Exodus/AMW 425/345 Conversion

[AmosMoses]

Ok,

1. Who wants a turbo 4 cylinder engine in a truck? Whoever does shouldn't be driving a truck.

2. You're 82 you do what you want!

3. Why wait for Jeep to make a Gladiator 392? They are going to charge you over $100K for it.
Your conversion is probably cheaper!

I'm jealous and happy for you!

I was being sarcastic

Iam happy for him too!

My bad. You know there are some people that would drop the 4 turbo in their truck on this forum. How many threads do we have on saving gas mileage.

There are some people who would chatter about it endlessly on forums and groups to hear their heads rattle at least.

Just heard from Exodus. I'm scheduled in the shop on February 16, 2026. Expect 3-4 weeks installation time. I'll keep y'all posted.

With no credit there’s no way I’d be leaving all the take off stuff with them.
Looking forward to the final product update.

Hello Legacy_etu. I don't plan to if I can find somebody who would like to have the take off stuff and is willing to pick it up at Exodus or arrange for shipping. I just do not have any way of bringing it all home myself.

For the value of several thousand dollars, have a local LTL company like R&L lift gate it to your house on pallets.

@TOMMY REB ^^^^^ Do the above. Then list it all on FB, Craigslist, whatever.

It’s been a few years since I had my swap done but at the time I got a 3k credit for the 2.0 and trans (40k miles) pulled from my 2019 JLU.

That is a definite possibility. However, I do not have a good place to store it and I would really rather not have to fool with it. I would much rather have someone (hopefully a forum member) who could use it, pick it up in New Braunfels. If I ship it to my house I feel like I would have to at least recover shipping cost on a subsequent sale. If someone picks it up in New Braunfels, I have no such constraint and can make them a deal "they cannot refuse".

congrats! did you ever call AMW? I see that exodus has a 3-4 week install, AMW is about 1.5 to 2 weeks.

Hello Itdodge. I did not call AMW, but I did email them with some questions and they were non-responsive. Exodus' good reputation plus the fact that they are "only" about 270 miles from me, made them the logical choice for installer. Also, I like the idea of having my installer relatively close by just in case support is required down the road.

In anticipation of some "during and after" conversion pictures, I thought I'd post a couple of "before" pictures. Almost stock, 2020 Rubicon. It does have an AFE CAI and a Flowmaster FX cat back exhaust.

Very nice! That's going to be an even sweeter ride when done! I, tok, am envious, I can't seem to make a strong enough case to pull that string in my house...
