This second product by Superchips is their F5 IN-CAB Tuner which will transform your Jeep Wrangler into something more.

Available for 2007 to the 2008 models of the Jeep JK, this small device is packed with a load of features, which, if you are new, will keep you occupied for hours.

Apart from the rare chance of you receiving a faulty tuner, this one is an excellent choice if you want to go all out and customize each and everything down to the lights’ action on your Jeep Wrangler.

Here comes another popular product among Jeep JK owners, one that has over 500 reviews which have to say mostly positive stuff about it.

Well, with this product by Bully Dog, you can rest assured that your tuning needs will be fulfilled to give you a whole new level of experience.

Although it works with the Jeep JK, this programmer is compatible with other vehicles from various manufacturers such as Ford, Nissan, and Dodge.

Their main feature is that it has pre-set, which automatically applies pre-given changes to the vehicle.

They can range from economy modes to full-on performance modes; you can choose either. But that’s not it.

You can also take manual control, which allows for more precise tuning. You can save up to ten custom files, which means you can make and apply your own settings wherever you want.

The clear and concise heads-up display fits in all the required data you would need. Mount it anywhere inside; you can keep yourself up to date with your vehicle’s performance.

These come with a one-year warranty which accounts for any problems or manufacturing defects that may come to the surface.

They make you eligible for a free replacement within the given time period.

Only if the brand had worked just as harder on their website as they did with this one would it have been a brilliant buy for anyone, no matter how new they are to the world of tuning.

5. DiabloSport 8245 inTune i3 Platinum Performance Programmer

We are already halfway through this article, and if you are still reading, you must know how close the competition has been up till now.

Each tuner performs very similarly, with all of them getting mostly positive reviews and ratings. The same can be applied for the 8245 by DiabloSport.

This platinum performance programmer is designed for those people who want to get as much horsepower from their Jeep JK as possible.

Yes, it’s designed for performance enthusiasts who don’t like to mess with hardware, as buying parts is a risky move.

So, why not go the safe route and purchase these, as it allows for low fuel consumption while significantly improving performance and acceleration.

These will be suitable for all those adjustments for you, whether it be tire size, battery voltage, or gear ratio.

A data logger feature allows for storing data from various components to ensure the tuning is working properly.

You can also check to see if there are any faulty components in the vehicle itself. The brand has also ensured that its product is legal in all states in the USA.

It is 50 state SMOG legal, so you can take it anywhere with the complete peace of mind that you will not break any laws.

DiabloSport is also kind enough to provide a one-year warranty with their product.

The warranty starts from the date of purchase, and it will cover any faults that may occur due to improper workmanship.

If a fault does arise, then you are eligible for a free-of-cost replacement.

The difficulty in upgrading really makes this programmer a pain to use. If you manage to upgrade the software, I can assure you it will be smooth sailing after that.

6. Superchips TrailDash 2 In-CAB Tuner

Well, another Superchips product got a place on this article.

I don’t even have to tell you how good their products are, as this is evidence that no brand can outperform than in terms of versatility and features.

In sixth place is the TrailDash 2 In-CAB Tuner, which is compatible with even older Jeep Wrangler JK models, ranging from 2003 to 2014.

If you have a slightly older version of the truck, there is no better option. The “2” that comes at the end of the name means it is the second iteration of the original TrailDash.

It is better and more stable than the original one. And, they also guarantee that their iterations don’t only mean newer screens only.

Thanks to the Superchips EAS, it can also be operated with third-party accessories. This means that aftermarket sensors will also work with it. The usage is extremely easy.

When you install it and power it on for the first time, it saves your Jeep’s stock settings, so you can revert your changes and go back to factory mode whenever you want.

Moreover, their five-inch touch-operated display is awesome; you can set everything you want as easily as possible.

You can not only run performance tests but tune your vehicle into becoming a racing one.

Personally, I don’t think you can get a better option than this one if you want the top-of-the-line features that are easy to use and access.

Better than most, they comes with a two-year warranty. That is double that any other offering before it.

The TrailDash2 is an expensive option, but in my eyes, it is absolutely worth it.

It offers you immense customizability, which, as expected from Superchips, exceeds the offerings from other brands in the market.

7. Edge Products 85350 Edge Evolution CS2

We are at the finish line, and still, the competition is strong. For me, personally, all of these nine options hold an equal place as each of them performs really well.

The same can be said for the 85350 Edge Evolution CS2. The brand calls it the perfect programmer for your vehicle, so let’s find out why.

This model by Edge Products is the second generation of their already famous Evolution CS. Even the manufacturer knows that you don’t fix a product that is not broken.

Instead of adding new features that may or may not be popular with people, they chose to improve their already tested design.

It uses an HDMI to OBDII connection, meaning it has a plug-and-play design. There is no tricky installation, and you can do it in under a minute.

Moreover, the problem with tuners is that most of them try to improve horsepower only. That is not the case with this one, as it not only does that, but it also accounts for fuel consumption.

You will get better mileage alongside better performance out of your vehicle too. You can also adjust the throttle response to what pleases you.

The large screen shows you all the data you need, such as exhaust gas temperature and other things.

Most of the people who bought this product were more than satisfied with it. The people who did not notice a huge difference were due to them receiving faulty units.

8. Edge Products 85450 CTS2 Gas Evolution Programmer

There you have it, another programmer by Edge Products.

The same thing applies to this manufacturer that they make excellent products. That is why they were able to snatch up two consecutive places on this article.

The 85450 CTS2 Gas Evolution Programmer, with its settings, will make a huge difference in the performance of your vehicle. What the 85350 lacked in, this one covers it up.

With a simple and easy connection to the OBDII port, the vehicle’s diagnostic port, this tuner saves all stock settings and then injects its very own ones, which you can customize.

Unlike other tuners available for gas vehicles only, this one can also be used with diesel ones.

Edge Products’ engineering team has created custom power levels that have been tested to ensure they will give you a great boost in performance while not sacrificing fuel efficiency.

This is something everyone should look for in tuners. You don’t need to change anything other than plug this into the port. Then you are good to go.

Thanks to the bright screen, you can see and read real-time monitoring data of the engine, such as the temperature and many other things.

It really disappointed me to see such a good product fall victim to such a problem. The inaccurate gauges in some units make it a useless buy for some people.

9. Pedal Commander PC31 Throttle Response Controller

Finally, coming in at ninth place is the PC31 Throttle Response Controller by Pedal Commander.

This product is truly different and unique from all other options available on the market. So, it deserved a spot on this article.

Please note that although it earned the last spot, it performs similarly to all other options listed above. The main issue faced by Jeep Wrangler owners is the acceleration delay.

Well, their aim is to eliminate that. It also features 36 adjustable setting options, so you have truly customizability at your disposal.

There are even four pre-set buttons at the front, labeled Eco, city, sport, and sport+. You can press anyone according to the appropriate environment and then notice the difference.

They also guarantee you an up to 20% improvement in fuel economy. That is a huge difference, and you will notice that when you drive.

So, if you are looking for improved fuel consumption, then this is suitable for you.

Lastly, the installation is also extremely easy, with it being plug-and-play. Installation takes a maximum of five minutes only.

So, in five minutes, you will be ready to upgrade your vehicle’s performance and experience its true power.

The engine seizing up is something no buyer should take lightly. The problem most probably would have been due to the user’s fault, but it may be due to a defective unit.

So, you must remain cautious if you do decide to buy this tuner.

Conclusion

Tuners are something that really transforms your drive.

They allow your Jeep JK in unlocking their hidden potential, which even you did not know what possible.
