392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

[ShadowsPapa]

Where? I saw no other source talking about those things. Hellcat engines coming back but with higher power, new displacement diesel engine, models like the 'Cuda that nobody had even seen yet coming, expansion of Ram models, a Viper return with a larger engine again... who else has been talking about those things? I honestly want to know because I like to read that news.

You misread his post. He was referring to another comment about the Ram V8 and so on.
And yes, there was scuttle on the easy things he sort of got right long before he announced his stuff. Where he was close, anyone could have predicted it.

YouTube will pay you $2-5k/month if you can get to TK Garage's level of monetization.

If you can make those dumb faces for video thumbnails, you might consider doing it.

Or the price of a cheap hotel room?
Or like Scotty does - stand outside and wave his arms around.

I suspect the V6 will be replaced by the 2.0 Hurricane EVO in the coming years. This will be a nice boost in power no pun intended. Ideally having the 3.0 Hurricane SO or HO as an option would be a game changer.
To me a quick win for Jeep is to offer the 5.7 probably requiring less engineering effort than offering the Hurricane 3.0 SO or HO.
I don't understand why the Hurricane 3.0 is not offered in the WL Grand Cherokee? The 2.0 EVO is going in that platform for MY2026.

Scotty Kilmer? Sometimes I think he gets more views being a crazy old coot than actually knowing anything. I can only take him in short doses lol.

I did find his how to use AC gauges video useful though.

I have a really nice set from the 1970s for "freon" or R12 I haven't used in years - and should sell...... I did a lot of auto AC way back when. It was ok, but I preferred engines and transmissions to HVAC work.

And yes - THAT Scotty!

There's exactly 1 engine option on the menu through the end of production.

I only have a set of gauges (from Hobo Freight) as I was diagnosing a problem with my moms ride. AC would work fine driving, not so much sitting. I checked with gauges and was like well, they are close to within range.

Put a big ass fan in front of the car, noticed the gauges came even closer to where they needed to be.

Noticed electric fans were running, but not particularly fast. Found a burnt out high speed fan relay. Car had plenty fan at low speed to not overheat, but not enough for cold AC at a stop.

Had to splice in an entire new pigtail and relay as the old one at burn terminals and lightly melted connector - that weirdly enough was hidden behind the bumper at fog light level where the other two fan relays were in the main fuse box

I'm pretty sure he's a defense contractor and money is not an issue for him. And honestly, in the middle of last year he was spot-on with a lot of his predictions.

Defense "Intelligence" contractor, money isn't an issue for him. Although, everyone always want more, there's never enough. As an Intelligence guy, I'm pretty confident he knows how to obtain and retain reliable SOURCES.

To lighten the mood and inject some levity into this thread...
Here's some dog luvin and snow wheeling all in one YT short. Y'all taking this Jeep stuff way too seriously...

All of our jeeps have been. That's why we keep coming back

I agree with that. Always have been as far as I know.

We've never had a Jeep engine problem, and we've been buying Jeeps since the Comanche, Cherokee, the ZJ Grand cherokee, my 3 Gladiators, our Wrangler, never a single engine issue - not a tick, nothing.

Of all of those Jeeps through the years - we've had one transmission issue and that was my wife's Wrangler - which has a genuine ZF made in Germany transmission because it's a 4xe. It was a porous casting and they replaced the whole transmission. It leaked, was otherwise fine.
There's been little small odds and ends, nothing that would leave you stuck or stranded.
