See how it sounds, mine is so quiet with the stock muffler, I probably could have saved the money. Also, I'm getting EOC and MRTuning confused... I went through EOC so that makes sense why you couldn't order one, my bad.
They have a gladiator setup with a resonator, it's in my driveway. Maybe they stopped making it? I also have the stock axle back muffler. It basically sounds stock so you should be fine anyway.
No plug, but it is easy to remove the Skid and 3 screws that hold the pump in. It will drain slowly from there. Then you add a few gallons of Distilled water to preserve the inside.
EOC fixed the red light issue. The only benefit to cloning yourself is cost and less downtime. When you send your ECM to them you have 3 options.
- Overwrite your stock unit
- You clone your stock unit and provide clone to EOC
- Send your stock unit to EOC, they clone it the same way we are and...
Just do a search for the programmer on Google and take your pick on which sketchy website to use. Lots use Ali Express. I used TEMU.

Make sure you find one with a USA power cord or for whatever your local power plugs accommodate.

Mine was fine. You can re calibrate the screen if you need to. Also, the device is just to transfer the tune to the trans. The tune file itself and the device were developed by separate companies. So no worries about tune quality from this.
For EOC stage 2. drain the DEF. It's 3 bolts for the skid plate, then 3 bolts for the pump. pull the pump about an inch or 2. Let drain (2 gallons of DEF takes about 30-45min). put everything back together and fill the DEF tank with 2 gallons of distilled water.
Not sure how fat your deal is but I am selling my Derringer for $250 and Ill ship it. Only used it for ~20K miles. Works great, nothing wrong with it, going stage 2 and don't need it anymore. Let me know if you're interested! lol
I was nervous about cloning the PCM myself, mostly due to the knock off harness and that worst case scenario is you have a bricked PCM and a dead gladiator... Regardless, I did it anyway. I am happy to report that I just got back from my test drive with the cloned PCM installed. Everything works...
In the picture above it looks like you didn't purchase the axle back portion of the exhaust. Did you leave the stock back half of the exhaust on which would include the stock resonator tips and muffler? Trying to determine if the sound from your video is the straight pipe or with those factory...
can you mount the steel bumper to the Jeep with the plastic bumper steel skid plate brackets on the frame? I ask because I am considering just trimming the steel skid plate to fit with the bumper. I got it for free and would love to use it even if I need to trim it.
