That is a good question, and one i was curious about too but had forgotten to ask. I will run out on my next break and take a peak.


EDIT:

Ok, i looked at my sticker. it says:
Flash PCM
5187132AH

Then the flash # 18-036-06, then a dealer code which i cannot quite read & yesterdays date.

I dont know what the Revision is, i am uncertain how to read it.

 

Well I'm guessing that you have a later flash than mine, my p/n is 05187158AG for the PCM and p/n 05107095AJ for the radio. Since yours has an "H" at the end, I would assume it to be more current. Maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in here. I wonder if the "J" revision that has been reported to be coming out was for the radio as that is what I currently have. I still think there is great improvement for the responsiveness of this fly by wire programming, especially at takeoff as mine still wants to stall. Hope the rumors of a more updated flash for around the 27th is true or Superchips or Hypertec comes out with a good programmer. I have the stage II Jet, but I think it is a waste of money compared to the other two I mentioned. Anyone else with any more current flash p/n's out there, we need to keep this going so we can each go into our respective dealers armed with knowledge. Too many people here getting blowed off because a dealer does not want the .4 hour warranty claim.
Rant over...for now

Hi guys. Just got the Jeep back from its first oil change and they did flash the PCM and the radio. I do not think they would have if I hadn't asked for it and showed them which TSB's I was talking about. They did sound pretty irritated that I was asking for it but they are both listed on my invoice as having been done. I'll have to check the stickers when I get home tonight and find out what exactly they say since I figured the service guys would be offended if I did it at the shop.
I don't want to overstate the performance after the flash but I can definitely tell the difference when going from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. (6 speed) I don't think there is really more hp but the power is distributed more evenly in the gear range. All in all I think it is definitely worth bugging the service department until they do the flashes.

 

Well obviously the Star link is back available since a couple of guys have got theirs flashed yesterday and today. I wander if it is available to all dealers if it is available to one, or is it dribbled out some how?

I'm in Abilene TX which is not a thriving Metropolis and I would think if it is available here then it should be available pretty much anywhere.

 

Ok, i just checked, and my jeep was built after the date, but it still does everything that you guys describe in your "pre-flash" reports... Is the dealer going to give me any problems about reflashing it?

 

Depends on your dealer, there have been reports of folks with appropriate build dates that are getting refused because the dealer can't duplicate or they have the manual transmission, or some other crappy excuse. If it is doing these things...somethings not right and a dealer should fall all over themselves to help you. I have a great dealer in Wichita, KS who has been very good to me and I am thankful.

You taking it to Haynes? if so they should hook it up, they had no problem after I showed them the print out of the TSB...

 

Just back from a 10 day trip overseas and I have my JK scheduled for an oil change Tuesday morning and I hope the TSB 18-036-06, but prior to going away I saw that it had been withdrawn and was due to be reinstated Jan 27th. Can anyone conmfirm that DC has in fact reinstated the TSB?

 

Thinkmud, I was going to ask which dealer in Richmond you were going to but you mentioned it above.

I have been going to Whitten (purchased dealer), have gotten less than stellar service recently so I wanted to get your overall impression of Haynes.

Thanks.
