392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

Make it ride rougher ?? Always wondered about those things I had some excess 400 horse stuff but was heavier vehicles so not needed in my case

You can back them off for street, or preload them for heavy HP, or adjust them to just clear the springs.
They can make noise if you adjust for traction.
They also want you to remove the front spring bushing and put in their aluminum one to replace the rubber one. I did not do that. I made rings to go over the center sleeve of the rubber bushing as sort of a compromise.

Here's a fun one - at our Tuesday AM hot-rodders coffee, a guy approached me and asked if my Gladiator had the hemi.
I said no, and you can't buy them that way.
He said - yes you can, I got an alert on my phone today saying you can now order the gladiator with a hemi straight from the dealership!
I said - I think not........ and he said it was definitely a real thing, as of now, you can order them.

Yeah, that didn't happen...........
Likely it was from one of those rags that calls themselves journalism which copies and pastes from another site that has copies from another site and it's all misquoted and taken out of context.
I never asked what motel he usually stays in.

I know, but for fun, I do that, like, oh, lets see how much it costs...

Oh weird, the Jeep site doesn't list 26 Gladiators at all yet, wonder why.

Will still be cheaper to buy a WIlly's and have a AMW Hemi swap done.

You haven't heard? They killed the 3.6!

The man has a 96% accuracy rating!

 

[Cwg33]

I’m not quite 96% good, but I tell my wife I have a 78% recollection accuracy on our disagreements.

Something about Coffee events bring out the biggest bullshitters.

Yeah, and that bit aside, that guy is among the biggest. He's an ok, even fun type, but I have to wonder how factual his life event stories are. A couple of his stories of truck driving today were a bit - uh, I'm not so sure that's even possible.........

At least most of them can point to magazines that feature their quests or cars, or trophies on the shelf, or the car itself since we rotate hosting, or their runs on the salt flats and so on - which are verified by others.
