Best Ez Lynk Tunes For 6.7 Powerstroke (2024 Updated)

I am very happy with the ease of use and the power gains. I haven’t used the product for a long enough period of time to determine if there is any improvement in fuel economy. I drive a four wheel drive 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500.

I had to remove a few more fuses in the engine compartment than I thought I would (Onstar, factory radio, both headlights, both taillights), because I kept getting error 85 (I think), but once I figured that out, it was easy to program my truck.

Prior to programming my truck, I had to use 92 octane fuel to prevent pinging. So, I had to program my truck for Regular Fuel Performance Tune and continue to use 92 Octane fuel to prevent pinging, but even so, the power gains are very noticeable.

Once I get the pinging issue resolved while my truck is tuned back to stock, I will try the Premium Fuel Performance tune again and I would expect a really good power gain. If I get an improvement in fuel economy, I would give an even better review of the product.

I bout this mostly on the recomindations of this site. I have used other brands in the past with success of varying degrees. I just say that for the price this unit is very cheaply made. Although easy to use it dosent have the options that were advertised, only cookie cutter tunes.

Over all I should have went with another brand. Returned.

I installed this power programmer on a 1999 camaro ls1. I had wanted the premium fuel program, lower the cooling fan temperature and raised the top speed limiter. We use apple computer products here at my shop so, I had a friend bring his windows computer to the shop for the downloads.

We followed directions , made a quick call to hypertech and no problem. The programmer worked great. The camaro has a shift kit so, I did not change the transmission yet. Given time and a dyno run , the programmer can do much more for the car.

I chose Hypertech because they have a great reputation and many years experience with my 1999 camaro ls1.

Save your money. If you think you are gonna plug this thing in and turn your truck into a super car, think again. There is no noticeable change in power, fuel economy or anything else. Does not come ready to use.

have to download software to get started. Comes with a useless CD. Sure you can use it to calibrate new tires sizes, change shift points and rev limiters. but on a stock truck none of that matters much.

I got it to turn off the AFM, hoping maybe to get a little more. If you make other mods and then add this maybe you would notice some performance improvements. If you tune a stock truck hoping for a rocketship.

you will be disappointed.

This is a great tuner. As always it works best on diesel trucks, however, I own a 2007 f150 and it suprised me in it’s performance. I expected to not feel or see anything yet as I am installing the air intake, headers and 3 inch exhaust tomorrow.

But as my truck is raised 6 inches and on 35 inch tires, it doesn’t get the best gas milage. I would say if I baby it I can get about 12 to 13 mpg. After installing the hyper tech max energy tuner I was getting between 17 and 19 mpg when I drove the same way (babying it).

Still that is amazing. The entire goal of my spending 2k on the truck was so I could get at least 20 mpg on my truck as it is my daily driver. However, I am starting to think after I install the rest of these parts I may end up getting closer to 25! Yes that is unreal to say, but if you calculated mpg using miles driven against gallons of gas filled at the pump and came back with 19 mpg I think you would become a believer as well.

I plan on doing even more to get better mpg by only changing out the parts that help that aspect of it. Next thing I think I will change is going to be a coil pack for the starter, spark plug wires, larger oil pan, I am wrapping my long tube headers as well, and will be looking into cam shafts and valve springs also to find out how they may affect mpg.

I think if I can do all the little things that most people do not think matters then the hyper tech tuner will bring all of these elements into play and let me drive my truck without feeling like a grandma going 20 on the highway in a lambo.

lol.

While this tuner is easy to use once you download the proper software/drivers to your pc. The process of getting the proper software/drivers was a pain in the butt. Why the tuner wouldn’t be able to use the most up to date software is beyond me.

Maybe it was the software developers issue. Anyway, once the unit was updated it was pretty straight forward to make any adjustments you want. Took about 10 minutes once I decided on the details of the tuning.

Haven’t noticed any fuel economy gains yet.

This was a replacement for an older “Edge” model. It works as advertised with the advantage of 3 levels of power. It arrived quickly and in good condition. Installation was easy.

I put does then had a hard time finding one plug but the rest was simple and easy and right away from the start I noticed a great difference so much power now moves out great. Even empty it wants to go like never before.

I definitely recommend this product.

Purchased to add some umph to my trucks towing capabilities. Level two provided a noticeable difference but still didn’t really get the job done. Level 3 was a very noticeable power increase but I would not suggest it for towing unless you are able to monitor transmission temperature and egt’s.

Surprisingly the best thing I have done for my Mustang this far. I bought it so I could change my rear gear ratio, but before I got to that I added the 93 octane tune, disabled traction control, bumped up the rev limiter and adjusted the fan controls to a lower temperature because I was seeing the needle move a little hotter on WOT pulls.

