I've had Livernois tune on a few of my vehicles and I have always been impressed with the quality, performance and their service.
Once they released the MY21 Gladiator tune I went ahead and flashed it.
I have nothing but positive feedback.
The E-85 tune is sublime. Super smooth.
I have to give props to whatever mad FCA employee pitched it. Clearly it is working.
Board room: "How do we sell more FIATs in North America?"
Mad Lad: "We don't."
Board room: "...... I'm sorry?"
Mad Lad: "We sell more Jeeps instead."
Board room: "That doesn't solve for FIAT..."
Mad Lad...
87 is for marketing.
These engines really should be running 91-93. The compression is too high for 87.
This is dumb. Higher octane gas in these engines will fix the pinging.
I just got 22 mpg on a hour long trip.
A lot of this is down to the driver. I was trying to get good MPGs and was hypermilling.
I typically get 11-17 depending on how I drive.
OP increased drag, which will effect acceleration and mpg.
Even if the wheels and tires are only X amount heavier, the tire is taller, which will reduce aerodynamics and add drag/ turbulence. Same goes for lifting. You are presenting a taller, less aerodynamic shape to the wind.
It will be...
I came here to post this.
OP are you sliding, or sitting on the bolster first?
Think about pressure per square inch. If you "slam" your whole body weight down on the bolster jumping in, that could be say 600 pounds of pressure on just the bolster.
I was doing this and installed steps on my...
Put a cover on the winch, hopefully it doesn't fly off. This bumper doesn't really have enough room for this winch. It is a super tight fit.
Installed a Rock Jock rear carrier spacer. I highly recommend doing this after lifting at least 2".
It will help get your pinion angle back towards...
800% lift in Patriot sales! Outstanding! Promotions all around.

Damn supply chain. Inventory is so sparce, limited incentives, or the opposite, dealer markups.
Mopar does not make a leveling kit.
A leveling kit, generally speaking, means coilovers/ coil spring spacers. Made of plastic, rubber, polyurethane, or metal.
They probably just slap a $75 spacer on the front and charge you $500 for it. Nice little profit. A tech can knock it out in half an...
Livernois Tune with a second PCM to swap in for warranty work.
You'd still have risk of voiding the warranty, since there would be telltale signs like three total key cycles, but this is the best way to accomplish real performance with lower (Not zero) risk.
That's a no from me.
I'd much rather someone spend the money to build a chopped/ shortened Gladiator with Portal Axles.

I'm impressed. I'm trying to think how that is possible. I would think that the angle would be off and it wouldn't fit, especially by the passenger axle mount.
