Wow, you have no problem dissecting peopleās comments. My apologies I should have said itās ālikeā a Redarc.It's not a Redarc - the wiring harness end is the same as Tekonsha. (but that doesn't matter, just semantics.)
I'd have to read back through forum posts but I'm fairly sure some have said they ordered their Gladiator with the brake controller installed factory.
I would say after towing with mine it did adapt. It was a different animal after a little while on the road and the trip back was smooth as could be, shifting better than my Silverado did IN tow mode. That impressed me - my Chevy in tow mode had more shifting back and forth and hit higher RPMs than this little Pentastar.
So I'm not sure what's up with SOME people and the diesel. Since the Pentastar is towing all over the place just fine - what's going on.
Then you have WXMan who tows with a JT diesel and has zero troubles at all.
THAT makes sense.
My 3.6 never left normal temps as far as coolant and transmission temps. Oil temps stayed nice and low as well. In fact, I'd say none of the temperatures on my JT 3.6 were ever out of ordinary normal driving ranges.
