Never heard of anyone using a trans temp gauge for a manual, so I would take everything else this jeep buddy has said with a grain of salt. I'm surprised he didn't suggest adding a cooler. You will know you're torturing a manual trans when it starts to make noise, be harder to shift, get stuck...

All part of life's experience. Hopefully it gives those considering purchasing, a moment to pause. Mine is also not an isolated case as can be found by a Google search. They either seem to run fine with no problems, as does my first, or they are a bastard red headed stepchild. Apologies if...

Fitech tech support has taken 48hrs to respond to me and confirm that the ECU needs replacing. I swear some guy had been saying that to them, over a week ago..... but what would he and the internet know? The sniper 2 is miles ahead. The harness makes the fitech look poorly thought out and...

Weekend Prep Steps for Monday Pull the FiTech: Disconnect the handheld, unbolt the "piece of shit" throttle body, and pull its wiring harness through the firewall. Clean the intake manifold flange surface so it's ready for a fresh gasket on Monday. Some times AI gives me a good chuckle. Now it...

I found a mate who had a pc and uploaded it by following the YT video link. The unit is still not priming the fuel pump. I removed the fuel pump fuse and am running the fuel pump connected to a 12v battery. The unit won't squirt gas or run. The voltage still drops while cranking. I connected...

That's where all the money from purchased parts went...

Finally got a response. Me first. Hi, The lack of response to my very detailed troubleshooting is baffling to me. Now you are sending software and a video? With no explanation as to why you think this will solve my issues? Are you telling me that updating the software will fix all the...

Oh yeah. So they have sent me software to update my HH, yet when I first spoke to Alex (Mr 15 years) he told me that my handheld could not be updated, and I would have to buy the latest HH. Which of these 2 clowns should I believe?

Like I said, some units run fine. But the fact that you had to open it up would be strike one in my book. The standby drain of the handheld has nothing to do with my problems but it is a known issue. I guess you don't have a problem until you do. It's how that problem is handle with customer...

I think a tight weave/more solid will be easier to vacuum. The type that most modern vehicles have. The older type with the long or twisted weave is always difficult to get everything out of. I have that style in all my older vehicles and they look clean after vacuuming, right up until you get...

I wonder if you met the legend who calls himself "Hi-way Dreams" on FB. The 3 fitech employees I have given detailed troubleshooting steps/answers to, have not responded to one of them. I'm under no illusions that I may not have a problem with the Sniper 2, but I know I will get a better...

Well I fixed it. No thanks to Fitech support staff, who have sent me 1 email each day, all which have had nothing to do with troubleshooting and not answering any of my questions or responding to my troubleshooting updates. I fixed it by buying a Holley Sniper 2. As stated this was my second...

Thanks but this hasn't been sitting in the sun. I was able to find another setting -Cal no-save 196- change 196 to zero After I did that The HH was turning off after the values went blank. I'm thinking success, I thought wrong. Any values I changed do not stick. So I did a thorough round of...

Update: I was accepted to a FB owners group and was able to find the option to have the screen go off. So I have removed the relay on the constant 12v wire and have that going straight to battery.

Hi Guys, 600hp Power Adder # 30004 Handheld (newer style) software T198 v1.30 MSD street fire cdi Duraspark distributor. This is my 2nd install. This unit sat in storage for a few years and just installed last week. Truck runs amazing, right off the bat except cold starts take 4-5 attempts...
