Thoughts of throwing in the towel

[Mac]

I have always wanted a short bed regular cab 4wd with a ton of power, EB will probably be faster for less money but the V8 is cool if you can get it in a sbrc

You can get the 5.0 in that body.

The 5.0 and the 3.5 EB are about dead even stock, the 5.0 usually has about 1 mph more trap speed.

I agree the turbo is easier to go faster, cheaper.

Well I have this 5L dialed in and it is always dead nuts consistent. Figured the truck does not need to be this wicked up, so it would be even easier.

To be fair the Ole gladdy was lookin sharp today

I saw the Story Till Now guy is ditching his blown JT too

Do you think the problem is more with the 3.6 itself or the ECU?

To be fair he does abuse that rig

I think you need to lay off the tuning and even this forum and just enjoy your gladiator for what it is. Frankly I don't think you've spent enough time just trying to enjoy it to jump ship just yet. And you have already have the answer for your speed itch with the mustang.
You've done enough work, just relax and enjoy your truck for a bit. Hell I bet damn near every drive you have taken in it up to this point had you mulling over what could be improved and how you could do it instead of just cruising for the sake of the drive.

Screw this forum and us, just take a break.

As much as this pains me to say ( because Dave has been a huge help ) I agree 100% with this.

I only decided to move forward with the blower because of Dave and the work he had done on this thread. I'm hopeful ( @DAVECS1 if you could tell me that I'm running a good tune now with no problems current or future. Yeah it may not be the fastest but as long as I've got some zoom zoom and its reliable I'm good with it.

@DAVECS1 take some time away from all of this ( after you tell me of course ) and enjoy your toys the way they are meant to be enjoyed!

I'll always be thankful for the help and support you gave me and my rig!

Didn’t he just pick up a new Sarge Green one to start another build?

NVM. The Ginger is at AMW. Didn’t specifically mention Shaun’s Gladiator.

I told you on the tuning post (told everyone) you have done excellent efforts, but some stuff cant be fixed.
You are not the only person putting out this kind of effort, and not the only person getting the same results sadly.
I respect your efforts, and it is clearly not an issue of you.
So I say go forth, be super-charged, and live it sir!
