My first impressions of the Hypertech Max Energy was good. Not a bit of problem with it - until today. Swapped tires/wheels for a road trip, reprogrammed the tire size, and now the Jeep won't stay running. Of course, Hypertech is closed on weekends.

Looking through the threads, 3 others had the same problem. Four instances of Hypertech turning the Jeep into a vegetable are three too many for my tastes. I could understand the occasional blip - every product has them. But having a known bug that disables the Jeep is not building much product loyalty in me.

By the way, the road trip is obviously canceled.

 

I just bought the Superchips. Doing The performance and recalabrated it to 35" tires no problem ; )

 

Sorry to hear that. I always get that little feeling of apprehension when trying something new on the weekend, although I've primarily been worried when I have just done an upgrade.

I did have a problem one time with my truck and the SC over a weekend where it wouldn't take a tune because of a download issue, but at least I was able to get it back to stock to roll until Monday. Fortunately the solution was pretty simple, just made sure the download wasn't interrupted by a screensaver and all was good.

Important note to self though was to never again do a weekend software update.

 

I would normally agree, never try anything new on a weekend. But I didn't update the program from the last 3 or 4 changes, just was resetting the tire size. Sounded simple enough.

Lesson learned. OK. Maybe not "learned", but lesson understood until the next time I try something on a Saturday morning.

Meanwhile, I have a 4,000 lb paper weight sitting in the garage. On a weekend. Crap. Gotta stop thinking about it!!

 

Hey AZ, that wasn't a dig by any means and I wouldn't have thought twice about doing what you did.

I also agree that installing an upgrade is quite a different story on a weekend.

 

No dig taken! I'm just upset that Hypertech has this problem and it bit me in the A$$!

But being from Arizona with all the rattlesnakes and all, you'd think I'd be used to it by now. Come to think of it, I've never been bitten in the A$$ by a rattlesnake.

Wish I had the ball$ not to use the $ for an "s".

 

Never did salvage the road trip, but Hypertech came through. Gave me a "special program" through the internet that did the job.
