Default the best programmer for the money and can it disable tpms sensors?

I was wondering what programmer is the best for the money. I have a 2010 unlimited 6spd 373 and i just purchased 35's and a 4 inch lift and i want to get some of my hp and mpg back as well as fix my speedo. I was also told that I don't need TPMS on the wheels cause you can disable that with one of the programmers?

Superchips
Hypertech
Diablo

AEV ProCal (not a tuner)



Look around for yourself to gather opinions. But, the Procal is the cheapest, and the Superchips has the best feedback on performance gains. The Diablo is still fairly new but sounds good, waiting for more feedback on it.

would you need the tpms in the wheels still? it says that it adjusted pressure but doesn't say it disables them?

The ProCal and Superchips can turn tpms off, don't need them in the wheels. I don't know if the other two can.

From what I've read, if you have pinging issue with the superchips programmer they are resolving the issue on a case by case basis, you just have to send them a help ticket. I have no pinging with mine. There support appears to be excellant. There is a option that you download to disable the TPMS at no cost on their website.

If you want to retain your TPMS- I have a set of 4 for sale- brand new never used- $60. I bought it for mine but realized afterward that I don't have it from the factory.

thanks, but if i can disable them and get the light off my dash i will be happy. sounds like i'm going to go with superchips now I just have to wait for a 4x4 show to get a good price. what sucks is i was just just at the 4x4 jamboree show in bloomsburg pa and I should've priced one up there.
