Umm...Am I the only one here who can disconnect the sway bar in 4-hi? Did they mean 2-hi?

I would love to be able to disconnect in 2-hi. I think they are confused about not being able to disco in 4-hi. Perhaps they are confusing the JK's inability to lock in 4-hi.

The stock Rubi will disco in 4-hi.

Bully Dog has always made great Diesel products, but haven't been as competitive for gas engined vehicles. I like the display and gauge options and I'd love to be using my Superchips in a similar fashion. The performance numbers seem a little lower than the competitive product, but I don't buy into those much. Best to do a side by side comparison.

The one big feature seemingly missing is a transmission package. If I had an automatic that would be a big consideration.

Personally, I am pretty much done with performance upgrades on my JK for the time being as I'm not far from picking up a second one that will have better out of the box performance.

What package are you referring to?
I am deciding between the SC and BD right now and have an auto.

For what I understood BD comes with a transmission package that SC sells as an option. Is the SC's package better?

I am leaning towards BD because of the real time monitoring, which is a nice feature.

Thoughts?

At 65 the jeep seems to downshift less now and I'm getting about 1.5 mpg better around town...this is my steering column mount..I used industrial velcro and found a 48 cent plastic picture holder at walmart I cut down to fit lol..the cord runs perfectly behind the steering column...it's rigged up but it works if I need to detach it and lock it in the glove compartment

Like I said earlier, unless this has changed, the tranny "package" is sold separately for $50 for the flaspaq. And from what I read, the ability to adjust tranny shift points comes stock with the Bullydog. Does the SC tranny package allow more than just shift adjustments?

Thanks so much. As soon as I get mine I'll have to put my creativity to work. I love this mounting position and the options this device has.

Also for all on the ledge between bullydog and vivid. Vivid has bluetooth between obd2 connector and the unit. Also has alot of expansion for future stuff because it's on the android OS. But in my opinion. I'm more into straight up results and lower prices for it.

You can adjust the Speedo by percantage, but you need to figure the percantage vs just a simple programmer switch

Does Bully Dog also offer the 30 days warranty as Superchips? I'm very close to place the order this weekend. ;-)
