Everyone keeps talking about the ability to change the transmission shift firmness. I went into the options of my flashpaq and there isn't one. Just rev limiter, tire rating and tire size. Where am I missing the trans option?

1.Shift points and firmnesses are NON adjustable for the enduser. They are already optimized in the tuning.
2. Peak Vs. MAx= peak is the most amount the program made in a daily usable normal driving within rpm-rpm.
And Max is the MAXIMUM amount made thoughout the rpms range when getting on it.
If you have any other questions feel free to email me directly or call.
Stay Tuned!!!

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

With a copy of a work order from Ford of your last update to the computer the charge is $75+shipping without a sales invoice.
With a invoice for the tuner their is a shipping only charge for the update.
Why you ask?

Hi SuperChips Ron,
Glad that you are here on the forum.
How about updating us on some of the things that SuperChips is working on for the Flashpaq?
custom tunes?
updates, upgrades, etc.
I have had my Flashpaq for a week now. It didn't help with turbo lag, but the increased power is nice. Makes the truck more responsive. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of mpg increases I can get (once I get tired of playing with it, that is).Thanks for the product.

I tried resetting it but it remained there. So I reloaded the stock tune in preparation for taking the truck back to the dealer if need be. That cleared the light and it didn't come back on during the drive to work today (all of 4 miles). I'll leave it stock for a couple more days and if the light doesn't come back on I'll reload the performance tune and see what happens.

Custom tuning will be handled by HPTuning. We are working with these guys to make a software package that will allow you or a shop to custom tune the truck. You can use the FP as a pass through from your home computer after modifiing your own tune, and then program your truck with the Fp.
Their is a feature that Data logging will be installed into the FP. This will allow you to plug into the truck with it running and log by MPH and by distance. 0-30, 0-60 ect. 1/4mile time, 1/8mile times.
If you would like to see a sample go to HPTuners.com
Stay Tuned!!!

Flahpaq Question
I just Installed the supeerchips flashpaq in my 05 f-350. It is awesome! The first question I have is about the dtr PO148, everytime I delete it, it always comes back. Should I worry about it or is it not that big of a deal. The truck runs fine but I was just wondering. Second is, everytime I set the power setting to economy before I start my truck. When I shut it off and check it before my next trip, it always returns to the performance power setting. Is that normal? If it is then it's no biggy I just want to know if there is a way that I can keep it on economy until I'm ready to change the power setting myself? Thanks in advance.

I have an 05 and don't have either of those issues.
Are you sure that you are actually changing the tune from perf. to economy. Does the Flashpaq actually take you thru a sequence of turning the key on and off, and does the screen actually say downloading files? If all of this happens, then go to view status, and it should say economy.
If all of this happens, then the next time you get in the truck, hook the Flashpaq back up and view status, it should still say economy. If it doesn't then you have a problem.

Kaipo...are you plugging the programmer in and reprogram your truck everytime you start your vehicle or are you just checking the DTC? Even when you clear the DTC you don't need to reprogram the truck. If you are programming Economy, but the FlashPaq shows Performance then you are not going through a full program sequence. Like JohnDeere said...You have to go through two "Key ON/Off" sequences...One for the engine file and the other for the transmission file. Once you program your truck there is no need to hook up the FlashPaq again unless you want to move to a different performance program, return it to stock or just want to Check and Clear the DTC's.
When you first plug the FlashPaq in the port plug it will boot up and tell you exactly what tune you have currently installed.
