i just bought a superchip for my 06 dodge diesel. some say dont use it . any thoughts???

 

congrads on the new truck and the 3805. i have it on my truck since about 500 miles and love it. the only thing i wish it had was some sort of protection for the transmission. used it on the performance setting pretty hard for the last 4500 miles and have had zero problems. invest in some gauges and you can tow in the performance mode also if your egts dont get to high. atleast thats what a guy from superchip's told me on thier forum. hope this helps

Just put one on a truck yesterday and that boy fell in love with his truck all over again. Good safe power for the money.

 

Yea, i have a 3805 on my stock 06 megacab truck also and i love it, would be nice to switch back and forth between settings but i'm happy with mine. I get 1.5MPG better with it in the tow setting driving how i normally do. Tried it in the performance setting but i just don't have enough self control to not keep my foot out of it, so yea the mileage suffered.

 

thanks guys , i had someone tell me its not good for the dodge. thought i made a mistake..

 

I like mine and it really works well for speedometer calibration. Takes about 12 minutes to change performance settings though. Once installed the overhead reads about 4 mpg's higher then what hand calculating actually is.

 

got one while waiting on the edge to come in. Took it off and installed edge juice/attitude. The superchips on the middle program will flat out run circles around the edge. I am having problems with the edge and am currently waiting on a replacement box. If things don't get better quick, I will be getting my money back and using the superchips. Anyone know what brand of pyro uses the same temp probe as the edge units?

 

the older superchips (non flashpaq) didn't do well on Dodges. A stock auto truck on Flashpaq performance will run a 14.5 quarter mile!

 

14.5? My truck is a single cab auto and on extreme on my bullydog, and then even crazy larry my best time was a 14.69, and i know the bdtd is putting out a lot more power then the flashpaq.

 

the guy has an 06 quad cab 4x4 short bed auto, superchips flashpaq on performance with an intake. 14.51 to be exact. he's out of florida.


my best with my bullydog on extreme with my ez on 2 was 14.51 as well....and i have a FASS, DTT, and a AFE stage II. Crazy Larry/ Boost fooler will go 13.9's...will find out for sure soon.

 

Have one on my 05 and love it. Supposed to be the same part for 06. Watch it on wet roads or stomping it across traffic it is really responsive and will send you sideways not that thats a bad thing. My kids are alwyas telling me to pour it on and suggesting people to race

 

might be because im racing at ovet 5K feet

 

I have had the superchip on my truc for about 14k miles now.No trouble at all.I have run the performance mode some,but the tranny acts so bad I just stuck it back on tow mode and left it.I have a friend with a 2wd quad swb,his truck is completely stock except the flashpaq on performance.He ran 14.77 in Lubbock,TX.Our air here is always 5000' and up,our actual altitude is 3700.The same night,with mine in tow mode,I ran 15.30 at 88mph.My truck is way more consistant though.This due to 2 things-the obvious 4wd launches(at 15pounds everytime),and the lack of defueling at shifts.The performance mode defuels real bad at the shifts.I think I will do the lock-up switch and go get him.As for your real question,yes,the flashpaq is great!

 

wow this is the first I have heard of guys running a superchips... I had always heard they were junk but easy to get??? Not so huh? I was going to get a Smarty but from the way you guys talk the flashpaq is that good... hmmmm

 

we race at 5000 but ive heard that the corrected altidtude(or whatever it is) is like 8K-9K so...? Could be wrong though.
