An update from Scott on '08 4.7L support and future trans options support for 4.7L. 
The 08 4.7L update is now online to download for those who have been waiting.
I have also been told that after the HEMI advanced trans options are released to 3865 and 3950 owners that the Dodge team will be working on getting that option to the 4.7L owners who own 3865 and 3950 programmers next.
I will be sure to post dates for release as I receive the data.

hi
I just run into a new feature on my 3815!!!!
timing retard!
I'm running tow mode at the moument. cause I have the caravan back there when I was on my holiday trip.
I was also doing some measurements on the way, then I find the timing adjustment. Well
I did no change on this cause it was a little confused in the description. Is this timing a retard ONLY? I would like some timing adding. cause I have no problems with ping at all. I would like to increase timing a little. But the 3815 only retard from what I can see, that I only need if I get some detonation.
so next problem. I have the 5.9 l engine on my 2002 ram the 3815 suport this, but do the new 3865? there is some that say "No real diffrence between the 3815 and the 3865 other than a newer sleaker design and inteface."
wil the transmission tune be able to this model on the 3865? is there any benefit to trade in...

oh yes, the benefit is that superchips gets more $$$, bling bling! I can't believe how soft some of you people are on the whole 3815 issue not being able to hold the transmission program. one dude was all, "my son saw what you typed." I know some of you feel this thread is not the place for all that gibbrish, but that guy needs to do some self-censoring. Plus (and this comes from a school teacher) I could care less about your son, move him away from the computer screen, he needs to be outside playing anyhow. I've decided not to do anymore mods to my truck, henceforth, I will not allow superchips to drain anymore $ from my bank account. I will stick with my 3815, but feel very unwilling to give more $ to a company that really made shady advertising and led people to believe that the 3815 would be capable of all future updates. We all saw "coming soon" advertised, and to be honest, from the day I received my 3815 to now...there has been VERY LITTLE change in its function, even after multiples updates. Toodles all.
