I have an 08..........but it made a huge difference on mine. Im running 37's with stock gears and its not bogging down on me on the highways. Last trip I took it was averaging 17.5 to 18.1 MPG. In the city I get more like 16.4

that's a secret (talk to JJ3381)

and you'll definitely notice a difference with an auto because of the adjusted shift points... it'll help your gas mileage tremendously. and of course it'll correct your speedo, too. :thumbup:

I work at Hypertech and as a manufacturer I can't sell to the public but you are more than welcome to come over and you can demo any tune you like and if you like it I can suggest local shops.

They do more for the JK with all of their electronics. They are able to change set points of the fuel system with them this way. The TJ's don't use the computer for the fuel system as much or the transmissions (if I remember right). But I'm sure Jim will correct me shortly!!! :doh:

I tested one on mine.

I could tell a difference! Great product and good guy to work with on the demo. But it was a demo as he already said. I took it off and haven't put it back in since I haven't purchased one yet. :doh:

I don't have a tune for the 2.5ltrs but we cover the 4.0 and 3.8ltr engines.

Gabe is refering to the electronic throttle body, and the emission delay on the JK.

First thing I bought for my TJ. could tell definite difference but I would think the JK would show a more drastic improvment

It does... There is NO WAY I want to go back to stock tune!!! It really helped power, shift points (I've got an automatic), corrected my speedo for the 33s, and mileage! :hifive:
