4.0L OHV programmer
Ok first of all i will say i did a search but the results are extensive on this site for searches on programmer or tuner.
So this is what i need help with I have a '96 4.0l with a manual transmission. I am running 33 inch tires. I need to reprogram the computer to account for the larger tires. I know this can be done with a scan guage, but i don't want the added cost of performance tunes as my truck engine and transmission combo won't see any significant gains. I do plan on regearing the truck in the future.
So does anyone know of any engine programmers that just allow you to adjust for gears and tires and read engine codes? For some reason I think I remember seeing one for about $250.

superchips are programable for anything you add on your truck wheels intake exhaust ect.. and they also help with gas milage change the rev limiter and get rid of the speed cut off propabaly a little horses too I have a 97 4.0 ohv with one in it I dont think our years got the cool plug tunes this chip goes in the back off your computer.

I'm not sure what you're getting at.
You have a couple choices.
Superchips
Xcal (best option)
Diablosport (yet again not sure if it does tire size)
Scangauge won't do it.

I found what I was looking for:
Jet Chips Power Programmer - Speedo Pro
Now I just need to return the scanguage
All I need it for is programming the tire and gear sizes.

for the price of the jet chip you can spend an extra ~$50 and get a superchips programmer, which are a lot nicer and come witha variety of tunes, extra power, fuel economy and towing perf. you are already going to drop serious cash so why not get something in the same price range that can do what you need and alot more. if it were me id get a superchips, but thats just me and i dont argue with extra ponies and better mpg's but thats just me

Given the miles on my truck (about 120k)and the fact that I have a manual transmission I won't be able to see much in the way of HP gains. The ohv just doesn't respond well to simple mods. I emailed the website that is selling it to ask about their return policy. If they have one and it doesn't change the gear and tire size then I can jsut send it back.
