The term gremlin just indicates that someone doesn’t know how to troubleshoot an electrical issue. So they label it a gremlin as if it’s just the way it is. Every symptom has a cause. Gremlins are excuses for people that don’t care to take the time to figure things out.
Too often, the cause is simple - finding it can be tough if not electrically inclined.
I guess there was a third time - MY FAULT totally. Filled my wife's JLU - putting the cap back on I got the plastic cap cord in the threads and didn't get a good seal. That thing did ding up a fuel system evaporative emissions error. Simple fix - push the dash button to release the fuel filler door, unscrew the cap, put it back on making sure the little cord wasn't in the threads again - issue went away.
Technically it actually does
I think you proved his point... multiple Jeeps that you drive around with the check engine light on but we are supposed to believe you maintain them? None of ours get driven around with check engine lights on. It's there to tell you you need to address something. Fix your junk when the idiot light comes on or don't complain when you get stranded?
If its anything like my experience in a parts supplied field, most of those orders are likely a requisition for either local warehouse or even dealership safety stock to ensure they have them available for customers. Parts not actually ordered for immediate repairs.
You’re getting butthurt too.
you all started being combative with me and very defensive. It was actually a joke and you all started throwing accusations at me and making the wrong assumptions about me. I always maintain my vehicles per manufacturer’s specs or beyond, but I don’t need to prove that to you. As I said before I have owned and currently own multiple Jeeps And Toyotas at the same time. My Toyotas at 150k miles vs my Jeeps at 150k were much more reliable and trouble free. I’ll always own jeeps and I’ll always own Toyotas. I love them both, but that’s just me.
Before someone else says it, you used them wrong.
Mine were always fine - maybe because I only ever put nothing in them?Before someone else says it, you used them wrong.
Oh, and I wasn’t kidding about OP keeping the ‘08 Tundra and getting a Gladiator. That Tundra is a great truck. Use it when you don’t want to beat up the Gladiator so much doing truck stuff.
The Gladiator IS a truck. that's why I bought it - because I wanted a truck that was smaller than my big Chevy was.
You're literally the only one on here acting butt hurt or defensive. You stated every Jeep you've ever owned has left you stranded, and also that 50% of Jeeps get driven around daily with the check engine light on. It's only logical to assume that at least 50% of your Jeeps get driven around without addressing glaring issues (like a shining light telling you they need maintenance or repairs). Maybe you'd have a better track record of not getting stranded if you addressed any issues when they arise instead of driving around with the light on? Call it what you want but that disproves any statements you make about maintenance. The light shouldn't be on unless there's a problem. 99% of the time that problem has an easy solution. Take care of your vehicles and they'll take better care of you.
I guess not using them can make them last.
Shhhh no yelling , please it isnt polite
Why dont you go slap a donkey on the ass so you can get a real kick start . Warning turn quickly or else your butt ain't the only thing that will be hurting .
