Finally pulled the trigger on a regear. (37s / 5.38)

It was time to give the gladiator some help with a regear. After mullining over the old 4.88vs5.13vs5.38 thing I landed on Revolution 5.38s for a few a few reasons....

  1. Im in new england and the trips north from the seacoast are riddled with punchy and sustained climbs.

  2. I run with roughly 500lbs of added weight plus multiple passengers regularly. RTT, Rack misc gear etc....

  3. I dont beat the hell out of the rig on the trail. The minor reduction in pinion resilience due to increased surface load concentration is something im not concerned with.

  4. There's plenty of curiosity around this so ill bite the bullet.

  5. And as far as the mfg goes...Revolution seems to have a good reputation so I went with them.

Also tossed in chromo shafts, revolution rear wheel bearings while we were in there and a bunch of armor.

130k miles and all original bearings and ball joints are still good. Even the rear bearings we pulled. Ive been running 37s for 100k. Not too shabby.

Nearing the end of the 500 mile break in and can say this was worth every g spent.

Ill share more after the post break in inspection....

Additional valuable info:

  • Im running a custom Livernois 93 Tune and canned performance transmission tune. Evidently tall gearing throws the stock zf8 into mass confusion as it wants to race to the highest gear for efficiency. My shop said they've never had a rig perform so smoothly after a regear like this and will be recommending this as part of their procedure..

2026 Gladiator Rubicon: How do you turn off the radio but keep Android Auto navigation running?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a setting I'm missing or if this is just how the Uconnect system works.

Here's my situation:

I'm listening to the radio while Android Auto is connected and an active navigati route using Google Maps on the screen. When I'm done listening to the radio, I'd like to turn the radio off but keep Google Maps displayed and continue hearing navigation instructions and alerts.

The problem is that pressing the physical volume/power knob turns off the screen. Turning the volume all the way down or pressing mute silences the navigation instructions and alerts along with the radio.

Is there a way to stop the radio from playing without turning off the Uconnect system or muting all audio? Ideally, I'd like to keep Android Auto and Google Maps running, with navigation voice prompts and alerts still audible, but have no radio playing in the background.

Is there a setting I need to change, or is there another way to do this? I'd like to hear how others handle this.

Note: I have not changed any settings, it is still set to whatever the dealership had it set to.

Are jeep gladiators slow?

I’ve owned mine for a few weeks and at first I thought Mabye it being new to me I was babying it. But the more I get on it the more I think it’s just slow. I also live in the mountains so I get I take off up hill any direction I go. Just wondering if I could have a trans issue or just slow. The gearing seems to only like to shift at 4rpm but screaming at that point. I went from 1500 v8 Chevy to a 2026 Mojave. I had people at work trade them shortly after buying for the lack of power.

gladiator to ram... now considering going back to a gladiator because i hate dd-ing a full size truck

i had a 2020 gobi rubicon that i loved. I already was thinking a lot about a full size truck for towing a small camper (<4,000 lbs) and hockey carpools. The gladiator was getting small and loud. I got a 2023 ram 1500 hemi etorque that currently has 63,000 miles on it. Its big inside, its comfortable, its nice... but I hate DDing it. parking sucks, it takes up alot of space in the driveway, and most improtantly to me, i dont park it walk away and look back and love it. Its just a truck. dumb and emotional, yes. i've owened it for two years and this feeling is still the same.

i thought i needed more space and I thought the ram would make a bigger difference when towing. It did not. Was it better, sure. But i expected to not notice the camper. Each summer, I typically make 4 trips that are anywhere from 1-2 hrs away and one longer 5ish hour trip. I don't plan on taking a long cross country trip in the camper. the gladiator was fine for all of those distances.

My gladiator at 89,000 miles got all of the error codes that suggested the penta tick. the local jeep ram dealer had the used ram i wanted at a good price, they gave me a trade in value on my rubicon as if there were not engine codes... i traded in my jeep and for the past two years i have never parked my ram and looked back and think how bad ass of a ride it is.

My oldest son just got his license. i don't need to drive him anymore, and he can drive his brother a bunch, so the hockey carpool isn't much of an issue anymore.

over the summer i picked up a 2015 jku for him and then to be passed down to my yonger son who is 14. it can easily hold multiple hockey bags... and scratched the jeep itch. I drove that for a couple of weeks to make sure it was dialed in. I loved driving that and could have easily driven that everyday, but i do need something to tow 4 or 5 weeks a year.

like everyone else here, i have almost always driven jeeps. i had a 2013 jku, 2010 jku, 97 tj, 84 cj. I drove a tacoma for 6 years before the gladiator

i miss driving a jeep. i havn't offroaded in forever and don't really plan to. i would like to overland, but we camp with the travel trailer. none of my friends are interested in overlanding, thier campers are full of every amenity possible.

I can find used rubicons with less than 70k miles within an hour drive for $27-$28k asking price. two are at a ram dealer that have been on the lot for two months.

There is a sweet Mojave in sarge green, but if they only two 6,000 lbs and the rubicon tows 7,000... then I should stick with a rubi or a max tow sport s, right?

Anyone go back to a gladiator and regret it? Are there any other mid size trucks i should be considering? I would say 30k is the max for my budget.

Lift Drivability Help

I have a 20 Jeep Gladiator Sport S, with a 3.5 inch lift installed around 7 months ago and it drives terrible. Mostly just hard to keep it going straight at highway speed but it wanders even at low speeds and I always have to do constant correction to it.

-Teraflex 3.5 inch Base Spring Kit
-Teraflex Alpine Lower Adjustable Arms
-Falcon 3.3 Shocks (Have to use setting 3 only or handling is way worse.)
-RockJock Currectlync Heavy Duty Steering System
-Metal Cloak Front Track Bar
-Fox Steering Stabilizer
Currently on 35x12.5x17 Toyo MT (run between 28-32 psi)

The shop set my castor back to 6 degrees, and toe between the 1/16 to 1/8, when lift was installed.

Do I need other supporting mods to fix anything to make it drive better? I was think getting the Teraflex Drop brackets would help?

I’m thinking about taking the lift off and going back to stock because the handling is terrible.

Best vehicle I've owned

It took me about a year of going through the pros and cons of buying a jeep gladiator over a Tacoma. Watched review videos, suspension comparisons, all that stuff. What it ultimately boiled down to is that I could take the tops off... It's the best vehicle I've ever owned, it's an absolute beast in the Saskatchewan winters (if you been here, you would know that 2 feet of snow dumps is a regular thing) and it's convenient and nice to help a friend move. I've been fortunate to not have any problems in the 5 years of owning this vehicle. If you read the manual and use the off road systems properly and know you can't just slam it into 4H. Yiur Gunna have a reliable vehicle.

Just doing Jeep things

Bought my 23 Mojave back in May to use mainly as a hunting vehicle. Have been enjoying it for that. Put about 7k miles on it since I got it. Took it from PA to CO last month and put it in some gnarly places and it did was it was ment to do. Had 15k on it when I got it. Love the Jeep but the engine has given me fits, been in the shop 2 times for knocks and misfires. Had the cam phaser replaced twice since I got it. Seems ok for now. Stock set up other than the cap and DIY rear seat delete.
