Range technology

I'm considering getting the Range to disable the 4 cylinder mode. I see Amazon has it for sale and it's cheaper then the one on the Range website. Any reason why I shouldn't get it from Amazon?

It's hard to know which version Amazon will have. Early versions will frequently throw codes (I know from experience). Current version was perfect.

It's an old version they are selling which draws current when the vehicle is shut down and runs the battery down. Buy directly from Range as that have the updated version where they fixed this issue. Only Range sells the update version.

Just save yourself risk of issues down the road of not having the latest update. Purchase from Range and they stand behind 100% and offer 'free' updates as needed.

Don't try to save a dollar.

Buy it directly from range.

Use the discount code "Corvettemag" and you will save $10

Thanks everyone.. I was leaning towards Range, but just needed a little reassurance.

Very sound advice. The price difference is not so drastic as to not buy from Range.
