New Flash Is Awesome...but

I had the latest flash installed on my truck two weeks ago, and I love it. Took a trip to So. Cal and back and it ran like new. I also have a SCMT which is programmed to Economy mode, so I returned the vehicle back to stock settings prior to new flash install. However, when I tried to restore the Economy setting it gave me a series of codes in the display, and told me to contact Superchips. I plan on contacting them tomorrow, but I was wondering...has anyone else had this experience? And if so, was the fix easy? Just wanted to field this question so I wouldn't be caught off guard when I call, and to let others know this may occur if they have the same setup as I do.
Thanks in advance,
Marty

Welcome to FTE Drivnfool !!!!

This is the achilles heel of the SCMT...
No online updates...
you'll probably have to ship it off to them and get it reprogrammed -
about $20 and two weeks should do it ....

I had the latest flash done on mine about a month ago to correct almost silent idle. It is getting better fuel mileage pulling my camper. It was getting 10-11 mpg. I got 13 mpg on my trip to NC. I had just taken the same trip 2 weeks before the flash and got 10-11mpg. Tow/Haul works much better. Now it sounds like a diesel at idle again.

It depends. Ask a good diesel tech at a dealership that you trust. He will know what's available for your truck.
