I already have 10,000 miles on my 2022 Jeep Gladiator ecoDiesel. Loving it a lot. The sound and the power is so good. Im running 37's and it has no issues pooling itself. Still waiting on the fuel pump to be replaced.
Thats awesome to hear! Its such a nice powertrain upgrade from the gas. Very happy with the diesel engine, now we just have to see how long ours last haha Call Jeep Wave and have them move you up in line for the fuel pump, worked for me.
My 2021 Wrangler Sport Unlimited EcoDiesel now has 57,000 miles on it. I did get my new fuel pump at the end of 2023 and was glad nothing went wrong with it when I had almost 50,000 on it. I have found not much need for upgrades except for a 2 1/2 inch lift and 33 inch tires instead of the 31 inch tires that came with it. I have plenty of ground clearance and can go almost anywhere I want to go. I have had only 1 issue with it and that was caused by me. I tried to flush a wood rat out from under the hood with a power wash. Don't do that. 17 codes ended up appearing and it took 2 weeks to dry out and run properly. I love the sound of the diesel engine. The low end torque is fantastic. I can crawl up steep hills at just over an idle without wheel spin. If I had one wish it would be front lockers. My limited slip rear diff works very well but an open diff in the front leaves me a little short but probably keeps me out of trouble. Oh and I would also wish for a easy sway bar disconnect, too. So, for all the nay sayers about the reliability of the EcoDiesel I say it ain't failed me yet. My Wrangler keeps on going.
Wow that is a great warning about washing under the hood! I'll make sure to take care if I ever do that. Oddly enough, I did find an animal nest under there recently too. The diesel sure does sound nice thought! Full lockers will be down the road for me, I already have the ARB dual air compressor installed so I'll run air lockers front and rear at some point. Thanks for watching!
Awesome call on the diesel Gladiator, fantastic platform. BUT OREGON?? Why in the world would you go from a liberal-run disaster state to a WORSE liberal-run disaster state? Utah or Idaho are way, way, way way better. And you're close enough to visit Oregon if you need to see people there.
Bro I got a 2024 jeep gladiator rubicon x that has less than 300 miles on it yet to be driven. And I tell you what I already love it except it is so hard to find seat covers and pet protection for it right now ugh
Thats awesome to hear! You're going to love it. Orvis has some great pet protection that fits a variety of vehicles if you want to check their stuff out.
@@LifeOutdoors I think the key is regular maintenance. I do my own oil, change transmission service, fuel filter replacement and a few other things. Yeah I pay a little bit more cause I do it more often. It’s better for turbo for sure.
I mean I touched on all aspects of the Jeep, I've just made changes to a lot of the vehicle. I still talked about the stock engine, axels, and a few other things.
Love my 2023 Eco diesel. Make sure and run a fuel additive that lubricates the fuel pump or you’ll be killing it again. Redline 85+, arch oil makes one hot shots, EDt , power service. These are the best ones I’ve found.
Honestly it's not too big of a deal to me. I cant say I love it but it does start to act as a nice little rain cover when cooking on the tailgate below it. Overall I wish it wasn't there but it's only a slight inconvenience!
Great review, I’ve been thinking about starting to look for an eco diesel gladiator, this was really comprehensive! For the tires and mpg, are those 35s? And what would you say is the range for a full tank? Also do you think you’d do an interior review, have you made any mods to the interior yet besides wiring or switch panels?
Appreciate that! They are 35's (35x12.5R17) and the fuel range depending on the type of driving I'm doing is right around 400 miles. As for the interior, I havent done much at all because I came from a wrangler JK and the JT felt like such a big interior upgrade that it really hasnt been necessary to change. I can do a walk through of my storage spaces and what I'm using them for at some point down the road. Thanks for watching!
@gregmoessner3104 it seems like they are actually catching up to orders now! But if it take a while to get yours, call Jeep Wave and tell them and they’ll move you up in line lol
Nothing to note there really, still riding the same as the day I put the leveling kit on it! I didnt notice much of a ride hight difference with the bed rack and rooftop tent but if anything it flattened out whatever little remained of the factory rake.
Always happy to hear that! I called Jeep wave directly and then magically became 2nd in line for a fuel pump at my local dealer… might be worth a shot. Thanks for watching!
My 2022 Ecodiesel Rubicon is at 62k miles. I also average 22mpg. No problems with it so far. Just one minor thing: my DEF gauge for some reason only goes up to 75% even when the DEF tank is full.
What tires are you running? I have stock Rubi wheels and I get 25 mpg when I drive poorly. 28 when I behave. I have new fuel pump and Green Diesel Engineering tune.

