What's best for the fan setting I dropped mine to 200 for high speed - 195 for Med. and 194 for Low.
Didn't go lower for low as I think I red the sensor doesn't kick on till 195.
I think cooler is better to an extent but at what point am I just over using the fan.

The fan shouldn't come on until at least 20 degrees above your thermostat temperature. If you do set it lower you will throw DTCs with an open fan relay (been there, done that). Also, fan off temperatures tend to run about 15 degrees lower than the fan setting. What that means is you could be running the finger chopper a ton without it doing anything.

Few questions... I read through pages and pages but didn't see an anwer:
-Can the Tuner disable the TPMS function entirely ?
-I find the performance of the JK lacking mostly because it hesitates to downshift quick enough and will instead lug the engine until I'm almost at WOT before it will downshift. Can I make the transmission downshift earlier ?
-Can I make it allow me to disconnect the swaybar while in 2HI or 4HI ? I drive a lot of cross ditch/water runoff type obstacles that dont require 4wd or crawl speeds, but disconnecting the front sway would certainly keep the body from tipping side to side (I have the rear bar out).

I recently got the Superchips and am totally pleased with it.
With specs in sig, I went from 14.7 mpg average (hand calculated) on 87 octane. With the Superchips on the 93 octane setting, I'm now seeing 16.45 mpg average (hand calculated), even with this crappy winter gas.
The shifting is so much firmer its unbelievable, like a new tranny.
I've always been very light on the gas pedal in the Jeep, but the sotp acceleration feel is noticable even at low rpms.
Once I get my Rubi axles with 5.13's, I'm sure it will feel altogether like a diffferent vehicle.
Overall, best money I've spent on the JK.

- When you retune it it will change the shift points and have better downshifting on a quick tune. Yes you can ajust the shift points manually but if you have never done it before I would not recommend it. It also gives you better throttle response as well.
- No, you can't disconnnect in 2 or 4hi.

In my fp manual it says there is 93 performance 91 and 87 perfomance to choose from, but on my screen it only gives me 93 and 91 performance options no 87 performance. 87 octane is there though. Is 87 octane the same as 87 performance?
