Does not fit an Ecodiesel Gladiator.

I’m sure there is one that does though. I even got one for my wife’s Volvo.

The Amazon link posted is the drain plug I ordered and fit both 2022 and 2023 Diesel gladiators.

I have posted the valvomax link to the Wrangler 3.0 ecodiesel for Fitment…. They do not list the gladiator with a diesel.

Installed reaper off-road bumper and installed front dash and roll bar 3.5 Kenwoods , all good all the way around

Do you know the dim from the front of your grill to the outermost part of the bumper? Checking the dims for parking/garage. Thanks

We have rain inbound but I’ve noticed after the past few washes/rains that the wax job(if any) was subpar. Bought from dealer 12/23. Washed/waxed her today and the hood felt gritty so clay barred the hood. Soft as cotton now. Incredible difference a clay bar job can do.

and had some encouragement…

Swapped out the factory halogen fog light bulbs for LEDs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A1YU2TS. They're alright—better than halogens, but not as bright as I was hoping. Had to adjust the angle of the fog lights a lot to get them down towards the pavement more.

Also added a smaller light bar. It to is... alright. https://www.quadratec.com/p/tactik/led-light-bars. I could mount it on top of the fairlead, but I didn't want anything else blocking air to the radiator.

I was going from a 20-inch lightbar to this 7.5". I should have lowered my expectations more. Just needed more light for late night/early morning treks through national forests.

Well, after starting with a metalcloak leveling kit and 33s. then 35s, then regearing, then replacing the axle with a spicer dana 60, adding 3.5 springs in the back for the rake, not liking the rake, changed out the front springs for 3.5, now after adding metalcloak adjustable control arms, front and rear track bars, extended brake lines, tie rods ends, drag link and stabilizer, the only thing left is ball joints. I know I did it convoluted but it does kind of guarantee me and this truck are till death do we part. I almost forgot, the rear driveshaft was replaced when I did the axle with Adams, I was suppose to have the Adams front driveshaft yesterday but they sent the wrong one. Adams are overnighting the right driveshaft. Ball joints next
I do love this truck. The tie rods, drag link and stabilizer are what I did actually yesterday. Actually OCD Offroad in Stafford VA, great people

Have you had any leak issues with the valvomax? there are quite a few reviews that state it leaks from the start.

Went up to 37’s, moved the 35’s to my off-road trailer. Getting ready to start hitting trails next month.

I have had them on 5 different vehicles now, I have not had any leak issues. Possibly those with leaks did not install the crush washer and torque properly.

No, and I have it on 4 vehicles just by design I don’t know how anyone would have leaks. It has two means of keeping from leaking- the internal plunger and then the cap. This is why I went from the fumoto to the valvomax. The probability of something catching the lever of the fumoto was low… but regardless, it was only one action to open… this one has two.

Reviews say it leaks at the threads, not the valve. I assume bad install. Thanks for the reply.

Telfon tape or pipe dope. Problem solved.
