I have looked into doing a supercharger. However, from my research you’re looking at 10k including install, which is far more expensive than a re-gear. I can do gears for $2400. yes, I’m aware that I can switch to manual mode and choose whatever gear that I want. However, I bought an automatic...

I’m with you on this. I’d much rather be cruising at an RPM that will hold overdrive other than the trans constantly down shifting to make up for not enough HP/TQ and that is exactly what the JT does. I still have the factory tires and 3.73’s and it constantly shifts back and forth through 6th...

This is not true. Heavy D has this exact setup and his motor isn’t screaming down the road. And he has stated that his mileage has actually improved. I know a few above have stated that 8th isn’t really supposed to be used etc.. However, by re-gearing with lower gears, it will make 8th a lot...

Thank you for clarifying the chart. Please understand that I wasn’t trying to provide false info. I only posted it hoping someone would be familiar with it because I wasn’t sure what platform it was for or where the calculations came from.

I’ve been going by this chart I found online. You have 4.56’s with a 33 inch tire and you’re running 2150 RPMs at 70mph. According to this chart, you should be running at 2698 RPM, unless this chart is calculating everything for 7th gear and not 8th because it is considered “overdrive”...

Now that’s what I’m talking about! Big thanks!!! Of course I’m running the slightly shorter tire, so I’ll be running a little bit higher, but that’s not bad at all.

I can definitely see why the MPG‘s are improving now because your motor is no longer having to lug. That’s great!

I was just curious if it ever shifted into 8th while towing. I do understand your point though.

See Case in point, you fall into the group that is perfectly happy with the 3.73 set up and I think that’s great. However, if you could magically flip a switch and have a 4.56 gear, I don’t think you would ever switch back to 3.73.

I appreciate the input. However, I just bought this truck and I do not plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. I thought about the diesel but I make very short trips to and from work and around town and that can be bad on a diesel motor. I would’ve really enjoyed that low end grunt though...

Hey, thanks for the reply. Looking forward to your update. ? Mine constantly goes back and forth between 7th and 8th on the highway and it drives me nuts. I know a gear swap would definitely fix this issue. The 4.30 could be an option for me too since I plan to keep the 32” tire. I just want...

I get your point. I can honestly say that I will not be doing any rock crawling. I do mostly in town driving with some occasional highway when I go see my folks that live about 40 minutes away. This topic does seem to be very subjective. There are many out there that are perfectly happy with...

Why would you not recommend it though? I think all JT’s should’ve come come with at least 4.10 gears. This 3.6 L does not put out a whole lot of torque down low and swapping for a lower gear set will definitely help in that aspect. However, because of the expense, I think swapping from a 3.73...

I would really like to get some feedback from you regarding the 4.56 gear swap. I have 3.73’s in mine and I’m having the same issues you were. I’d really like to re-gear so I can have some better power down low. This is my daily and I plan on staying with a 32” tire but will probably jump...

Hi Dave, I appreciate the input. Thank you for sharing the info regarding the splash guards. I can see where the dual kit would cause issues there. I understand that I’m dealing with a V6 and it will never have that V8 sound. However, I’d like to make this V6 sound as good as it can and I...

Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. You are definitely right about sound preference being super subjective. Everybody has their own taste or expectations. However, the video you posted does sound a bit different than my single exit trail edition. I called AWE and the rep...

Hey everybody, This is my first post. I’m brand new to the Jeep community. Just bought my first jeep which is a 2023 gladiator. Loving it so far. I wanted a little bit more noise out of the exhaust so I purchased the AWE trail edition. I have to say that I’m not 100% satisfied but it...
