%
  19. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    I'm iffy on the strength of the half way up setting. The little plastic clips just don't seem as strong as the metal latches. That could be flawed logic though. I do the angling with the tailgate up some times. My hope is that it looks goofy and attracts someone's attention in addition to the...
  20. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    Picked up a board or 30. The extra ~700lbs in the bed made the already soft overland suspension float over the road, it was kinda nice. Any one else haul long items tailgate up? I've always loaded this way, saves me from worring about skewering those people that tailgate loaded vehicles. The...
