Time for a new Commander....you don't need a house anyway!
I opted to trade in the 2006 4.7 for the 2010 5.7 and have no regrets, bigger payment but what the hell. You cant wipe the smile off your face the first time you stomp on the gas. I do spend less on gas in the 2010..............
Thats right join the dark side, the Hemi Side lol.
I do have to say I do love the power & the note from the exhaust it is killer.
Hell, if i had the money i'd seriously consider trading in my 07 XK for a 2010 just because its the last model year...
My commander has so much of my bIood, We are related! I couldn't trade it in.
I would if the car note would stay the same.........but it won't so I'm stuck.
I e-mailed Hypertech with some questions and let them know about my experience with tech support........ Here is their response...

I’m sorry about the confusion must have been a miss understanding on the model year. We all use the same source to find out which products we have available for the different model years, makes and engines. We just recently started supporting the 3.7 liter with our Programmers. We support the 2007 and newer only at this time.
Now we do support the 2006 Jeep Commander with the 3.7 with our Speedometer Calibrator part# 752001. This unit calibrates the speedometer only for tire and/or rear axle changes. Maybe the tech mentioned this so you’d know in case that would help.
The vehicle computer calibrations and VIN are different each year and the Programmer 52001 is not programmed to recognize the 2006 model. I recommend going to our website using this link to enter a product request, http://209.12.144.7/requests.php. We use this list to determine the vehicles we support plus you’ll be notified once available. Thanks
Jim"
I did the product request in the link they provided, hopefully if enough owners would do the same we will get a programmer made for us '06ers.
Spoke to Jet Chips and their programmer will work in our 3.7s.................with a wopping +12hp and +10lbs torque for stage 1..........+17 hp and +13lbs torque for stage 2. I don't see that as a good deal considering the price tag of $250-$300 (depending on where you shop). The cheapest price I found was $228, which makes it out to be $19 per HP for stage 1. Not worth the while in my opinion, plus Jet Chips has some bad reviews on-line.
SO, I ordered the Hypertech speedometer calibrator to correct my tire size issue and hopefully it will correct my "hunting" for gears while on the highway. I will post up in my garage when I recieve it and install it.
Any news?
