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.

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: 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: 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.

- Performance Difference Between California and 49 State Legal Superchips Programmer 2001 Ford DieselThe performance gains between the CARB compliant Superchips Flashpaq # SU4845 and the non-CARB part # SU1845 are significant as the CARB programmer can give up to 65 horsepower and 115 ft lbs of torque whereas the non-CARB can provide up to 111 additional horsepower and 205 ft lbs of torque. The other thing you'll want to consider is that going with the higher power option will put quite a bit more strain on your vehicle's transmission. So the CARB programmer will be legal right now for...
view full answer... - Difference Between Superchips Flashpaq F5 SU1845 and SU4845 Tuner With 7.3L Diesel V8 The difference between the Superchips Flashpaq F5 part # SU1845 and part # SU4845 is the SU4845 tuner is California Approved. Both tuners will work with the 1999 Ford F-250 Superduty 7.3L Diesel V8. Since the emission laws in California are stricter, the tunes on the 4845 are less but that is necessary to stay legal. If you do not live in California, I recommend to upgrade to the # SU1845 because it provides 50% more horsepower and torque boost power compared to the # SU1845 that you...
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.

The tuner will plug right into the OBD-II port in your truck and also includes a color LCD screen for reading engine data and adjusting settings....

But if I wanted to go with something a little more simple without all of the gauge display parameters of the programmers above I would go with the Flashpaq, # SU4845 for California...

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.
