I have over 15K on my Overland and no issues.Hey there,
I am looking at potentially purchasing a gladiator overland, but reading some scary stuff reading the forms. Now understanding when you look in a repair forum for known issues you only see the bad not the good.
Are there folks how there with higher mileage who are not having crazy issues with cylinder misfires, ESS ssues or anything else major?
I'm unfortunately going through the same issue right now, dealer has had my truck 3 times.Bought my Gladiator in July. It's been in for service for the engine light and start/stop issue 3 times so far. First time for 2 days, 3 days the second time, and now for a week and a half. Just got a text from the dealer stating "engineering is having the tech replace several lash adjusters and some internal cylinder components. Parts on order but don't expect arrival for a few days." I'll post the results of the repairs.
On Friday I was notified by the dealer that engineering instructed the dealer to put a completely new engine in my truck. Dealer ordered the new engine the same day and they expect to have all work completed this coming Thursday. Certainly points to some number of defective engines. A recall may be coming. I'll post the results of performance of the truck with the new engine. Looks like a recall may be coming.......
Just got my truck back after 3 weeks. I was told that the engine light and start/stop issues are related to engine block casting flaws that affect oil flow through the engine. I'll continue to report engine performance and advise of any more issues.
I wish you the best of luck. My issues started with 18 miles... still going on. Had it for just a little bit over 2K miles, been in the shop 4 times for 70+ days and counting...Hey there,

Had mine for a year now, daily driver and no problems, just a deer running into me at a red light but even then the bumper popped back in placeHey there,

Technical Service BulletinWhat is a tsb??
Thanks for the specifics!!Avoid Gladiators with build dates from 10/19 to 3/20 and you should be OK. There was a batch of engines that were bored by a defective tool during that time.
