  I installed a Banks Pedal Monster, Derringer, and iDash gauge on my '22 JTRD. That woke it up. I had mine one year too. I'm loving it.

  Run opti lube fuel additive and Hot Shots  EDT every tank.  Also. Use DEF fluid on your lawn.  It will love you for it

  Buy cetane diesel fuel addative: Diesel fuel combustion depends on the auto-ignition quality of the fuel. Super-Tane improves diesel fuel cetane rating from 4 to 8 points, thus improving fuel quality, combustion and engine efficiency.  Higher cetane diesel fuel makes your diesel truck, car, boat or equipment run more efficiently and more quietly, gives you more power and makes the engines easier to start while cutting down on black smoke emissions and DEF.

  I just bought my gladiator diesel. Your video reflects so close closely how I felt.  I test drove it, and I was expecting the performance to be out of this world but that initial turbo lag made me question my senses.  I’ve decided to get a Banks pedal monster to address that.  I was also concerned about the derating and it’s really comforting to hear that you did didn’t experience that.  I get my 22 Jeep gladiator diesel at the end of June and I can’t wait to feel how it pulls my pontoon boat.

  I have the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Ecodiesel - I run a lift and 37s also... the best thing I did was purchase the PEDAL COMMANDER... no more turbo lag and it runs like a whole new jeep. Hands down best modification...ENJOY!!

  At one year with mine, and almost 30,000 miles. No issues. GD tune, running hot shots additive. I'm only getting 24-25 on the highway, but I have a rubicon with stock tires/rims, stubby front bumper, and half rack with rooftop tent. These engines like to run. They don't do well sitting around waiting for recreational use. They really do best when you run them a lot. Mine is my daily driver unless it's nice out (then I run my motorcycle or electric unicycle).

  Just subscribed, and I'll continue to be locked while patiently waiting for your next video to drop. I like what I'm seeing with your Gladiator build.

  Yea the fuel costs more than gas. But a gas Gladiator on the same trip, same load would be lucky to average  20 mpg, never mind 27! So you take that into consideration, that’s like 33% better.  So if gas is say $3.00 gal, like here in Florida, with diesel at $4.25? Again that’s ? 30% different. So it’s close at the cost per mile. But it’s the relaxed power driving up through the mountain passes with no downshifts, that would be least 2-3 gears on the gas truck. The best a friend gets in his gas Gladiator is 16 city depending upon red lights and traffic 18 if both are very light. , 24 highway at 65. What do you get, remember to add in the altitude.

  There is a really good company that makes a tuner specifically for the diesel ..it makes a big difference. It's expensive of course but from what I've seen and heard it's well worth it.
