Thanks for posting this. Since my tach rarely climbs above 3500 this is pretty worthless for me. Strange that it kicks in so late. I thought supercharging was supposed to kick in lower than a turbo.

That's funny, when I accelerate my jeep is rarely below 3500 rpm. lolThanks for posting this. Since my tach rarely climbs above 3500 this is pretty worthless for me. Strange that it kicks in so late. I thought supercharging was supposed to kick in lower than a turbo.
Not all superchargers are the same. Mine is a ProCharger which is nothing but a turbo driven by belt. Other kind that use screw type shafts produce torque at much lower rpm. But I would say that for lower rpm driving like rock crawling gearing is the way to go. Superchargers belong on paved roads, in my opinion.Thanks for posting this.

Was that while towing your camper ?Update. Took a long trip, Chicago, Topeka, KS. I do that trip often and my mpg is around 14 or less mpg. This last trip my wife and daughter were the only drivers. CC set at 75 mph and the mpg was 17 flat I didn’t know I drove so different from them.
I’ll bet it did something to the oil separator; since it’s buried right in the middle of the belt routing. Fingers crossed for you!I am hoping the belt when it broke ripped off some oil sensor or something of that sort.
Dare I ask without a warranty what all that cost? And I’m assuming it was nt covered under warranty thanks to the supercharger?My Jeep is back on the road. The cause for the code P06DD was that the pieces of the crankshaft seal got stuck on the intake of the oil pump restricting the flow. Shop dropped the oil pan and cleaned everything.
I have not approached ProCharger on this matter. The shop did talk to them and showed that they had installed an idler wrong that eventually caused the whole mess.
