The general impressions I’ve been hearing on the cloaked owners Facebook group is very positive. Haven’t seen anything that would concern me so far. The reds just aren’t cut out for wheeling with any kind of speed involved over a crawl. There were a few GC owners on reds I had running with me on...

I haven't personally talked to a rep from Amsoil but there's been plenty of others in the past that have. While they don't have anything currently that meets our exact specs, the closest oil they have is 5w40 FS European synthetic (silver label). The big difference here is that FS is a full saps...

JScan has an adaptation function that will allow you to access it. You’ll need the SGW cable in order for it to actually trigger. It’s not advisable to do unless you’re trying to diagnose an issue or unplug a DPF that’s not clearing from normal active regens. Make sure it’s parked outside, at...

Interesting. If you read the manual for 2023 (I think it’s page 327 but don’t quote me on that), it’s very specific about meeting ACEA A3/B4 but recommends 12991. Having an oil that’s a C3 with 12991 makes me wonder wtf 12991 really is (first) and why they’re so adamant about the ACEA rating in...

Figured I would give some insight from my personal experience thus far on the whole "What oil to run?" debate. To start, I have zero clue what oil was in this beast when I bought it. I can only assume it was mopar packaged Pennzoil 5w40. Didn't run it long enough to care though since I changed...

Yep. I’m a clown with a smol pp posing as a Rubicon owner. 👍

Just did the oil change on my M3 yesterday. Ramps are pretty much a requirement…very specific ones with 3 different sections to make sure the front end clears: I’m with you though, I don’t see the need for a valve. It’s not a big enough hassle to use a set of gloves and just pull the plug off...

Little off topic but have you run Hot Shots EDT prior to Archoil? If so, notice any difference? Archoil is noticeably pricier so I’m curious if it’s even worth the extra money.

I’m kinda surprised you got that much. The one dealer out here sitting on the last brand new JLURD in the state still wants MSRP minus $250 dealer discount. $66k and some change for a non Far Out diesel. :CWL: At $62,000 I’d be tempted to take the deal and run. Anything lower than $60k, I’d be...

Welp, never mind. It’s back in my hands and the pumps been replaced. Even got the manual amendment paperwork with the fancy fuel restriction card. New sticker under the hood proving it’s been done. I guess these guys have done a few of these now so at least I wasn’t one of their first. This pump...

Just dropped mine off this morning. Said it would take at least 2 days. 😵‍💫 Guess we’ll see how competent their diesel tech is based on this.

I don’t know why but this post reminded me of the clown in a VW who told me my Jeep isn’t a real Rubi today. :CWL: Must’ve woke up with TDS and forgot his coffee. Anywho, here’s mine, I’m a little biased…

So I got the new Metalcloak relocation brackets installed. These damn things are so new the only place to find the correct install guide is through the rocksport black shocks. Apparently they’re designed specifically for them whereas the originals are meant for fox and rocksport red (as far as I...

Hold the phone dude. The K02's you were running weighed anywhere between 65 and 70lbs a tire depending on which spec you had. To expect similar performance out of your rig (modified power or not) on stock gears moving up to a Falken R/T that's an inch larger in diameter and and inch wider in...

Spot on. Just keep in mind that alphawolff is a dealer tech in California and does see more than most of us do in the service bays. His insight gives us a little more to chew on than just the usual customer/advisor testimonials. Sourcing parts in a CARB dealer network from his point of view...

I'd like to get one of those but most of them are stupid expensive for what they are. I feel like I could build my own for half of what these companies are charging for them. The thing I noticed while I was in moab that's an achilles heel with all of those 4 tire setups is the compressor used to...

Most likely to illustrate that there's filter material there (white probably looked like $hit in the original marketing design of the box). I wouldn't pay a ton of attention to box coloring/photos if I'm honest. The reason the one in your jeep was grey is the same reason mine came out in the...

Idk if there's really a fool proof way to guarantee the quality of much these days. So many damn knockoffs out there that it's almost worth it to just visit the dealer and skip the potential of getting screwed. Given what I know about Ecoguard's oil filters, I'm tempted to give their fuel filter...

Appears to be genuine. If you reference my post from back in january (here.) the filter I pulled out looked like it had been in there damn near the life of the vehicle up to my point of ownership. Hard to really know for certain, but regardless you can see the stamping on top as well as the...

I had the unique opportunity to discuss this at length with someone who's in the industry at EJS this year (he drives an Ecodiesel JT). He's a firm believer that none of them are worth the money compared to some of the latest renewable fuels that are currently expanding in the market. More...
