392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

That's not at all true, if it were, they wouldn't need to sequence them and they wouldn't carry different part numbers.

The rails, bare, are the same, but frame, assembled, is 100% dependent on drivetrain

also AMW has a proprietary attachment for the gladiator at the transmission to match the mounts on the larger frame. I'm sure they would need to engineer that as well. the wrangler frame is different from the gladiator

yes, that was my point. That stuff is already worked out for the 392 (or any hemi) on the wrangler side, so putting the mounts and bracing on a JT frame is as simple as putting it on..

I realize the 2.0, 4xe, 3.6 and 392 are different from each other.

My VM box was full, so I went in and bulk deleted everything prior to that day, and it flashed on the screen briefly that that goofball had called me lol. Wish I had seen it before i deleted it, I'm sure it was some kind of, bro we can go back and forth off this crap forever and profit!

I was, ironically, also going back and forth with Thyssen-Krupp for my day job at the same time and must have decided he was with them and I had dealt with it lol.

I take it you work for Stellantis. My Dad was a branch manager for 25 years at Chrysler Credit. He had some interesting 440 & Hemi repos back in the day.

I haven't haven't worked for Stellantis since it was FCA lol.

But I do work for a large tier 1 supplier, and I was one of the JL and JT launch engineers.

Go check into a Motel 6 - I hear the walls talk to you and tell you secrets.

news today from stellantis ceo said they plan on presenting thier business plan in the first half of next year, so v8 gladiator would probably be announced next year, so I wonder if it would be mid year when they roll out or 2027 model?

Todays update/not update.

Someone asked at one point about the 2.0 WL, seems it's still on track.

Dang Toothless K's Garbage was wrong on the JT Hemi. Instead they are increasing 5.7 production to 730 jobs per day to support the RAM 1500 DT instead.

Oh no, he knows, he has sources. I'm just a hater, they're discontinuing the Pentastar and everything will be Hemi, I'm just petty.

All he wants for Christmas is his...................

Anyway, that's funny as heck after recalling an old episode of Myth Busters (weird how the brain makes connections like that) where they had pretty much 100% success having people ID their own teeth out of a board full of pictures of people's teeth.
I think it was supposedly connected to "I know it like I know the back of my hand" and they were wondering what other body parts people recognize of their own out of a group.

Wonder what his response would be to that .. Yep there's me ol' pie hole I'd recognize it anywhere.
