Scott,

if you need it, the Jeep TSB is #05-001-08. Can you PM me when the file is ready? Also, I'm not married to the ESP disable. I guess I could get back in and try again to fix it (maybe extended track bar) if needed. I'm more interested in the tuning.

Let me know when you guys have something.
Thanks.
Scott T.

 

I've got a stupid question. I'm not sure if my factory flash is the most current. When using the superchip does it overwrite the entire memory? And if so is that modified data based on the most recent Chrysler image? Or does it only overwrite parts of the memory (fuel tables, timing table, etc)?

I'm just wondering if I should get the latest factory flash before I start messing with the flashpaq.

Thanks!
Doc

 

Thanks for the info! The engineer was aware of the TSB and broke it down for me while we were talking about it.

PM me your tuners SN and I will keep an eye on the update for you.

I wouldn't be concerned with updating unless your vehicle needs an upgrade to correct existing issues.

We store a copy of your files to the programmer so that you can safely return back to stock without any residual info being left in the vehicle.

In the event that you need to go in for a recall you can and we recommend that you return your vehicle back to stock, have the service done and then retune. That way the dealer does not wipe out your Superchips tune.

it took less than a day to get the new program from engineers. but had a general error code "g-3f". Which I guess means I don't have enough battery power to finish the update.
i'm letting the jeep run for a little bit, then I'll add a charger. We'll see if that fixes it. It was parked for a few days with stuff in the outlets(gps,cell phone charger......)

 

The G-3F is a time out error code that might have been based on voltage to the vehicle. What happened was that the PCM did not communicate back to the programmer in the set amount of time set in the programmer.

Give it a try once more after your voltage is up to par and let me know if you are successful or run into issues.

Perhaps I don't quite understand...but why are people purchasing this product when it comes defective from the factory and has so many issues/problems? If this was another industry, or if someone purcahsed a dvd player that didn't play dvd's we would return it and demand a higher standard.

If no one purchased it the way it is now, wouldn't it force superchips to produce a higher quality product that worked when received?

I had a chip for my '88 5.0L mustang back in the day, and it was plug and play...

Again, I am not trying to cause any problems, just curious I guess. (I actually want one of these for my jeep, but do not think I am prepared to go through all these hassles).

I believe that you are mistaken, there are no defective products being released to the market here.

The comments about the product needing an update are related to new vehicle stock files being presented to us that we were originally unaware of when the product was first released.

Jeep creates thousands of unique files for each model they produce throughout their lifetime.

We work very hard to gain access to as many of those files as we possibly can before releasing a product to the consumer but there are always going to be some new ones out there that require us to update the list.

The quiry on the G-6F code in the post above has alot to do with battery voltage. The product requires a constant 12 volts to communicate with the vehicle.

If there is a source pulling power from the battery at the time that you go to program the vehicle like a cigarette lighter port in use or an aftermarket stereo system hardwired to the battery it can draw the voltage down to a point where the product can not communicate properly.

A low battery by itself can also offer the same results.

Scott

 

Interesting. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

And I thought that maybe I was mistaken, which is why I preceded my initial post with "Perhaps I don't quite understand..."

Thanks Scott.

I charged my jeep over night, solved the problem,
i guess I have a week battery. HMMMM yellow top optima next mod? I actually don't think I was putting th e key all the way over to on, must have been putting it on acc. I have a working speedo now! I like the little extra oomph.
