So ... any new update on HPtuners or something from our Northern Neighbors?

Any word on a tune... I’m debating on adding diesel wrangler to before they kill it.
Why cant they just plug in a tuner, like other diesel truck tuners?? I wouldn't be comfortable handing over my ECU. Also, any idea the cost of an aftermarket ECU, and flashing it to your vehicle?
Full delete in the works, I've posted this in another thread but there are several going on.
Always seems to break down into an environmental debate instead of talking about the Jeep.
The piggy back tuners like banks and AFE just modify boost and fuel pressure. I don't think they are capable of disabling stuff like the EGR,DEF/SCR. I think the reason why they can't just send you a file and reflash it through the OBDII port is due to security restrictions of newer ECUs. That might change later on down the line after the computer gurus have more time with it.Why cant they just plug in a tuner, like other diesel truck tuners??

Some of the Ford and Chevy Diesels, 2014+ years, had their EGR flaps closed, by tuners. I knew people that did this. But, since the Feds came down on a few TV celeb diesel tuners, hard, I think that most are nervous now.The piggy back tuners like banks and AFE just modify boost and fuel pressure.

I am not an expert by any means, that's just my understanding at the moment.
New ECU's are encrypted so tough to program in the vehicle. If a big enough demand someone will figure it out eventually.The piggy back tuners like banks and AFE just modify boost and fuel pressure.

I guess it's not necessary a matter of capability then just a matter of EPA compliance.Some of the Ford and Chevy Diesels, 2014+ years, had their EGR flaps closed, by tuners.

Very nice. People need to see if they can retune them with the EGR closed, and the DPF ripped out.
This looks very interesting. Power gains while keeping emissions controls in place - a win/win.
Depends on what you get, the AFE and Banks tuners can just be removed and that's it.It awesome to see a tune for the jeep, but what happens if you need to revert it back to the stock tune?
"TEXAS" No testing here.Depends on what you get, the AFE and Banks tuners can just be removed and that's it.
If you go full delete and ECM flash that would be more difficult. I wouldn't even consider a delete unless you live in a place without emmisons testing.
