Default How tell if my truck has been superchip

Hey guys

I got my truck finally all fixed up thanks to warranty

It has a Borg Warner Governor Solenoid now, new transducer
A Rooster Comb updated part, bands re-adjusted
Manual Valve installed, check ball removed
They also installed a new Detent ball or something on the valve body

Anyways, today I went to clean out the center console to find an interesting receipt

Says that the previous owner purchased a 3865 Flashpaq Superchip Tuner
I'm guessing that the computer has now been retuned or something
I honestly can't figure out how to tell. I'd rather use hemifevers SCT tune vs these superchip ones

Is there anyway I can find this out or do I have to go to a dealership for a computer scan???
I'm hoping the stock system is back on there and he retuned it back to normal

I'm also finding another part on this receipt that's not telling me the mod
MFG code 263 Part 79540
Anyone got a clue what this is??

I noticed under the truck it has a magma flow exhaust system done to it as well

Thanks for your help guys
Cheers

I'm guessing you posted that from a phone lol.
To make it clearer...Most likely the previous owner set it back to stock to unlock the tuner. If he/she didn't do that, I believe the SCT will overwrite the SuperChips anyhow. But I'd email HemiFever and ask first.

I'm not sure if the dealer could set it back to stock, but if the drive isn't far you could go down there and ask if that's possible.

Only reason I'm wondering is the fuel is getting eaten

I filled it right full
100L

I'm sitting at 365 km and a 8th of a tank in the city
I'm pretty sure that's not very good
It's a Offroad edition and I'm not heavy in the pedal at all

Based on my math I should be getting 500 km average on this truck
13 mpg in the city, 17 highway
I'm barely getting half that. That's why I'm questioning this

Anyone got ideas about that besides a Superchip tune that's programmed on a high tune for octane???
I mean according to my math, on 90L I'm getting barely 4 KM per litre

Offroad ed has the 4.10 gear ratio so that could be why , I'm sure If you were easy on the pedal it would be better .

How big are your tires ?

Tires are sitting at 265/70/R17
Should they be bigger?? I figured this would even out the mileage
Maybe I'm wrong

Ive been babying this truck, don't have a heavy foot

Have you checked the plenum? And how is oil consumption?

Haven't checked plenum
Oil is exactly where I put it on my oil change 2000 km ago
Exact spot on the dipstick

Well that's a good sign. I'd check it anyway. And replace the precat o2 sensor. Get an NTK o2 if you decide to change it out.
