Had my jeep in for service. switched back to the stock settings. asked the dealer how much to lower the TPMS settings. They initially told me $50 and I was so tired of seeing it I agreed. I picked it up and they had lowered the settings and decided not to charge me!!!

I re-installed the 91 tune and no problems! now I have the flashpaq advantages and no friggen idiot light!

 

and rightfully so in my opinion. Just amazes me some of the shit people will charge for. Good to hear.

 

I've been trading e-mails with Ron Rapp at Superchips this morning. Here's his response concerning the TPMS feature: "legal end" concerns me. What happens if they never get it worked out? They advertise that TMPS management is an included feature, yet how long has it been promised?

I'm beginning to suspect that this feature will never be delivered.

 

Sounds like they could end up on the wrong end of a false advertising class-action suit to me.

 

Oh all the pain and anguish of a light coming on.

There is some precedence here with Superchips on another platform. They offered to refund peoples money with the return of the product when a feature became undeliverable. The same may come to be with TPMS, although I believe they are still attempting to deal with the legal side of things.

The legal consequences are quite steep and the law was put into effect as a result of the Firestone/Ford issues which caused over 100 deaths. So disabling or changing TPMS settings shouldn't be taken lightly by any third party manufacturer. At minimum there will likely be some sort of warning that states for off road use only.

Anyway, a single wrongful death suit if they don't jump through all the legal hoops could wipe out a company. I'm sure they'll work hard to get it in as part of the feature set, and if not it wouldn't be for lack of trying.

 

Ordered mine from Dave at Northridge yesterday. Looking forward to seeing some improvements!

 

I am currently considering getting one of the Superchip programmes but currently have a ProCal. Would it be possible to turn of the TPMS with the ProCal and then do all other adjustments with the Flashpaq? The only bothersome part for me with the TPMS is that it makes the miles odometer light much brighter at night even when you turn the dimmer all the way down.

 

I would think it would work if you did your Flashpaq tune first, and then the ProCal TPMS adjustment. Doing the ProCal first might trigger the Flashpaq to see an unrecognized vehicle calibration and not install.

I'm also curious as to what sort of legal documentation or verbiage came with the ProCal, or if they just hid behind the "for off road use only" disclaimer.

 

The procal is essentialy a "ghost" the flashpaq wont even know it is there from what I have been told.

I won't be trying the tow setting again unless I'm actually towing something. I was very disappointed in its performance. It runs sooooo much better on the 91 and 93 octane tunes. As a matter of fact, I drove it for a few hundred miles in the how setting and got fed up and pulled over and switched to 91 octane tune.

Maybe, its just my Jeep, but it ran worse than stock in the tow setting. It had no top end power at all.