Couldn’t believe how much this woke up my car and how much smoother everything seemed to run. Once I add in the 3. 73s this will be a totally different car. Was not expecting this from a box tune but with the bolt ons I have it worked wonders and the adjustment to my fans kept the temp needle from moving.

The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the instructions don’t match the computer software to update the device and the computer software looks like it’s from 1997. In 2022 they should be able to vastly improve this interface and have the instructions match the buttons available on the screen.

Otherwise incredibly happy with this product. Mods for Reference: Accurate 70mm TB/Plenum, JLT fenderwell CAI & Oil Separator, Flowmaster Catback. 93 Octane tune that was preloaded on the device worked great with these basic bolts ons.

I wish someone would have told me to go buy the Bama X4 tuner instead (which is the same price) and you get free tunes for life. SCT customer support won’t help with anything, they just tell you that you’ll have to get a custom tune from somewhere (it’s $500 per tune here locally).

I have a 100% stock ’03 GT, automatic. The SCT x4 description says that you can modify shift points, but they don’t tell you it’s only WOT shift points that are able to be edited. So if you’re going through town where it’s only 35mph speed limit but you had to goose it to get out into the traffic from a stop sign, it won’t shift out of 1st gear until 30MPH because you started off fast to get into traffic and it sees that as Wide Open Throttle for some reason.

(Go drive your car in 1st gear at 30mph and see how annoying that is). The Tuner is good if you’re going to be wide-open all the time, that’s for sure. But if you only do the track 2 days a month and drive everyday in a small town with no big speed limits, it’s not great.

Maybe it’s better if you have a 5spd, but for a 4. 6L/Auto, you’re going to need more tunes.

Sct x4 is great, does everything I’ve wanted it to and gives me a live readout of my gauges. I’ve got a 2006 6. 0 dually with 4:30 gears The blessed tunes on the truck did not work for me. All 3 of the tunes made my truck shift extremely hard, all the time with erratic jump of gears.

I asked for the to adjust the tune and they just told me to relearn the transmission. I tried multiple times, no change. Truck also blows black smoke under any load, in all of the tunes and averages 9-10mpg When I return to stock, no more hard shift, smoke or bad fuel mileage.

Fuel mileage goes back to about 13-14. Since switching tuners, I average about 16-17mpg, no smoking or hard shifts.

Check your battery voltage before programming and I highly recommend the use of a constant voltage power supply while programming. I used a standard battery charger to maintain battery voltage when I tried to tune my truck because I know programming is not quick process and that’s what I have at the house.

The first part of the process seemed to work, extracting the stock tune but when it tried to upload the aftermarket tune to my PCM it failed and had an error code 110DB. This left my truck immobile. Turn the key and nothing happens.

Assuming this was a problem with the tuner, I spent half the day on the phone with tech support while they remotely inspected and updated the BDX firmware using TeamViewer. Tech support was very helpful but in the end they could not see any reason on their side that would cause it to error and fail to program.

They said to try it a few more times to see if it would work. I did with no luck. They told me the last thing I could do is to send them the tuner and my PCM via overnight shipping at no cost to me so they would program it there.

I did not want to do that and since I have access to Ford IDS and have plenty of experience reflashing modules, I figured I’d just reflash my PCM with as built data from Ford. So I bring the IDS and a constant voltage power supply from work.

I hook up the power supply and decide to try the tuner one more time to see if voltage was the issue. and It worked flawlessly. My battery was the original battery and although I had no performance problems from it it was at the end of its life.

This paired with my charger that fluctuates voltage caused the program to fail. Note: the BDX showed a voltage of 13. 2v. Which is the first thing tech support asked. Unfortunately the voltmeter is only going to read the average voltage of the fluctuating output of the standard battery charger.

I will say that in the past I have used a standard battery charger while programming modules and it has worked fine and I suspect that if I had a good battery in my truck to start with it would have worked as well.

Adequate voltage is very important for any module reprogramming. As for the tuner it’s self, I like it. The throttle response is great. Right now I’m running the 87 performance tune. When I fill up next I’ll be trying the 93 tune.

5star’s tune does everything that’s advertised. However, I’ve had several key issues as noted in this review. Drivability: The first thing I noticed after installing the tune was a strong exhaust smell in my garage when parking my truck.

I assume this is due to running rich. I also noticed any time I decelerate, I feel my truck shudder hard as it downshifts. It’s noticeable enough that my passengers have mentioned it to me. After several attempts to contact 5star, someone answered and I was told they would send me an updated tune and that I should try a different tune in the meantime (I had the adaptive tune at the time).

So, I switched to the daily tune. The same drivetrain shudder existed here too. On this tune, on the hwy I did a WOT pull while passing a car. While WOT, suddenly I felt a large drop in power and my gauge cluster flashed a message saying “pre collision assistance not available” and my check engine light came on.

