Default SCT flasher

Major props have to go out to the guys at SCT and those who helped them develop the new Mopar software. A little pricey, but these things rock. I am currently running a flash written by Marty at KRC. I was experiencing a flat spot in the throttle under certain conditions. I called him up, he opened my file on his computer, tweaked it, and emailed me the updated flash. I downloaded it onto the flasher, and then from the flasher into the pcm and boom- problem solved. The whole process took less than twenty minutes.

These thing have the ability to data log as well. You can plug it in, run for a while, and email the file in. Your tune can then be tweaked accordingly, emailed back, and on the pcm in a matter of minutes.

After years of computer controlled vehicles, I am still in shock that someone finally came out with something like this for Mopar.

I wish they would work for the 1996 year rams....It's OBD2- what is missing from the 96 to 97 that it can work on the later but not the 96??????

That's a good question. You may want to research whether or not a newer pcm would interchange. I have a 2000 1500 and I have a box out of a 2001 2500 with the M1 flash on it that works great. I am using my original box for the SCT tuning.

Hey mopowar,

How are you liking the SCT Flasher in comparison to the B&G? Are you noticing any significant gains with it? I noticed Marty's still protecting the other guys (B&G, superchips, etc) which I think is great, but did he give you a canned tune based on your specs to start and then flater lash it based on the data log?

I think it's fantastic that you can tweak the bejesus out of your computer to match yourmods, but I'll need to be doing several more before I think I'd see any gains from going that route.
