I want power, MPG, and longevity. Dream? Or is the tuner the way to go? Which tuner. Superchip 2714? or Superchips flashpaq 2815? Is there that much of a difference. Used or new? Can a used tuner just be plugged into my truck and work fine or do i need it reprogramed by superchips to clear the memory? Can anyone help with these questions.

If Superchips make a Flashpaq for your truck then I would go that route. I have one for my 07 2500HD and it made quite a difference in the truck. Are you looking for a handheld or are you interested in a custom tune?

 

Personally, unless I knew the person, I wouldn't buy a used one. You do take the chance of it not working properly if it doesn't have the latest tune for your truck in it. The Flashpaq gets it's tune off the website then you tune your truck. Getting updates that way is much easier than sending it back for updates.

I am looking for a handheld. How many updates can there be for my truck. Do you know is that the only diffrence between the 2714 and the 2815 flashpaq the downloadable updates.

The 2714 is probably the Max Microtuner. If the 2815 is available for your truck I wouldn't even think of getting the 2714. All of Superchips products are going to be Flashpaqs. The Flashpaq is so much easier and you get your updates right off the computer and you don't have to pay for them. I wouldn't even waste your time looking at the 2714 anymore if you can get a Flashpaq. You can go to www.flashpaq.com and research on there. They have a forum as well. Just get the Flashpaq and you'll be glad you did!!

I have a DiabloSport Predator Programmer on mine. It makes a big difference. I like the fact that i can change my tire size, fuel curve, spark curve, gear ratio, shift firmness, and s**t time. Those are just a few of the things it can do but my favorite is the real time data. You can watch almost every parameter on your truck through the handheld in real time. I bought my Programmer used off off ebay for $107 shipped.

I HAD a Diablo but their customer service s*cked!! I plugged mine in and it didn't work so I called them. They told me that my engine code for the 2007 Classic code "U" wasn't supported but it was for the 06. Same d**n motor!! They then told me that they had no idea when they would have a tune for it so I returned it and got the Superchips. Now that it's been returned, guess what, now they say they support it. I would have kept it and used it, but my experience with them blew so even if it is a better tuner I'll give my money elsewhere after that incident.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
