And my dealer told me that by doing it yourself it can void the warranty as well. Even when you put it back to stock settings when taking it in to get serviced you leave an electronic foot print showing it was altered. It depends on the dealer. As some have found out, lifting your Jeep may void it but others have had no problems with it. It's up to the discretion of the dealer.

well actually I do . Dealerships are notorious for bad information. There are some good ones but then again there are bad ones. Remember many of the employees at dealerships are not motorheads or even jeep enthusiasts. I actually live in the same town as Dave Harrington (AEV) his brother invented the procal and I stopped in the shop and asked about it. He did an eloquent job of explaining how it worked and why it did not leave a foot print because it did not change ecm. The areas that the procal changes are simply parameters that can be changed without getting into the ecm.

As for bad info from dealers, I know we all feel that way. I had to take a video of my non functioning rear LSD to prove to the dealer it wasn't working. THats after being told it was working fine to you don't have an LSD and then back to it's working fine. (Different dealership BTW) That can be extended to every auto parts retailer just about as well. Ever try getting a GM HEI coil for an AMC 360? Or have you ever been told you have a Dana 35 front axle in your 2011 JKU? (That last example was Oreillys) There's way too much of "if it's not in my computer I can't help you".
Thanks for the info.
