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.

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
Thank you

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.

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.

Very nice works great and very easy to operate. The ford F150 has a lot more throttle power and it is great for towing. I would advise anyone who needs a tune up or wants to tow to definitely.get one. Best money i've spent in a long time.

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.

Only the preinstalled updates are available, so unfortunately there is no way to do custom updates with this. There may be updates available on Superchips website that you can download onto this device using the included USB. Hopefully in the future, there will be a new quicker install update available.

Performance gains provided by the Flashpaq F5 are dependent on many different variables, including using the correct octane fuel, and the overall condition of vehicles drivetrain.

Before purchasing this "box tuner", I did quite a bit of research. This will not get you the most possible peak power from the engine, but it does exactly what I needed which is to disable the AFM/DOD. It does add a little to the peak HP and Torque but the real W is the power it adds at the lower RPM range of the engine. I noticed fewer down-shifts on slight inclines and a snappier throttle response at slower speeds. I also don't need the plug-in AFM Delete module any longer!

Improves towing significantly with the towing tune. To a lesser extent improves gas mileage with the economy tune. Greatly improves throttle response with the performance tune. I very much recommend!

See what our Experts say about this Superchips Performance Chip
- 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 The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Be Changed To A Different VehicleYes, you can change the Superchips Flashpaq F5 tuner to a different vehicle. For example, the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner - Ford - Gas/Diesel, part # SU1845, when programmed, is attached your vehicles VIN. In order to pair it to a different vehicle you have to return the current vehicle back to stock performance. Once that has been completed you can pair it with the new vehicle. If you no longer have access to the vehicle that is currently programmed to your device you need...
view full answer... - Will the Mileage XS Mode on the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Mode Increase Power As WellThe Mileage XS mode of the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner part # SU1845 is mainly used for increased fuel economy but it will also increase both horsepower and torque as well. I confirmed this with my contact at Superchips. However, for the best of both worlds you should try out the Performance mode. With that being said, this will vary from vehicle to vehicle and from driver to driver so you would be best to try each out to see which one works best for you. I have used a similar...
view full answer... - 2002 Ford Superduty Torque Converter Lockup Using Superchip Flashpaq 1845I reached out to my contact at Superchips and he said the tow modification will have different tunes in the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner - Ford - Gas/Diesel # SU1845 you asked about depending on the engine. If you can give me which of the 3 engine sizes you have, I can get more information on whether or not the torque converter lockup changes in tow mode.
view full answer... - Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner for 2007 Ford ExplorerThe Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner - Ford - Gas/Diesel # SU1845 will give you up to 20 HP and up to 28 more ft lbs torque on your 2007 Ford Explorer. It will allow you to return your vehicle to factory specs for emissions inspections or trips to the dealership. This programmer will only work on one vehicle at a time, so you have to return the vehicle to stock setting in order to use it on another vehicle.
view full answer... - Does the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Have an 87 Octane TuneYes it does, Maxime. The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU1845 has 4 tunes available: Performance (93 Octane), Heavy Tow (91 Octane+), 87 Octane, and MileageXS (fuel economy).
view full answer... - Are Different Octane Gas Levels Needed for Different Tunes on Flashpaq Tuner for 2003 Ford F-150The Superchips Flashpaq # SU1845 does have different fuel requirements for different tunes. Some of the tunes actually have the octane level in their names: 87 Performance requires 87 octane 91 Performance requires 91 octane 93 Performance requires 93 octane 87 Octane allows the use of 87 octane regardless of manufacturer's recommendation Heavy Load Tow and Towing tunes use 91 octane Mileage XS requires 87 octane
view full answer... - Does Using Tow Modes in Superchips Flashpaq Tuner Increase the Towing Capacity of a Vehiclethere isn't really a specific capacity or anything when in the various tow modes of SuperChips Flashpaq tuner # SU1845. You are still limited to whatever the truck can tow according to its owners manual. You would also have to follow the programmer's instructions for the correct octane of fuel to use in a given mode. The tow modes make sure that you have the power in order to tow easier but they cannot increase the capacity of the truck.
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... - 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... - 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...

