It had at least a half a tank of gas so I doubt that was a factor.

:ninja: i found an excuse to drive to the store today in the snow. For fun, I pulled the parking brake and turned the wheel to get her to fishtail a bit. Going maybe 10 mph. Wide open area no other cars pedestrians etc. 2wd high. She fishtailed a little. The “d” started flashing and told me to...

I have this size on my stock maxtow. No issues.

which will in turn be superseded by the pentastar tick.

Is there a published torque spec for those hard top bolts? This seems like it would be easy to do when re-installing the top after removal.

I had my right side intake camshaft (and rockers) replaced under warranty by the dealer in July. The jeep was in the shop for a week. I guess I got lucky.

I have/ had the rear window leak on an october 2021 build. I fixed it with the vacuum hose repair which seems to be holding up fine.

“I love it, but it is a POS, don’t buy one” is what I tell people. I can put up with all of the “ it’s a Jeep thing” idiosyncrasies but an unreliable powertrain is completely unacceptable. And these things are not reliable vehicles.

I am starting to think the right answer to this is an 8 year 100k extended warranty on the engine and transmission.

I can commiserate. My 21 had the passenger intake cam and all the associated rockers replaced at 29k. Due to a misfire issue. Now at 33. I still have 2 years and 27k on the powertrain warranty so I’m just gonna drive mine and take it when the check engine light comes in again. I have heard...

Get rid of everything in the lineup that doesn’t have a solid front and rear axle, bring back the xj if you want to keep the Cherokee. Make em all as reliable as a hilux or Land Cruiser. But that’s not what’s going to happen. Instead they will continue marching down the road of making Kia’s...

I had this issue too. I did the vacuum hose fix. Seems to be working. There should be an additional pm in the owners manual to seal the rear window.

I had an outback a few vehicles ago. That thing was a beast and I beat the crap out of it. I drove it off road all over Texas…no issues….it got me out of several sticky situations with mud, snow, and sleet. I even towed with it. I never took it rock crawling or anything, but I thought the AWD...

9 weeks in the shop? For a sensor? That’s insane.

Randomly…at some mileage between 0 and 75,000, The battery housing will develop a crack, and you will be able to hear an audible ‘tick’ at it expands and contracts. Of course, by this time, all the other manufacturers will have perfected the EV battery, but not Jeep. Theirs will tick. And cost...

I did 3k initial and 15% to 20% on the oil life calculator (typically 7k ish)…all done by the dealer with the spec oil… and I got the tick. ‘21 3.6. passenger side intake camshaft and rockers replaced at 30k under warranty. not sure if more frequent changes or different oil would have...

Update number 3. picked up the gladiator today. They replaced the passenger side intake rockers and camshaft. This is a 2021 (ordered in August, built in October) with just under 30k on the odometer. I don’t really know what to do with it now. I guess I still have about half of the powertrain...

I agree. I have this size on my max tow and it’s great. No issues with fit, looks good, still get over 20 mpg on the highway.

True…I haven’t made up my mind yet. I just wonder what the long term effect of the valve train eating itself is on engine longevity. I typically put 150k miles on a vehicle over 10 years before looking for a new one.

I’m kind of in your shoes now. My ‘21 max tow is at 30k and at the dealer for a single cylinder misfire…I am suspecting it’s the rocker but I dont know that yet…if they have to do open heart surgery on it the next dealer it may see is a Toyota dealer…I love the thing but what I need most out of...
