2021 Gladiator Screen Went Blank and Steering Question

[scoobycarolanNC]

Good call on the track bar & brace. How lifted are you? I caught you’re running beadlocks so I bet a bit. Did you get an alignment? If so post the sheet they gave you so we can see it.

OP isn't running beadlocks - that was another post.
He may be running them, but didn't say he was.

...so they lowered it to 36 just before you picked it up, or it was at 36 when you took it in? I think it needs to be 37 or you will get warning message to inflate to 37 PSI...unless there is a few PSI "forgiveness"?

Not sure what the PSI was when I drove it off the lot or if they lowered it to 36... I drove it today on the freeway enroute to the dealership for the screen issue and the steering improved quite a bit.. Still has a little play but not so bad anymore..

Haha...I didn't even know what beadlocks are so I had to google it before I replied.. So no beadlocks on my gladiator..

Yes the Synergy Front Track Bar... improved the handling a lot! No I didn't get an alignment. I only have 900 miles so far. And on the lift...still stock everything..

Keep us updated on what happens. I'm dealing with the blue screen of death as well. Also bought new in July.

They have to replace the radio...The weird thing was the screen was blank for 5 days but as soon as the service tech sat on the driver's seat, the screen started working and is still working, Hopefully it will continue to work until the radio is replaced..

Wow. Sucks to make such a significant replacement so soon, but I'm glad you sorted it out. I'll be heading down to the dealer myself this week I suppose.

My camera worked off and on for the first 3 months of ownership. Dealer had my '21 Gladiator with blue screen for camera for 9 hours one day. Couldn't find the issue so I picked it up and called another dealership. They were weeks out to even look at it (I hate the dealerships around me) so I looked here and got ahold of Jeep cares via the forum. No help there either.

I decided to start at the back and work forward and after removing the small panel on my tailgate I find that the camera is unplugged. Fixed. How is something so easy so hard for the service department to find?

If you are still having issues with your cameras check to make sure it hasn't worked itself loose.

That sucks. They did find the same problem, loose wire.

My 8.4 inch head unit on my '18 JLUR would randomly go blank and reset itself after a few seconds/minutes. This started not long after I bought it (new). I reported the problem multiple times to my dealer over the 2.5 years I owned it. They ended up replacing it under warranty, but I ended up trading it in on my '20 Gladiator (also new) the same week that they replaced it, so I don't know if that actually resolved the problem or not.

Fast forward to my Gladiator, and my 8.4 inch head unit in it ALSO does the same rebooting thing, although seemingly not as frequently as the JLUR. I'm convinced this is just an "option" instead of a problem now. Not even gonna mess with it unless the head unit fails entirely.

My wife jokes that now I need to trade the Gladiator in to "upgrade my radio" again. If they drop the 392 in the Gladiator, I definitely plan on "upgrading my radio" again.

I had a blue screen that had to be replaced on a Chevy truck. Always take pictures and video when it happens. Once I just drove to the dealer and never turned the truck off. The service manager saw the screen and I said turn the truck off which he did and when he started it the screen was perfect. It got replaced.
Regarding steering I look at Jeep as old school because of the straight front axle which to me feels and handles different than independent four wheel drive.
