Exhibit A. All dressed up, and nowhere to go.

I can confirm this to be true. Guess I’ll start my “never buying another Jeep” thread. ?

So...just to give everyone a heads up, if you have a late '21 model or newer Gladiator, the ECM is a newer model that HP Tuners does not currently support. So...maybe hold off on ordering that Maggie until you know you can load the tune to make it driveable.

The installation manual breaks it down to almost a “color by numbers” level. I needed to purchase a couple of tools I didn’t have. You don’t need to be a mechanical expert to install it. You just need the ability to follow directions and time. ETA: Any stumbling block you come across can be...

It’s a Christmas miracle. My ECM just showed up.

It comes with new injectors made by Bosch.

Just heard from HP tuners on the ECM unlock. They got it last Friday. Looks like they are short staffed from COVID, and they said it should ship back to me by middle of next week. Hopefully.

And….the mechanical part is done. Just waiting on the ECM to get back.

Up to this point, the most mechanical thing I have done to a vehicle is change out an AC compressor or change the brakes. The instructions are very straight forward. I’ve been going slow for a couple of reasons. First, out of an abundance of caution. I want to make sure I do it right. Every...

Got to the part where I put the pulleys and belt on, and then my kids asked me to make ravioli, and that takes longer than installing a supercharger. Oh well, I don’t have my ECM back yet, so it’s not like I’m going anywhere.

That’s a hell of a tool kit. Every time I start a project, I have the best intentions of keeping up with my tools. I always get a little lax about 3/4 of the way through. I am good about finding it all and getting it put up when the job is complete.

Excuse my language, but today was a real bitch. I realized I forgot to install the spark plugs after I gapped them. Off comes the upper intake. I get them installed, and as I am re-installing the upper intake, on my last bolt, I drop it right right into the engine. Off comes the upper AND lower...

Got further along in the install today. I called it quits after I got the upper intake manifold on. My kids were ready for some attention, so I’ll probably finish up tomorrow. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has experience with this install. 1. During the wiring process, the manual...

Anyone who got the Timken idler pulleys, or anyone knowledgeable on pulleys who might be able to answer this question. I ordered based off the part number in the picture, and I received these. Was the C3 removed from the model number? Looks like measurements are the same. ETA: I answered...

Busted. ?

Got to work on the install today. Between watching kids and looking around for where I sat my tools down, I made it to step 92…of 282. Installation manual is great. They estimate it takes 10 hours to install. For someone like me, I’d probably bump that up to 30.

This little number just came in the mail. Waiting on the smaller pulley from Magnuson, and I will have everything I need for install.

Got a 96 Viper GTS. Was always my dream car. Has some work done to it. Had a couple of Japanese sports bikes before I finally picked up a Ducati 1198.

This thread references NGK Ruthenium spark plugs. Magnuson says that if I'm under 5K miles (I'm at 1500), I don't need to replace spark plugs. I picked up Champion Iridium (CHP 9417) spark plugs today. Do I gap them the same as the Ruthenium? Anything I need worry about? Should I get Ruthenium...

Got everything ordered that I need for the small pulley install. Now the waiting begins for all the packages to show up. I told my 6 year old son that I got something to make the Jeep go faster. That was a mistake. ?
