It's been a while since I looked into it, but the engine is of Italian design and I believe their diesel fuel does have more lubricity... that's my reasoning for running additive.
This I believe you are correct on the diesel in Europe is much cleaner and has added lubricity. Diesel in the USA is very dirty and if lubricant isnt added . Its rest in pieces for the lousy pumps they been putting in diesels for the last 20 yrs. I have owned 2 diesel Rams and both constantly changed filters every 6,000 miles and they was always dirty with black filth and I am like the most meticulous person about that stuff. I belive in going over board with Fuel and Oil filters. In my gasser Jeep I have changed the oil 27 times and filters 54 times for a total mileage of 152,600 miles.
Here........Loves and Pilot truck stops diesel prices are $5.89 to $5.99 a gallon. I filled up today at an Amoco at $5.49 across the road from a Pilot that was $5.89.
The problem with American fuel is that nobody is really policing it. Even though fuel additives are added by the supplier with the intent to meet ASTM standards, that doesn't mean that every batch is treated equally. It's been proven that some fuel at the pump doesn't meet the minimum lubricity spec required for the CP4 pump.
Love's offers .25 cents off per gallon if using their app. The other option, although not practical with the Gladiator, is to use a fuel card on the commercial side. I've seen up to a .60 cent savings per gallon using the Opens Roads (TSD Logistics) fuel card.
It's all hook & crook if they can supply then it doesnt need to be that high oil companies are just seizing the opportunity to milk you.
Loves and Pilot truck stops across the country are always the highest prices. They make it convenient for the truckers with big parking lots, showers and truck parts. Plus lot lizards.
Bend me over and stick it in dry.And here I am in F%%#% Cali….
Don’t worry, I’ll add some HotShots before I clear myself hot in.
Sorry to hear about the trouble! Hopefully it's the last time... But this is the situation I dread. I just went over 60k and my extended warranty ended. Do I buy another plan... Or.... If yes then which plan?. HmmSo I 'm posting this to vent a little, poke fun at the situation and maybe get some sympathy from like minded people, so here we go again.
I've had my diesel 3.0 since Sep of 2022 and almost 70k miles. It has been great! I love the torque and the MPG and I still believe that with some tweaks this engine is great!
I enjoyed about 1.5 trouble free years until the first pump gave out, like at bout 30k some miles. I was without the jeep for about 39 days. I understand, it was during the parts shortage but the dealership was super difficult to work with, and @JeepCares got involved. The biggest issue was the lack of communication from everyone and the fact I had to wait like a week before getting a loner. But at the end I stuck it out and Jeep responded with an extended warranty plan that covered me until 125K.
But here we are again at almost 70K miles the pump gave out again, but this time feels like different. When I tried to arrange a tow it felt like I was playing phone tag with jeep wave, jeep and the warranty plan. After everything was said and done I ended up paying $160 for the tow, which was like 5 miles all together, and I had to use the same dealership. I was told that they had a new service team and that the experience would be different, it was different, this time I had to wait 3 weeks to get a loaner, so there's that. And now I'm almost at the 4 week line and there's parts issues again, something about a hard line, with no ETA.
So I guess it's anyone's bet to see if I beat my previous record of 39 days
Maybe I can get some decals of the CP4 pump with alayer on top and put 2 of them next to my badges of honor
So... Has anyone been thru 2 fuel pumps yet??

I like it but I was thinking like a colored picture of it?
I was told by the dealership that the pump goes under the powertrain warranty. Which for the diesel is 100K miles and 5 year I believe
