Default Programer help!

Hey guys! Is there anyone in the southern Wisconsin area with a programmer that can help me out? I have a 2011 JK Sport, auto trans, I just installed a teraflex leveling kit, 17x9 procomps and 295/70R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I need help recalibrating my speedometer, odometer, and idk if a programmer can help with shifting but I feel like my JK is struggling, especially on the highway. So who's down to help a fellow jeeper out?? Please... I don't have the $$$ to buy my own programmer at the moment.

FYI, a programmer can only be linked to one vehicle at a time (VIN LOCKED). So in essence it can't be loaned out. If someone would let you borrow theres, they would have to return their vehicle back to stock settings before you install it in your Jeep and vise versa if you were to return the programmer back to the owner. Do you have enough funds to buy a ProCal instead. They run about $150 and can do the recalibration, minus the performance tune such as Superchips, Hypertech, Bully dog, etc...

Also, have you tried driving with the OverDrive turned off? That should help a bit with the struggling issue you are having...

Maybe a trip to the dealership to have you computer recalibrated. A programmer becomes vin locked to a vehicle. The programmer people did that so guys couldn't share a programmer. You may have to wait until you have enough scratch to buy your own.

I've looked at a few programmers that mentioned the Vin Lock, I wasn't sure if they were all like that, and turning off over drive helped a bit so that's for the tip! I'll have to give the dealer a call and see what they can do for me
