  1. I am not done!

    Guys I am not done! I am still here and still working diligently. I am a bit miffed with Jeep engineering, but whatever, will make it roll! I have been helping guys albeit a little slower as I have a couple irons in the fire, but I do my best not to let anything go longer than 2 days. "Don't...
  2. Thoughts of throwing in the towel

    Well guys I figured I could vent here. If it is not appreciated I apologize. I have have put out a fair number of tunes, and as this deal ages I am getting closer and closer to 60/40 split of Jeeps that need work after the fact. Thanks Jeep for your 300+ iterations of OS and great quality...
  3. WARNING: Engine Damaged Running DAVECS1 Standard Pulley Supercharger Tune

    Moderators if you could make this a Sticky I would appreciate it. To all I have had a customer running an iteration of my tune on his 2021 Gladiator with a Magnuson supercharger running the standard pulley. The customer was running premium fuel and had all the correct installation steps. The...

  5. Using my truck today!!!

    My other toy is going in for a makeover, today I have a Jeep truck.
  6. Giving the 4xe conversion some serious thought

    Everytime I drive my wife's 4xe, I am so impressed with that power plant. Nothing is stressed, it runs on 89 octane. It is smooth as silk, it has so much torque it pops into 8th and stays there. Oh and it is dead quiet. The get up and go is downright impressive. Found a couple of these. I could...
  7. Leather Dash Panels (anybody?)

    I made a dumb ass mistake and I need to change out my dash panel. I am thinking I would like the leather stitched ones, but everywhere I order, they are on indefinite back order. Anyone have any leads
  8. Question for DAVECS1 Tune User's

    I have been working on a dead stop tip in that is less temperamental. It utilizes cam timing to make it work. What I have found though, is, currently it requires high octane fuel to work with low level boost. So the questions is: 1. Would you prefer the tune be 89 octane tolerant 2. Or would...
  9. Spring Break in the Smoky Mountains (hoping all ends well)

    At the beginning of the year the family and I were talking we would like to do something a bit different for spring break as we usually pack up the RV, UTV, and ATVs and go exploring. Well this year we decided we would hit the Smoky Mountains and do some light jeeping, and sight seeing. We got...
  10. Windshield door seals. 2021 has them.

    So the 2021 has these new door seals. If Jeep engineers thought it would help, figured I would try it. Went and bought some auto store special door seal material and recreated a similar seal. So far seems to be a definite improvement.
  11. Went from 20s 12.5s to 17s 10.5s. added like 50 HP and caddy ride.

    When I first bought my Gladiator I got a great deal on on some 20" fuel Rampage wheels. I went with 35x12.5x20 ridge grapplers. I think it gave the truck some pop in appearance, but it looked a bit bro dozer to me. I love the military look, so I was really curious when Kenda came out with the...
  12. Octane tuning!

    So I am watching the ginger and his tuning, with the Ripp. I am here to say. I have a 10 to 12 psi boost tune compatible with 89 octane. Magnuson with a DAVECS1tune will give you the power and reliability to go off grid.
  13. DAVECS1 Tunning Lower Octane Testing!!!

    So I don't know if you all are having the same good time at the gas pump I am having, but premium around here is about $5.30 a gallon. I know I have tuned for 87, and I have put all the safety I know of in to the tune, but for me it was hard to put in fuel I knew was not going to make it run its...
  14. Another Twist for the 2021 Jeeps (Sorry Everyone)!!!!

    Sorry all to have to make yet another post. I was having a number of people start to come back to me with drivability issues, especially off idle. These were not annoyances, they were significant control issues. I have been working with the 2021 operating systems for a while and have a number of...
  15. The good and the bad of a roots supercharger.

    Well Tuesday as I was taking the kid to school. I got lifter rattle everytime the truck went past 3000 RPM. I changed the oil yesterday and the varialbe lift solenoid on bank 1 today as that is where I was registering misfires on 1,3, and 5. No dice. Tried giving it an Italian tune up, and my...
  16. Death Wobble 4xe 10k on the clock

    So my wife called me from the side of the road. She was on herway to my daughter's orthodontist appointment and she said the jeep started violently shaking and she thought she had a flat. She was super cool and knew exactly the conditions, she was doing about 60 and hit a bump with the driver's...
  17. IMPORTANT NOTE: Late 21 and 22 Gladiators have no tuning support!

    If you are thinking about a tune or forced induction, you need to check your ECM first. The one in the right of the picture, currently HAS NO TUNING SUPPORT. The change is seen on late 21 models and not communicated or well documented. The dealer parts system does not even show this change has...
  18. DAVECS1 TUNES Now Officially offering Supercharger Tune Support!!!

    To All, I have decided to now start offering pre-built tunes, ready to flash. A little background: I did not start tuning my Gladiator with the intention of having a business or making money, I have a day job, and a beautiful family, they come first. The Gladiator is my daily driver and hot...
  19. LOD Destroyer Stinger: BEEF!

    My original plan was to keep the Max Tow from bumper, as it seems everyone has an aftermarket bumper. My truck is my daily driver and work horse, so I really did not want to add to much additional weight. When, even casually looking at bumpers, shorties where nowhere on my radar. I can't find...
