Diesel Survey- Successful and De-rated Vehicle Setups

[jeepin48]

I would love to hear some successful stories of how well your JT has worked for you.
Who has had overheating (de-rating) issues with their diesel and who has not.
Please document the the following information:

Outside temperature?
Engine oil, Trans, and coolant temp?
Error code or what the dash said?
Did it clear itself with a key cycle?
Were you towing a trailer? If so width, height, and weight?
How fast were going?
How long did it tow or drive successfully before you had an issue?
Difficulty of hills and altitude ( 1 flat - 10 mountain pass ) ?
Any particular triggers you noticed?
How did it handle?
Vehicle mods?
Pictures of you setup ?

Hopefully this will give us all a real world view of what these Gladiators can and can not do.
Thanks in advance to anyone who participates.
