I would love to see the EPA go lick some trees and get the hell out of the way. Want emissions fine. Let’s bump rail pressure up another 3K, keep EGR, VGT and run a DOC and call it a day. haven’t been here I awhile either….

This is the wrong place to ask, I take that question to a Gladiator specific forum.

Hell no.

None of that sounds right……esp if you leave out the first sentence. It’s pervy.

Mine did that periodically, only on startup and had to sit at least 12 hours. A pattern developed where it would do it when air filter was seeing minor restriction. Either blow out or change air filter and wouldn’t see it again for several months. I never ran nanometer in intake so I have no...

So did a random and handsome stranger duck the shit out of you or did you duck yourself?

Ancient lore foretells a catch can would have fixed it…..

I had one once, homemade out of PVC because the Renix 4.0 in my MJ had been chowing dirt for two months and compression dropped to 90ish on all six holes. I knew engine was torched but…..like you said, a bandaid.

That can’t be true…….

Well that’s odd, I wouldn’t have been long it have rusted anyway. I’d definitely take it in and open a complaint they have to address one way or the other. They may very well do nothing and likely will do nothing but at least it’s a paper trail on it.

Just localized to those areas pictured?

Yeah it’s a pickup with part time 4WD so drive accordingly meaning that stick to left….use it. Leave that Grand Cherokee shit behind and pretend it never happened, Grands: ZJ/WJ/WK or WKll are on a different playing field than a JT, and for snow a much better field they will always win that...

Agreed, JT is fine truck. Like anything there are winners and losers in every model. My opinion overall quality isn’t any better or worse than the last 40 years for Jeep anyway. If your counting bits and bots, interior stuff not at all really. Jeeps had its share of drama in the past. Look at a...

Your safe man, let’s just say I really really know that product, like I’m in the food chain somewhere with that product. Only thing I’d change is OCI’s @ 10 and not 15. I ran a 2011 Kenworth T370 with a 300 horse B and fed it 10/30 for most of its life. 26,000 pound truck that did more work in a...

25 years around a lot of 4.0s….Renix, HO, Powertech…..massive overheats, low oil pressure, failed lifters, broken pistons skirts, polished cylinder walls. Some of instances didn’t run a few hundred miles more but 50 thousand more…..I will have at least one around until I die. Another one nobody...

We all told you to get a Maverick, but oh no…….

I rebuilt it complete around ‘20 into ‘21. Every mating surface is backed up with grey rtv, although like the model of failure dependability the rear main is leaking(go figure). It keeps all of it now.

That’s the truth there, it’s a moot issue. Engines are a helluva lot tighter than 30 plus years ago more moving timing parts internally and oil factored in as an emissions strategy now. Anything back to mid 90s it’s whatever you want kinda thing. I run old school 10/40 in my two ZJs mainly...

Yes synthetic oil is better than conventional, and there are reasons why besides the internet said so. With that said nothing is objective about that test and it sure as hell didn’t eliminate the biggest variable of the test. 10K intervals on two different types of oil, and one has the...
