Superchargers with GSPEC5 ECU???

[jwolfejt]

As bad as I'd love to have a new RAM, I keep hearing these horror stories about them. I'm so glad I still have my 2005 (bought in 2007)... only 160k on it.

Keep it those common rail 5.9's are sweeet and imo the 5.9 is a far superior engine in terms of longevity and durability (reliability) than the 6.7 for many reasons.

I have 48k on my 22'. It's not just Ram but all manufacturers right now. 100% def issues and nothing will change.

Not entirely true - the 22's didn't have the differential pressure sensor installed in the DPF so they just regen on a static interval (Unless you got a letter or goto the dealer to demand it gets added in). The L5P's and the 2018+ 6.7 powerstrokes seem ot have htis mostly sorted out as in you can go 200k-300k miles without a huge issue - now if you live where it can get cold... then you have to worry about your DEF tank freezing over... its really just a shit situation and makes owning a diesel truck a non starter for me.

I have a LP5 that lost weight because parts kept failing. It was under warranty and they were replaced, but then parts went national back order lmao. My 2017 F550 it had the def system cleaned 2 twice and ate 2 turbos in 60k miles. Some have issues some will never..

GPEC5 has officially been cracked and there are several places that are doing installs for 22+ years (at least here in Colorado). As mentioned earlier though, it remains to be seen how the GPEC5 holds up to repeated tunes or is it going to be more of a one and done type ECU.

Here's a link of another company installing one on a new Gladiator as well so it is possible.

THEIR'S IS NOT a GSPEC5, it's a GSPEC2 I think Jeep kept sending the old GSPEC2's to Australia and NZ. Look at the pic below and then the pic of their Glady ECU.

Don't pay attention to this though:

Always check. My September 2021 has GPEC2.

Run a fuel tech 550 with a dash bracket to mount it to the cluster. Ditch everything oem.

You talking about fitting this to a petrol Gladiator?

If there was a CARB legal supercharger that came with a program that actually worked I would do it. So far, the best thing you can do with the 3.6 is leave it alone.
