Having said that, I have the 4LO set to -50% and love it! Makes 4LO much more manageable with the 4:1 rubi transfer case. Soooooo easy to crawl now.

I had my 4LO set to -50% and was in some mud yesterday and my hot oil warning came on. I figured that setting may have been too low for spinning the tires and getting the speed to get through some of the mud holes. Any idea what the standard setting is....my guess is zero. So I think -50% might be good for crawling but not mudding.
PS It would be great if Hypertech could fix this surging issue. It is terrible.

Hypertech
It is getting close to time to sell it and get the Superchips Flashpaq and the Sprint Booster.......more money, but hey.....at least it works without the lag/surge
Keep in mind that this surge only happens with the automatic transmission. The last time I spoke to a tech at Hytertech about it, they told me that it was something to do with the torque converter locking up..... but 2 1/2 months later and no call back as promised and no updates......
i love the new features of the Hypertech, but for an auto trans vehicle -- at this time i would advise people to stay away until / if Hypertech fixes the issues they are aware of..........

It seems that Hypertech has put this issue on the "back burner"........

My lag is throttle tip in. At about 6mph it surges. After you've driven it a bit, you get used to it and know how to drive it. I have to say I'm happy with it. Is it 100% perfect? Not yet. Seems aside from this one issue there are really no other down sides.
