2024 Jeep Gladiator — delayed engagement into Drive when cold

ColdStartBuilder431Community StarterSep 4, 20262024 Jeep Gladiator MojaveMiami
2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, about 30,000 miles. After sitting overnight, shifting from Park to Drive can take a second or two before the vehicle actually engages. Once warm it behaves normally. Would you start with fluid, adaptation data, mounts or something mechanical?

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is losing coolant with no puddle. Save the big job until that test fails. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.
