I love my JK but...
I hate the drive-by-wire and TPMS. Is there a programmer that will enable me to both improve the former and disable the latter with no telltale evidence that the dealer can detect? (I don't want to jeapordize my lifetime powertrain warranty). It's a 2008 with 6-speed transmission. Thanks for the help!

When I saw this title I thought "There is no but." Well, there is one tiny design thing. When the window is rolled all the way down, the knob lines up perfectly with my knee. So when the doors are on, I roll the window up just a bit.

You can remove the handle and put it on in a different position. Most auto parts stores sell the tool to remove it.

OR You Could do This;
Alright, so I know that this has been run into the ground, but I figured that I would offer up better explained directions.
Reason being, it took me a couple times to get mine disabled, but since then, I have talked to several friends on base and none of them were able to get it to work.
Here's exactly what i told them to do, it worked everytime(2 08's and 1 '09):
1. turn jeep on
2. set to 4hi
3. set parking brake
4. make sure steering wheel is centered
5. turn wheel to the right, 180 degrees, JEEP logo should be upside down at this point - hold ESP off button for 7 seconds, you may hear a chime at 5 seconds(and ESP OFF may show up on the speedo), but keep holding for 7 seconds!!!!
6. Turn wheel back to center then left 180 degrees, JEEP logo should be upside down at this point - hold ESP off button for 7 seconds, again, hold for 7 seconds!!!
7. turn back to center, and hold ESP for 7 seconds.
8. Turn Jeep off
The notable differences that my friends were getting confused on:
1. One of them was only turning 90 degrees on the wheel
2. All of them were seeing the 'ESP OFF' come up on the speedo and letting go of the button, not holding for the whole 7 seconds.
Hope this helps the people that have not been able to get this to work.

I've had the sprintbooster for a long time now. What a difference it makes.
Paired with my SC tune is a great combo,
Expensive though... If I were to go back another $600 or so could have regeared the diffs.
