Did the update for the tire size and now at highway speed the speedometer is 2-3mph faster than the GPS. Also did the firmer shift upgrade and it now clunks going into reverse, can't tell any difference going forward. If my mileage takes a nose dive as I'm now suspecting, I'll be one unhappy, broke but smarter van owner. I think I just got a very expensive single car ODB II reader.)-:}

Well that's a bummer. Mine did nothing but good things for me, but I have 31's and the speedo and shift points were way off. Which model did you buy?

I got the JET 15015 (google it).. Maybe if I do more to the van in the future it will have some effect. Might also do something if I did the premium fuel tune but I really don't want to pay the price for premium.

Are you able to undo the changes you made, and return the PCM to factory config?

Very easy to undo it all. I will be playing with it a little just to see what I can come up with.

How has the JET programmer worked overall? I will need to correct for the 4.10 gear change as I am not going to larger tires any time soon.
