Vic,
Sorry if this has been addressed already - I went back several pages. I have the 1704A for my '05. At Ford today they told me a new flash is available for my truck, did I want it? I said no. Will my tuner still work if the dealer puts a new flash on the PCM? If not what do I need to do?
Thanks!

Any 1704 can be updated to a 1704-A/1706

I've emailed Superchips and am waiting for a reply. I will gladly pay for the upgrade. The tuner is awesome and I miss having it installed.

Steve, what brand of remote start do you have? Do you like it? Would you get a different one next time?
Anyone else with comments about remote starts???
Thanks for your input,
Howard

One problem I had was that the alarm would sometimes go off while the truck was running after an autostart (but before I went out and got in). The installers changed the shock sensor setting so that it is only active when the truck is NOT running. That solved the unwanted alarm events.
This brand is really the same as the Audiovox Prestige series (Audiovox owns the Pursuit brand, which is used to label "dealer-installed" alarm products), so unless you go to a dealer you'll want to search out the equivalent Audiovox alarm, which is functionally identical.
Hope this is helpful!

Exhaust with the Superchip
O.k. I love the power of the Superchip, but now I want more. What is the best exhaust to go with it? Will I benifit alot from an exheaust with the superchip? I am looking for a turbo back exhaust. I do not want it to be any louder than stock. I want to make sure that I will not have any warranty issuses. Can I still have just a 4" tip? Thanks for any info.

If in doubt, ask the dealer for the calibration revision Ford is going to give you, and call superchips to find out if it is in the tuner.

I should have given a bit more detail. Superchips told me that once (if) I get the new flash I need to hook the tuner to the truck to download the new flash into it, then send the unit back to Superchips. No charge except for shipping according to them.
