Which staying with the 4.10 gearing will save my gas milage over going with higher gears would, so maybe over time I'll make it up in money. With stock "tuning" and 4.10s and 35s I am not quite as happy as I am with the tow tune.
Hmmm that's some food for thought. I figure if I go with the premium lift I could sell the procal and get a superchips later. .. Maybe lol

One thing thats always put me off to tuning is my warranty. I feel relatively safe with my ProCal as it doesn't effect things like engine timing and what not... I would hate to give a dealer a reasonable way to weasel out of my lifetime warranty.

But... if you get the Superchips, I guess nothings saying you HAVE to use it to tune. You could just use the basic functions, and then when you warranty is up you can move on to tuning... best of both worlds

You just "untune" it like you do the procal before returning to dealer and they never know.

I've done that once already!!

Ah... good point... I am just a little warranty shy, if you know what I mean. But, you are 100% right, any of these devices should leave zero trace if you revert your Jeep back to stock before a warranty visit.

Yeah... I must say, AEV's customer service sucks.

I've emailed them, and I've called them, and I can't get them to return either my call or my email

Am I the only one that gets the feeling that a lot of these places (shops, manufacturers, vendors, etc.) seem to care more bout people who spend big bones but tend to oversee (overhear or overread) people that make smaller purchases???

I agree... however... over the past few, I do have two exceptions... Northridge and OR-Fab.

I probably didn't tell you, but the president of OR-Fab called me to talk me through part of my rear tire carrier install. He gave me his personal cell number and told me to call him, anytime, if I had any problems. I didn't ask for this level of service, and I sure as hell didn't spend "big" bucks... that truly is TOP notch.

And, David and Northridge... I got my axle shaft in today. PERFECT condition. Packaged really well for the return ship, and professionally assembly for only less than a fancy dinner. Hell, David even greats me with "What's up Jason" when he answers the phone

But, other than those two exceptions, I 100% agree that most places could care less about anything other than the initial sale. They want rapid turn around, no questions asked. Anybody you can't do that is just wasting their time

Those kind of traits are getting harder to come by anymore. So, hats off to them both.

I called and emailed Wild Boar inquiring about any specials on their front bumper. I'm willing to spend over a grand in upgrades and i can't get them to reply. Probably going to be taking my cash elsewhere.

Yes i know most people think that bumper is ugly.
REEEEEEEALLLLLLY want that fastback hard top lol.