At this point the truck seemed to be in limp mode. The rest of the trip back home, the vehicle was in a low power mode and would not shift gears correctly. The previous mentioned shudder happened every single time I let off the gas pedal.

I hooked up my SCT tuner to check the codes and they were P0068(MAF Throttle Position) & P0471(Exhaust Pressure Sensor). I set the vehicle back to stock and the truck ran fine at that point. Days later I applied the prev mentioned updated tune to address the shuddering drivetrain.

I can’t say I really noticed any change here and at this point I had been trying to call 5star tuning for several days to talk through my issues. As of now, I’ve called them a dozen times, left a voicemail and sent an email all with no human response.

Fuel economy: I recently drove out west from the east coast and tested my fuel economy with the updated adaptive tune applied. I used mid-grade fuel (89-east, 87-west). The weather was great and the drive had little traffic.

I avg’d 17. 3 MPG over 1500+ miles of interstate driving. Upon arriving, I decided to remove the tune hoping my fuel eco would go up. On the return leg the vehicle was set to stock and you can see I avg’d 19.

1 MPG. Note, the return trip started with an hour of stop/go traffic. Then, through the entire great plains, there was very heavy wind that negatively affected my fuel eco significantly. Also, I used regular gas (85-west, 87-east).

I used cruise control on both legs of the trip and had it set btwn 78-83 depending on speed limit.

Tuner was an easy install. Within 50 miles noticed several improvements. Power was definitely improved and fuel mileage appears to be much better. Of course more miles is needed to establish a good review for mileage.

I will update this post. Again power gain is there noticed a high difference going up hill.

Newer trucks have a built in tow mode setting, but if you own an older truck that is in good condition this is an excellent upgrade. I own a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 5. 4 triton 2 valve/ cylinder and the 4R100 automatic transmission.

I’ve owned it since December of 2003. The previous owner had a Superchips added for towing in June of 1999, the type that plug into the back of the computer. It had fifteen sets of jaws that clip onto fifteen inlaided circuit lines in the circuit board.

After 22 years those clips wore into the circuit lines destroying them. So I purchased and installed a remanufactured computer programmed off my trucks vin. I noticed a significant lose in towing ability, but also noticed that it shifted smoother when not towing.

Technically has changed and now you can have both. So I purchased the Flashpaq. I first tried the Performance mode, but didn’t like it , it is to strong and shifts to hard for my liking. So I used the Mileage XS setting.

It performs well and shifts smoothly. I set my truck for Heavy Tow mode when towing my R. V. It is even better than the old Superchip. Truck seems stronger, shifts smoothly and holds longer on an up hill grade before the need for the transmission to down shift.

When I’m done towing I reset to Mileage XS. I’m not interested in mileage so much as I am in how it runs and shifts Couldn’t be more satisfied.

I added this when I installed the RC Cat-back. I immediately noticed improvements on all fronts. MPG went up. Throttle response improved. Power and torque both definitely improved. Last night while driving on the freeway, while making a lane change, I put my foot into it a bit and the truck downshifted as it accelerated.

It was a bit of a surprise to me how the truck responded because I’m used to the ride without the chip. Really felt the power come through. I can’t be sure of this but it felt like the back end broke loose a bit.

I was using the 87 octane map. The truck tows my boat just fine on stock but the experience and power delivery is so much better on the superchip. Shift points are spot on and all the power seems to be just sitting there in the immediate background waiting to be used.

San Vicente Reservoir in San Diego has a really steep hill at the entry. Again, my stock truck handles it fine, but it feels effortless on the superchip. Not paid to write the review. I just really like the product.

After putting 295/70r17s on my truck, it took a freakin nose dive regarding its power and highway speeds. It was a turd and made me second guess going with bigger tires. I still plan on regearing it but for now this programmer has 100% satisfied the issues.

I can tell you this thing works. I have only used 87 setting and set my tire size and stock gear ratio 3. 55. Well worth it. The truck feels way better with this childish tires lol. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not going to fix it 100%.

It definitely isn’t stock at 60+ with accelerating. But there are certain hills in my area that really pushed the truck with the bigger tires and the before and after with the programmer was certainly noticeable.

Again, don’t expect to do burnouts if you can’t already do them, but if you just put some bigger tires on your truck and don’t wanna tell your wife you kinda don’t like the way the truck feels now after dropping $1600 on some new shoes for it, get this.

IšverstiShow in original languageI was looking for something to reprogram my speedometer for bigger larger tires on my truck. This programmer does that! You just have to know what the tire height is (exactly) and it does the rest.

As a side benefit (for me) it also has preprogrammed tunes for your truck, ranging from economy (which I used), to power, towing, and performance. The only drawback is that is only works with 1 vehicle at a time and you would have to reset your truck back to factory settings, in order to program something else (it is VIN Locked).

