2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Simple to use with easy menus and update process via your computer. Don't expect a dramatic power boost with gas engine. I have noticed much improved mid range throttle response, especially at higher elevations. My 2500 HD no longer has to downshift 2 gears to maintain or increase speed on 5 to 6% grades in winding turns in the 45 to 55 mph speed range. Wide open throttle passes at higher speeds seem to be a bit quicker. To soon to form any opinion on fuel mileage.
by: Donald01/26/2021
Easy to follow instructions, had it installed in 5 minutes. Performance has improved noticable.

I had to update the tuner two times in order to get the tunes for my truck once I got the tune installed it don’t change my shift points in the transmission my first chip I got back in 2000 changed my shift points as well up the horse power .you would think we’d have better technology in 2021.
I had called the tech line about four times and all the techs I talked to were nice and helpful.

I bought this after installing 4.56 ring and pinion gears in the front a rear axles in my 02 gmc sierra 1500. Due to differences in where wheel speed data is collected between the front and rear axles you'll get an abs warning light if you make any changes in drivetrain bearing. This unit has the ability to adjust the parameters for tire size and gear ratio in order for the ECU to perform the necessary calculations. The result is that the ECU can then realize that both front and rear wheel are in fact rotating at the same speed, which turns of the abs light. I also used a GPS speedometer and adjusted tire size so that the indicated speed matches perfectly a calibrated gps speed perfectly. Its actually more accurate now then it ever was. So I can confirm that this unit will correct both issues you may have. I havnt used any of the "canned" tunes so no comment on performance, towing or mpg gains. Just adjusted the parameters on the stock tune and been running it like that for a year with no issues
by: Eric05/22/2020
This programmer makes a big difference with my 2008 Expedition (5.4 V8, 6 speed auto). Fuel saver mode gave me around 2 mpg better on the highway, Performance 91 gives it a great snarl and significantly more power. Regular 87 mode, after a day or two, had smoother shifting and less gear hunting at low loads. Feels a little more powerful too. I haven't tried towing yet.
by: Dan05/16/2017
First I have to say that ETRAILER has the absolute best customer service out there. When I ordered this over the phone, there was an error that doubled up everything (glitch in the system I believe). Anyway, before shipping, and charging me double for everything, they called me to confirm that was what I really wanted... good thing.
As far as the Superchips is concerned. It's great. Really unlocked my truck's power. So easy, a caveman could set it up. Tells you recommendations (i.e. in performance mode, don't tow, etc.). Also, for Mac users, the Flashpaq F5 is upgradeable on your computer. Just go to the Superchips website, download the "ignition" software and you're good to go. I spoke with Superchips and they acknowledged that's an error on their website. If you're going for fuel economy, go with the "Performance" mode. I've seen easily a 3MPG overall gain in that mode. It's also the one that increases the most torque and HP. Highly recommend this product if you want something simple that will unlock your Cummins while keeping it safe... and you really can't go wrong by ordering from ETRAILER. Seriously, I have ordered tons from them and they are awesome!
by: Daniel08/10/2021
The tunes that come with it are great! However the other functions aren't all that special. The code reader is basic at best. It wont pull any advanced codes, the $[XX] code reader from wal mart does the same thing. Also when I changed the tire size from the stock 27" to the new 33" it didn't load it properly and caused the brake and ABS warning lights to lose their minds and flash constantly. Overall its overpriced for what you get.
by: Mark H. 05/15/2014
The Flashpaq seems to be working really well for fuel economy but I haven't tried it with my 5th wheel yet. If it works as good as the service I had from etrailer, I don't think that I'll have any problems at all. You guys were great with keeping me updated on my order.
Thank you
by: Michael08/10/2021
Not a noticeable gain in any of the modes. I would just buy a cold air intake instead and save your money on this basic tuner.
by: John D.05/31/2018
Wow! I love this tuner! I enjoy the ability to change the tune from performance to towing in a mater of minutes . I was happy to disable the DOD (cuts off 4 cylinders on light load) and to raise the speed limiter too! very happy!
by: Larry12/02/2021
Had an EDGE tuner for my '08 F250 that I liked better. This one is kind of slow to update the computer (2 files, with lots of ignition off/on cycles). I tried the Performance tune and went for a quick ride. Yep, it worked. Loaded the Towing program, we'll see how that works out.
by: Charles04/14/2022
Really helped unlocking power at lower RPM with heavy trailer load. Easy to use.
by: Dale J.09/13/2020
So far I have only used it on the 87 octane tune setting. Definitely an overall mild improvement in performance. Does not kick out of overdrive while in cruise control mode nearly as often. Picked up at least one possibly two miles per gallon.
by: David 07/08/2022
Have this on my 2.7 l F-150 for a year and it definitely adds a little kick and it's great to have the OBD feature
by: Phillip10/01/2018
I ordered a Superchips Flashpaq for my 02 Dodge Ram 4.7. ETrailer was one of very few websites that was clear in its discription on wheather or not it would work on my truck. The customer service is great and the price was good.
by: John C05/11/2019
Easy to use, works great. This in addition to cold air induction and cat back exhaust really woke my truck up.
by: Cade T.11/09/2014
Great fuel economy it doubled my mpg. The performance is great it adds alot of extra power. Havent tried the towing yet but if i have no dout that it will work just ass good as the rest of the of them. Thanks alot.
by: Erick05/27/2022
Truck works better with it. It’s an incremental improvement but noticeable.
by: Kenneth05/20/2018
Took about 10 mins for the PCM to upload the stock tune then about another 5 minutes to program the Fuel savings tune, I could almost instantly notice a difference. I drive a pretty steep hill on my way to work and always have to downshift and lose speed near the top, not anymore I can take the hill in 5th and Speed up as well. 20 HP doesn’t seem like much but it makes a huge difference. Next text will be when I tow my RV to the coast on the heavy towing tune.
by: Mike in Michigan09/10/2014
Product arrived on time. Works as advertised. Easy plug and play type interface. Like being able to change my trucks program as I see fit. Would recommend to anyone that likes tweaking cars and trucks.
by: Joshua09/03/2020

