I had issues when I originally bought the cortex. Had 3 different ones and every one of them gave me a "communications error" Has anybody else had this issue and will I have the same issue with the 3865? The 3815 works fine but I don't want to get jerked around like I did before by the "customer service" when they were apparently troubleshooting the cortex
Now the 3865 I have right now and it works just as well as the cortex did for me.
Hope you can get it figured out.

The reason I asked about the year of your truck because the 02-04 aren't going to get the tranny updates. So there is no point in paying a ton extra for a tuner that will do nothing for you.
The going price is 185-195 for the 3815.
Let us know what you decide to do.

Thanks OE. My truck is an 07' 5.7L. I guess I should ask about the tranny updates you're talking about. Are you saying that the 3815 won't be able to accept them or that the 02-04's won't be able to get them from the 3815, but my truck will? |The lame trans action on all new vehicles has been very annoying to me for many years now. I definitely want to get the one that will give me some control over what my trans is doing.
The guy wants $250 for it, but I already figured he was smokin something. Was able to find the 3865 online new for just under $300 shipped. Thanks for the going rate tho. May convince him to come down on it.

Actually both of what you said is true. The 3815 will not be able to handle the new updates.
And the 02-04's will not be supported by the new SC Transmission control. So if you had one of those 3 years then its a no brainer to ****** that up.
But for you it would be a waste of your time and money to pick one up.
So yes search and find yourself a good deal on a 3865 or a cortex.

no pretty sure the 04s will have the trans control.Teach is even running it in beta on his cortex right now. Reason the 03 and older trucks wont have it is because of the separate PCM and TCM controls.
Simple answer, buy an used unlocked Flashpaq 3865 or Cortex 3950 for $250 or less to use on your truck.
