Everything Bubba said is spot on! I have the Stinggray Gladiator in the beginning of the video with 5.7. He tried to talk me into the 6.4, should of listened. Do i like my 5.7? Hell yes, but you always end up wanting more 😂 and $3000 at that point is a mute point. Have over 30,000 miles on it in 3 years and not a problem. Thanks Bubba

Hard to pick between the two engines, mine being a daily and used mainly on trails and not rock crawling I'm liking the 5.7 option. Plus I like the idea of not needing to run premium. Does that extra 100 horses make much of a difference in the gladiator? How does the gladiator drive power wise with the 5.7 ?

@paulbaker2680 6 ай бұрын

@williamcrabby6342 all the same thoughts I had. Mine is my daily driver, camper puller and trail rig. The Gladiator drives awesome with the 5.7 and I do not push it power wise to really need a 6.4 most of my driving is below 3000 rpm's where the 6.4 would shine at or above the 3000 rpm level. Of course now I have had it tuned locally and it requires 91 octane fuel, so there goes the octane argument. The 5.7 is fine, leaps above the V6. But, if you can afford it, just do the 6.4 as it will always be in the back of your mind. Wonder if I should have done the 6.4, as it is in mine. Do I need it? Nope, the 5.7 is awesome, but the thought is always there.

@paulbaker2680 that's a fare enough point, we always a little more power lol. Gladiator will be paid off in 3 years so maybe I can make up my mind in that time. Lol

I have 1 tons on my jeep with a 8" stretch on my 07 jeep jk, the little 3.8l still kicking with 5.38 gears lol abusing it as much as i can. My brother gave me his 11' dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7l should i put that on the jeep and be good pushing the tons around or would it be better getting the 6.4l. already have the donor truck with everything i'll need vs buying everything the 6.4l needs. The truck needs lots of tranny and electrical work so not planning on keeping it, engine is fine had it diagnosed.

Great info. Question: would it be worthwhile to do the PSC upgrade on stock axles. Ideally, you'd want to do an axle upgrade at the same time but would be looking at doing it later in the build...

@Exodus4x4 6 ай бұрын

LOTS of customers do the axle upgrade after the Hemi, but it’s either way. Doing the hydro assist during the install is way easier than after, even if you have to change the ram later on for more steering travel.

@joshuabaker5712 5 ай бұрын

If you have bigger tires, and go offroad, especially rock crawling then yes the PSC is 100% worth it.

Highly recommend you don’t go that route. We installed a few and they were decent but didn’t make the power they should for the money. I’ve also had to pull A LOT of blown pentastars due to superchargers and the high compression it makes in the newer platform. In my opinion,it’s either Hemi or leave it be.

Todd at Jeep speed shop basically answered the same question for me in person at one of the Jeep meets here basically he has the JK certified from 07 to 2018 but nothing beyond that it didn’t sound optimistic that there ever would be. However, he did say that because there is a 392 variant of the wrangler now it presumably would be possible to do the swap but it would have to be the 392 only and basically look and be factory and certify it however he hasn’t gone thru the process but definitely no on the Gladiator… I don’t know that he would be able to change it.
