Default About to take my Jeep to dealer...

...for it's 15K service which is pretty comprehensive. Should I reset my Computer to stock from my Superchips programming? What would happen if I didn't? Would this void me out? Thanks in advance.

save your $$$ and change your own axle oil. its super easy... i would NEVER take my jeep for a recommended svc unless it was a timing belt.

all u need is 75-90 syn gear oil, drain pan and 3/8" rachet. oh and a rag for mess!

Superchips has a FAQ right on the main page of their site...


Q. What do I do if I am taking the vehicle to the dealer?

A. Always, make sure you take the tuning out of your vehicle and return it to stock before going to the dealer for any kind of service. There is a fee you will have to pay, if you leave the tuning in your vehicle and the dealer flashes over it.

Thanks and normally I would do the work but concerned about warranty issues since it is still on the new side. Eventually with all the mods I've done and will be doing, this may be moot point anyway.

Please give Wayolife's post at the top of the Modified section a look. Unfortunately Chrysler Corporation will take any excuse to void your warranty for any modification (whether it is legal to void it or not) and it is up to you to spend many hours of your time fighting to get what you deserve. It only takes 5 minutes to remove the Superchips programming I would do it.

Agree. WOL got a raw deal. I've had my rig in for oil changes after being lifted and no one has said anything to me, yet.

I was waiting for a comment like that but it never came. I dropped off this morning and picked it up and no comments of my mods. I guess they like taking money from me for the services too much to make a big deal about it, until I have to get warranty work done I'm sure.
