Install it, and don't worry.

Vic - You mention being able to adjust for tire size using the flashpaq on a diesel. I was trying to find a tuner that would do this a couple months ago and was told by someone at SCT that none of the tuners will on a diesel. Have they made some changes in the last couple months? Will the X-calibrator 2 be able to do this as well. Thanks for your help and informative posts.

The Superchips Inc Flashpaq is "new" compared to other tuners and does in fact offer gear/tire corrections on the 6.0L diesel.
This has been available for a few months now.

Mark or Vic,
I am looking at purchasing a tuner strictly for when I tow my 11,000lb fifthwheel. If that is all that I want to do is reprogram for towing is the standard max tuner the way to go?

The power levels are the same.

Vic/ALL - thanks a bunch for your input and expertise. I received my microtuner (1704A) and installed to the economy setting. Wow...what a difference. I need to install the performance just to see what it will do. Well worth the money!
