I'm trying to rush to 4WheelParts tomorrow to grab a Flashcal to fix the TPMS from adding my 35's to get rid of the check light and fix the speedometer. Is it literally just a plug and play as it looks? I also don't think the tire shop put the sensor back whenever they swapped the tires, so where could I find where that is to hook it up again?

Pick a weekend and bring your tires out, we'll move over the sensors. Check engine light is an easy fix too.

Go ProCal!! Had a flashcal and couldn't update it. I Called the tech support and they said it was computer issue and I should go to nearest dealer for an update. Guess what the dealer could NOT do?..... Yep they couldn't update either.

Not to hijack this thread but having 4.88 gears installed today and I installed 35's a couple weeks ago. I got rid of the TPS when I lifted jeep and added 33's four years ago, I just ignored the idiot light. So I have a manual 3.8, do I need to get one of these tuners to reset speedo and turn off the TPS and will It benefit me in any other ways?

I am not a fan of TPMS personally, especially when it comes to offroad vehicles. However we stock and sell lots of them. Not many for the Jeepers. I would suggest at least the Flashcal to "turn off the TPMS" you could use this time to get the Flashpaq to have some tuning options. It is good to dial in tire size and if you change gearing that can be fixed for proper mph and tranny shifting. It is simple plug and play procedures for the Jeep and programmer updates.

You mentioned tuners? If you want performance 'tuning' also, the flashpaq is a much more expensive version of the flashcal. (the flashcal can be upgraded online with a download if you later decide you want tuning). The hp/tq boost is fairly minimal. You may feel it seat-of-the-pants, but if you are expecting v-8 power you will be disappointed.
The procal is simple. Set the dipswitches and plug it in, honk honk, you're done. The flashcal and flashpaq need internet connections and updates, and as I found with both the flashcal and flashpaq, if you have an issue, superchips tech support royally sucks. But they do have a nice screen to look at.
