Default Procal / Hypertech

Just wondering which one of these do you think is the best buy. I want something to reset my TPMS system, and not sure which one is the easiest to use, as I am a non-computer guy. I would like to recal my steering wheel centering as well. Any advice is appreciated. Also, where do you purchase these?

We have some excellent sponsors for online parts. I like Northridge and 4wd myself.

I have a superchips; can't recommend Hypertech. But if all you are wanting to do is program the tire size, then Procal is fine. Although i will say Superchips is very easy to use, but if you are not using the extra functions no need to spend the extra money.

None of these will recenter your steering wheel. Here is how you do that

The ProCal will actually help you though. You still need to get under your Jeep and turn the drag link, but the ProCal will use the turn signals to help you know when you've gotten your steering wheel centered... it basically turns this process into a 1 man job

Does Hypertech reset TPMS? My Jeep doesn't have TPMS, so ...

David at Northridge carries the Hypertech.

Don't have a Procal so did not know that trick on centering steering. Good tip

Procal will let you change the TPMS pressure. Superchips will let you reset it or disable it.

And Dave at Northridge knows all

Yes, do call David, he will hook you up.

Just to correct a point you made though, the ProCal will let you fully disable the TPMS as well.

Thanks. Not trying to dissuade from buying it at all. Superchips is great if you want a tuner. Procal will be the best bet if all you need is the fundamentals
