      Great question. I keep seeing vague product descriptions saying you can update it to do engine tunes.

  • @randalwarren109
    @randalwarren109 4 года назад

    I bought my wrangler used.
    Pretty much everything was stock on it
    The only thing on it was a 2.5 Inch Coil Spring Spacer lift kit.
    But everything else stock.
    I have more than enough clearance for 37 if I wanted.
    But I run 35's
    Should I keep the gear ratio stock on the Super Chip or up it to aquire the 35's I'm running.
    Still learning all this so help would be greatly appreciated.
    Just want to be sure if I up it using the Super Chip I won't ruin the stock gears

    Awesome review. Just a heads up for tire size adjustment it's best to have a gps with you to get the most accurate reading. I have 33's on my jeep and when I set my super hips to 33 it read wrong speed by a little bit. I had to lower mine to 32 to get the most accurate speed. Just a heads up incase you haven't tried that yet

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад

      That's an awesome point and I should have mentioned it in the video. We set our last jeep at 34.75. The tuner sets true height, which is always a little bit off from the actual tire size. You can actually research true diameter by brand online to see what you should set. Thanks for the comment!!! 👍🏼👌🏼

    • @CSR_Rubicon
      @CSR_Rubicon 8 лет назад +1

      +Moisty I didn't have what crawl tv is talking about but the way I figured out my tire size true height was I used a normal gps and kept adjusting my tire size til my speedo and mph on gps matched took only 3 trys. the only reason I did that is because even true tire size varies due to the fact how much psi you run in your tires how much weight ur vehicle is... for example two door or 4 door heavy bumper winch all that add up to slightly changing the tires a lil bit

      +Moisty your "true diameter" is 34.8, so it's not too far off.

  • @trueraider94
    @trueraider94 7 лет назад +2

    Correct me if I'm wrong, By adjusting my tire size using the Flashcal my speedometer and shift points will be reset, or would I have to upgrade to the Flashpaq for the shift points to be adjusted? Thanks for any info you can provide.

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад +1

      James Smith Hey, James! Unfortunately, it's the latter. The speedometer will be adjusted with the FlashCal, but to adjust any engine performance or shift points, it will have to be upgraded to the FlashPaq. Are you a veteran by any chance? They offer great military discounts if you contact Superchips directly. Hope this helps!

    • @trueraider94
      @trueraider94 7 лет назад +1

      Thanks for the quick response. I'm currently running the stock gears with a 4" lift with 35" tires. I'm not overly concerned with the speedometer being off, but was really hoping this device would improve the shift points. I've read conflicting articles across the internet on this issue. Some folks say it does recalibrate shift points and some say it doesn't. Thanks again for your expertise on this matter.

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад +1

      James Smith no problem! That sounds like the same setup that we're running. If you wait long enough, the software does go on sale to upgrade to a tuner. We purchased ours for $99

    • @trueraider94
      @trueraider94 7 лет назад +1

      Since we're running the same setup, did you adjust the shift points when you upgraded to the flashpaq? If so how did you know how to set them since you haven't made a gear change?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад +1

      James Smith We really need to make a video on the upgrade to the Flashpaq to demonstrate the differences. If we didn't work such long hours, there would be daylight to film it! Hate the winter... Anyways, the shift points were adjusted with the Flashpaq. Essentially, the tuner settings are based off of the fuel octane levels and when you select them, they adjust both the engine and trans control modules. It's Very straight forward! There is definitely a noticeable difference once you program the Jeep with the tuner.

    Great vid! I had a few questions. Does this come with the mileage saving tune? (Have you used it, does it help minimally?) and also is this something I can truly do on my own and just purchase it and plug it in, because a local shop is charging me $120 to install this and as a novice to Tuners, what should I do?

  • @ehobbs073
    @ehobbs073 8 лет назад +1

    Is worth the extra money for the flashpaq 3874 vs the flashcal 357? For a 2014 JKU Willys with a teraflex leveling lift (2" front and 1" back) and planning on 33s or 34s on 17in OEM wheels, minimal off-roading, nothing too aggressive. Thanks

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад

      Eric Hobbs In your case, I would say no. Is your Jeep a manual or automatic? If you do jump up the tire size any more , you might notice the trans working a bit harder and then it'll be worth upgrading. Otherwise, calibrate it and forget about it! 👍🏼

    Does it need to stay plugged in to the vehicle for shift points and speedometer adjustment for 35's?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад +2

      No - it reprograms your PCM and TCM when you have it plugged in, so once you have everything adjusted you can disconnect it and put it away.

  • @SouthWestFloridaLife

    @jerrybooker7818 8 лет назад +1

    good review I just bought one for my 2015 JK. do you know is the Flashcal locked so you can only use it on one vehicle.

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад +1

      Thanks for watching, Jerry! I'll have to look into that one. Our Flashcal has not captured our VIN and locked it like we expected. I'm sure it does once you upgrade to the flashpaq because that is proprietary software that they don't want people sharing for free. We'll do some digging and get back to you on it!

    So I'm wondering if you would use measured size instead listed 0n the tire. Many 33's and 35's run small?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад +1

      Yes - you will need to use measured size. Almost all tires above 31" are going to run a bit smaller.

I flash it and dont go off road right away will it lock them in not sure how it will work . Basically if flashed then I put in 4 hi and lock lockers they will lock in and if I unlock lockers they will unlock?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  6 лет назад +1

      Nasser Al-momen The FlashCal would help you out with any calibration items, such as speedometer, one-touch lane assist, daytime running lights, etc... You can also still read and clear DTCs, which is really nice.

  • @rkuehner1012
    @rkuehner1012 3 года назад

    So, I'm curious...Once you've made your tweaks to the Jeep, do you have to leave it plugged into the port all the time, or can you unplug it and store the programmer till you need it again?