Utah or Idaho are way, way, way way better. And you're close enough to visit Oregon if you need to see people there.
hahaha hey man I hear ya but its just too dang beautiful out here and Portland doesn't run the whole state 😂
Great review, awesome upgrades, what's the best mileage you've gotten? I have gotten up to 35 MPG on my EcoDiesel Ram.
Thank you! Best ive gotten was 31ish before I switched to my 35" tires. Now the best I can do with those if I'm driving nice is 24/25ish at 65mph

Appreciate the video….been anxiously awaiting the 50k review as I am at 45k!
Awesome! We’re pretty much same pace on our mileage. Thinks still going well with your gladiator?
My Overland is at 42,500!! noooo issues.
@Coyote5555 love to hear it!
@@LifeOutdoors I think the key is regular maintenance. I do my own oil, change transmission service, fuel filter replacement and a few other things. Yeah I pay a little bit more cause I do it more often. It’s better for turbo for sure.
@@Coyote5555 I think thats the way to do it! I'm about to do my diff's, should be fun!
This whole video is just about the products you’ve installed and hardly at all about the jeep itself. Should be titled gladiator mods review
I mean I touched on all aspects of the Jeep, I've just made changes to a lot of the vehicle. I still talked about the stock engine, axels, and a few other things.
I just bought a new 2023 Willy wish me luck 🍀
Heck yeah! best of luck with the new ride!

Pro-tip, I appreciate the insight and will look into it!
How does that tent overhanging past the tailgate bother you or not bother you? I may end up the same way 🤔I have the mid-height Hooke road bed rack
Honestly it's not too big of a deal to me. I cant say I love it but it does start to act as a nice little rain cover when cooking on the tailgate below it. Overall I wish it wasn't there but it's only a slight inconvenience!
Do u still live near Hudson I have a good place to fish with a lot of bass
I dont anymore, I actually live on the coast of Oregon now! But I appreciate your offer!

Are you guys also waiting for the fuel pump recall? I've been waiting like 6 months.
Make sure you call Jeep Wave and let them know youve been waiting a long time. They will get your truck on the fast track parts list!
So I’m picking up my eco diesel soon , may 2024 this pump issue still going on?
@gregmoessner3104 it seems like they are actually catching up to orders now! But if it take a while to get yours, call Jeep Wave and tell them and they’ll move you up in line lol
@@LifeOutdoors they finally contacted me. Taking my Gladiator to the dealership tomorrow.
@djp1234 heck yeah, glad to hear it!
I def enjoy the reviews on your EcoD. My Overland is at 42,500 miles and doing great.
Always happy to hear about other happy Gladiator Diesel owners! Thanks for watching!
50K already??? I just hit 52 on my Tacoma!
Time flies when you're cruising around everywhere!!
Any front shock and spring updates?

Time for a new one
Don’t say that 😂
Great review. I have a 2021 diesel bought new Oct 2020. Have 40,000 miles on it with no problems. Still waiting on my fuel pump. I like your wheels.
Always happy to hear that! I called Jeep wave directly and then magically became 2nd in line for a fuel pump at my local dealer… might be worth a shot. Thanks for watching!
Still waiting on my fuel pump... then I'm gonna get creative with some "unnecessary" equipment...😈
Love to hear it hahah I called Jeep wave directly and they got me fast tracked to the new part
@@LifeOutdoorsAwesome!
Pro advice!

What tires are you running? I have stock Rubi wheels and I get 25 mpg when I drive poorly. 28 when I behave. I have new fuel pump and Green Diesel Engineering tune.
@@chrisbaeppler3873 stock rubicon AT tires. I don’t have any tune. It’s illegal in CA. I could probably get the same mpg with a tune.
Sounds like we are in the same boat for the most part! But that is quite an odd issue with the def fluid meter... wonder if you could warranty that?
Are the stock Rubi wheels 33's for the gladiators? That would explain the additional few MPG's on your truck.
@@LifeOutdoors I think they're 33s. The extra MPGs are coming from the tune.
I’m waiting to see you come back for that fuel pump recall
Ill have to make a short video or something like that with the Fuel Pump update if it actually happens!