The price is reasonable for the preset tunes and tires, you can also program shift points for your auto trans, if you wish. Myself, I used the Economy tune and it has changed the shift points for me.

I can still use “Tow/Haul” mode on my shift selector, without effecting anything. Overall, my fuel economy is slightly better, on my 2500HD Silverado, driveability seems better and the speedometer is correct again!.

IšverstiShow in original languageSo got this tuner in 2 days in the mail took it out of the box it came with good instructions, liked that it explained what all the tuning does. I hooked it up and it was pretty easy to understand.

I let my car run at idle for 10 mins noticed right away the idle was much more constant no drop off when the engine warmed up and smooth. My exhaust for sure sounded louder and more rumble to it ! So went to drive it on the road and wow the throttle response, was there and the power on a performance tune no lag got up to speed much faster and shifted quicker.

Pros: Good price for it Noticed the increased power/torque Lightweight Cons : You can only use this on one car or you will need to go back to your stock tune or to use the scan feature on a other car/truck.

Weird it says just performance tune not one for 91 or 93 but it does say just use both gas grades.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’ve had the tuner for a couple days now and it definitely woke my 02 gt up. Just got the car and it was bone stock auto convertible just for driving back and forth to work every day.

Don’t really ever plan on trying to make big hp with this car since I’ve already got other cars for that. I have the sctx4 in my 08 3v and I’d say it’s definitely better especially having the capabilities of having custom tunes sent to it.

But if you don’t plan on ever getting a custom tune or just want an extra little bump in power this thing will do it and it’s over $100 cheaper than the sct. It’s very easy to use and id say the claims of 30hp and 40ft lbs of tq are pretty close with this thing.

I’m using the 91 performance tune and also adjusted my shift points up and the shift pressure up. The car went from running a 15. 2 @ 90mph to a 14. 6 @ 97mph. I did add a cheap eBay cold air intake along with the handheld but that was it.

Trying to get the car down in the 13’s that should be plenty for an every day work car. Plan on doing a j-mod and 4. 10’s next. Also have a 75mm tb, sve intake plenum, tb spacer, and intake plenum spacer doubt those mods help with much but they were cheap which is the whole concept of this little project.

But back to the handheld it’s definitely worth the money if your car is basically stock and you just want an extra little boost in power and never plan on going with a custom tune.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis unit is better suited for those that know they have exact areas needing more performance. The average person wouldn’t know how much spark or rpm to add or subtract while in a certain gear.

They wouldn’t know exactly where their power band is optimal in each gear. The SCT removed the drone and I am sure it will do everything else advertised. This unit is for you if you have technical information like a pre-existing dyno.

Don’t shotgun it!!!! That could cost your engine.

IšverstiShow in original language2012 F150 3. 5 EcoBoost bone stock other than this tune- I’ve had this only a couple days. I had some challenges getting the device updater software to work. In fairness it worked better once I made some updates to my computer.

But I haven’t had issues with any other software previously with that same computer. In the meantime while trying to update the tuner firmware before the software was working consistently, the device got stuck.

I had to call SCT and it took about an hour to get a rep. Once I had him, he was able to unlock the device and update the firmware in about 10 minutes. I loaded the 87 Octane tune. I noticed subtle yet very obvious performance gains.

Most noticeably stronger and more smooth lowend torque. This made driving easier, more satisfying, and most importantly improved how the cruise control performs over rolling hills which is one of my major beefs with the stock.

There is no more lagging, sagging, slowing down etc. Overall I’m pretty impressed with performance given that I’m using the lowest tune. I haven’t driven it enough to give a legit MPG comment. But so far, about 50 miles, it seems about the same.

This combined with the performance improvement of the lowest tune is reason enough for me to give this a 5 star rating. BUT. I ordered an MPT tune and it was delivered very timely. I loaded it to the device with seemingly no problem.

When I went to my truck and plugged it in, I now have the same communication error that stuck the device before. So now I have to commit another 2 hours of time between 9-6 EST M-F to get this resolved with SCT.

I have no doubt that they will fix it once I get a rep. But for the time I’ve spent getting this tuner to work, I feel like they owe me money. And by the way I’m very capable with computers and know what to expect.

Thus I’m giving an overall rating of 4 stars. But, I would say the tunes themselves are worthy of a 5 for a relatively easy and cheap bang for the buck performance upgrade. And I’m looking very forward to trying out the higher tunes.

IšverstiShow in original languageSo the tuner itself is nice. The display is big and bright and easy to read. The features it has already pre loaded onto the tuner were only an option to change my tire size which was one main reason I purchased it.

The initial setup on the computer is straightforward, then plugging into the truck and installing is straightforward and easy. I was dissappointed that it doesn’t come with any preloaded tunes. Because now you’ve bought this unit and the only thing I accomplished with the $400 invested was calibrate my speedometer, in which case I could have spent half the price for a competitiors tuner.

