Stop Sale Diesel Gladiator?

[Jakeyou]

I believe that issue was resolved.... should have been resolved as of May22. They revised the HP pump. But Who knows. They are still using that dumb 2nd battery thats causing hell for many people.

I'm still waiting for a HP pump for my truck. What they usually do is fix the warranty one first before they build new ones.

Not sure you completely read my post.. it's already built. Sorry to hear you're still waiting. How many weeks you been waiting?

This might be the reason high pressure fuel pump recall

The recall affects the following vehicles…

• 21,244 units of the Jeep Wrangler built from August 20th, 2019 to November 2nd, 2021.
• 7,375 units of the Jeep Gladiator built from June 4th, 2020 to May 13th, 2022.
• 31,794 units of the Ram 1500 built from May 29th, 2019 to January 21st, 2022.

Mine was built Feb 2023. Was there MORE that are recalled or another recall?

I'm expecting another round of recall for MY22/23 later this year.

I ordered a Diesel Gladiator 1-2-23 that was built ready to ship since Feb 21st. Wednesday this week i was told FCA is issuing a full stop sale notice.. wth?.. PS Diesels are NOT built with manuals, they have the 8HP75 heavy-duty auto transmission.

The diesel option was never offered with a manual in either the JL or JT. In fact, the manual used is questionable at best.

 

[Dougstdig]

They do not build the Diesels with manuals in the 23's

…or ‘20, ‘21 & ‘22. Never came with it as an option. In fact they only offer it with the 8hp75 ZF also standard behind the 392 in other models due to its strength.

Interesting I knew the cutoff was early 2022 and I have a build date of March and showing no recall on mine.

I got the recall letter in October still says part unavailable.

I’m in the suspecting fuel pump recall issue. I got the recall notice back in October, but still no parts available.

I don't think FCA will do anything with the fuel pump until the feds complete their investigation. Why start something and have to stop and go in another direction.

That's unfortunate.. A diesel 6-speed MT would be basically perfect in 4.10.

Except that Jeep can't build 6 speeds, they all explode. Jeep is aware and thanks you for your understanding.

The recent Gladiators that are outside of the recall period still have the CP4.2 injection pump, just like all the recalled ones. No matter what they try to do to harden that pump against our "bad" fuel, it has an inherent design problem that causes shrapnel to be pumped throughout the fuel system and into the injectors (clogging them) when it starts to fail. A failing pump will cause the engine to abruptly stall (which is the reason for the recall) as well as $10K or so of damage to the fuel system. They need to design this problem out of it or replace it with a good pump such as a CP3 that does not have this problem. The CP4 is a truly dumb design. No consideration was given to its failure and the damage it would cause.

I get the feeling Jeep is going to cancel any diesel not already on the lot and write them off. I don’t think the OP will get his truck.

If it’s any consolidation the Bosch CP4 fuel pump issue is present in Ram and Ford heavy duty diesels as well. I have an F-350 Super Duty and this issue has been all over the online forums with no definitive fix. A few people have put an inline Filter but it is only a band aid.
