What year model is your diesel? 98 I think? Should work.
They do work on diesels (heck they are very popula with the F250 crowd ).
We do have a test unit here, but probably bit of a long drive on a Saturday Morning
Also there is a 30 day Money Back on the unit, so if it doesn't work or not to your satisfaction.

I borrowed Gav's (he won this off wooders at Camp coff's) to tell me what the check engine light was trying tell me (apart from spend money)

Diagnosed my TPS as being unwell (which shouldn't be a shock as this is the third time - each previous time Ive taken the car into dnyotune and they told me the tps sensor voltage was high, so they cleaned and tightend the connecting pins and it SHOULD be fine)- this time I just replaced the damn thing - and hey - it doesn't go pa-papa-pa pa when I'm slowing down anymore!

Here's a link to previuous post about TJ wrangler error codes (bloody great!)http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...ad.php?t=55250

So I reckon thier cool!

here's a link to an online maual:
http://www.linear-logic.com/support/pdfs/SGIIManual.pdf

I've also noticed my running temp with an (88'c from dim memory) OEM thermostat at it's HOTEST gets to 89'c then it drops very quickly back to 82'c (builds back up REAL slowly - like a couple of mins) - I put in thermometer (well a MEAT one) in the radiator and it shows the water temp at about 85'c so I figure the car temp gauge is ok - time for a hotter thermostat me thinks.

Only other wierd thing my wrangler does is idle at about 1100 rpm until you stop moving (like a dead stop) then it happily settles down to ~800 rpm. I'll worry about this once I've fixed the temperature.

Do I reckon everyone needs one of these? shit yeah - lots of buttons!

I know this is shameful but here's some pics of my install




I originally had a blue backlight. Then i made it light blue, then green, then red, then orange and pink. At the moment it's purple. I love changing colours