Something that shoppers should be aware of is that the investment does not end at $400, that’s your starting point. It’s $400 paying for custom tunes to install on your truck. That’s where I am dissappointed because it is misleading in the sense that it tells you all the features but nowhere states you won’t have any tunes on the tuner and also I believe they (sct) need to specifically releases what all features are availiable for this truck specifically because you see a long list of options and at the bottom, yes it does say not all options availiable on all vehicles but overall, it was dissappointing.

My truck setup is 2013 Ram 1500 with a Pro Comp 6” lift and 35/12. 50r20 tires. I had a difficult time with getting the software updated either via wifi or line connected. Ended up getting it updated via wifi before I could make any changes, totally fine.

The problem was before it was updated the unit kept freezing on me and took about four attempts for it to finally update. Once updated it was pretty self explanatory. Tire size adjustment wasn’t super accurate to what the device said my tire size was and what my tires actually are.

I have 35” tires and had to set the unit to 33. 5” tires for the speedometer to be accurate. Checked with 3 different gps softwares to confirm actual speed. It’s possible I missed something. One thing I didn’t read and maybe some already know this but I had to learn.

When you select a tune you should drive it for about 75-100 miles before the tune actually finds it’s groove so-to-speak. Again, some people may know that but I didn’t. So the mpg initially was not good but since I’ve driven it for a while it’s improved.

Now that I’ve driven a while and we’re about to take it on a trip I feel pretty confident in the tune/settings.

2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 2. 5 inch lift on 35’s. I am very satisfied with this product. At first I received a used one that was not functioning properly however summit was quick to resolve that issue and send me a new one.

I did the 87 tune, here’s what I found. Mpg went from 15. 4 to 18. 9 average (over 19 if driving conservatively). I changed my fan to come on at 212 instead of 226. (I was running 225-235 degrees at highway speeds now I’m 205-215! Much better!) Corrected my speedometer to adjust to my 35in tires.

Slight increase in performance/throttle response. Haven’t tried the 91 or 93 tune yet but I am very happy with the results.

Installed on a 2017 Camaro SS good bang for the your buck as far as tuning goes but really paid off by disabling the AFM. Probably saved my engine in the long run. I don’t think these GM engines will last much over 125k miles with AFM enabled.

This tuner gives you a decent tune out of the box and is plug and play. Would have upgraded to the predators platinum if I had to do it again knowing what I know now. But very satisfied. Not going to give a lot of power or torque but disabling the AFM was ultimate objective.

Does give nice throttle response and modify a few parameters.

The reason for me ordering the DiabloSport Predator 2 tuner was to hopefully adjust some of the shift points and make for a smoother ride in my 2016 Chevy Colorado. Visited the DiabloSport website after reading a lot of good things about the Predator 2 and verified that it would work with my vehicle.

Also went on the Summit Racing website and it listed this tuner as well as being compatible with my truck. Shipped the following day and received it without any problems. Unfortunately when I went to start the tune (after already going through the update as specified in the manual), it comes up with an error saying it is missing the tuning file for my model and make of truck.

Went through the update process again just to make sure everything was current and got a message from DiabloSport that the file for tuning my truck is not available at the time and that I would be notified via email when it was available.

After some time researching this problem on Google and various forums, it is apparent this is a common problem with DiabloSport. There are people that have been waiting over a YEAR to receive the files for their vehicle and have yet to receive them.

Needless to say, if you are looking to purchase this tuner, don’t believe either the DiabloSport website or the Summit Racing website because they are not accurate. Returns process has taken a little over a week to receive the credit to me credit card.

While I place most of the blame on DiabloSport, I feel as those Summit Racing should make sure that the products they say will for certain vehicles, actually work for those vehicles.

I bought mine hoping to tune my 01 C-5. It never would do right. I called holley ( holley ownes the preditor) They said call back in three days which I did. They said they had put a new program in the unit and when I installed it that it would work fine.

I installed it and it was just as bad if not worse than before. You would be better off to open the window of your car and throw the money out at least you would know what happened to it. I paid taxes and all over 350.

00 for the one I have and then I had to pay a man 250. 00 to tune my car. I would be very happy to sell mine foe 100. 00. Any takers??? J U N K ! ! ! ! ! I am sure there are those that say it is a great piece at a great price and that it works perfect.

I am surely not one of those. Buy at your on risk and hope for the best.

Our fuel mileage on our 2016 Sierra was 15. 9 under the best conditions and highway driving. After tuning we are getting 21. 9 steadily and that’s one of our reasons for getting a tuner. This tuner isn’t going to make your truck a hot rod but it will eliminate the AFM that bounces from V4 to V8 all the time.

