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.

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.

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.
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

Have you tried the towing feature as of yet? Just curious how the Flashpaq did. I pull a 24 travel trailer with a 2005 Expedition and it needs some help!Thanks,Lonnie H

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.

Really helped unlocking power at lower RPM with heavy trailer load. Easy to use.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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: 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.

- 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... - More Power for Towing a 6,000 Pound Trailer with a 2010 Ford F-150 5.4LThe Superchips Flashpaq programmer # SU1845 can provide up to 38 horsepower and 57 foot pounds of torque on your 2010 Ford F-150 5.4 liter. The exact amount for any given tune though isn't available. You would probably want to use the heavy tow tune. For towing you will want a lot of low-end torque because that is when it is needed the most. Adding a programmer is definitely going to help! There are other parts you can add to the truck to increase the power such as exhaust and cold air...

view full answer... - Can a Programmer and Cold Air Intake be Used at the Same Time on a 2013 Ford F-150 5.0LYes, you can use both cold air intake # AR402-299 and Flashpaq programmer # SU1845 together at the same time on your 2013 Ford F-150 with 5.0 liter motor. The intake has an estimated gain of up to 17 horsepower and the programmer up to 24.4 horsepower. But these figures don't stack meaning that using both doesn't necessarily mean that you will see a gain of 31.4 horsepower. It will likely be slightly less. For a programmer with a larger display and comparable power gains you can use the...

- Will SuperChips Programmer SU1845 Hurt Transmission of Vehicle it is Installed InAny time you increase the power of a vehicle and you start really accelerating hard you end up putting more strain on the vehicle. A common place for an issue to arise is the transmission. If your transmission is in good shape and you aren't beating up too hard on your vehicle with the new power you should be just fine. Now if your transmission is on it's way out the new programmer will push the issue and cause it to go out quicker.
view full answer... - Estimated Power Gains Using Superchips Flashpaq on a 2003 Ford Explorer XLTSuperchips estimates that the Flashpaq # SU1845 (or # SU4845 for the California approved model) will provide up to 20 additional horse power and 28 feet pounds of torque at most on a 2003 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 liter motor. That might not seem like much but you will be able to tell the difference. Gas motors can get small power gains like this but nothing like what diesel motors can get. But programmers are still useful on gas motors because they can help it run more efficiently.

The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem in question. With that said before you take the truck to a dealer to have warranty work done you would use the programmer to return the truck to...

But if it doesn't automatically turn off then manually turn it off. A lower gear is recommended to eliminate excessive shifting.

Because there are so many potential variables as to what was actually added to the truck at the factory, this is the ideal method. With that being said I wasn't able to find any specifics on if or by how much not having the factory tow package would decrease the towing capacity of your F-150. It's also important...

Super chip tuner About a year ago I installed super chip tune I installed the light tow tune they said it’s around 80 hp. I also installed a pyrometer known l would be towing more weight then recommended so far it’s worked out great no complaints.
