I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but lately I have observed my oil pressure switching to high pressure mode for long periods of time after cold start. I noticed this after letting the truck sit for about a week because I was driving my other vehicle to work. Temps have been below 30...

Another thing that I noticed is that I don't feel the bump when slowly accelerating up hills, in that situation there is a load on the transmission so the torque converter isn't going to lock, it only does it on flat roads with very little load on the drive train, again which leads me to believe...

I have felt this exact thing in my 2024 mojave when I am in traffic going extremely slow, after it shifts into 3rd you feel a little bump forward as if you let off a clutch in a manual. Torque converters have a lock up feature that allows the engine speed to lock up with the input shaft of a...

Well I have decided to just let the gladiator go, traded it for a willy's edition wrangler. I could deal with the death wobble if that was the only issue but the truck had too many problems to make me feel good about it. I still like gladiators and I know most of them are good but I just got a...

Kind of wondering if the firm suspension is making it more prone to death wobble, my truck has the tow package with stiff springs and it feels like a hard tail going down the road. Maybe the rubicons don't suffer as badly because they have more plush fox shocks to absorb bumps?

It's at the dealer now, they are still looking at it.

I mean you all can call me crazy if you want but my patience has worn out with this truck. I know there are good jeeps out there that people enjoy but mine has had too many problems. I even baby my truck, I do everything by the book, and it's still bone stock. Why is mine falling apart when...

I could deal with death wobble if that was the only issue my truck had but mine has had constant problems since I bought it. Damn thing is cursed. I still like jeep but who ever at stellantis assembled mine just did a horrendous job. I shouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars for a vehicle...

I wouldn't buy the Tacoma, I work for Toyota and the new 3.5L is junk. The 4 runner is the only reliable Toyota you can get because it still uses the 4.0L v6

It's more than just a death wobble, it had leaking exhaust pipe due to a bent flange from the factory, leaking left rear shock, knocking noise when braking, and the rear axle had to be replaced due to a bad limited slip diff binding. It only has 4,827 miles and has been back and forth to the...

I'm done with this truck, I'm going to force a buy back or sell it. Hopefully Toyota gets some 4runners in soon. I'm done with this lemon.

You would think there would be a TSB for this, seems like a common enough issue. If this was the only problem then i would have more patience but i have had numerous issues with mine, I'm starting to think it's cursed. Probably should just get rid of it.

It has done it before at 55mph, and yes 70 mph is the speed limit on I-485. If it only did it once in a while then I wouldn't mind but it did the death wobble 3 times within 5 miles. Not to mention all the other problems the truck has had in less than a year I have owned it. Honestly starting to...

Was driving my 2021 gladiator down the highway today doing the speed limit of 70 mph and got death wobble 3 times after hitting bumps on the highway, scared the crap out of my girlfriend. I already tightened the track bar and ball joints from a previous issue with noise while stopping. Going to...

Was driving down the highway today and got death wobble 3 times, great more problems.

I usually baby mine till it gets up to temp as well but if other jeeps do the same thing then it must be normal. I also notice this noise on some Toyota trucks as well. I'm guessing either the fuel is rich or the cam phasers are timing for cold weather then when it goes to close loop the engine...

Ok, thanks for your replies, good to know other gladiator owners hear the same thing. I wasn't too worried about it as I heard other brands of trucks make a similar sound but can't be too careful right.

I thought it was normal too but wanted other people's input, it has been getting down to 19 degrees F lately, and yes that is what I am talking about, the engine seems louder when under load at low RPMs when cold, usually in first and second gear it sounds faintly like a diesel clatter when...

Most of these are saying the engine is making noise when hot. Has anyone noticed a diesel like rattle when its freezing cold and the engine is accelerating at low RPM? Sounds like the engine is lugging. Goes away when engine warms up.

I think this may be normal but not 100% sure, I have a 2021 gladiator with 3.6L V6 pentastar with 8 speed auto transmission and 4,800 miles. I notice when it is freezing cold outside and I first start driving I am getting a somewhat faint diesel like clatter or rattle when at low RPM only when...