It tows our 6000lb trailer so much better now since we changed shift points and transmission pressure no more hesitant shifts it’s exactly what we needed for our uses.

I spent some time trying to find the cheapest way to program my speedometer after I had installed 4. 10 gears in my 2010 F150 with a 5. 4. I was told Forscan would work, it does not and will not work on 2010 an older f150 trucks.

That was a $20 lesson and I now have two code scanners. So I did some more research and even called the ford dealer and the dealer couldn’t even tell me if they could calibrate t or not. If they couldn’t I would be out another $70.

If they could fix it then I would have spent $130. To make the dealership the worst option of all I had to leave my truck with them for who knows how long because they claimed they had to send the computer back to ford.

After reading tons of reviews I decided to go with Flashcal. For the money I figured I was better off and I could always adjust the speedometer again if I changed gears or tire size at a later date. The steps in the manual were not like the pictures in the manual.

So I had trouble and called tech support. They were more than helpful and explained that the updated software just didn’t match the manual. Once I understood what was going on it was pretty straight forward.

Like others I had to program a smaller tire size than what I have to get the correct reading.

2018 F150 ecoboost with 2019 Raptor 35″ (34. 5″ actual diameter) tires and wheels. Like some others I had to set the tire diameter to 33. 5″ to get speedometer to match GPS speed on my phone. The good – – I liked that I could lower the TPSM on the rear only to accommodate the lower air pressure I run, I don’t carry many loads and lower the pressure in the rear tires to get even tread wear and better ride.

The bad – – I didn’t like that after putting in the correct 34. 5″ tire diameter the speedometer was now off showing 5 mph fast at 65 mph. – After changing the TPSM to 33 psi my warning light came on the next morning (after letting the tires cool over night).

I went back in to lower it to 32 but it showed the stock value at 35psi when it was already changed it to 33psi. It does the same for the tire diameter. So you need to write down the values after changing them so if you need to go back in you know where your at.

So Superchips if you can have the Flashcal show your new inputted value when going into that field it would be nice.

I installed the Superchips Flashcal in my 2017 F350 with a power stroke diesel. What an amazing upgrade. The speedometer is calibrated perfectly and TPMS is no longer an annoyance. I do have to be aware of the throttle response when leaving a stop light as the rubber on my rear 35” tires barks if I am bit easy on it.

Not a real problem that I don’t like just a lot of horsepower with when using the programmer.

So I bought this product about 6 months ago. When I installed it, it was great. You could definitely notice a change in shifting patterns and more power. All was good until I installed a new Carven TR on my 2003 tahoe.

I have been running the “tow tune” on my tahoe since I purchased the superchips Dashpaq and when the muffler was installed, my car ran like a dying dog. It lost all low end power. I thought maybe it was the muffler, but when I took off the tune, it ran fine again.

I then tried the “extreme tune” and the “87 tune” and they all ran the same. They definitely should advertise this product for stock vehicles only. Because if something as small as a muffler change affects the way the vehicle drives on these tunes, imagine with bigger changes like an intake or a catback system.

Overall I wish they would provide more info on the product. Save your money and get a blackbear tune or any custom tune for that matter.

This tuner has completely changed the way I view my truck. It has the 4. 6 3v which is a huge dog from the factory, and admittedly after many bolt-on parts it still was. This tuner mostly changed that, in terms of keeping my motor revved up and allowing me to be in its prime power band more often, not necessarily making more power(maybe 5-10 peak hp gain on the 91 octane tune running 93 octane pump gas).

Where this tuner shines is its three separate transmission maps, that completely changes the way the trans feels and shifts. The shifts are extremely fast and aggressive without being Jerky and power delivery is phenomenal and extremely smooth.

If youre lookin for a way to change the way your truck feels and/or make it go a tad faster, this is 100% the way to go. Now my favorite thing about this unit is the sheer amount of live data that you can view at once.

I just wish there was an easier way to change the color as well as more temperatures for the different fluids. Either way, 100% recommend this tuner to anyone hoping for that little bit if extra customization after doing basic bolt-on mods.

Ordered the DashPaq Diesel for my 2015 F350 XLT 6. 7L Power-stroke Turbo Diesel with 153k miles on it. Was skeptical at first, but this made a huge difference! My truck is completely stock right now and the first thing I notice with the built in “Extreme” tune was the throttle response, very little hesitation which improved my 0-60 drastically.

Not only that, gear shifting was a lot smoother. I was hoping that I could erase the Ford MyKey 80mph limiter because I don’t have the master ignition key but I am still very excited with the performance.

A little expensive, not sure how much it would cost to get a custom tune from a shop, assuming it would cost much more though. Haven’t tried the fuel economy tune yet, don’t know if I want to seeing how the truck performs now! Note: I’ve seen videos with a truck being tuned while running.

