Sorry about the small Audio issue! Not sure what happened. I will do a voice over when I get some time. It’s only that one spot! The rest of video is perfect!
I to love my 21 willys JT diesel. Took a trip to Stowe VT. From my house its 425mi got their on a tank of fuel with 70mi to spare. Averaged 30mpg. Around town it's 22.5mpg. The only mod I have is a daystar level kit upfront. Stock tires are 32 mts.
You thrilled me and scared me at the same time. Thinking of getting a JLURD! Thanks.
Another gas to diesel Gladiator owner here. I agree, hands down the diesel is the way to go. Im averaging 4mpg better and where I live diesel is also cheaper to fill. Drives considerably better and im no longer frustrated on hills and passing other vehicles. Dont get me wrong, out of the light duty pickups, the 3.6 and 8 speed does well but with 35” or bigger tires, the 3.6 starts to complain. Im excited for future videos and im excited for the Banks intake and power figures.
Pros: Excellent commuter due to power and MPGs.
Cons: Not as good off-road as gasser due to extra 400lbs up front and turbo lag/ surge.
Diminished towing capacity.
Subscribed, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸
Definitely interested in a breakdown on cost for anyone in the process or thinking of getting a JT diesel
Ok I’ll make that my next video.
@@MaxOverland Yes please, thanks for sharing all this info in your videos.
Drove both the gas and diesel. I like the diesel for the torque. It definitely get's up to speed a lot faster from a stop. I wasn't impressed by the $240 oil changes my local dealer quoted me though.
I regret not getting a diesel honestly. I love my mojave though.
Jeep did a nice job with that model! I would’ve ordered that model if they put a diesel in it.
Not too late to trade in these days trade value is so high for used truck that you probably won’t lose much if any $
I regret not getting a mojave lol.
Unless you are a commuter you're better off.
I can't come up with any Cons. I'm really liking mine.
Ordered my JTRD end of October and should be here around Christmas. Super pumped for all that torque coming from the Pentastar 3.6.
Bam!! Your going to love it!
@@MaxOverland I almost bought one in 2020 before the diesel was a thing. So happy I waited! Dream truck coming soon!
shouldnt be too bad in the cold. alot of modern diesels either have block warmers you can plug in during the night, and plus the glow plugs are much more advanced nowadays. use #1 diesel during these times to help prevent gelling.
i agree with you on the DEF tho. it will freeze and sucks!
I've overlanded in -3F and never had any issues with either the DEF or cold starting.
In debate between the diesel or gas - have You noticed any savings one way or another when comparing the cost of fuel and service expenses?
I’ve heard the diesel services are more expensive and with the price of diesel almost double that of gas right now does the better mileage offset the cost for you?
Just got a 2022 diesel last month on the 18th. Had it one day put 200 miles on it and a check engine light , been in the shop since. said they need to replace a fuel injector and ETA on that is 29th of next month LOL that’s jeep for you
Yep! Actually one of the reasons I sold mine!
Great video and lots of good information. I have a 2021 JLU Diesel, the only issue I had was at 18,000 miles my turbo went out and I kept getting the error msg "Electricon Throat Control Failure, also the Jeep would die at 65 mph. Thank god I bought the extended warranty, the dealership had my Jeep for 6 weeks fixing it. They had to remove the body from the frame to replace the turbo. Talk about a shitty design. Other than that, I've had zero issues.
If I could nitpick about one single little thing it would be the turbo lag. With no tuner the get up and go hole shot is a bit slow due to the turbo lag.
I have the 21 Rubicon with Ecodiesel, AFE cold air and tune, pedal commander on 37s - it’s a torque monster - so much fun to drive - JUST LIKE YOU SAID… then the DEF problems occur over and over.😢😢
I think the channel you thinking of is called "Down to Mob" he's got sweet rig!
I'm a 4RUNNER guy- I have a 2021 jeep wrangler unlimited
Very happy with it- the gas engine is competent
I've always liked the idea of a diesel- a gladiator Mojave diesel would be a dream- I'm just a bit concerned about the politics of diesel fuel nowadays 🤯
I'm getting one soon it's a 2021 Jeep gladiator Rubicon and it has 40 inch tires and I'm going to drop it down to 20 inch tires because I dont like 40 inch
Just bought a 22 diesel Rubicon JT. Totally awesome for what it is going to be, for me. At half the price of my LJ, I’ve got a great work truck that can also make a great camping rig, as well as trailer the LJ to the trail.
