I wish I would have known you were wanting a Flashpaq a couple of months ago. Sold mine to a forum member in OK.........

I would have been happy with anything over 14 MPGs ......... and that was without any added weight from bumpers/armor/beer gut/armor/winch/tires/etc. But I have been known to push the skinny pedal a tad bit from time to time.

@ monkey nipple button.

I think the only way to re-cal for bigger tires/gears is with an aftermarket tuner like the Flashpaq, Procal, etc..... Not sure if the stealership can/will do it or not.

Have you reset your mpg reading recently? I reset mine @ every fill-up. That way, you get a more accurate reading.

ok, good info i guess i need to spring for a flashpaq soon, they are all about the same price for features right? quadratech superchips is probably my first choice...

yep, re-set mine at fill-up, but im thinking he needs calibrating before i would bet on that number....

I bought mine from David @ Northridge 4x4. You might keep an eye on the For Sale section here. Usually one or two for sale. If you buy a used Flashpaq, just make sure the previous owner has restored their Jeep back to stock, so that the Flashpaq is unlocked from their Jeep. Otherwise, you will have to pay Superchips $$ to unlock it for you.
