Many of your questions are answered in the recall report document found in post #57 HERE. The short of the matter is the power steering pumps with specific part numbers installed within a specific date range were found to have been manufactured with their connector being out of tolerance which...

@Rusty PW You're looking at the wrong connector. On JTs with the 3.6L you'd be looking in the right spot, but on JTs with the 3.0L the pump is rotated 90° so the connector is located on top, not on the outboard side facing the wheel well.

If you're set on a fully restored one, that's true. But I said a nice one, which can be found for that price range if you're patient.

I'd go with either a classic American 1950s restomod sedan, a nice Grand Wagoneer (original SJ, not the later versions), or a four door Wrangler.

Only time I've ever gotten windshield damage has been while driving on pavement. There's less traffic to throw stuff into your windshield off pavement, and generally in those places you're travelling slower so the impact speed isn't as high.

Listed location is Louisiana, so I'd guess you had high humidity during that 4 1/2 hr trip. Considering that and the use of a/c the entire time, I'd say you may have had some condensation on the outside of the cold HVAC ducting that dripped on you.... or you have a water leak from the rain...

Jeep used to put that detailed information in the owner's manual up through the 2023 model. Starting with the 2024 model is when they made the puzzling choice to stop putting trailer tow data in the owner's manual and refer owners to their website instead to find it, which leads us back to the...

FYI, that's actually a screenshot straight out of the official manufacturer's 2023 and 2024 sales/buyer's brochure. You can find the latest brochure here and see what the listed specs are: https://www.jeep.com/gab.html (Spoiler alert, the tow ratings aren't any higher than before.)

Aftermarket immobilizer with valet switch. Google image search to the rescue. :like:

There's been some discussion before on the subject. Short version is the website info is questionable at best, with little to no supporting data for the change in tow ratings. Jeep.com's website editing team:

Agreed, 100°F isn't that hot if the humidity is low, but then again 0°C isn't that cold either provided the wind isn't blowing too hard and you're not out in freezing rain.

For those that won't read the threads, a little context: First linked thread, the vehicle caught fire during the drive home immediately after both batteries were replaced at the dealer. While possible it may be coincidence and actually be from this recall issue, Occam's razor would point...

There's not really any real value added to be able to open and close the rear slider while driving in my opinion. As noted, opening the slider helps quite a bit to reduce buffeting when you have the freedom top panels or sunrider open. In either case though, you're either already outside of...

Looks to me more like a leak coming down from something above the axle.

No, you're thinking of the liquid to air transmission oil cooler which is mounted in front of the radiator. The transmission oil heater is a liquid to liquid unit mounted on the side of the transmission that heats the fluid with engine coolant. They're two separate parts.

It's nothing new nor changed. The owner's manual for every year the Gladiator has been produced contains the note that states the automatic door lock feature can only be disabled by the dealer. If yours really does have a user-accessible setting in Uconnect to disable the autolock feature...

Nope.

@Idlethunder No need to crawl underneath to see the connector on the ecodiesel, you can see it from above as shown in post #237.

Nothing. The gist of this recall is there was a defect identified that may result in a condition that may result in a loose connection that may result in excess heat production that may result in something catching fire. The chances of all those things lining up are pretty slim as evidenced by...

Running the numbers of Gladiator sales during the affected period versus the number subject to recall stated on the report, it looks like we can roughly expect about 80% of 2021 to mid-2025 model year JT owners will be getting a recall notice. This thread is going to get really long if...
