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
Thanks Paul!
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 ?
@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
Does then5.7nus 87 or 93 octane?
The hardest pill to swallow is the price.
It’s your old Jeep, but new again. Close your eyes and jump lol
Instead of buying a new vehicle from the dealership, just buy a new motor and it’s new again. 😂
What’s the price of this entire conversion?
@@rafaelgarcia5974$39,995
All done… Short, simple, and always to the point…
As always great Video /information
Love this channel I wish to GOD I would have went with y’all for my original build! But live and learn!
2020 JT-R just paid off and I would love the added HP! Just hit 45k miles! My need is mostly towing related in the MTNS for my 5k lb travel trailer which adds up to about 5-7k heavy miles a year!
Sounds like you could really use a 392 in that JT! Ready when you are!
Lotta money but, I imagine well worth it. I wish I could do one. 👍👍
My thing is that the 5.7 is cheaper and easier to maintain
Great video as always. One question--if you bought an automatic, can you also change it for a beefier manual transmission when you're doing this engine swap?
My dream setup: gladiator Mojave hellephant swap, portal axles, and 40s.
Woohoo!!!
Great info & it's great to find a dealer in Tx... If I do 426 hemi swap, will I have the option to add a long range fuel tank under & double my fuel capacity?
I have been looking for a swap and this video is great, just a few questions, are you able to have the air intake on the same side as the 3.6 and use a snorkel still? How long does the swap take to do in the shop? I have a 2015 JKU Rubicon and would love to get a swap soon but I'd be coming a long way from Canada :) Thanks
Thanks for great job guy's!!
I have only one question, du it possible to do with 3.2 Jeep limited Cherokee ))?
Negative
Have you done any 392 conversions on a 6 speed manual? I'm curious what trans would be best like T-56 or TR-6060 if there even is one anymore.
Yes the G238 is available for the manual guys!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2021 Mojave with 2 inch AEV lift. If I do a 6.4 swap, do you guys buy back the swapped parts like 3.8, trans, Transfer case etc?
What kind of mpg is that 392 usually getting on 91 octane? Only asking bc I’ve got a manual 2014 JKU on 33s and I’m getting about 16mpg. Wanted to see if it’d be about the same if I were to do the swap.
Legend has is that thei're still putting oil in the damn thing
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.
Did I hear you correctly that I can use the transfer case thats in my Gladiator Willys ????!!!
Question, do any of the engine swap conversions include an option for a 6 speed manual?
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...
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.
If you have bigger tires, and go offroad, especially rock crawling then yes the PSC is 100% worth it.
Good Q&A. What do you do with the 3.6. I need one.
What year model?
@@Exodus4x4 2017. Just need the engine. Thx
@@Exodus4x4I’m on the same boat how much you sell them for?
hold on, are you telling me if I buy a gladiator I can get one with a real engine, instead of that scooter motor it comes with by default?
Yep, we install a lot Hemis in JT’s!
Got questions about hemi ticks 😂
Spray the engine with flea and tick repellant and you should be fine
Do y’all do 392 jl to 426 stroker?
If you take vehicle to dealer will they be able to diagnose faults like factory or would you need to bring jeep to yall to fix it
Should be. Everything is Mopar and reads on a scanner as it should.
What about supercharger kits for someone that just wants a little hit of boost for their 2023 gladiator ?
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.
What’s the range on pricing for the swap? Does it void warranty? Do swaps offer warranty on parts failing? Thanks and great video!!!
Our website has the pricing on it. 3 year unlimited mile warranty on parts, first year includes labor.
Thanks! I may stop by when I go to ozona, TX turkey hunting this spring!
@@Exodus4x4 the website says to contact you for pricing.
Nice. Ever do a 3.0 ecodiesel swap?
No and we never will. Way more expensive for the customer due to so much more having to be changed out.
What about paddle shifters on the column is that an option?
It’s an option on the 2018 and up models
Have you had any of these get through the California smog process? I called Americas Most Wanted a d the salesmen said yes but was vague about it.
Unless something has changed, I tell people no.
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 and certify it however he hasn’t gone thru the process but definitely no on the Gladiator
Question: Do you have the “4H auto / 4H part time” as an option?
I think that can be arranged but most prefer the reliability of the traditional transfer case
I have a JK with 40 inch tires with UD60 4.88 gear ratio would that gear ratio work with 392 with 8 speed transmission ?
4.88 will work well. I like 5.13 better but the UD60’s don’t offer it. Ready when you are😉
No premium fuel with the 5.7 so thats a plus
I have a two door wrangler. I don't think I need the horsepower of the big v-8's. So, what would you recommend for the two door jeeps out there.
Maybe a re-gear, but that will only get you so far.
@@Exodus4x4 I have 4.88 gears in it now, on 35's. I'm not looking for anything crazy. Just enough umph to go up highway hills at regular speed. And not 45mph. lol
What about running a manual?
Is there a manual transmission you can safely put behind the 392?
G238
Do you plans to sell this as a kit? And ship it internationally?
Americas Most Wanted 4x4 makes this kit.
I have a 2017 jk with the 5 speed auto. Is it possible to put the 8 speed in it?
With a Hemi, yes.
It wont work with my original 3.6 ?
@@Exodus4x4
@user-cs9kf8zr7q it will yes. Just Google the swap. Dakota Customs has one.
Got jk 6.4 swap with 5 speed auto.when going up 330 going to big bear after a while trans won’t shift will stay on 3rds gear won’t up or down sift
Can you do a similar video except for the JK?
I could but it’s the same across the board now. Only difference might be the JK won’t get the same 8HP75 but it’ll be one just the same.
What’s the starting price. If you have to ask you can’t afford it
Can it be registered and smogged in CA?
Not, yet…
Can you do the 426 on the JK?
I’ll be waiting. lol
@@Exodus4x4is this something that’s being worked on?
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. It’s about California air resource board (carb) approval getting it past a ref to get a sticker
I hear ya but a 392 can't take boost 5.7 and 6.2 are the best engines
Can’t take boost? Hellcat is reliably 700+, the Demon is 800+, and factory options in some models. The days of there LS engine are long gone man. At some point you have to let go and move on.
That’s a joke right ? What you think a Hellcat or Demon is😂
@@richardagostino5085 a 6.2 like I said there good and the 5.7 the 5.7 can take boost better than a 392 u have to rebuild the whole engine the internals are weak. The only thing that's forged is the crank how I know I work for dodge. And who brought up a LS 😆
I'm not sure using the term "as reliable as it was from the factory" is a good selling point. Just sayin
I just got a Gladiator, I am coming from Toyotas... OMG I don't think my wallet can survive all this awesome crap I can do to my Jeep.
