Thorton Chip Tuning for 3.6L Pentastar Engine

[MudderNuker]

I got one of those a couple months back and could never get the blue light to illuminate, I sent it back and they offered to replace it with a new one but I declined. Did you notice an improvement or anything else? How was your gas mileage after installing it?

I had the same I issue. One of the connectors was connected incorrectly. I tested it towing my Geo Pro camper. With it turned off the Gladiator would downshift frequently, hunt for gears and rev the engine sky high. Turned on the gear hunting is much less severe and I can hold gears longer. Without towing you feel the engine more responsive and you can climb hills better. There are some hills that before the module I had to climb on 4th and now I can do it on 5th. So there is definitely an improvement. Gas mileage is pretty much the same. I am running 35" tires. I am at 7,300 elevation which hurts engine power by 21% and all roads are mostly hills. I also have a rock basher exhaust that may help a little. It sounds really nice.

All good to hear, I’llmost likely be giving it another shot in a month or two.

Since when can we tune the GEPC-5 ECM?
Competent tuners were able to squeeze almost 50 HP from the earlier 3.6's with the GEPC-2 for around $500-$1000
I don't believe this at all
