I don't have one…I would help it I did.

Sorry I could not be of more help. I’ll get you on the trail if you ever need it. I already owe you one.

All the calibrators are keyed to vin (ProCal, Hypertech, Superchips, Etc.) I would love to let you use mine, but unless anyone is willing to put theres back to stock it wont work. The companies did it on purpouse to prevent just such a thing as your asking, they want you to buy their product, not bowrow someone else's. Sort of shitty, but I understand their reasoning.

Well on the bright side if you go with the hypertech, it will also let you change the axle ratio if you regear in the future. Also if you have a gps you can get the speed on that till you get a programmer.

Procal lets you do all that for $200 less. The only bennifit of the Hypetech is the performance tuning (it works, not a whole lot, but still noticable).

I have been using it and like it alot. DOn't get me wrong, as far as I have experienced and heard all the other programers perform as advertised, but the procal is nice for a few things.. I keep it in my glovebox because on top of your adjustments for tires, gears, etc. You can use it to give high idle for winching and a few other things. Takes about 45 seconds to set the switches and less than 2 seconds to actually program.

I drove for nine months before breaking down to get the Hypertech.
Speedo was a minor annoyance, but correcting the auto shifting points was mine main reason.
