Santa came early to Chicago. I got my Gen2 today! It was boxed well and everything looks like it made it.
I worked on downloading the stock ECM config tonight. It is somewhat a pain to connect to a PC, update the software, etc., but not too bad if you know your way around a computer.
The Diablo is not as easy as Superchips to connect to a PC. It has a 9-pin serial connector whereas SC has a USB port. Most PC's don't have a serial port now days, so I had to use a USB to serial adapter. Fortunately I had one. The Diablo cannot get power from the PC either. It needs to be connected to the Jeep or powered with an external power adapter that does not ship with the kit. My power cable hasn't made it yet, so I had to update the software while in the Jeep, which was a pain since I don't have internet in the garage!
My ECM also had a newer version of the software than Diablo supports. I had to downgrade it before doing anything else. The version they support on my 2008 is 05187486AG and I had 05187486AH.
I sent my stock ECM file to RIPP to do their magic. I will do a full update on the entire process when I get the system installed.

Quick update: Ripp turned the file around lightning fast. I had it first thing this morning, so I decided to tackle the install. 8-hours later and I'm not done. I have a few questions I need to bounce off of RIPP before I continue.
I am documenting everything and will post the complete install when I'm finished. I do have to give a big shout out to RIPP. These guys did their homework. The system bolts in like it should have been there from the factory. The quality of manufacturing is superb.

Thought you guys would like an update. I emailed RIPP my questions at about 7pm EST. They responded in minutes! Those guys are awesome! I got what I needed and just fired up the Jeep. It sounds like a turbine under the hood, but all appears to be good. No codes, leaks or smoke! I will drive it tomorrow and let you all know how it goes.
