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.

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.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

See what our Experts say about this Superchips Performance Chip
- Tuner for 2012 Ford F-150 5.0L with Aftermarket Cold Air Intake and ExhaustEdge has a section in their instructions that states you should not stack performance products and use their tuners so I do not recommend them since you have aftermarket cold air intake and exhaust. I recommend the Flashpaq # SU4845 for your 2012 Ford F-150 5.0L. It will do everything you are looking for and it works well with aftermarket exhaust and cold air intake.
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.

- What is Needed to Increase Torque and Horsepower on a 2003 Ford F250 Super Duty Crew Cab 5.4LThe first thing that will increase your torque and horsepower is a cold air intake system like the Airaid # AR401-114. These don't have a specified amount of increase in those areas for your 2003 Ford F-250 but it is the thing to add. This will need to be cleaned periodically with the solution # AR790-554 and we also have replacement filters # AR701-445 if you ever need to replace yours. The next thing you can add to boost your torque and horsepower is a performance tuner. I recommend...
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.
view full answer... - Correct Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner for a 2014 Ford F-150 with 3.7L V6 EngineThe correct Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner for a 2014 Ford F-150 with 3.7L V6 Engine is part # SU1845. The part # SU4845 is for California residents. These will both work alongside the factory tow/haul button. The tuner will do a bit more than the factory tow/haul button so it will be a great option for frequent towing/hauling as it not only improves gas mileage but it also helps extend the life of the transmission.
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.

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.

- Difference Between Superchips Performance Tuners SU4845 and SU3845 for 2014 Ram 1500Superchips Performance Tuners # SU4845 and # SU3845 both fit your 2014 Ram 1500 with 5.7L V8 Hemi Engine and both deliver gains of up to 17.8 horsepower and 26.3-ft-lbs of torque but they differ in that tuner model # SU4845 is approved for use in the state of California. California has strict emission codes administered by CARB, the California Air Resources Board.
view full answer... - Difference Between Superchips Flashpaq Tuners for 2010 Ford F-150The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Pro # SU1545, also called the Flachcal, is for competition and race use only, is specifically for the Ford F-150 and does not offer the amount of features that the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU4845 does. The easiest way to put it is that the Flashcal is essentially a calibration device, while the Flashpaq F5 is a performance tuner.
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.
view full answer... - Edge Juice with Attitude CS2 Performance Tuner Amp running boardsI suggest the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner, # SU4845 for your 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup as this is a more cost effective model that will provide equivalent performance. The Edge Juice with Attitude CS2 Performance Tuner, # EP31407 does not have a port for the Amp Running Boards to be connected at the same time. I suggest you use the handheld to set your tune, then reconnect the running boards.
view full answer... - Will Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner Remove Duramax Speed LimiterAccording to Superchips the # SU4845 that you referenced is confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 and can remove the speed limiter. I should also recommend you not exceed your current speed rating as the lower speed rating for your truck is due to the lower speed rating of the tires that Chevy puts on your truck. There are also videos on youtube of trucks like yours breaking driveshafts due to excessive speed when they do exceed the 98 mph speed rating.

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. I have attached a short video review below on this tuner, along with the written installation manual that you can check out....

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...

You can choose from the Flashpaq part # SU2845 or the Dashpaq part # SU2050. Between these performance tuners, I recommend the Dashpaq as the best suited option for your truck. This tuner will improve horsepower, torque and gas mileage. If you live in California, the only Superchips option we have for you is the Flashpaq part # SU4845 (Specific to California Emissions). Both tuners have similar features such...
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.

If you had a 2007 Lincoln Navigator the SuperChips kit part # SU4845 is a confirmed fit and would give you up to 38 horsepower and 57 ft lbs of torque. I picked this year as it's the same generation of the year range of Ford trucks the Edge you referenced fits. Let me know what year you have. The Edge you mentioned does not fit any Navigators.

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.

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...
