I just went on to Summit and saw what you are talking about. That picture they show is different than what the 3815 looks like, it has an extra button that the 3815 doesn't have. And the pic must be pretty new bc it shows the Mileage XS tune as an option.

Super chip questions
We have a 2003 quad cab 4x4 hemi and would like info about the super chip.
Does this really work? We would like extra power because we just bought a camper and also pull a boat.
Does it really help with mpg?
thanks

(though even with a heavier foot, my mpg has not dropped, so there might be something there).yes it does really work! you will feel a little extra power (don't expect miracles). but more importantly/significantly, you will experience an improvement in shifts. shift timing and firmness will be much more conducive to towing as she will hold a gear longer and produce a bit more power throughout.

Superchips Releases All New Flashpaq
Sanford, FL – When Superchips introduced the original Flashpaq, electronic vehicle tuning technology took a revolutionary leap forward. Flashpaq dominated the competition by offering outstanding vehicle performance with user-adjustable tuning features. By combining powertrain programming, data acquisition, and regular internet updates, Superchips introduced an advanced vehicle tuning device that not only increased performance, but also worked as a vehicle monitoring system, scan tool to diagnose and reset trouble codes, and driver performance data logger traditionally only found on expensive racecar data acquisition systems. Today, Flashpaq continues to be an industry leader maintaining Superchips status as the best-selling performance programmer company in the world.
After twenty-five years of performance tuning, Superchips proudly announces its newest revolution in hand-held programmers -- the Flashpaq receives a complete redesign for 2009 (part numbers 1855, 1865, 2855, 2865, 3855, 3865, 3875, and 4865). Superchips conducted exhaustive research and benchmarking including collaborating with customers and enthusiast clubs to find out what they liked about the first-generation Flashpaq and what needed improvement. These efforts, combined with the latest innovations in integrated circuit, software, and material design, resulted in a vehicle performance programmer that is more versatile, more reliable, more powerful, and more rugged while shrinking roughly 50% of the first-generation size.
The Flashpaq features new electronics for faster programming performance and better reliability inside a sleek yet durable new case design for simple one-handed operation. The small size and dimmable backlit screen make the new Flashpaq a complementary in-cabin real-time vehicle sensor display that fits in most universal cell phone holders. The easier to use menus and upgraded buttons are in response to customers wanting an intuitive programmer allowing them to enjoy their newly installed tunes even faster. A USB 2.0 plug upgrade was added to the board for fast and easy plug-and-go internet updates. All of this and Flashpaq still boasts the number one engine and model coverage in the industry and works with most intake and exhaust kits right out of the box.
The all new Flashpaq product line consists of eight part numbers covering a broad range of cars, trucks and SUVs -- two part numbers for Ford applications, GM family applications, Chrysler/Dodge applications, and one each for Nissan/Infiniti and Jeep applications. All eight are available for purchase in retail stores and online wherever automotive performance products and accessories are sold.
Whether you need power, performance, drivability, or improved mileage, Flashpaq, Mileage XS, Cortex, and Tirepaq from Superchips can provide it. Superchips has the number one engine and mode coverage in the industry offering a complete line of hand-held programmers for most late-model cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Cortex has at least four unique features not found in 3815: (1) a two-year powertrain warranty, (3) easier to use 'quick tuning' menus, (3) the capability to talk to gasoline and diesel vehicles with the same device, and (4) an Alumitec bezel with chrome buttons and rubber-grip case. The 3865 [replacing the 3815 this spring] will include the improved menus and communications capabilities; therefore, the big difference between Cortex and Flashpaq is the warranty. MDS on/off is in both product lines.

Tom, I ordered a 3815 from an authorized dealer last Wed. Then after I ordered they informed that they didn't really have it in stock. Anyway, on Friday, they told me that they were waiting on a shipment from ya'll. That there was a shortage on some chip that was needed and that my unit would ship on March 17th. So, would this mean that I am receiving one of the newer models? Thanks.

Hello,
I'm considering the purchase of a SC tuner for my 04 QC 5.7L; we have a pop-up slide in camper in the truck all year round and am interested in the tow program for better low end and shifting.
I'm confident that it will better our experience, but I need to convince the wife that it will actually pay for itself in increased MPG.
Can anyone comment further on the MPG impact? Maybe something specific to the tow program? If we can realistically squeeze out +2 or +3 MPG I think I can sell it.
Since owning the truck my MPG hasn't changed more than 1 or 2 points regardless of how I drive. When I put the camper on I lost about 2 to 3 points from weight and wind resistance. We're hoping to get that back and increase the power/torque and shifting.
Thanks,
BZ