- Comparing Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuners # SU3845 & # SU4845 For 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7LBoth the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuners # SU3845 and # SU4845 will give you the same tuning for your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L with the 3.92 gears. The main difference between these tuners is the # SU3845 is specific to only yours and similar Ram trucks with a gas engine. The # SU4845 can also be used with certain F-Series, Silverados, Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers.

The Superchips tuner is a hand held unit that will plug in to your vehicle's OBD-II port. The Superchips tuner includes tunes for economy, towing, daily driving, and extreme performance. The tuner will also allow you to maximize power by lifting the restrictions on your rev limiter, allowing for maximum rotational speed, eliminate downshifting...
view full answer... - How Difficult is it to Set Tunes on the Superchips Flashpaq F5We don't have any videos demonstrating the Superchips Flashpaq F5 # SU2845 (Or # SU4845 to be California approved.) but it's fairly easy to use. Setting tunes is literally just a matter of choosing options from a menu and making the changes you want to make.

The Flashpaq tuner will allow you to raise the stock speed limit setting on your 2006 Chevy Silverado, recalibrate your speedometer and lift the restrictions on your rev limiter. On a side note, the Flashpaq tuner is legal in all 50 states and is California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant. I included a helpful article for you too.
view full answer... - Superchips Flashpaq for 2006 Jeep Commander with 5.7L HemiI contacted Superchips, if you already have the tuner part # SU4845 for the Dodge with a 5.7L Hemi, you can use it on your 2006 Jeep Commander 5.7L Hemi if you return the settings back to stock on the Dodge to allow the tuner to disconnect pairing so it can be used on another vehicle. Since both vehicles have the same engine, you can use the same tuner. If you do not already have a tuner, I recommend to get the SuperChips Flashpaq tuner part # SU3874 because of its pre-loaded tunes that...
view full answer... - Tuner for a 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab 4x4 5.7 Hemi Approved for CaliforniaThe Superchips Flashpaq # SU4845 and Edge EvoHT2 # EP86040 are essentially the same tuner just with a different look. Both companies are under the same parent company umbrella. Both are approved for use in California, and both have pre-programmed tunes, one of which is specifically for towing. The pros of both are that they are hand held so you won't have to have either one permanently mounted. Despite being small each is packed with features. And compared to other tuners they have a relatively...
view full answer... - Can Cold Intakes Be Used with Superchips Programmer Installed on 2012 Ford Mustang with a 5.0 LiterThe Superchips Flashpaq F5 Pro Programmer # SU4845 that you referenced is a fit for your 2012 Ford Mustang 5.0 liter and can give the vehicle the vehicle up to 35 horsepower and 40 ft lbs of torque. A cold air intake would work just fine with this kit. Cold air intakes and cat-back exhaust systems work fine as-is with programmers like this.

