  1. Dishpan/Holcomb Creek Sept 24th-- who's in?! (Big Bear)

    Let me see if I can talk the wife into Big Bear (again)! Where were you thinking of meeting, and any issue if we brought the JLU and the JT?
  2. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    I won't tell you what I'm getting with 37s and 1500# teardrop behind it. I drive like an a**hole though, so.....
  3. CP4 weak point and why the CP3 is the only solution.

    There are two different models, the CP-4.1 and CP-4.2. The 4.2 has two pumping elements and, as a result, higher fuel flow rate to support the larger diesel engines. The 4.1 is a single element, so lower flow rates to support the smaller motors. The Cummins recall for the 2021/2022 model year...
  4. What Would You Do

    This, right here!
  5. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    So, I'm gonna ask the dumb question here. Can you snap a photo of the where this piece of foam is on the cowl?
  6. What are some of the best routes you have been on?

    The wife and I did the Trifecta (Poison Spider/Golden Spike/Gold Bar Rim) in Moab on Sunday, and it was freaking amazeballs! Make sure you do the loop on Poison Spider. It adds 10 miles, but the views are 100% worth it!
  7. CP4 Fuel Pump EcoDiesel Recall

    104 days in the shop for mine. Got it back a week ago. I had one of those stalls due to pump failure out on the trail. My service advisor did note that a recall was coming for the JL/JTs in first quarter 2023. Now, I didn't ask if that was FY or CY, but I am going to assume it's coming...
  8. What do u have coming in the mail?

    One piece rear drive shaft from Adams! I may or may not have beat the crap out of the stock one on John Bull up in Big Bear over the weekend.... Trail spare it is!!!
  9. Another Weekend and the EcoDiesel Gladiator is back in the shop...

    30 days is a S.W.A.G. by your service manager. Mine has been at the dealer since March 8. I pulled JeepCares in immediately to assist in doing what they could. Currently, the only outstanding part is the fuel rail. Call from service advisor on Friday noted that the fuel rail OEM (I assume...
  10. Giving the 4xe conversion some serious thought

    I think you're right on the size. At 75 mph on 35s, that thing burns through a tank in like 225 miles. We did a San Diego to North Central Colorado trip for Thanksgiving in it (3 dogs and 2 kids don't fit in the backseat of the JT very well), and stopping every three hours for gas was awful...
  11. Giving the 4xe conversion some serious thought

    Yep. I learned to drive on manual transmissions, so to me two foot driving is a noner. The biggest complaint I have really is our fault. We bought a 4xe Sahara, lifted it, and put 35s on it. Note that I didn't say anything about gearing. The 3.46s are great for around town and short drives...
  12. Giving the 4xe conversion some serious thought

    Having both in the driveway (well the 4xe is, the diesel JT on the other hand...), I disagree with your "turd" comment. They both have their ups and downs. The instant torque from the electric motors when your crawling a waterfall is fantastic. No need to "pin it to win it", unless you really...
  13. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    Hence the reason I’m so pissed man! Because I was stranded on some remote mountain top! Additives might help, and I will be using them on a go forward basis. It’s not always the lack of lubrication that causes the failures though. Moisture in the fuel causes corrosion on the fuel pump...
  14. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    Sorry, I'm a little passionate regarding this issue! I stand by a manufacturing issue. I say that because the CP4 and ULSD have been around for about the same amount of time, 12 years give or take. One would think that in that amount of time a manufacturer would figure out a way to build a...
  15. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    No, and frankly, I shouldn't have to. My 2012 and 2016 Powerstrokes pumped way more fuel at 9k than this EcoDiesel has and I had zero issues with them and I didn't use fuel additives in them. Ultimately, the failure is on the manufacturer. I shouldn't have to add anything to my tank except...
  16. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    I’m a little touchy on the fuel pump subject after it stranded the family and I in the middle of fricking nowhere despite being overly cautious. It can happen to anyone. There’s zero warning. The motor just dies and won’t restart. Trust me, it’s a terrible feeling when you realize you’re...
  17. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    Only towing has been a uhaul trailer for an in town move and my 20’ car trailer empty once or twice. It has been on 37s for about 3600 miles, so there’s a little more load on the engine than it would be stock. Luck of the draw, I suppose. We are rapidly approaching payment #2 FCA will be...
  18. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    No sketchy fuel ups, I try to fuel at high turnover stations, if possible. Fuel/water separator drained ever 2k miles or so with no moisture ever noted. This is my fifth diesel vehicle, and the forth in the last ten years, so I'm no stranger to the maintenance requirements. The last EcoDiesel...
  19. Diesel Engine issue tracking thread... also please post if NO issues!

    9171 miles, CP4 failure stranded me, the wife, and two kids on a trail. Went in the shop 45 days ago, still waiting on parts.
  20. Anza-Borrego this weekend

    It’s off of Fish Creek Wash. Well, have fun thrashing some tuna!
