Hi !
Ok so this is where Im at.... I've been on here maybe a month now and learned a lot from many of you.
We have 3 Gladiators .... 2 Rubicons, and a Sport S Max Tow........and also a 2018 JL Wrangler UL Sport.
(Pictures below)
The background story is..... in the last 2 weeks we have played "musical chairs" with the wheels and tires of all four vehicles.
My new factory Rubicon wheels and tires went on to our sons Sport S Gladiator when I got my new wheels and 35's.
Wife saw it and said " I WANT THAT! "..... and a few days later she also got new (different) wheels with 35"s on her Rubicon.
Then, her factory 33's (tires only) went on our other sons Wrangler. It already has aftermarket wheels.
So now, everyones speedometers are off.
The dealer the we just purchased the two new ones at said..... "it $300 PER JEEP for us to download software from MOPAR and re-flash your computer for the new size tires this will fix everything and it will all be accurate."
So to get a second opinion, I called another Jeep dealer here in the Phoenix area and talked with a service advisor and he said " huh.... never heard of anything like a software flash, I'd tell you to look aftermarket... I think Superchips makes something to adjust your speedo to the new tire size."
Then all of you on here recommend the Tazer / Tazer Mini. (I don't know if its two different models, or if its the same thing) but I've seen the videos on you tube and it has to be married and left in the jeep. Also when I checked today on Amazon its $329 each.
I have no real interest in changing any of my factory settings beyond getting the speedometer accurate.... and my last experience with an aftermarket tuner was on a Eco-boost F150 and it was bad!!! It never ran right with backfiring and check engine lights, it was never quite right after that. I do understand that was completely different because it was software engine tunes .... not the same thing... but since then, I don't really like plugging into and changing the factory software and leaving it on 24/7.
SO... finally on to my questions.
Have you ever heard of a MOPAR software speedo flash or had it actually done to your jeep?
Would I have to buy 4 Tazers?
Anybody with any info on a Superchips programer?
Is there any way to use one Tazer to adjust all four speedos and then remove it completely from the vehicles?
Am I being stupid about being nervous with using and leaving the Tazer installed while the vehicle is essentially new with only 750 miles?
Any other ideas or suggestions are appreciated!
