Thanks for the link. I followed what is posted, but still have the error on the programmer. I uninstalled all superchips programs inlcuded the "Easy Update" then re-installed it hoping thar would clear it. I turned off my firewall in addition to the changes I made to other settings as suggested on the link JPop sent and ran the update once more. I sent SC an email and a technician replied telling me to turn off the firewall. I sent an email back letting him know I turned it off and am still getting the error - - no reply.
Anyone know how to reset the programmer or what I need to do? I am more than frustrated with all the time spent on this and no results.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'll give them a call. JPop, thanks for your help. Once I get this taken care of I'll load it up and report back. I have a trip to the mountains planned for next weekend and am anxious to see how it handles.

My Flashpaq does have the ability to activate my rear locker in 4HI but ONLY while it is connected to the Jeep and you have to activate the lockers from the Flashpaq itself. I'm disappointed about this but I still think this Flashpaq is worth every penny. I'm really hoping they update the Flashpaq to allow locking in 4HI just like 4LO - with the simple push of a button & without the Flashpaq connected!

Well, that sucks.
I was going to buy the superchips flashpaq, but there's no way I'm going to until they allow the lockers to be used in 4HI WITHOUT the flashpaq installed. So it was like a normal factory feature.

i set mine at 87 octane performance and when i was towing my sandrail i notice that in reverse the trans would chatter. i didnt have the superchip to change the setting to see if it was the setting that was the problem or the actual trans. so has anyone experience my problem?

As for the chatter in reverse I can't figure out how that would be related to the Flashpaq.

First step update the Flashpaq.
Go to "Additional Functions"
Go to "Advanced Features"
Go to "Axle Lock Enable"
It indicates that you can do front or rear, but only through the tuner. I only went to the Yes/No selection and picked no, since I don't need them locked atm.
I hope this helps!

Couldn't they write the program to where you don't have to have the tool plugged in? That is a turn off for me.
However, I still want the product.