For this application, ensure you start the tune with the ignition key in the “run” position (do not start engine), then follow the on screen instructions. I will definitely be upgrading my air intake soon for an even better experience.

So my 2008 F-250 Super Duty with the 6. 4L Powerstroke displayed a check engine light. Preliminary investigation revealed EGR malfunction. Then a cloud of white smoke out the tail pipe. EGR cooler malfunctioning.

Texas does not require Diesel powered motor vehicles and motorcycles to submit to Emissions testing. So I deleted the whole EGR system to include that blasted cooler and the entire exhaust system. I then plugged in the H&S Mini Max tuner, downloaded the files to the trucks computer.

Started the truck and This truck never responded as well as now. My MPG went from 12 to 17 and the sound of those turbines of the turbo chargers when you turn the truck off sound like a jet!! Some black smoke but only when you accelerate.

But when you accelerate its Unbelievable!!! Oh and it’s on the lowest setting and on stock mode! I won’t even try the Wild Mode! I could increase the HP by a touch of a button but there’s really no reason for that other than racing.

I guess that’s why it’s called a race tuner but you can use it just to tune it and then store it in case you have to download a file or something like that. I’ve had this tuner for about 3 months. I only used it to tune after the deletes.

I haven’t had an issue since! Totally recommend the tuner. Best $600 I’ve spent onmy truck. I’m sure there are cheaper tuners but you will be impressed by this one.

I was nervous to order a 600$ piece of hardware that’s no longer even in buisness. It’s been installed for 3 weeks and is the best thing ever for my 07. 5 ram2500. Installation was a breeze. I went from 13.

5mpg on the display, about 11 hand calc. To 19. 6mpg on the display and 19. 5 hand calc!!! Didn’t expect gains anywhere near this. Pair this with 4″ flo-pro dpf delete pipe to keep the tail pipe stock looking.

The 4″ pipe has just the right tone and volume, 5″tbe will def piss off your neighbor. Install instructions: 1)Install minimaxx (20min) make sure it’s hooked to a key on hot. 2)unplug and disconnect all connections from exhaust (pb blaster and an oxypropane torch were my best friend here for all the threaded connections) 3)drop exhaust from turbo to resonator (save yourself time and struggles and put a jack under the tranny and remove the tranny cross member) 4)install new straight pipe 5)unplug 3 egr plugs 6) on minimaxx select install tuning and the minimaxx will guide you through everything! Downloading tune takes about 10-15min.

And no check engine lights. Oh yeah, don’t scrap your exhaust because you might need it on day.

Bought a H&S for my 2009 duramax, really woke up the truck. I recommend putting a air dog or similar on. You’ll need the extra fuel if you run on performance mode. Had a 2008 duramax two years ago with a original H&S mini max and it was on since new never had any problems.

H&S is the way to go👍.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleI Installed Derringer with no issues. super simple install. Love the tune and seeing real time temps etc. Ran the truck for about a week and half before pulling my 5th wheel on a very long trip.

The trucked pulled great and the temps stayed where they needed. I was loving it! About halfway thru the trip the Idash showed the Darranger was in fault mode. I ran diagnostics and it said I needed to update with latest firmware.

I attempted to do that but the upload would not take after repeated attempts. I then called Banks a few days later and so now waiting on new Derringer. Disappointing, but hoping to see replacement soon, truck ran great when it was operating.

it’s been a week now and still trying to get tracking numbers to see if its shipped yet.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleLove it. This product delivers nice smooth safe power. I upgraded from a Stealth to the Derringer for the additional power and the protections the Derringer system offers.

It also offers lots of expandability with additional sensors as needed. The product is researched and tested. I am happy with the results the package provides.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleGreat addition to my 17 F250 Lariat, I do light towing, just a cargo trailer and motorcycles with camping gear. My truck used to hesitate while towing and sometimes during normal every day driving conditions.

I have personally used both setups available for the derringer, with the switch and the Idash. Highly recommended!!.

Ordered this with aspiration of upgrading to a pro charged motor. The tuner and pcm installation literally took 5 minutes! The suction mount and routing of the tuner was easy as well. The tuner walks you thru each step and in no time I had tuned my vehicle to the 91 octane tune.

Instantly I noticed a quick throttle response and although not Dyno’d I’d say I’ve gained approximately 25 hp. My car was fun to drive in the beginning but now it’s a blast.

Install of the new PCM & Diablosport T2 EX tuner was a breeze. Easy to follow instructions and noticed immediate improvement in performance. Looking forward to getting a custom tune to take full advantage of all the engine upgrades.

fixed the transmission shifting issue in 1st. no more jumping coming to a stop. mds is now off. good additional settings. gauges if you want to keep the tuner mounted.