    • @EarthSurferUSA
      @EarthSurferUSA 3 года назад

      Somebody died when getting out of their Jeep with it still plugged in. The cord tripped him and he landed on the pavement head first. So after that, they made it so you unplug it.

  • @mirrorimageproject6611
    @mirrorimageproject6611 7 лет назад +1

    Love your channel you make it fun a informative. Question I have a 6 speed manual transmission with 33s 285/70/17s and after GPS'ing my speedo for a few days it only off my 1 mph. I was thinking i really don't need this to recal my shift points because I have a 6 speed manual. Is that correct?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад +1

      MIRROR IMAGE PROJECT Hey man! Thanks so much! You're totally correct. With a manual trans, there's no transmission tuning necessary. Calibration is still applicable, but within 1 mph is on point! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад

      I do, actually! Have you set it up on the computer yet? We pulled ours right out of the box and plugged it in and the Jeep lost comms with the TCM, so the Jeep wouldn't shift out of 1st. 😐 If you haven't done that, start there. 👍🏼

    • @mander76pergite
      @mander76pergite 8 лет назад +1

      Thanks for your quick response.
      Yes I plugged in to my computer and did a update, but still it can't find my vehicle.
      Do you know if I can reset the flashcal and start all over?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад

      We'll, if you bought it new then it shouldn't be vin locked to another Jeep... are you able to make calibration adjustments or does it not work at all? If I remember correctly, before we upgraded to the FlashPaq, it wasn't popping up with our VIN when I plugged it in.

    • @mander76pergite
      @mander76pergite 8 лет назад +1

      I bought it new from Morris 4x4 and they can't help me. So I have been trying to get in touch with the flashcal support with email and phone calls, but no response at all, been trying for 3 days now.
      When I plug it in and go to options, it says, can't find your vehicle, call the customer service. So I haven't been able to do anything with my jeep. So now I have a customized jeep that the speedometer, tire pressure, and gears (automatic) doesn't work correctly,

  • @edscsc1709
    @edscsc1709 7 лет назад

    I have 16 JKU Wrangler and Flashpaq 3876. I have 35" tires, 3.5" lift. HD front and rear bumper with front winch and stinger. I have tuned to 91 octane and am using 93 octane gas. My gear changes are still a bit off, even though mpg has improved to 14, up from 12-13. I have done nothing to my gears, except what the flashpaq may have done during the tune. How can I improve the gear changes?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад

      Ed SCSC1 The flashpaq only helps the shift points. Is your JKU a Sahara? A low gear ratio with 35s can make it drive like dog crap and unfortunately, the only way to fix that is by matching your gears to the size tires you're running.

    • @edscsc1709
      @edscsc1709 7 лет назад

      No. Just a Wrangler.

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад +1

      Ed SCSC1 Okay. The sport models have 3.73 gears, which is still low for 35s. If that's your end goal for tire size, it'd be worth the investment to regear. We have the factory 4.10s in the Rubicon, but are planning to regear before we go up to 37s.

  • @MrTierhog774
    @MrTierhog774 7 лет назад +1

    Any benefit to using this for rubicon on 4.10 with 35s?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад

      Tierhog Since that's our setup as well, I can say yes. Regardless of the gearing, you'll need to recalibrate if you make any changes. The speedometer will show about 5-6 mph off with 4.10s and 35s. We've since upgraded to a FlashPaq, so now we have engine and trans tuning as well.

    • @MrTierhog774
      @MrTierhog774 7 лет назад

      CRAWL TV ahhh ok. Did you notice any improvement with just the trans correction? It's fine. Just curious as to transmission "correction".

    • @mander76pergite
      @mander76pergite 8 лет назад +1

      I talked to Morris and they can't help me. But I finally got in touch with support on superchips and I have emailed them my problem with pictures but no response back, and I sent them a email last Wednesday. And now my engine light has start to show, I don't know if that have something to do with my jeep gearing weird because my 35" wheels?

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад

      Try clearing everything from your Jeep if you can, re-loading the software from your computer, and then reconnecting it to your Jeep. Hopefully Superchips gets back to you soon.

    • @mander76pergite
      @mander76pergite 8 лет назад

      CRAWL TV unfortunately I already tried that, and my engine light is gone. so my only hope right now is the superships support, but they haven't done much. If I haven't heard anything in the end of this week I don't think they will help. So honestly I don't know what to do.

    • @CRAWLTV

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  7 лет назад +4

      JediMasterJF Gunny, the FlashCal does need to be registered and updated on a computer first. We hooked it up to our Jeep prior to doing that and it lost comms with the TCM and then it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear, so it's important to not skip that step, but the setup is very quick and easy. Coming up on four years since our close friend crashed in Afghanistan. We both served with him flying the KC-135s. He stays with us when we go Jeeping.

    Will that help with mpg's? I am only getting 13.5-14 mpg on a 2016 jku rubi on 4 inch lift and 35's

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад

      If the tire size and gear ratio are incorrect, then it's reading the wrong MPGs anyways. It may make a small difference in MPGs because it adjusts the shift points, but I haven't checked yet.

    • @jasper_colorado
      @jasper_colorado 8 лет назад

    • @CRAWLTV
      @CRAWLTV  8 лет назад

      +Jasper Bowman Alright... I have a better answer for you now. To adjust shift points, you'd have to upgrade your FlashCal software to the Flashpaq. You can purchase it online at Superchips.com if you want to do that.

    • @MrFivepointfivesix
      @MrFivepointfivesix 7 лет назад

      you need to measure the Actual" tire size" not what it says on the side of the tire, because it will give you a false speedometer reading and you will have sluggish power if not programed to the ACTUAL TIRE SIZE.
