Yeah It's going to be around July before I can do anything if I do. So I have time to think. Like I don't have enough time on my hands now to think [emoji848]

Yep. All of that shit has been on trucks since 08. And it's the main reason for 75% of the trucks you see broke down on the side of the road. It costs around $1200 to get the DPF filter cleaned out and a new one costs between $4000 and $5000

I dropped 3k into the emissions system on my truck last week. Cleaning filters and replacing a sensor.

You have first hand experience with 75% of the trucks on the road?

That’s a bummer. What kind of truck?

It's the emission systems that are on diesel engines. It doesn't matter what engine the emissions systems are the problem. And that's what most of them go to the shop for

Most of them actually use the exact same system just different parameters.

This. Exactly. Even if you straight trade for a new one you will pay more in DMV fees than that.

This is at a truck stop here in Oklahoma right now. Premium gas is usually about $.25 higher than regular

Another thing to think about....that 2.0 turbo is tits fun to drive. You willing to give that up? Everytime I drive the JL, I become Mario Andretti in my own twisted reality.

Yeah. I have plenty of time to decide on what I'm going to do. It won't be until around July or August before I trade if I do

I don't necessarily disagree, however my current ram is my first DPF truck and it sitting doesn't seem to bother it, more the short hopping and not getting it out on a highway run so it can regen
thats crazy, were still about equal to regular here, but prices are on the move
seems these comparisons are not quite apples to apples, while the process may be basically the same, I'm certain there are some stark differences between full size truck engines and the eco diesel. put simply the def tank cycle on my ram is 2500 miles, the gladiator is 10k i believe, give or take on both. this tells me that the eco diesel actually burns cleaner which likely puts less stress on the DPF/egr system as it can go 4x longer in terms of its "cleaning" of the exhaust. This is obviously very simple thinking and I may be wrong, but im certainly still considering a diesel Gladiator, but ideally someone will buy one and ill hear about how awesome it is before i go that route lol

Yeah I'm never home. I drive my other Wayalife vehicle more than the jeep. Hell the warranty is going to be gone with the year mark then by the milage
