Howdy! Been lurking for about a month. Picked up a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon two months ago. Just purchased a Magnuson supercharger kit from a local shop in which the original customer backed out on. Looking forward to the build and documenting everything. Hopefully I don’t destroy my Jeep.

those of us on Dave’s tune are universally happy.

Reading through everything, I have every intention of using Dave’s tune.

What is Dave's tune? I'm just starting to research which supercharger I want to buy and install. Is there a supercharger on the market that retains factory warranty?

what? dude, there is no manufacturer anywherein the world that will warranty your truck after you bolt on a supercharger.

magnuson, edelbrock, and hamburger all offer a warranty program, with certain conditions.

Yes there are.

And Hamburger was working on being a Mopar part that would be warranty. But I hadn't heard updates. Apparently not yet. Thanks for the info.

hamburgers has been “working on it” for years. Its a long wait on a train that aint coming, for a blower that doesnt perform As well as the competitors.

there arent any blowers that mopar will warranty, but it appears the warranty programs from ham, edelbrock, and magnuson are all legit as long as you follow the guidelines for it.

SCs have to pass muster and keep the engine in check emissions-wise to be supported and the engine warranted by Jeep.
Once you are outside of the emissions range, FCA can't warrant it or support it is my understanding.
If your stock engine won't pass emissions testing, Jeep has to fix it.
If your engine is non-stock and won't pass - Jeep can wash their hands of making it pass emissions.
Plus there's the stress factor.......... too many things outside the control of Jeep for them to warrant.

I dismissed Hamburger's Mopar claims as soon as I saw their build requires relocation of the alternator below stock location and modifying of the airbox. There's no way a manufacturer will agree to honor a warranty with all that water intrusion risk.

Picked up my supercharger stuff today. Like I mentioned, this thing was ordered for a customer that backed out. I feel like I got a great deal on it. Looks like it was made in June of 2020, and has been sitting in the packaging since then. Anything I need to be worried about manufacturing at that time, ala recalls? Thanks for any help.

Alrighty. I emailed Magnuson support about this kit I purchased to make sure it was all good. I was told that I just needed to make sure the blue RTD from HP Tuners was there, and I should be good to go. I finally opened all the boxes, and I see nothing of the sort. No signs that any of the packaging has been previously opened. I know they sell two kits on their website. Does one kit come with this HP Tuner piece, and the other just come with the pre-paid slip to send the ECM to Magnuson?

I don't intend to use Magnuson's tune. I jumping straight to Dave's, and I intend to use the small pulley tune (Hi Dave! I'm Matt, and I'd like to speak to you about your small pulley tune). Not sure what I might need to order in to have minimum down time due to install. Thank you everyone for any advice you might have. Happy New Year!
