  1. List All Engine/Tranny Issues with the 3.0 Diesel

    as I stated, having temp issues WITHOUT towing. That being said Ido occasionally tow a small offroad trailer that’s about 12-1300lbs loaded.
  2. List All Engine/Tranny Issues with the 3.0 Diesel

    I think for the most part the engine is a pretty reliable platform and the issues you encounter may vary depending on your use case. The biggest issue for me and many others is the engine heat issue. These motors build heat very fast especially when you are on the turbo a lot. So maintaining...
  3. Bestop with Rear Cargo Shelf?

    I haven’t tried to install yet. This shipment of my top was delayed so it came right before I was heading out of town for two weeks. I will install when I get back in a week or so. Fingers crossed.
  4. Bestop with Rear Cargo Shelf?

    when I called them they were not so sure. I will find out soon enough as my top showed up and I need to install it...
  5. Bestop with Rear Cargo Shelf?

    Hi Everyone- Just picked up a Bestop for my Diesel. Looking at the install instructions it mounts to the two holes in the roll bar in the rear cargo area. I also have a rear cargo shelf from American Adventure Labs that mounts in the same spot. I would like to keep that as part of my setup...
  6. AEV JL 2.5 Dualsport RT on an eco diesel

    yes. I am tracking those and will order them when available. I will use them in conjunction with an adjustable more heavy duty lift.
  7. AEV JL 2.5 Dualsport RT on an eco diesel

    this has not been my experience at all. I have similar weight as you but the suspension didn’t respond well to that. I was literally riding on my rear bump stops at that weight. In addition, I had continuous problems with mine. After 6 months I removed the suspension. It was creating...
  8. Took the plunge. Ordered Green Diesel Tune.

    $200 seems awfully cheap for a PCM. I just had one replaced in my RAM 2500 and it was $4500
  9. AEV JL 2.5 Dualsport RT on an eco diesel

    man you got some weight on that Jeep. I am 6700 so hope it handles the weight fine. How do you feel about the brakes? I feel like they are getting a little overloaded.
  10. AEV JL 2.5 Dualsport RT on an eco diesel

    I am sure there are a number here that have. Mine is sitting in my garage and will be installed next weekend when I get back into town! I will be curious how it handles all of the additional weight I have on the vehicle - gobi rack, tent, swing out bumper, rocksliders etc.
  11. Alcon Big Brake Kit for JL Wrangler Complete!

    Any experience installing these on a diesel with the vacuum booster? I am not digging the vagueness of the stock brakes and given the weight I am carrying need to figure out a solution for a firmer pedal feel and more stopping power.
  12. Diesel Lift Kit?

    get out there and test that setup so you can report back!!! I am interested to know how the springs do! Also curious if anyone has bought the AEV but upgraded the shocks?
  13. Diesel Lift Kit?

    Vendors like to sell what they have. The more use cases for a given set of parts the better. I don’t think all springs are created equally and even though a gas shock may work it will behave differently with more weight on it than intended. Spring rate and load go hand in hand. I could care...
  14. Diesel Lift Kit?

    I have a diesel rubicon as well.
  15. Diesel Lift Kit?

    Well if you are lighter than stock and dont even get the full 2.5" then I am not optimistic about all the weight I am already carrying plus what I plan to add. Bummer...
  16. Diesel Lift Kit?

    Cool, did you have any optional gear (racks, bumpers etc) prior to install?
  17. Diesel Lift Kit?

    Definitely interested in some real world opinions of folks running the AEV kit with heavy loads. As far as heavy loads I mean multi-day overloading trips with full gear (fridge, all the camping stuff, water etc) PLUS a roof top tent, winch, bumpers etc. It ends up being quite a bit of weight...
  18. 3.0 JL Rubicon bumper

    I am emailed rockhard about this and their response was “not a problem”. Seems like we are good to go!
  19. 3.0 JL Rubicon bumper

    Eeesh I ordered some too. Never thought to tell them I had diesel. I doubt Jeep would engineer something that would get in the way of sliders. I have a Rubicon with factory sliders so it has to be possible.
  20. Harbor Freight Badland Apex 12,000# Winch Lower Price

    Stupid question but how did you get the top control box off? I want to take it off to drill and re-route the cable but after undoing the four bolts it still doesn't want to come off. The one end with the connections doesn't release. Do I have to undo the bolts for all the connections to...
