Yep, saw that … would love one for the JL/JT … what kind of temp reduction did you see with it ? I’d imagine 5-10 degrees… when in motion of course.The deep oil pan is only for the 2014 - 2019 EcoDiesel. I have one on my 2015, which now is a 12-quart capacity.
It's really hard to know, but I would guess a good 8*F reduction on the longer grades. The extra capacity gives the oil more time to rest and cool before it's cycled back through the engine. Essentially, the oil takes longer for the temps to reach overheat protection.
JEEP knows this was and would be an issue before the 1st diesel Jeep.was built, yet they still built it, sold it and gave it an unrealistic tow rating. Anyone who says they tow and never debated is a liar. They all will do this as oil temps rise automatically by the PCM to protect the engine. Any dealer that wants to recreate this is ignorant and has untrained and uninformed techs. Now I have a JT that just went over 100,000 miles and has been at dealer 5 weeks now after breaking down twice after the DPF wad replaced just 150 miles earlier and now claimed has to be replaced again which would make the 4th DPF in 50K miles. All of my diesel and trans related issues have been blamed by my towing of a 2600lb trailer coast to coast twice a year. Most common breakdown failure to regen but 2 turbos replaced, trans replaced at 50K, now 4 DPFs since 50K and exhaust replaced once. It's been in the shop more than a dozen times for more than a.total of 140 days, most breakdowns 1000 miles or more from home and every dealer tells me the same thing....it's due to towing and the diesel in the Wrangler type vehicles is more than a problem than it was worth to try to sell more vehicles when they would have still sold the same number of JTs with or without the diesel option. I've also been told that All Gladiators have a higher instance of warranty repairs of any Jeep model and that 2026 will be the final year of production due to lower sales numbers that go down year after year and to make room for the new midsized Ram truck that was designed from the ground up. RIP Gladiators will be the phrase sooner than later as consumers have seemingly abandoned the Jeep truck fir many reasons.
Why haven’t you dumped it yet?
He is having more fun bitching about it.
I have nearly 50K in adds but am now pursuing a federal lemon law action against Jeep which won't require a buy back but will result in a cash settlement
Generally speaking, I encourage people who plan to do a lot of towing to stay within 70% of the maximum rated capacity to ensure a positive towing experience. The 3rd gen EcoDiesel in the Jeep is unique in that the maximum tow rating is limited by cooling rather than the axle, suspension, chassis, etc. It was the same way in the 2014 - 2019 Ram trucks. The Hemi had a higher tow rating than the EcoDiesel simply due to cooling restrictions.
Good luck…. My understanding is their financial position is currently rejecting all buy backs, period, a cash settlement isn’t looking much better….
So your logic is that because your experience has been shitty, everyone else who hasn’t experienced the same (regardless of different circumstances, use cases, etc.) must be liars?
In other words, 1+1=3 and if you disagree then 
you.
I tow 3-4 times a year a very loaded 16ft enclosed trailer from the northern border to the southern tip of texas and I have never derated. My JTRD also is running heavy 38s. I'm just not an idiot and when I see temps start to rise I slow down and I don't use cruise control while towing. Either you got a lemon or you just don't know how to drive. Either way your bitching is quite annoying.
No wish I didn't have to bitch but after owning 36 trouble free Jeeps prior to the Gladiator I do what I can to warn people about buying one based on not only my experiences but those of others documented on this forum. Ive had lots of fun when it runs as one would expect but plenty of heartbreak when it sits at a dealer broke down again and again for the same chit problems. Jeeps failed experiment into a pick up version is coming to an end. in no more being built after 2026 so enjoy while you can.
Well financially speaking Stellantis is hurting which is why they've denied 3 warranty claims that should have been covered. Dealer said they have been rejecting lots of warranty claims because the vehicle was used for off reading WTFGood luck…. My understanding is their financial position is currently rejecting all buy backs, period, a cash settlement isn’t looking much better….
Stock price isn’t the lowest it’s ever been, but uhhh, yeah
See, that’s the logic I had , so I bought a trailer 66% in my maximum … and it doesn’t performGenerally speaking, I encourage people who plan to do a lot of towing to stay within 70% of the maximum rated capacity to ensure a positive towing experience. The 3rd gen EcoDiesel in the Jeep is unique in that the maximum tow rating is limited by cooling rather than the axle, suspension, chassis, etc. It was the same way in the 2014 - 2019 Ram trucks. The Hemi had a higher tow rating than the EcoDiesel simply due to cooling restrictions.
Staying within that 70% capacity is more of a guideline than a rule, but it does give truck buyers a good starting point when choosing trucks and trim levels. For example, my 2023 Rubicon EcoDiesel is rated for 6,000 lbs of towing capacity. If I were to follow the 70% guideline, then I would want to keep my towing loads at 4,200 lbs or under.
I don't want to pick on @steelponycowboy too much, but he claims to only be towing 2,600 lbs. But if you look at his Rubicon, he's running a lift kit with taller (heavier) tires. Both of those deviations from the factory specification are not ideal for towing and running cooler temperatures. He also has some type of camper shell/rooftop apparatus in his profile picture that will further add additional strain to the engine. It would be interesting to know what his payload is when towing.
It should perform fairly well at 66%. Is your issue overheating (reaching derate)?See, that’s the logic I had , so I bought a trailer 66% in my maximum … and it doesn’t perform
Yea, derate up the grades here in AZ. Power is lovely, cooling sucks. 95-100 degrees, AC and small airstream (aerodynamic).
