Superchips question
Hello all!
I'm looking to buy a Superchips 3865 from Ebay. From what I understand this will only work on 1 vehicle at a time. What happens if I buy a tuner that is already installed on another vehicle? The guy looks legit with over 1000 sales and good feedback, but I'm still a little worried.

Yup, $100, I just got one from a vendor on e-bay for $230, they did not know how to tell it was VIN locked, and it was. Fortunalty they refunded me the $100 to unlock, so be VERY careful!!!
The units are very nice and compact compared to the 3815, and there are rumors that the 3865 may someday support shifting firmness (I am not holding my breath with this company).
But yah, go for it , just ask ALL of the questions and tell them how to check it (Just plug it into a USB port to power it, it will tell instantly if VIN locked)
Good luck,

Thanks guys. I put my old stereo equipment up on ebay. I will get this ordered in about 2 weeks. Can't wait. The only thing that worries me is that 1-2 3000 rpm shift. Do you guys get that too, and is it bothersome? Stock shifts about 2000, and 50% higher seems excessive.
I forgot who, but someone here sold their tuner because it bothered his wife, who drove the truck daily.

I emailed tech support at Superchips.. Here is the response I got. Do you find this info correct?
Can the shift points be manually adjusted, or are the preset tunes the only thing that adjusts the shift points?
Thanks
Matthew,
The shift points can manually be adjusted and fine tuned in each setting of the quick tune.
