    Hey Everyone, My 2018 Pro is doing great. Absolutely luv it.
    I finally cured the one performance issue that was really bugging me compared to my 2012 4.0L. The throttle response and shift points were really a drag on my new 3.5L. After a lot of research, YouTubeing and having a real understanding of how an electronic throttle works (being a 38 year auto technician in the dealership world) I put my money on a Sprint Booster V3 Throttle Enhancer. It took me 5 min to install completely. First test drive and playing around with the various settings I am completely impressed. It is as advertised.
    My TRD PRO is an automatic but I would really recommend it for the Manuel Trany. It will give you back that "feather" control and instant clutch engagement that is more difficult to achieve with the stock ETC. It's like having a cable again.
    I did use my scan tool to check for DTC's. None set. And I did clear the adaptive memory from the PCM to give it a clean slate to start from.
    There are other products out there, the choice is yours but definitely don't waste your money on anything that plugs directly into the DLC. Nothing gets by the new Security Gateway Module being put into 2018+ vehicles. (as of yet).
