hypertech 3 options left out.

i just installed a hypertech programmer 3 on my 98 2 door 4x4 and when the programmer gave me options for changes the octane and rev limmiter were left out. anyone know why or did i get a bad programmer because i cant figure it out.

Here is what the installation instructions say:

If you have a 1996-1999 4.3/5.0/5.7/7.4L vehicle, Power
Tuning for premium octane gasoline is offered. You must use
premium octane gasoline (or the highest octane rating available
in your area) to produce maximum power. Make sure you have

premium octane gasoline in your vehicle

BEFORE installing

Hypertech Power Tuning.
•

If you have a 2000 4.3/5.7/7.4L vehicle, the “Dual Fuel”

Power Tuning is offered. After pressing ‘Y’ to install Hypertech
Power Tuning, use the

s and t arrows to select either regular

or premium octane Power Tuning. Press ‘Y’ to lock in the
desired Power Tuning program.

NOTE:

For all ‘96-’00 manual transmission vehicles, choosing

to install Hypertech Power Tuning will also automatically
increase the engine RPM “Rev” limiter to 6000 RPM

for the 4.3/5.0/5.7L and 5500 RPM for the 7.4L.

So, if you have a '98 with automatic transmission, I would say that you may have a defective programmer, but check with Hypertech directly to be sure.

ok that is what i think is going on because all of a sudden when i went to race my brother in his jeep i had a sudden loss of power and it shifted at 5500 and made 2 loud banging sounds from my engine and i had my check engine light come on and i translated the codes and it said my ox sensors were malfunctiong or i was running lean or rich i dont know. thanks for your reply
