    My '07 SRT Jeep didn't need a PCM swap change. I believe that's for 2015+ newer models only, since my 2016 Scat Pack required an 'unlocked' PCM.

    From what I can tell, 2008 is one of the easiest years of LX Cars to tune. NGC4 PCM, EGS53 TCM, and you don't have to mess around with the neural network like in the VVT cars from 2009 onwards.

    You can tune it with NN on, but I always find it better and easier to just SD tune them

    Thanks man. I figured out how to use the website, lol. I am having another issue now. The throttle position never goes passed 87.8% when matted to the floor. Is this just how this electronic throttle reads or do i have to calibrate it?

    This is normal, no need to calibrate it. It will never go beyond.
    sensor voltage indicates to pcm throttle position, not openning percentage that we can see with vcm scanner
