  1. Declining diesel mileage

    Well, I've run out of ideas on why the mpg fluctuates so much. The last tank on the way back from Missouri I got 28 mpg. That's my best yet. All Highway but the temps got warmer the closer I got to home. Again, I calculate and try and top off each tank the same for each calculation so hard to...
  2. Declining diesel mileage

    I just made it to Missouri from Houston. I made myself drive 65 the whole way or slower. I averaged 22mpg, ALL highway miles. 620 miles. I'll admit though that the temps dropped from leaving Houston at 73 degrees to arriving in Joplin at -6 degrees and around Dallas the wind was wicked. Still...
  3. Declining diesel mileage

    Well, this makes me not feel like the Lone Ranger. I did manage to get 24.5 in city only driving this past tank. I never go by what the screen says because it said I got 25.9 that tank. Anyway, I leave for Missouri Thursday and will have several highway tanks to check. I bumped up my tire...
  4. Simple question leads to mini garage remodel - Racor hoist and Topsy bracket done!

    I love this system you made for taking off the hardtop. Seems like the simplest option I've found. I'm wondering after several years if you still like it. Also, do you think it would be possible to use a power winch to raise and lower the racor rack instead of using an impact driver? That...
  5. Simple question leads to mini garage remodel - Racor hoist and Topsy bracket done!

    Hi. Been reading lots of posts about how to take off your hardtop and I like this idea the best. Using the racor rack system. The only thing I'm wondering about is if you could use a motored winch to raise and lower instead of a impact driver. Could the cable be run to the winch do you...
  6. Declining diesel mileage

    I'd happily take/accept a decline for cold weather. Cold weather rarely happens in the Houston area.
  7. Declining diesel mileage

    Pulling a trailer is why my husband pushed me towards the diesel. He only gets 12ish with his GMC. I don't think I'll tell him what you are getting or he'll want to take my Jeep more often. :)
  8. My experience Fuel Mileage/ECO-DIESEL

    That makes perfect sense. Thank you.
  9. My experience Fuel Mileage/ECO-DIESEL

    Another question. When looking at the GDE website you have the option of getting a second ecu. I'm assuming that is basically a second computer to reset your engine back to factory??? Did you get this? I'm wondering why anyone would want to go back to the original settings after doing this...
  10. Declining diesel mileage

    Yes, a brick. I will check my air filter. Shouldn't be clogged but it's an easy check. I will also increase my tire pressure and do a tire pressure check with chalk. Easy to check this also. The hardest and possible the only culprit will be my heavy foot. It's hard for me to sit and let...
  11. Declining diesel mileage

    All good thoughts and ideas everyone. My husband wanted to do the GDE tune when we first got the Jeep for engine performance but is hesitant because of the price. Since it does improve mpg's I might split it with him. I should not be that concerned about this because I do love the Jeep but...
  12. My experience Fuel Mileage/ECO-DIESEL

    Hi. I found your post about adding the GDE tune to your Diesel. My husband has already wanted to do this to my 2022 Rubicon but has hesitated because of the cost. He wanted to do it for the performance but now that I've noticed my mpg's going down, I agreed to pay half if it will improve my...
  13. Declining diesel mileage

    You are right about the wind variances. I knew I was driving in heavy wind when I got the 20mpg on the highway. I don't know about the regen and when to expect it to happen. Will I know when it does this and how often does it happen? I have about 7200 miles on my Jeep currently and haven't...
  14. Declining diesel mileage

    Also, are your mileages what you see on your dash or actually calculated at the pump. I SEE better mileage on the dash than I actually calculate at the pump.
  15. Declining diesel mileage

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I expected your gas mileage. I live in Texas so it is pretty flat and mostly warm/hot so cold is not an option. Would increasing the tire pressure help much? What are you driving your Jeep at?
  16. Declining diesel mileage

    Hi. I just love my 2022 Jeep diesel. That being said, my mileage seems to be declining. On the first trip home from the dealership (about 200 miles) I got 26.9 mpg. I had hoped for 30 (haha) but my husband was in disbelief that I got so good. When I got home I lowered the tire pressure from...
  17. 🪛 🚪 Custom Design JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator Door Handles

    Here is a picture of my door handles. Before anyone says "but"........ I know the handles don't match the key covers. I have a 3 year old granddaughter who identifies as a "puppy" ;) so I got those for her. I didn't think I would like the doggy pattern handles so I went with the Topography...
  18. 🪛 🚪 Custom Design JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator Door Handles

    I finally got my handles in. I went with the Topography design and I couldn't be happier. Somehow I forgot to add on the tailgate one so I'll have to wait a bit but the front and back door ones are on and were a piece of cake. If I can do it, anyone can.
  19. Lost door handle screw in rear door

    Sometimes you just need to walk away and chill. I went back to it and this time I was able to find the head and got it tightened. Thank you fourseasons for reassuring me that it probably wasn't lost. I was about to take the door off. :LOL:
