Be prepared to re-gear if you go 35's. 33's are borderline with the stock Sport S 3.73 gears (which is what I'm running on my Sport S). You CAN run 35's with 3.73 gears, but you won't be seeing much of 8th gear anymore and your fuel mileage will be awful (or should I say more awful). It will...

Wow… interesting responses. I’m up to just under 20k miles now and haven’t had it happen again (yet). It’s always in the back of my mind though. Will continue to watch for it.

In the toilet is where Ford is! They've been having tons of quality issues and recalls for the past few years... and their CEO, Jim Farley, has admitted it publicly and said that it will take years to correct. No way in hell I'd buy a Ford anytime soon (and I'm not a hater... having owned...

Regardless of the any of possible reasons as to why this was done (and let's be real, we're all just guessing), I think it was very cold/cowardly of Stellantis to do this via a freaking robocall the DAY BEFORE it was effective! Those affected had ZERO warning that it was coming... no time to...

Yep... regular Sport S (no Max Tow), so 3.73 gears. Forgot to mention how much heavier those Wildpeak A/Ts are than the Bridgestone Duelers that came on it too... definitely makes a difference when accelerating. All those factors combined make it a lot more difficult to pull 8th gear. If I had...

I did not. I saw 8th less often, but I figured that was to be expected given the (slightly) taller tires. They're also wider & softer. More aerodynamic drag and more rolling resistance. I aired them up to 37-38 lbs, but on a couple of real cold mornings (and "real cold" here in SC is 30* or so...

I went from the stock Sport S wheels/31's to Rubicon take-off wheels with the original Wildpeak 285/70-17 33's - and I plugged in a height of 32.7". I believe I found that on here somewhere from a Rubicon owner who said that's the height his showed stock. Anyway, my speedo is right in line with...

This video just came up in my YouTube feed. It’s only a few days old… has it made the rounds on here yet? I have to say though… most of the comments on it from owners (as on here) are very positive.

The Gladiator is only what... roughly 500 lbs heavier than the Wrangler Unlimited... should I'd think a Gladiator 4xe will drive about the same as the Wrangle 4xe. I think they're going to update/enhance the 4xe system for the Gladiator too... so maybe it'll have a larger battery and/or provide...

Wow... I haven't seen diesel match the price of reg. unleaded in many years in my area. I just pulled up my Gas Buddy app for my area... and right now, the cheapest 87 reg. unl. is $2.99. The cheapest diesel is $3.83 at one station. Most are $4 =/- a few cents.

I bought a license, dongle, and bypass cable in 12/22 for a total of $83.86. I've only used it once so far to correct my speedo after upgrading from the stock Sport S 31" pizza cutters to stock Rubicon take-off wheels/33" tires. Hooked everything up, made the change, unplugged everything...

I agree with all of that except the fuel savings covering higher maintenance. Diesel fuel is significantly more expensive than regular unleaded gasoline, so that's basically a wash. The higher maintenance costs are still higher. The added weight of the diesel engine and those other beefed up...

They’ve made several revisions to the Pentastar to remedy that. It doesn’t happen anywhere near as often as it used to. There have been nearly 20 MILLION Pentastar V6’s produced since 2010 with no end in sight. They almost have it right now. LOL

No offense taken. I promise you, I'm not a hater... I just tried to look at the pros & cons of both engines objectively and I chose the one that was best for me. I'm sure you did the same. All that you said above may be true, but the performance specs don't lie. The 3.6 is slightly faster than...

Sure... set it up! Doesn't change the power output of the engines. It's all relative. The fact of the matter is, they're very close to each other - even if the 3.6 is slightly quicker. This was just in response to the comments about the 3.6 being a "slug" and the cute license plate frame above...

Sure about that? The 3.6 is quicker than the 3.0 to 60 and in the quarter mile. LOL

You think that was a personal attack?!? ROFL! Ohhhhkkkaaaayy Sorry, I presented facts: Anyone who can do basic math can figure out that owning the diesel will cost you more than owning the gasser. The reliability of that Italian VM Motori EcoDiesel engine is a matter of record that is...

Lots of EcoDiesel folks are fanatics about them (you, for example, fit the profile). I did do a lot of research before I bought - and certainly not just on this forum. EcoDiesels do not have the best reliability record. That's just a fact. A few people on this forum saying they haven't had any...

Again... why do you think that is? If diesels are so awesome/desirable, why are they having to throw so much money on the hood to move them - and most of all, why have they been completely discontinued for '24?

It's not like the 3.6 Pentastar is held up as a shining example of reliability... they have their issues too... so I'm sort of in the same mindset. I'll probably keep mine until the powertrain warranty is just about up (several more years at my current rate of driving) and I'll decide then if I...
