Default Diablo intune was a wash!

Well bought a lot of add ons this week and the one I was most eager to use caused my jeep computer to have issues!
Followed everything step for step took 2 hours to upgrade the intune with all the "fixes" then went to my jeep feeling a little worried about doing the tune and that took an hour and a half of turn on key turn off key unplug intune plug into of and load a new tune for your jeep plug back in to jeep do this do that!
Wow after all was said and done it was an hour and a half to load the crawler tune and in doing so I lost all fuel peddle response and my cooling fans were not recognized by the ECM.
I forced my stock tune and hope to heck its all fixed as I have a 6 hour drive to work on Sunday and it well drive me nuts not to have my jeep with me up there.

Give diablosport a call! The unit could be faulty? I'm using the trinity and my first unit I was going to get was faulty but thanks to the guys I got it from checked it out before they sent it to me.

My diablo sport in tune didnt work, I returned it. The product isn't fully developed, they say it will work for a 2012 wrangler but apparently it won't work for a 2012 6speed, no matter what tune I uploaded I would get a dead gas pedal

Is it worth getting for the 2012 auto?

I had the same problem so I sent it back. I lost confidence in the product and wasn't comfortable with it messing with my ECM. It seems they can't get it to work with the manual jeeps.

I have Trinity, & it's ok. I haven't noticed a huge gain running the 93 tune.

IIRC, there was an issue w/the manual jk's, but I thought they had it cleared up(you may want to check the Diablo forum).

I took it back tried everything on the intune and it's a neat little unit. Should have known it was to soon and done way more research.
I would buy one again when the bugs are worked out but I think next time I'll go with one that well allow me to run my lockers in 2w and 4H as well.

I think I might get the AEV Procal and wait awhile for all the bugs to be worked out.

In my opinion the Procal is a must when lifting and adding bigger tires. Helped mine out alot going from stock to 35s and then to 37s. Not so much in performance but in getting the right shift points and so on.
