Does anyone with the ecodiesel have any data on how much it has reduced the under hood temps? A few Gladiators have had high coolant and oil temps when towing up a grade in 90 degrees. We are looking for ways to help reduce these temperatures.

Where in Colorado are you located?

I didn’t install any spacers. If I remember it sat pretty level. No winch but did have the steel front and rear bumpers. I’ve traded the JLU in February for a diesel Gladiator.

Any update to the removed trails? I also emailed them and haven’t heard back. I wonder what’s going on.

Has anyone been able to find out who makes the oil that has the Mopar part number for the Gen3 Ecodiesel? I’ve been talking to my dealership and they are telling me that it’s Rotella T6 oil. They are still using Rotella even though Shell says that it doesn’t meet Mopar’s required specs. Here is...

I already have 12k miles on mine and they have been great. I run 37 psi and rotate every 5k miles and they are wearing perfectly.

I spoke to the service manager for the dealership, not the quick lube, and he was very apologetic and helpful. They did another oil change while we both watched, he gave me another voucher but I probably won’t use it and noted it into my record that they overfilled the oil by five quarts. He...

Nope. They never drained the old oil and added another five for a total of ten quarts. The level on the dip stick was about 4” higher than where it is supposed to be.

Definitely glad that I did. I’d hate to see what would of happened over another 5-7k miles with ten qts in the 2.0.

I tow an Rpod that is 8’ wide but that includes the wheels. The box is smaller and close to 76” wide. I can easily see down the side of the camper with my stock mirrors. My camper weighs 3,200 lbs and I’ve already towed it from Oklahoma to Florida with no problems.

You won’t need mirror extenders with a 6’ wide trailer. If you want you could add a Furion rear observation camera to see behind you while driving. You will need to install a brake controller and Id recommend a weight distribution hitch to help with towing. Several of us tow 6x20 campers and...

Most auto parts stores (Autozone, O’Riley’s, Advanced Auto) recycle it so you can take it there.

First let me say that I’m not naming the dealership right now as I need to speak to the service manager on Monday about the issue. Yesterday I used their quick service oil change to change the oil in my 2.0 under the Jeep Wave program. If it wasn’t for being free, I would be doing it myself...

No. I have the 2.0.

Prior to purchasing my camper I installed the Superchips tune and used the tow tune when hauling it back. I occasionally saw temps near 220 but then the electric fan quickly brought it back down to 208. I’m guessing they also changed the fan settings to help when towing. I’m hoping that I don‘t...

I am waiting for summer to see how the temps will be. How did a heavier trailer help your temps?

It‘s over the 350 lb tongue weight but not by much. I realize that can’t be changed but I did install a Curt hitch that supports 450 lbs with a weight distribution hitch.

I tow a RPod that weighs 3,200 lbs with the battery and propane. We pack light but I’ll weigh it once loaded and expect it to be around 3,500 lbs. The Jeep does great towing it but I wouldn’t want to have a dry weight over 3,500 lbs.

Rpod 189 model. The 2.0 turbo handles it well.
