The second Jeep that I had owned, which was the 2 door soft top wrangler, at 90,000 some odd miles had the cylinder gasket on one of the cylinders, or whatever that infamous issue was with the early Pentastar V-6 engine was that caused a miss-fire on the cylinder and would allow the coolant to...
Love the color of the truck and overall how it looks. I don't own a Gladiator yet, still considering one, but have owned a couple of Jeeps the last one of which was a Wrangler Sport. It was much like your Gladiator in the sense that it was the basics, my windows were manual as well as the door...
I do not have any inside information or anything like that, just reading various articles and such across the internet has lead me to believe that the diesel option is not to be any longer. None of us will know anything for sure until late Summer or early Fall when the announcement about the...
Thanks for the feedback. I am not as apprehensive now about the gearing as when I first asked the question as the posts have helped educate me in an area that I really didn't have any experience or knowledge in before.
Thanks again for all the additional great information and details provided by these well informed posts. I will consider all of it as I weigh my options in deciding if to get the Gladiator, stay with what I have, or get something else.
I currently have a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7L V8...
Thanks for the detailed information. Your rig sounds like a great off road vehicle ready to tackle just about anything. Hope you have many adventures with it.
Thanks for the informative additional information. I have driven a stick plenty, but at this point am looking at automatic as my work commute does involve a lot of start/stop/red light sitting in downtown traffic. With the information everyone has provided I don't feel as apprehensive about...
Looking at a couple of different Gladiators and trying to decide which one would work best for me. One is a Sport S with max tow package and 4.10 gearing. The other is the Willys with the standard 3.73 gearing.
I rarely have a need to tow and don't think my future needs will change much from...
Can a Sport S that does not have a lift use the LT255/75R17C that is the stock tire size of the Willys or is the reason the Willys can use that size due to the 1.5" lift that comes with that model?
In looking at some Gladiators online, viewing their window stickers, under the Optional Equipment heading, I sometimes see the line "premium front bumper with gloss black accents". Is this a steel bumper that would be able to have a winch attached to it or is it some sort of plastic bumper...
I was investigating acquiring a diesel gladiator when the recalls started happening. As of the most recent recall, it caused all dealers to not be able to sell any of the diesel gladiator inventory they have on hand until the fix for the issue is available. There were two dealers that had some...
I would agree with you regarding Bosch should be on the hook for this since it is their fuel pump.
One of the local Jeep/Dodge/Ram dealers in my area had several new unsold 2022 Ram 1500 diesel on their web site, several new unsold 2023 Ram 1500 diesels on their web site, and a couple of 2023...
I had been looking into acquiring a diesel gladiator just before all of this fuel pump matter came about. Part of that watching was to look at available inventory within a large mile range from me. This evening while I can still look at that inventory from the gladiator site, when I take the...
I came across this detailed article late yesterday which goes into a little more detail about the issue. As some of you may have seen a posting of mine in another forum thread, I have been considering a diesel gladiator acquisition and at first thought about trying to order one, but have since...
Appreciate the clarification on the 3.8L V6, that was something I did not know.
Also appreciate the thought on the diesel. When I first began looking into this I wasn't aware of the situation but have since realized that the matter has a high degree of uncertainty about it. I suppose in...
