What do you mean sometimes it does not come on - no lights?? If that’s the case I’d guess faulty device or the OBD pins in the device aren’t making correct contact.

I've had an 8.0 version plugged in constantly since before Christmas with absolutely no faults, codes, or voltage drops at all.

I'm about to pull the trigger on one, but folks having issues make me second guess the purchase. I have been just driving around in "m5" which is fine.
For those where the check engine light comes on..it doesn't do anything to the vehicle correct? Just shows the light? If that is the case I could deal with that if it came up.

If the CEL is coming on, it must be throwing a code of some kind. What that is, I don't know, I just do the M5 thing and let it go into AFM on the highway.

Had one on my ‘13 from march to nov of this year and it never skipped a beat... no cel and no probs
When light comes on (maybe once every 3 weeks and always on a start) all I do before I start off is reach down and unplug the device while the engine is running, count to 5 and then plug it back in. The CEL clears within 10 seconds. Light has never come on while driving in over 9 months of use.

thanks for the info. Based on this would you still recommend purchasing one? I was leaning towards picking up one cheap on ebay, but maybe Ill just buy through Range just in case I have issues etc. I think they also update the firmware for free?
Definitely buy direct (or from an authorized reseller). I'd buy again - I opted for this device because I didn't want to modify the ECU with a tune. As I said the CEL only occurs sporadically and only on start, not while driving. The CEL can be corrected easily and quickly. It's a good product. I'm using it on 2017 Yukon Denali.

Awesome. I'm planning to buy through them for my '17. Thanks again for the info. I can deal with a sporadic CEL if it occurs.
