I didn't read anything there that said it changed the shift points for "features". That would be the MAIN reason for me choosing it over any other. I have to say also that I'm thankful that the price is somewhat reasonable @ $375.

I was looking at the SEMA videos last month and I think Eddie was talking to them and it has settings for tire sizes, gears, and shift points. But I remember them talking about it not working on X or Saharas, some programming issues so I wouldn't rush to buy it yet. But if it gives more power on regular gas and helps fuel economy, I will buy one when the issues are worked out!

I thought it had more to do with the fuel mapping... I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows; it bugs the heck out of me!

From what I remember from the video was that only the X's they were having problems but not the Saharas and Rubicons?

Hypertech is crap
Search back a couple of weeks ago and you'll find a thread on the Max Energy from Hypertech. I as well as many others bought the Max Energy recently and found out the hard way that it did not work. Was directed to unplug fuses from fuse block and all kinds of crap only to have a guy at Hypertech say it does not work for JK but they should have one next spring or so. If they are saying anything otherwise I would be suspicious that they want the sales this time of year. I would wait until plenty of others had bought them and had success until I blew 400. I was also directed to do the upgrade online which did NOTHING. I was very unhappy with 4WD on this subject as well. If your going to market something and sell it for a profit then you need to know your sh_- IMHO. Just my two cents.

We I just check my Credit Card statement and 4wd only game me back $380 instead of $420. It looks like I'm going to have to call them on Monday and try to get my shipping back. I'll let you guys know about my customer service.