If you use one that does not support your truck you will get an error signal and it won't be usable but should not mess up your truck. For your 2004 Dodge Ram, so long as you have a 4.7L V8 Engine, 5.7L V8 Engine - HEMI, 5.9L I6 Diesel Engine - Turbocharged - 250hp, 5.9L I6 Diesel Engine - Turbocharged - 305hp or 5.9L I6 Diesel Engine - Turbocharged - 325hp you will...

It will give you up to 20 horsepower and 28 ft lbs of torque plus allow you to change tire sizes. The part # SU4845 is basically the same programmer but approved for use in the state of California. It costs a bit more just for that reason.
view full answer... - Programmer Recommendations for a 2013 Ford F-150 with 5.0 Liter MotorFor your 2013 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 liter motor I recommend the Superchips Flashpaq # SU1845 (or # SU4845 for a California approved model). The Flashpaq works well with vehicles that have additional enhancements such as cold air intake. If you want to have a monitor then the Edge Evolution with color screen # EP85350 or with touch screen # EP59YR are fantastic options. They just are not legal in California. Any of the above programmers will have various modes for different situations...

I reached out to my contact at Superchips and Edge and there is not a fit for your 2010 Chevy HHR model to enhance performance. You can use the Edge Insight CS2 Comprehensive Gauge Display - Color Screen # EP84030 to troubleshoot codes and display parameters.

view full answer... - Will Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner Fit 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with Catback and Cold AirProgrammers like the SuperChips Flashpaq part # SU4845 that you referenced work really well on vehicles that have the exact modifications that you have with the cold air intake and the cat-back system. You are at the limit for what programmers are good for in terms of modifications. If you go any further you'd want a custom dyno tune but right where you are at is the sweet spot for the Flashpaq. If you don't change the limiters in the programmer they will easily be safe as-is.

A performance chip will tune the engine so that it runs more efficiently. An engine that is running more efficiently will provide modest increases in fuel economy (typically 1 to 1-1/2 mpg) IF the vehicle is driven conservatively. The # EP99YR offers the Mileage Coach program...
view full answer... - Programmer for Towing and Fuel Economy on a 2013 Ford F-150 3.5 Liter EcoBoostFor your 2013 Ford F-150 with the 3.5 liter EcoBoost motor I recommend the Superchips Flashpaq # SU1845 for 49-state or # SU4845 for California approved. The Flashpaq has several tune presets for fuel economy, towing, and performance. When towing I recommend the towing tune and for everyday driving use the economy setting.

view full answer... - Can New Superchips Tuner be Used to Remove Old Superchips Tuner on a 1999 Ford F-250Yes you can. I spoke with my contact at Superchips who said that you can purchase a new Superchips Tuner for your 1999 Ford F-250 7.3L, like the Flashpaq F5 # SU4845, and use it to remove the older Superchips tuner. All you need to do is give them a call once you have the new unit and have access to a computer so they can walk you through how to get this done.

What you would want is the part # SU4845 which can give your truck up to 18 horsepower and 30 ft lbs of torque. No thermostat change is require either.

I know a lot of people like to disable the displacement on demand or active fuel management systems that cut the motor to 4 cylinders when it chooses it is appropriate. If this is something you are interested in then the way to achieve it is to use a programmer that will allow you...
view full answer... - Does Superchips Programmer Void Warranty of 2016 Ram 1500Installing the Superchips part # SU4845 will not void the factory warranty on your 2016 Ram 1500 under most circumstances. Consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss warranty act that states, in part, that unless the part added actually causes a problem, then installation and use of the part will not void the warranty. We recommend removing the programmer before going to the dealer for any warranty work just to prevent any possible issues. Most dealers won't mind but some can be difficult.
view full answer... - Tuner that Works with Aftermarket Cold Air Intake and Exhaust on a 2010 Ford F-150 4.6LFor a programmer that is going to help with towing and that will work with cold air intake and exhaust upgrades I recommend the Flashpaq # SU4845. It has several tune options including 2 different tow options. The Edge programmers have a note in their instructions mentioning not to stack performance products like intake and exhaust when using the tuner so I do not recommend any of them for your 2010 Ford F-150.

- Does Superchips Flashpaq F5 Tuner for 2014 Ram 1500 With 5.7L V8 Have 93 Performance TuneThe Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU3845 (or # SU4845 if you live in California) for your 2014 Ram 1500 with a 5.7L V8 engine actually already comes with a 93 Performance tune, though this is more commonly referred to as the "Extreme" tune. So that means you don't have to download anything, and you can use this tune for the maximum performance in horsepower and torque on your truck.
