Default Computer Tune

Anyone know of a PCM tune that does not affect the trans?

I think I'm going to be looking into a custom flash.

The SuperChips tuner does nothing to the trans that I am aware of.

I run the SC with no problems. I like it.

Make sure that Hypertech is for your D and not just the RAM.

Good luck!

x2 Superchips baby!

What you are looking for is the SC Max Micro Tuner # 3715, they have been saving some $$ lately by including other vehicle tunes but just check because there are some newer/older models that are vehical specific out there still , some sites also suggest the Cortex and Flashpaq and they are not for us older guys, so do alittle checking if purchasing used. Im sure you already know but make sure its not vinlocked as well if used.

I wonder what the differences are between the Hypertech III and their Max tuners? I did a initial comparsion between them before I bought the HTIII and did not see any differences in features as far as for our 5.9 engines. Just saw a big price difference between them. I must assume their Max and Econ tuners are just modern replacements for the HTIII. I don't think the newer models can squeeze anymore power or fuel savings vs the HTIII for our 5.9's.

Here is the direct link for all Hypertech products available for the 1st Durangos with a 5.2/5.9 engine.

I was hoping that the tuner can reprogram the shift points on our tranny but it is not avail. I guess our 46fe tranny's are not programmable. The only thing it can do is recalibrate the speedo to compensate for custom size tires.

I sent Hypertech a E-mail asking them the questions I have for the Max tuner on the 12th. So far I have not gottin anything back from them on it. I might have to call them?

Also I asked them if they were able to update them on the computer. I see that this option is avalible on other equiptment. I would be sweet if you could install upgrades that you do to your truck to get a better tune or a specific tune.

Does anyone have an upgradeable tuner out there that can shead some light?

That PDF looks nearly exactly as the same illustration they had for the RAM with the hypertech III tuner. I'll see if I still have the PDF of it to compare. I wonder if they still have the HTIII pdf of that? I am almost sure it is the same, just they changed the tuner from HTIII to Max.

I just found a page that said the Max Tuner is internet updateable. I think I'm joing to get the Max Tuner.

I really would like to get a custom tune at a shop here in town but I've looked and there is nothing. One of the best things about joing this way is I'll have a OB-ll reader because of the 1998 year. That will be nice!

The Superchips Max tuner delivers Performance Tune: 21HP and 19 ft/lbs torque and Hypertech Max tuner looks a lot better plus it is internet updateable. I wonder if you can access the core and play with the settings via computer?

I think I'm going to get the Hyper for the Hydra. It just sounds good!
