From what I have read, if the harness connectors are on top on the ECM its not compatible...

Bingo!!!

I can confirm this to be true. Guess I’ll start my “never buying another Jeep” thread. ?

Probably going to pull the supercharger and go back to stock. I know it is a priority for HP Tuners to provide support for the new ECM, but I'm going to assume that that priority for them is not as high as it is for me. I work from home, but it is proving too much of an inconvenience to only have one daily driver available.

I did consider buying a beater to hold me over, but I know I'll end up spending money on some car from my childhood that I always wanted. I tried looking, and next thing I know, I'm placing bids on low mileage BMW Z3 M coupes.

Sorry that happened. I really wish I could.of caught that earlier for you. It has been cool talking and working with you. Once you have that all available I can let people know you have a kit. I am sure someone would snap up the small pulley setup.

Sucks to hear...and I appologize that this image is stuck in my head. Just thinking about that SC lol

Not a big deal, and no apology necessary. Only way you could have caught that hiccup was if you were there when I bought the Jeep, and if you stopped me from handing over the cash when I bought the supercharger. I appreciate all your help in figuring out why I couldn't get a read on the engine.

That being said, I do not intend to sell it once removed. I believe HP Tuners will be able to provide support sooner or later. When that day comes, I'll put it back on. Worst case scenario, I do your suggestion of replacing the electrical system with the GPEC 2A system.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I bought this thing BNIB from a local shop where the original purchaser backed out. They wanted it off their books before the end of 2021, and I bought it for an absolute song. It would make some people sick to their stomachs if they found out how little I paid for it.

Got vetoed by the wife. The supercharger stays installed and I wait for HP Tuners to provide support. She told me to just buy another car.

Wanna trade lol!

Thats about what I would be told under similar circumstances....

Fuel rail install is super tight. Was thinking of getting some fuel line to replace the stock crossover line to make install a bit easier. Thoughts?

Also, one of the damn fuel rail bolt holes was not drilled deep enough and the bolt wont seat all the way down... Took to a mchaine shop to fix... Otherwise install going well...

I am good about finding it all and getting it put up when the job is complete.

That.....is really all that matters.

I'm at about the same spot. Lowe intake ready to go on, but I forgot to order plugs prior to starting, and they came in yesterday. Going to swap those today, and start on bolting the intake up.

A little extra fuel line seems fine to me. I don't remember having much of an issue there. Now, I could definitely go back and add some length to the PCV line that connects to the Clean Air Tube fitting. That one required quite a bit of tugging to get it connected.

So...just to give everyone a heads up, if you have a late '21 model or newer Gladiator, the ECM is a newer model that HP Tuners does not currently support. So...maybe hold off on ordering that Maggie until you know you can load the tune to make it driveable.

Wow, this blows me away. I have tuned a number of 2021 Jeeps. They made a controller switch mid model year.

OOF!

If I am not mistaken, the controller change happened as a result of the chip shortage.
