Gotcha, makes sense!

Awesome, good to know! If you were talking to Prodigy, any reason you decided to go supercharger vs. their twin turbo setup?

Just looked up the weights and a stock Gladiator is between 4,650 to 5,050 lbs, whereas a Wrangler 392 is 6,100 lbs. So, stock for stock, the 392 is much heavier. The dyno's I've seen of a supercharged Gladiator put it at about 300whp, whereas a stock 392 puts down around 400whp. That's a huge...

Awesome that you've built the 3.6 to handle extra power and provide some additional safeguard! Out of curiosity, did you run the supercharger on the stock motor first and then decide to upgrade because of reliability or power concerns? Or, did you always plan to make ~500whp from the get go...

It's been a while since I last updated, but I've added a bunch of things to the truck and wanted to share. First, I wanted to find a setup that would allow me to keep the tonneau cover, but still be able to add a bed rack so I could have an awning and roof top tent. I looked at several options...

I actually reached out to MMX about whether their 392 swap could be done with a manual, and it sounds like it can, but they will swap in a GETRAG238 transmission because it is rated for higher power applications. The more I am looking into this, it sounds like the Hemi swap might be the better...

Wow, I realized that they wouldn't be equal in terms of performance, but didn't expect them to be so far apart either. Especially since you have the 5.13 gears with the supercharger - that's probably as aggressive a setup for acceleration with the V6 as you're going to get. I am probably not...

I think this is a really good way of approaching this. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought my Gladiator - it was my first truck, and my first Jeep. I never intended to be hardcore into crawling, and that remains true today. However, I did want it to be a pretty capable off-roader (in...

Interesting to hear all of the varied feedback. It's good to hear that there are folks who have been running a supercharger kit for some time without issues. Even better to hear that custom tunes are available - and it's just a matter of finding the right tuner that is able to tune for this...

Appreciate all of the responses so far. Sounds like there are inherent weaknesses in the 3.6 engine that are exacerbating the failures. Of course, having a bad tune never helps. Assuming tunes are partly to blame - what about them exactly is causing the failures? Is it unexpected lean...

I have a 2022 Gladiator Sport w/ Manual transmission and I've been looking for ways to add more power. While I don't think it necessarily NEEDS it, it is the one area where I think the truck could be improved upon. That said, I've always run 93 octane since brand new, and I felt that might've...

I got one of these earlier this month and agree that it is definitely a game changer. I have a Base Sport 3.6 w/ Manual transmission, and I'm running 33's on slightly lighter aftermarket wheels. No re-gear. While I've read a ton of comments about how terrible the manual transmission pairing is...

Sounds like a similar issue the Suburu tuners had when the ECU switches from open loop to closed loop...

Exit 120!

Thanks! Read that entire thread and it looks like there was never a definitive conclusion. I was really hoping it was just some random trash or something that got stuck to the bottom of my shoe and was tracked inside or something, but seeing that another person found the exact same part has me a...

I drove mine back home from the dealership over 350 miles away and didn't think twice about the noise (this is my first Jeep btw). But, once I started driving my family around, and they mentioned how loud it was, I started to notice it a bit more. All things considered, it isn't too bad unless...

Like the title says, I found this thing sitting on the driver's side floor mat. It looks like it might've fallen off from some interior trim piece, but I cannot tell where. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Oh that's awesome! Those are some very formative years and it's great that he's been able to share this hobby with you during that time! Hopefully my son will still be into cars as much as he is now in 10yrs time.

Got them from Pixel Decals here in the Forums!

Awesome! How old is your son? Mine is 4, going on 5, and he loves the way it’s coming together! He REALLY wants that winch but mostly because he thinks it’ll be a grappling hook!
