Yes, you should update it through the computer first before loading a tune.

How do you fully uninstall it so it can be used in a different vehicle?

I guess that depends on just how different the vehicle is and the tuner you've purchased.

The Flashpaq 3865 will tune Dodge gas and diesel trucks and some cars. The Cortex 3950 will tune all Dodge cars and trucks, gas and diesel. However neither will tune another make.

Currently they do NOT support multiple vehicle tunes, though I believe it is under consideration.

Now if you want to use your tuner on another Dodge truck you must first return the tuned vehicle to Stock to "unlock" the tuner. Once that is done you can tune another vehicle. Select "Quick Tune" and then Stock to return your truck to stock.

Then late last week I filled up with 91 and drove it a while (to get 91 into the plumbing) loaded the 91 tune upped my rev limiter to 6000 changed 1-2 WOT shift to 5600 changed 2-3 WOT to 5400 set speed limiter to 140 and tried it out.... From dead stand still and whacking it to the floor resulted in absolutely NO tire spin on wet tar even.... Something doesnt seem quite right with that. With NO tune it will atleast break loose on wet tar. I do have a posi rear but hell I would think it should spin the stock tires (whatever comes on the 20's) with out even working. I should mention that this is a 2wd QC with 3.92 gears. What is going on with this thing.
i noticed alot more gain with my 4.7l it woke up alot with 91tune on 93 octane...i can spin my tires no problem wet tar cant get traction for squat....i have the same truck 3.92 qc with no tune i can barely spin my tires if any on bare roadway....

anyone else having trouble with these guys? they keep brushing me off about my calibration not being supported its taking for ever to get a damn tune on my truck. the money you spend on a tuner you would think they would have it done somewhat quick.

What are they saying about the tune for your truck? You were getting a custom one for your trucks application bc there wasn't one in the database, right?
