I have been thinking about adding a supercharger to my Gladiator and had the chance to speak with a rep from two supercharger companies. Both Sprintex and Magnuson make a Supercharger for the gladiator and I can see benefits and drawbacks to both. If you are thinking of supercharging. your Gladiator or JL this video may be helpful. The supercharger in a jeep just makes a lot of sense over an LS, LT, or Hemi swap ... definitely something to consider. Magnuson is made here in the US, The Sprintex is assembled in the U.S. both have lots of features.

Thanks for the video. I’ve been wanting to add a SC to my gladiator for awhile now. Great information from both of the manufacturers I’m considering.
Glad it was helpful!
I have had my Magnuson installed on my Gladiator Rubicon for 8 months now and love it. Magnuson Support is amazing and always willing to help.
Im leaning that direction now ... just still on the fence. thanks for watching :-)
I had a sprintex over ten years ago on my 08 jk..the blower whined like CRAZY paired with a banks intake. Having a good experience with them in the past makes me want to go with them for my gladiator. But I’m in the same boat still considering magnuson.
Its tricky ... tough decision to make... thanks for your input and thanks for watching 🙂
Yo I’m leaning towards sprintex. Jay Upton is a guru/genius. I’ve met him in person plenty of times at the race track when he had his nitro drag bike. Absolute weapon of a guy and has way too much knowledge in the tuning game
Wish I'd have known about the limitations of the GPEC5 prior to ordering my 2022 Mojave, however this looks like a great alternative to a complete engine swap which to me makes no financial sense. At that point, I'd purchase a 392 with a warranty.
I thought about that and the diesel but the fact is with a SC you get more horsepower and more torque than either, also better gas milage than the 392. And if you blow the engine they are inexpensive to replace... warranty on a 382 is only 35k miles unless you get the extended warranty. For the money the 3.6 with a supercharger is a great way to go.

Thanks. I'm in the same boat. Seeing if worth it to improve towing 5K#
Either way i want to do it... i think it will really improve the performance but i Know it will be expensive with fuel. Thanks for watching Please consider subscribing. :-)
My 2020 JT-R will hit 40k this year. Such a decision to buy something with no Warranty at $8k range or is the UNIT covered, just not anything in the powertrain it's attached to ? Really want a little extra just for towing my 4k travel trailer when I hit the hills currently the 3.6 gets the job done but struggles.
I am right there with you … as my Gladiator gets heavier I can feel it brewing for torque, and I want bigger axles for all the weight. The problem is I figure either I do the supercharger or I go full send and do the Americas most wanted gel at but that’s another 50 grand basically… way to rich for my blood so I figure at least if I blow up the 3.6 I can get a replacement. Inexpensively. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing :-)
Will this give me more power to tow heavier things? like a travel trailer? Will I need to do anything to my transmission and or suspension?
It will give you a lot more power and you don't have to upgrade the transmission or suspension although that mey also help with towing. thanks for watching :-)
Fwiw I got the RIPP supercharger kit and I have been very impressed with the drivability and the engine oil temps. I have been very pleased. I did want specifically a centrifugal supercharger though.
I have heard good things about the RIPP supercharger, for me Temps are very important because I am here in Las Vegas and my Gladiator is HEAVY. Still on on the fence as to which system to get so id like to find out more about the RIPP one as well. Thanks for the input, thanks for watching Please consider subscribing. :-)
Edelbrock has one as well. The Sprintex looks like a cheap extruded aluminum body. Where all the others have cast aluminum.
I agree with you ... id love to know more about the Edelbrock too they have a great reputation. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing :-)
Twin screw will always be more thermo efficient than roots style. Just physics. Why people switch factory roots blowers to whipple, which are twin screw.
Good to know thanks for watching hope you enjoyed the video
“Thanks to Joe Biden!” I loved these cracks….as well as the content, of course!!
My wife says i should keep the channel free from politics.... i say no ..... Trump 2024 ... Thanks for watching :-)
I think you should've listen to your wife😂😂😂 I think she maybe way better informed than yourself 😳😁👍🏻
From the research I've done - Edelbrock and Hamburger superchargers seem to have the least amount of problems and offer to protect the OEM 3/36 warranty. Sprintex's website says "the King of torque" BUT they DONT list the stats of the supercharger for the JT????? WHY would anyone buy it if they dont have the info???
Good question I’ll ask them at the next sema … I’m not sure which direction I’ll go but I’m leaning towards magnosun. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing .

Is It a good idea to put super charges in my jeep gladiator is it safe won't. Make it any problems for the engine
Any modification can cause issues depending on how its done. BUT who is to say you wont have issues anyway? Thanks for watching
@@TheBHiveRV so it's no good. I leave my engine as it's is.