I have a 2019 F150 with the 3. 5 twin turbo, rated at 375HP. I modified the intake with an open filter, which added a bit of power. My wife’s car uses Premium, as do our motorcycles, so I put Premium in my truck also.

Even without a tune, it does help. Then, I bought this. Using the 93 Performance tune, it really adds a lot of zip! It took about 5 minutes to install the tune (and about 5 minutes to revert back when I take it into the dealer for service, don’t forget to do that).

I notice a huge difference in overall kick and definitely smoother shifting. I seems like a whole new truck. I should also note that my gas mileage, with the tune, seems to be a bit better than stock.

SO, this gives me better performance and better mileage. This tool is really worth the price.

I don’t have access to a dyno or any fancy equipment, but let me tell you, my truck is hauling a** now ! Woooooo ! Cold air intakes and other bolt ons should be a secondary option, the tune should be the first thing you do if you want performance gains.

Works perfectly as described! Easy plug and play after the Pcm is swapped with a unlocked Pcm. Surprised by the difference and feel of the truck. Snappier throttle and definitely feel a difference in shifts and acceleration.

This tuner and pcm swap really woke up ram. I am not mechanical at all. I was able to install the new pcm and tuner my self. This is a great product that gives all I wanted for my ram.

GMC 2500HD 6. 6L Diesel Denali: This easy to install device definitely delivers the goods. CON: Routing the wire to the cockpit was the most difficult part but I opted to rout via the door jam vice firewall.

PRO: I haven’t noticed a decline in MPGs but finally being able to get up and go when necessary would even be worth the lost of some efficiency. Merging onto a busy highway with the boat or camper has gotten much easier and safer.

Gladly, I didn’t have to give anything up. Just to bypass the warranty headache I unplugged and hid a few wires and survived my first service appointment with the Banks Tuner. AND don’t overlook the critical role of Pedal Monster.

It breathes life into the first 50% of the gas pedal. Summary: Banks releases the power you know exists but cannot achieve in the OEM setup. Looking back, I should have bought this product sooner.

I can feel it on settings 4, 5, and 6 at full throttle. The only time I have ever really used full throttle is to test this device. I pull a 46ft fifth wheel toy hauler loaded to 18k lbs and there is no noticeable difference on setting #3 when pulling it.

The truck pulled the camper fine stock, and only had 25k miles on it. I don’t get in a hurry when pulling that much weight. One problem though. About every 10th time or so I start the truck the derringer fails to power on.

I have found that I have to shut down the truck, open the door, unplug the derringer from the obd plug, plug it back in, and then restart before it will function. An expensive piece of tech to have such a glitch.

Installed the Ram Air 1st, in stick configuration, all OK! Friday installed the peddle monster, i-dash and the derringer. I pulled the MAP sensor – it was cooked up 76k miles. I powered up and instantly got limp home message and MAF sensor P0102.

Looked at MAF, looked OK, but cleaned with sensor cleaner, dried it and reinstalled. I cleared the code by the Idaho. Powered up and still had code + service engine light, set up an appointment with dealer 4 Monday.

Left the peddle monster and idash, removed the ram air and derringer Saturday. Late Sat evening, the MAF code and idiot light were gone (stock configuration). Ran PU 70+ miles today, no codes, ran great, canceled dealer appointment.

I will install the derringer 1st and see if there is any code repeate, then install the ram air and check again. I did some resurch, Saturday evening on the forums, there were guys that had warranty problems at local dealers, running the same setup.

Also, speculation that the freer flowing ram air could confuse the ECU and throw a MAF code. Funny, no code on the plugged MAP sensor. Anyway, that is the plan for Monday, hope all works as planned, want to see how the PU likes the derringer and ram air.

Overall the installation was easy to do. Couple of minor issues. The instructions are a bit outdated. In section 9 they state to refer to the Banks iQ software and installed kit, owners manual for software installation and operation instruction before beginning section 9 / Automatic Transmission Learning.

No such instructions came with the unit. Called tech support and they said the truck just needs to be driven in each power level before putting a heavy load on it so the transmission will learn when to shift.

No software installation is necessary. Seems the instructions are outdated and need to be revised. Next issue was feeding the cable through the existing harness grommet as per the instructions. The existing harness is very tight going through the feed through.

I was worried that I would rip the Banks cable connectors off the wires while trying to pull the through. Also it’s very hard to get to from the inside of the cab. I opted to drill a hole in the firewall in a more convenient location and add my own grommet.

This worked very well and was much easier. Last issue is the mounting velcro for the tuner. The glue on the back of the pads would not stay secure and just kept peeling off. I put additional glue on the pads.

So far so good. The superguage is great, easy to set up and install. Overall I’m very satisfied. Gave it 4 stars since Banks needs to update their instructions and provide better mounting for the tuner.
