i have 2800 miles on my 09. I have read that the computer takes 5000-7000 miles to set in to perform its best. Should I wait until then to purchase SC?

Default TPMS and Lockers in 4-Hi

Hi Everyone,

I'm holding off order the Superchips product until it has the TPMS and 4-Hi lockers capability.

I'm grateful for the information shared on this forum. If you pick up the latest 4Wheel Parts magazine and read the advertisement for Superchips, you will be led to believe that these capabilities are available in the current product.

For those who have the Superchip product, I hope you will post when these capabilities become available.

Thanks

Jeff

I'm 99% sure that lockers in 4-hi is already there. I know i've seen in the flashpaq screens although I haven't messed with it.

It is there but my flashpaq says my module doesn't support it

They said that maybe next week they'll release the crawl and offroad tune

But they don't know why it won't lock in 4hi

Is that programmer one of the brands required to have a better air cleaner or exhaust system. I noticed you said you had headers and those are on my list as well. Thanks for the review. Well done

I don't quite understand this... were you running the higher octane mode with a lower octane fuel? If so, that makes sense.

But if you were pinging with a higher octane fuel settling, running higher octane... that doesn't sound right.

For those living at a higher altitude (like me at the very minimum, 3500ft), you can certainly get away with a lower octane fuel at a higher octane mode. I plan on purchasing this Flashpaq and I'll be sure to post up some real results.

If it can improve the throttle response and give me just a tad more power, I totally agree... all the extras are just a bonus. I think there's much more power to be had in the 3.8 than we've seen yet, without boosting it or swapping it out for a Hemi.