Unfortunately, the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Pro Custom Performance Tuner - Gas/Diesel # SU1545 only allows you to upload the tunes you create and upload. There are no presets on this tuner to give you horsepower gains on your 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4 with a 7.3L Diesel Engine. However, with that being said, if you want preset tunes that will add horsepower and gas mileage gains, I recommend the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner -...
view full answer... - Can I Tow a Trailer While In Fuel Saver Mode with SuperChips FlashPaq F5 for 1999 Ford F-250Yes. There's no reason that you can't tow while in the fuel saver mode on your SuperChips # SU1845 and it won't damage the vehicle, but you'll likely get better performance while using the "Tow" program. The only tunes you can't tow in is the Performance or Extreme mode.
view full answer... - Is it Better to Run Superchips Flashpaq F5 in Performance or Tow Mode I would run the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU1845 in performance mode unless you are towing. The performance mode will give you the most power and fuel efficiency whereas the tow mode does similar but it also affects how the transmission shifts to optimize for towing a trailer which wouldn't be needed if you weren't towing.
view full answer... - How Much Horsepower and Torque Will the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Give a Ford F-150 with 4.6L V8According to Superchips, the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner part # SU1845 can provide increases in both horsepower and torque up to 20HP and 28TQ while using the performance tune. However, this device can do much more than just increase horsepower and torque, you can adjust/view parameters as well as read/clear engine diagnostics troubleshooting codes (DTC'S). If you really wanted to get the best bang for your buck in regards to horsepower and torque you would want to pair the...

This tuner will give your truck the extra pep it needs with projected increases of up to 25 horsepower and 49 foot pounds of torque on your particular F-250. It will also allow you to adjust for different tire sizes on the truck. 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....
view full answer... - How to Determine if Superchips Programmer is Programmed to a Vehicle or NotYou won't be able to determine if the Flashpaq like part # SU1845 is unlocked till you plug it into a vehicle so that it powers up and tells you. It also won't change anything on your vehicle unless you go in and tell it to install a tune so you don't have anything to worry about on that end either. In general we don't ever see any issues with the programmers like this. If it's still locked to his vehicle he will have to return his vehicle back to stock before it would allow you to tune...
view full answer... - Can The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner Adjust Transmission Shift Points?The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner - Ford - Gas/Diesel # SU1845 does offer adjustments for shift points and shift pressure (PSI) in the automatic transmission. In the advanced tuning options you will see these settings which will allow for optimized drivability and more aggressive shifts when tuned correctly.

I reached out to SuperChips and asked them what the power gains would be with this tuner # SU1845 on your 7.3L Diesel. I was told that there are 4 programs, two performance, one towing and one economy. The lower of the two performance settings you will gain around 80 horsepower and 180 lb/ft of torque. The top performance setting will gain you up to about 112 horsepower and up to 205 lb/ft of torque. The tow setting will gain around 60 horsepower and 150 lb/ft of torque and the economy...
view full answer... - Does 87 Octane Tune of Superchips Programmer Increase Fuel Mileage as WellYes, the fuel mileage gains are going to be very similar between the mileage XS and 87 octane tunes of the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU1845. What's interesting is that any time you use a programmer or custom tune to try and improve the performance you will also improve the mileage. Improving the performance is basically just making the engine run as efficiently as possible so in doing so you make more power with less fuel required and the mileage increases. With just a...
view full answer... - Superchips Performance Tuner For A 2003 Ford Explorer V8 4.6LYes, the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU1845 will work for your 2003 Ford Explorer V8 4.6L. The SU1060 that you mentioned is an older model that came with a separate color display that can be mounted on the dash, and while this would be compatible with your vehicle, this model is no longer available. For this reason the # SU1845 will be your best bet.
view full answer... - Can Performance Tune on Superchips Flashpaq Be Used for Everyday Driving I reached out to my contact at Superchips and he said you can absolutely use the performance tune for everyday driving with your tuner like the Flashpaq # SU1845 you were looking at.

I leave it in 87 fuel saver mode. I found out that towing mode is for 91 and higher octane, so it is worthless to me. Im not going to pay 50 cents or more per gallon for towing, I will never recover the cost. That is my only dislike about this product.
