Default Who wants to help a fellow JK'er in Albany,NY

I just got my new tires put on (33's) and am looking for someone with an AEV Procal or Superchips or some other equivalent to turn off my tpms light and to set my tire size so my speedo is reading correctly. I am assuming these programmers can be used on more than one Jeep (sorry I wanted to search for that answer before posting but trying to search the site on my phone is awful).

Now what in it for you...some frosty beverages? Lunch? What do you want?

Let me know if any of you local guys are up for it!

Not near Albany, but I'm pretty sure every programmer locks to one VIN :(
Sorry, I don't think anyone gets the frosty....

I am coming from the skinny 16" pizza cutters. According to gps its off about 7mph when doing 65. I can only assume that gap increases the faster you go

It does, it basically works as a percentage. Ex: at 130mph you'd be 14mph off.

That's exactly why I got the Procal. My GPS showed my the speedo being off about 5-7 mph. I'd say bite the bullet, you might use some of the other functions on it!

I'm from NYC and have 35's on my JKU
And have the superchips. Unfortunately it is not compatible with more than one jeep(VIN) at a time. You should be ok with 33's

May be helpful. It's a calculator that helps you figure out how much your speedo is off by. Plug in the original tire size then the tire size you replaced them with and it will tell you a percentage by which your speedo is off. And will tell you how fast your actually going when it says 60mph

i could be wrong, but i think the dealer can reset your speedo. I doubt they'd turn off your tpms though.
