Decided to keep my Flashpaq and tried the tow tune a couple days ago. I had been having pinging on the 87 tune.

The tow tune feels pretty good and I haven't heard it ping running premium gas...

Crawl mode is for off-road only and lowers the power band and takes away the skinny pedal...

DO NOT try the crawl mode on the road...

Off road only... trust me I have done it a couple of times to get literally across the street to a servo to air up (there compressor is faster than mine) and it’s very sluggish and foot needs to be to the floor...

But off road it works and absolute treat...

Oh yeah!! second day for me on tow tune. Drive to work was at a comfortable 75mph and on 33s keepin the flow with traffic in the LEFT lane!!. I am running premium gas. RPMS at 1800 and been watching the MPG climb steadily from 18 to 19.6.

I used to struggle to make 65 even with my old 245s and using the 87 and 91 performance tunes. Gas mpg was steadily dropping backk then.

Tow tune for good!!

Was thinking of using this mode next time I head to Rausch Creek. But sometimes there even 20 mph jaunts are the norm between trails. Sounds like it would be great for crawling but maybe holding the line up during those 20mph speed runs?

Is there a full list of everything you can set/change with the Flashpaq? I am taking the Jeep in for some testing and tuning next week and the tuner asked me the question, and I honestly dont have a clue I've only ever used towing and performance tunes, but have noticed a whole lot of other options.

Thank you Scott, is the shift point option new? Works with 2009 JK 3.8 Auto I presume?
Cost?

Sorry, I got two posts crossed. The Advanced trans feature costs $39.99 as an upgrade.
