UFO...... Here's my BIG question. After getting some seat time in the truck now, at a price tag of $7k if you had to pay for one would you? I guess what I'm getting at is was it a $7k difference in the performance of the truck? I imagine it was a HUGE improvement but that's a steep price tag..... Even with them on sale for 6200 right now. I want one bad but have a hard time swallowing that it will put a $7k smile on my face lol.

current sale price of 6200, holiday sale price of 5828. If i had to pay for one again i would. There is no alternative to forced induction to really bring out the power. I had volant intake/corsa exhaust for a little while before the supercharger. No tuner at that time. and i feel that the supercharger now really changes the durango. There is a ton of power when accelerating now, and it really "ripps" into it when the rpm gets higher.
What kind..... (If any) change did you see in fuel mileage? Any issues with dash lights on from the tune?
My wife gave me the nod to go ahead with this so finger is on the trigger...... Just struggling to pull because of the uncertainties and price. Thanks for all the info you've been providing .

My norm gas mileage was ~13.5 combined previously. I am currently at 14.2 -14.5. The winter fuel definitely didn't contribute to better gas mileage haha.
So i actually have a slight increase, and my lead foot definitely did not become any softer.
I have a CEL p0172 and a P0175 on this current tune every now and then. Running a bit rich. Ripp has assured me that the current tune has fixed it on their test mule 2014 grand cherokee limited. There is a mating issue with my durango and the intune. I believe my tune was loaded with a trinity, but they gave me a intune for temp logging and code clearing for now. Asides from the running a bit rich, i have no other issues. Most tuners seen to want to run rich rather then lean when getting things dialed in from what i've read.

First let me start off by saying, i had and still have a lead foot. I've never gotten good gas mileage, and i live in a area that has 10% ethanol gas.

Ok. I may hold out until you go back and see if that CEL/tune is corrected with the update.
They have you tuned at 7lbs boost right? If it's a fat tune, turning the boost up a pound or 2 may lean it down enough to clear it and give you another 10-15 HP. Keep me updated, there's a good chance I'll be the next one going down this road.