Your LJ is twice as much as a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon diesel? 🤔
@@XploreAz Not exactly, but it will sit just below that when I get it finished up. I guess in its current state, I should more accurately claim the parts currently on the LJ bring its total cost over the $63k I have into my gladiator diesel rubicon. The $40k tracer setup, once installed will get me to almost double.
Would you get a diesel now today that Jeep has discontinued it? I wonder about parts for it down the road, but there is still new stock out there from 2023 models, so am considering it. Thanks for the video.
I have a JLURD and I would buy it again tomorrow if they had a new one on the lot. I’m going to keep it forever since they discontinued the engine choice but I love everything about it.
The torque is REAL. 2 weeks ago I pulled 8 trucks with boat attached up out of the bay (boat launch) that were stuck in the snow and could pull out. I put it is 4L,, enabled both lockers and literally took my foot off the brake and pulled them out at idle. I didn’t touch the accelerator pedal except for a 30ft pilot house boat attached to a dually Cummins Ram. I needed some juice for that one.
id truss the stock front axle on the ecodiesel
cause from what ive seen these new axles are pretty damn strong from personal experience,cause my buddy has a 2019(technically 2018 but the years are weird) jeep jl and he runs 39'' Bfg Km3's on his rig and i know that man sends his rig pretty hard same with my other buddy on his diesel JTRD and he runs 40'' trail graps and he beats his rig pretty hard and always bumps up mild or big steps pretty damn hard but the only thing he's broken is just a rear axle shaft wich were stock but i know he does run 4.88's rcvs on the front artec truss on the front,but not on the rear yet and yukon rear axle shafts and thats all i really remember since i helped install those parts for him
\but yeah i feel confident that if you truss the front axle run some chromoly rear axle shafts it should be fine for a long time,cause my buddies really use their rigs to the max and they feel confident that their axles should hold up,same with me i feel confident that my axles should hold with the proper upgrades im gonna get once i rack up enough coin :D
I appreciate the info!! Definitely a strong possibility. I know how to weld and have a welder. The trusses are not very expensive.
I pretty much agree with this comment for trails and rock crawling. (It’s what I did after all)
But for high speed? Nah. I see the logic behind just upgrading and not having to worry.
@@2wheeltinker yeah forgot to mention that,but it your gonna be hitting gnarly jumps bottoming out going 60+mph..... Yeah I'd for sure upgrade to one tons,but if your doing whoops and small drifts I don't see a problem in my opinion,with proper upgrades of course
So are they the Danna 44s or?
@@jermur8053 yes the new 3rd gen Dana 44's the210 and the m220 axles on the new rubicon jeeps,weather it's the jl' or jt's
Does you hat say Re/Max as in the Re/Max Real Estate?
I LOVE my diesel...
I have a derringer, ready to go in it.. (Pedal Monster and SuperGauge already installed)
Now if only I could find time/someone to help me that has a garage.. LOL.
Don’t hesitate! Yes yes you can come over LOL 😂
@@MaxOverland if it wasn't a hike to get there... I'd probably show up today. Lol
Great video and very informative!
Please tell us about your buying experience.
I’m looking at a 2021 diesel Gladiator Rubicon & I’m wanting to put the Dana 60/70 axles from my 3/4 ton dodge & put the Gladiator axles under my diesel Liberty. What gearing would you recommend for 40” tires on the Gladiator ? Loved this video & will wait for more !
What bumper is that? Thanks for the video.
Took the foam and plastic banana out of the intake of my cummins and the sound and the off idle response was obvious.
I looked and they made everything integrated on the gladiator. So hoping somone comes out with an intake soon!
Have you had any issues with the fuel pump I have a 21 and the pump has gone out 2 times it finally has the updated one
Are you from Michigan? I am from TC. Began researching diesel Jeep Gladiator. Wish Crysler release a diesel Gladiator with a manual transmission. Is that too much to ask?
Yes I am! Just north of Grand Rapids in Cedar Springs. A manual jeep diesel would definitely be fun to drive!
How do you like the Trailrax? Can you see out of your rear view mirror? Thinking about getting that rack.
