I believe the Mileage XS is the only tune to change shift points. You'll need the Advanced Trans Upgrade (US+$39.95) to adjust TM and Shift Points.

Try updating your tuner again. If you get the same result, call SC on Tuesday and they will help you. 1-888-227-2447 8-5 EST.

NO, just the opposite. I was a beta tester and have had no problems since I started. I believe it actually reduces wear and tear on the clutches because with reduced TM the clutches are not slipping as much.

Hello "Good Thread", I've read a lot of it looking for the answer to my question but I can't find one so I'm going to have to ask...
I have a 2002 Ram ..I bought it with a blown 4.7-motor , so I replaced it with a 2004 Hemi Motor And Transmission.. I didn't put Cat. Converters back on when I re-built the exhaust , and I changed the wiring harness from the dash to headlights , the dash wiring is still 02'..I also replaced the computer with a 04' Hemi ecm..Other than that everything is stock.
I've been studying different super-chips Tuners and options for more H.P. Better fuel mileage ,shift schedule, Exc......I'm happy with everything now "But" my 545rfe transmission shifts 7 times. @ 60 mph I'm running 1,500 RPM , I don't mind that but, when I run 30-35 mph without turning off the o.d. It wants to shift into o.d. and lug at 1,100 RPM.s .. With My truck motor not being stock in my truck, will this unit work for me ?
I am assuming the Super-tuner plugs in under the steering wheel , That part of my truck is still 02'. I don't know if there's a difference in the plug wiring between the 02' and 04'. I don't think it will make a difference , but I thought I would ask before I spend a lot of money on a product that I can't use because of the Hemi Motor Swap..

Disclaimer: I'M NO MECHANIC! The under-dash connector used by the the 3815 and 3865 Flashpaq is OBDII and the '03+ have OBDII http://www.google.com/search?q=obdii...w=1126&bih=946 I'm not sure what the '02s had.

It does. It makes changes to TM, Rev Limit, WOT shifts and uses a Superchips proprietary schedule. The quick tune is basically a tune with Superchips preset options.

If you want full control of everything, do like Mark said and upgrade to the advanced trans tuning. That makes an even bigger difference.
