With the FAQ and this shift schedule it should make it a little easier to understand.
Thanks for your time Papa, but I think Ill just give them a call. I still dont know what a schedule is, what it does, and how to load it on the programmer, and then into the truck.

Thanks again,

Black Mamba, from what I read on the Superchips site today, the tow tune calls for 91 octane. Here's a reference: https://www.superchips.com/forum/vie...t=7219&start=0

I had my 3815 on my truck, installed fine for months. I went to uninstall it and i got the "needs emulation tests" code. So i called superchips and the tech support said to just plug it into my pc and reload it and everything will be fine. soo...i did that. now it wont read my truck because my truck isnt stock.

im going to take a guess and say that now i have to pay the dealer to flash it back to stock, like when the hypertech left traces in the pcm and the superchips wouldnt load? That happened when i first got this SC tuner. anyone else ever have these problems?

Wow, I always thought that you only needed 89 to run the tow tune.... Now I am wondering if I want to run the tow tune on my trip out to Colorado while hauling ATV's. Has anyone had experience with running the tow tune with 89 octane?

^ just saying prob no one has bc the tow tune requires 91 any less and you will cause pre denotation to your engine

Havent towed anything that i needed to changed my tune but i run 89 octane with my 91 tune.. doesnt seem to make a different with our gas here in alberta.
Cannot see a MPG difference between 89 and 91 tune so i just run with 89 octane fuel

I just wish SC would provide more information about the preloaded tunes.

Im mean, what does the performance tune entail? Same with the tow tune...what exactly is affected/adjusted?
