Man, you all are awesome! Did not expect so many kind words. I thought long and hard on the Gladiator, but realized it was a habit, I could not put down easily, if it was sitting in the garage. I actually bought a beater and was gonna make that my daily, but you would be surprised how far...

Everything but the engine.

Hey guys I know these are never the most popular posts. I apologize ahead of time to those I let down. I really do love the Gladiator platform. I do think there is room for improvement, but it ain't bad. At one time I thought this would be a LONG term vehicle. My Gladiator was A daily and it...

If they hook up the starscan tool while the problem is present they should be able to see the module that is preventing the start sequence. If no module comes up, that narrows it down to the mechanical start wiring and connectors.

It's not that it cannot be cracked. It has been. The problem is the memory fails with repeated flashing. Basically jeep can't settle on an OS and now you have a shady no brand ecm that fails, with questionable engine hardware. That's a hard road to hold.

I actually had a Sema pass to be in the Sprintex booth. Family obligations kept me from going. Daughter's Volley Ball team qualified for State. Really cannot miss that stuff!

The sprintex hardware is a pretty decent kit. The supercharger definitely makes its presence known. Sounds good though. I have been working with Sprintex and doing some research on the 3.6L as I have two of them sitting in my shop. I have put together an ultra conservative tune for them...

If you let me know when your doing it, I will rebuild it asap while your there

It is not an evolution. I have the evolutionary step on my garage floor. 2019 3.6 to a 2020 3.6 those have a bunch of interchangeable parts, but they can not be used stock in place of each other. The 3.6s running variable valve lift have way different heads, block rotating assembly, pistons...

Completely different engine. They do not even share the same rotating assembly

The flash just moves the VVL activation point and dumbs down the knock sensors. You will need the supercharger tune to drive it

I ended up having to change both cams. It happens on both sides, just seems to happen on drinkers side first. DC I think you are right the lifter design has been updated, but still a drastic update. To boot I did not tear down my exhaust cam because my ride needed to be back in action asap, it...

I have a brand new 500 mile take out and a Sprintex and Magnuson supercharger. Currently I am planning on putting my jeep back to stock. I could be convinced to put it back supercharged if someone wanted it that way

I answered your questions just below each one. As you can read I am just kind of exhausted of this platform. I am to the point I just want a fun easy to maintain daily driver. I am over hearing and feeling every nuance of the engine and wondering is something wrong, is it OK to drive. Will it be...

The biggest problem that faces the 3.6L at form and supercharging are the proliferation of operating systems and parts that come from Jeep. There are obviously issues being sorted out on the the 3.6L with variable lift technology. To date I have serviced over 350 variations of stock software. I...

Bullitt, are you still around and do you still have these pieces? I am getting a replacement engine together for my Jeep, be nice to use these pieces.

It was sold as a preproduction, but we were pretty sure it would run well, and it really did. Sprintex is supporting the clean up process, but I will never get that time back, which was my decision. Yes I took out my motor trying to get data on the situation. That part really sucks as that is...

Also just to be clear. My choice not to post was to steer clear of any misunderstanding or negativity for the shop and Sprintex.

Well I am never one to shy away from the truth. Yes the engine expired. I finished the truck and was using it as a daily and was getting the driveability nailed down on the tune. I drove it to work, took my kids to sporting events, to the family out to dinner. With the Sprintex, I had to...
