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

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Charles04/14/2022
Really helped unlocking power at lower RPM with heavy trailer load. Easy to use.
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

- Can SuperChips Programmer be Used in Arizona for 2006 Cadillac EscaladeThe most sound advice I can give you would be to use the SuperChips programmer part # SU2060 on your 2006 Cadillac Escalade only when you are in Arizona so that you don't get yourself into any trouble. This does install and uninstall pretty easily so it wouldn't be too difficult to work pull off either. We also have a California approved programmer that fits your vehicle too with the Superchips part # SU4845. This might be your easiest and best solution.

This will let you adjust your transmission for better hill climbing performance and also let you re-tune your engine for up to 20 more horsepower and up to 28-ft-lbs of additional torque.

This tuner can indeed be used to recalibrate the factory speedometer for various tire sizes or gear ratios. It can also be used to raise the stock speed limit setting on your Mustang.

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...

We do have programmers available for your application but we don't have any cold air intake systems compatible with your specific pickup. Out of our available selection I recommend going with the Edge Gas Evolution CTS2 # EP85450. This is a performance tuner that comes with a monitor and can increase your HP by 16 and Torque by 27. When I spoke with my contact at Edge he said that you...
view full answer... - Programmer Recommendation for 2002 Ford F-150 4.6 liter for Performance and Tire Size CalibrationThe Superchips FlashPaq F5 programmer part # SU1845 is going to be the best bang for your buck programmer that will do what you are looking for. 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... - Which Gives More Power an Edge Programmer or a Superchips Programmer For 2009 Dodge Ram 1500Superchips and Edge are actually made by the same company so the tunes you'll get between the two will yield the same power gains. The advantage to the Superchips like the part # SU4845 is that you aren't paying for additional features like a gauge display so the price is a little better. If you let me know what year Ram 1500 you have I can offer the correct programmer part numbers and give you horsepower increase numbers as well.
view full answer... - Difference Between SuperChips Programmers # SU1845 and # SU4845The big difference between the two SuperChips programmers you mentioned of # SU1845 and # SU4845 is that the # SU4845 has been approved for use in the state of California. Aside from that it's the exact same programmer so you'd need to pick which one to go with based on where you live and you'll be set!

view full answer... - Programmer to Help with Towing for a 2009 Ford F-150 with 5.4 Liter MotorTo answer your last question first when towing you would still use the tow/haul button when using a programmer. What I recommend for you and your 2009 Ford F-150 with the 5.4 liter motor is the Flashpaq # SU1845. It has preprogrammed tunes for fuel economy, towing, daily driving, and performance. It is one of the easiest programmers to use and one of the most economically priced. That makes it tough to beat!
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...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement and Programmer Recommendation for 2012 Ram 1500 4.7 liter V8I'd expect at least a little bit of suspension on your 2012 Ram 1500 when towing a trailer that weighs 5,600 lbs. The best suspension enhancement we offer to reduce that sag that also improves handling, ride quality, and stability is the SumoSprings part # SSR-307-47 which are a fit for your vehicle. The Superchips Flashpaq part # SU4845 will give you up to an additional 50 horsepower and 55 ft lbs of torque for an easy way to gain a substantial amount of power and fuel mileage.

It will adjust the transmission shift points and pressure to give you more aggressive shifting. It will also give you gains of up to 18 hp and up to 27 ft lbs torque. If you need the California approved version, it will have the same specs, but is part # SU4845. Let me know if you have further questions.
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.

For the California Approved version of the programmer, you will want part # SU4845. If you have the 5.4L Supercharged Triton V8 engine, you may see up to an additional 24 horsepower and up to 39 ft-lbs torque with either of these programmers.

It features a high-resolution LCD screen for easy navigation, connects to your F-150 via the OBD-II port, and updates via the internet. This performance module is not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles in the state of California but part # SU4845 is California approved and can provide you with the same specs as mentioned...
