    How to apply someone else's tune from the repository?

    How to apply someone else's tune from the repository?
    I have a 2009 Jeep wrangler with a slightly built 3.8. I found a tune in the repository I would like to try.
    What would be the easiest way to accomplish this? I just want to slap his whole tune onto my
    jeep then work from there. Do I use compare and just go through every setting one by one?
    Or is there a way to write the whole tune at once, try it , then flash back to my stock tune?
    Totally new to this so be gentle lol.........

    Under compare use the view comparison log and swap over everything starting with engine. Goes pretty quick. I don't know of a way to use the repository tune without licensing.

    Hey I see your in Sugerland....... I'm in Kingwood and was out your way this weekend working on our duck blind.
    Would you happen to have some time one of these weekends to give me some basic pointers for a six pack or two?

    I'm really not a tuner. If you have a question that I can answer shoot it my way but to help you tune your car I don't feel I'm qualified.

    Not looking for someone to tune, just need a little help with the user interface.

    Definitely not recommended to slap someone elses file into your ecm.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    I've done it,to a point at least if it's like a CAI/headers . Not the entire tune though, more for a comparison. Had a 2002 ZO6 come by because someone put too short of pushrods in. Said he was not sure if it was tuned since he bought it used and used a stock file to check and it was.

    Its stupid to load a modified tune from the tune repository to your car. What makes you think some strangers tune wont ruin your car. Because he said it ran good ? That's not smart.
