I had a JET all it did was make my check engine light come on so I failed emissions. Sent it back 3 times and the third they refunded my money.

Yeah, I had a JEt chip in my 2000 Wrangler and it did the same thing. More interested in the programmers and what they can really do for a vehicle. Specifically a Cherokee.

Cool

Yeah, I'm currently saving for the Superchips® Flashpaq Programmer, hoping for some positive results. I've not heard a good thing about the chips, unless you're putting into a car. I asked about this once on here, and I got a single response about a man who's buddy bought one and couldn't figure it out, and basically gave up on it. One man's incompetency won't deter me, but if I start to hear of all sorts of negatives, I may back out as well.

I'm all ears as usual though for any suggestions and information.

AutoAnything.com has a nice selection of programmers. The Hypertech Max Energy Programmer looks good. Got some good reviews on the site for cherokees. Are those reviews real?

Can't believe that this isn't something more haven't tried! Cost could be one reason. Anyone....

Well, I guess I'll have to reply and let everyone knows how it went once I purchase mine hopefully next month. I'm amazed as well no one has tried these! Makes me think I'll be buying the first one manufactured, lol.
