  1. Banks iDash Stealth Pod - Upper Mount vs Lower Mount

    I got the upper. Works fine. Up and out of the way is why I chose it. Up and out of the way means you’re looking up and out of the way though. A place you’re not normally looking. Know I think the lower would be better. In the same line as all the dash gauges.
  2. 3.0 limping...no obvious reason. Random CEL

    What you described sounds very similar to my experience with my ā€˜21 JTRD. Long drive under load, Christmas Dash lights, derate, cool down, all good except a CEL. The first thing I would do. Get some DEI heat wrap for the wire harness that goes down front passenger cowl towards the DPF. This was...
  3. Replacing the elect steering pump on a Diesel

    Agree. Before getting the latest offering from PSC, I was close to going custom. Installing the belt driven pump in the same place as the electric pump. Coming up with an idler and custom pulley. So happy I didn’t have to go down that road. But I still think it’s doable.
  4. Replacing the elect steering pump on a Diesel

    Don’t think a belt driven pump is going to happen. Especially since 3.0 is not offered anymore. I did end up with PSC remapped electric pump (1800psi full time) not variable psi as factory. Along with PSC gear box plus ram. Works surprisingly good. Don’t think I need belt driven pump. I had...
  5. T & S Oil Catch can

    Have one. Agree with all. Pain to drain. Otherwise never an issue.
  6. Battery Cut-off switch for both Main and Aux Battery?

    Maybe I did not explain it very well. However you already know all about electricity, connectors, wiring and more….lol. You did ask for an experienced Electrician….That is me. The point I was trying to make is extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme temperature change causes things too expand and...
  7. Battery Cut-off switch for both Main and Aux Battery?

    An Electrical Short. I haven’t read up on the PS fire issue. A connector could have an internal short. Oil seeping in could also cause a short. Heat is usually the cause. Heat may create the opening for a short. Once cooled down the actual short is created.
  8. How much weight have you towed with your Diesel Gladiator?

    Short answer. Tapped into the factory ports, bottom of oil filter housing. From there to an Amsoil bypass filter/housing to Derale cooler w/fan. Returned to oil pan. Search my post in Diesel cooling for Detailed info. Ask questions on that thread.
  9. How much weight have you towed with your Diesel Gladiator?

    Pull a 4k off-road trailer. Not much wind drag. The JT weighs about 7k. Sitting on 42’s with 5.13 gears. Only about a 1,000 miles, some of that with 40’s. Never an issue while pulling the trailer. In the beginning, many issues with derating. Always after 6 hours of continuous driving. On a...
  10. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    I was thinking the same thing back in ā€˜22. I talked to AFE back then. Same response working on it, no ETA. I have an extra 3 quarts in my cooling loop. Bypass filter, Derale oil cooler with about 20’ of hose. If I don’t turn on the cooling fan, after long periods of driving, 2/3 hours the...
  11. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Thanks. However, Not looking for a pump.
  12. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Well, that was a trip down memory lane. Just don’t think an engine oil pump rated for continuous load above 200f exists. I’m not currently looking for one. What I did up doing is working (tapping into factory oil filter housing). I just wanted to share info. I recently did camping trip pulling...
  13. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Just talked to them. Nope, not recommended for engine oil cooling. Stated that there pump is for circulation only. Recommend Susa. Susa website for oil Pump says ā€œrecommended for oil circulationā€. It did say tested to 250f. So maybe.
  14. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Snap shots of my conversation with Tilton, using their pump as an engine oil cooler. This was back in November 2022. Hello, I’m looking at your oil pump for an engine oil cooler. I have a Gen 3 Mopar 3.0 EcoDiesel. I would tap the lines to and from directly to the oil pan. The oil temp is...
  15. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Great. Im not an expert, therefore I rely on what the Manufacturer says along with their Spec Sheets. I replied on this thread about someone using a 12 volt pump to cool oil temperatures in a 3.0 Eco Diesel. I Researched this in depth, 3 plus years ago. Talking to several manufacturers. Via...
  16. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Yes. Thinking Tilton was one of the ā€œabsolutely notā€. The specs I’ve seen on them 160f continuous with 265f intermittent. The pump also says ā€œdiff coolerā€ right on it.
  17. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Really like this! This is what I originally wanted to do 3 plus years ago when I first started searching ways to keep the ED from derating. My problem was heat soak. Long trips on National Forest type roads, 6 hours plus. Anyway, I just wanted to share what I was told by the pump manufacturers...
  18. Another Death wobble conflicting info Clayton lift

    I’d do your own tire balance by purchasing Magnum Balance tire beads. Bump steer was mentioned. If the trac bar and drag link are still factory the lift shouldn’t cause this. 2.5ā€ lift only requires slight drag link length change to recenter steering wheel. With a helper, all weight on vehicle...
