    Can adding the SC bring on the pentastar's dreaded tick? First its a 2012 problem,

    Second, Here's my timeline.

    My truck was built in December of 2011. Delivered Jan 13 2012.

    So its an earlier 12. I never had a tick.

    Put the SuperCharger on (UNTESTED) at about 10k miles.

    RIPP my truck to develop the system map for manual trans jeeps. This means Dyno pass after Dyno pass as they played out every situation you could possibly be in on the road.

    Then drove non stop cross country. There is no way your going to be harder on your truck.

    Im at about 17k miles, I drive like a car thief, and there is no tick.

    Here is a video showing that low gear, high RPM climbing technique i was just talking about.

    Pete wants to goose the throttle, He is frustrated when I wont let him...watch what happens.

    Black Betty is one special Jeep.

    If you had it to do over again.... Would you still put the RIPP SC on? Or go Mag? Or wait for the TURBO?

    This is a matter of taste.

    I've driven with the RIPP SC for over a year now. I drove it cross country.

    Would I love a mag if id had it the whole time? Maybe.

    But having lived with this SC for so long, and how trouble free the jeep is with it, I can say, If i was building a new jeep tomorrow... It would have a RIPP.