I have Diesel Rubicon Gladiator with 42's on it. I've done the banks tuner and the Pedal Monster from Banks helps a lot. I'm planning water methanol system, Banks air intake and exaust and after warranty removing the... any thoughts on water methanol or exaust?
Did you ever go with the water-methanol system??? Which one? How do you like it? I was looking at a snowperformance system, but never pulled the trigger, as I don't know anyone who is running water methanol on the ecodiesel. Any info would be appreciated.
The one thing I'll never understand and the reason I didn't get a diesel is loss of towing capacity. What?
Loss of towing capacity, eh. It’s more capable of towing in my opinion. Heavier motor is the excuse but torque changes everything.
@@iammikemunn while I agree, jeep disagrees. The towing is lower by 1k on the diesel. I suspect it's a weak turbo. Uphill turbo full spool for 2 minutes. Probably can't handles it.
I wasn’t disagreeing, I know what the specs are. My point is that the diesel has better torque so it will tow 6500lbs better than the gas engine. The diesel doesn’t spool up the way that the gas engine does. It stays at a lower RPM and the torque pulls the weight better. I get that the gas is 7650, and it might pull it, but it doesn’t pull pretty. Besides, as we all know, nobody pulls at their spec. Not saying that I do, but there are tons of people who do.
Turbos. The diesel can't keep cool enough apparently.
payload cons?
I thought you were going to show us the pros and cons not sit in the Gladiator talking about it.
I love how you complain about free content.. Dude took the time to make a video about his new Diesel Glad and was very informative. The title of the video makes no mention of “showing” you anything. Complaining about something completely free you had to make a proactive decision to click on is amazing.
I think you meant " Down to MOB "
Yesss! Sorry I couldn’t remember at the time….
Just rip out the axles...and send them to me... LOL. (I'd just change gears & truss.... since I have no lockers...and those would.)
What axles did it come with?
It’s has the Dana 44’s front and rear with factory lockers.
have you had a issue of using the tazer with the banks derringer? banks says they interfere with each other and causes the bank to go to safe mode. I have a tazer and pedal monster but hadn't done the derringer because of possible issues.
Mine runs fine with pedal monster, derringer and tazer, almost 29k miles no interference
@@edgarortega8491i just got mine 16k currently i want to put 37/12.5 would is that good reliable set up for daily small commute?
does this tuner effect factory warranty?
Not 100% sure. I have been told it is not traceable if you pull it out tho.
@@MaxOverland are you worried about it affecting the engine in the long run?
@@brodericktucker5356 Me personally no im not. Factories like to detune engines. The DPF and DEF system is actually bad for diesel engines. Deleting them will make the engine last longer. Unfortunately the tree huggers still think its killing our world. So hence why we have to have all the bs on our trucks.
@@MaxOverland I completely agree LOL. I’m debating on getting the tuner. Just don’t want to void the warranty lol
hows the overheating?
What overheating. I’ve never had issues with that.
That’s a wildly overblown internet rumor
@@smarterthanyou2674 no it isnt, if you tow up steep hills when it is super hot out they overheat, personally not with mine but i have seen it happen in person
@@wyattbarnes5536 I pull a 6000lb travel trailer back and forth between Prescott az and San Diego all the time. That’s 3 serious mountain passes and I don’t need to tell you how hot AZ summers are. I’m also on. 39s. Zero overheating. I do turn on the heat on low for those, because I’m not an idiot
You talk too much dude. Just 4wheel!
Lol this was ment to be a talking video. And I do like to talk lol
Talk to much
Kind of the point of this particular video 😅
I am torn between the banks and green diesel tune, suggestions?
I’ve been looking at buying the diesel. Is your jeep the Rubicon model? I thought all Rubicon’s came stock with 4.10 gears. I’ve been looking into getting the Rubicon just because of the gears. I live in Florida and don’t really need the rock crawling features though. Thanks for the videos. Keep it up. 👍
4:10 gas version not diesel
Thanks for the explanation of the small pump noise. I was wondering.
Hesitant to mess with emissions. I live in Komiefornia 😔
Ton of power when it’s rated at 260HP!!! 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Torque! Lots of Torque! Sorry I may have miss spoke!
If you like diesels like me, their aren't any Cons. Maybe towing a bit.
How much power can the transmission handle
Very informative
U have done this video before
I did one for my gas gladiator. This was for the diesel version.
