well, i was told the 3865 doesnt do anything with check engine lights. same guy told me the vortex does pretty much everything the 3865 does plus a little more... im not 100% sure how accurate this is tho.
the reason i say that is because my check engine light is on due to an o2 senser and egr valve -- both are getting replaced but i like the option to diagnose and also kill off the light.

You need to start associating with people who actually know something of what they are talking about. Superchips reads & clears codes.
The differences between the Cortex (not Vortex) is contains tunes for more Dodge models on one tuner and comes with a warranty (which is void as soon as you do tranny tuning). The 3865 is all you need...

Amazing that they offer the warranty, then void it when you tune the tranny.
Since I have an 08, I'm gonna stick with my DSP. It shifts plenty fine for me (much better then stock) but I understand why you guys with the older trucks go with the 3865 for the trans support. It's a shame that it is taking DSP forever to get you guys hooked up.

I doubt Diablo will EVER do anything for the 03/04 guys for TCM support. Thats why i just went ahead and bought an 05 PCM and harness. Only issue now is getting the time to get it programmed and installed.
But IMO, for our trucks (gas) the only options for tunes should be the Diablo Predator (03+) and Trinity (04+) or the Superchips 3815 (03 only) or 3865 (04+)
