i have a flashpaq on my 07 5.3, and yeah they will work on both yours, and your buddys motor... but. as far as i know (correct me if im wrong) most programmers you can only use on one vehichle, so once its set on your buddys, its done. he woudl either have to set his setting back to stock, and erase the memory from the tuner, then you coudl use it on yours.... as far as i know thats how it works... but also after reading everything on this forum, most woudl suggest a custom tune, rather than a programmer... and of course i read all of that after i had bought my flashpaq.... figures.

As noted above, once your buddy put his truck back to stock, you can use it on your truck.. Superchips has a section on their website to update the programmer for FREE. You can call them on the phone and they can walk you through the process.

 

Just this last weekend I compared the actual tunes from a SuperChips Flashpaq, and the Edge Evolution. The flashpaq seems to have better tuning to create MORE POWER. More aggresive, that is. Along with better transmission changes in line pressure.

 

The Flashpaq lets you adjust certain things like transmissions firmness that the Evolution does not. Butt he Evolution has a nice pod that sits on your dash so that you can see what's going on, such as real time gages for Engine temp, rpm, trans temp, etc...

 

 

The tunes from these boxes are about as custom as you can get. They spent a lot of time on them. But if you get a mail order tune, you will probably get someone elses ideas on what works and what doesn't. Some of the custom tune guys just raise timing limits and transmission pressures and call that a custom tune. There is a lot more to it than that.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
