Freaking sweet. It still isn't updated on superchips website yet. Hopefully it won't be much longer.

I am going to have to pull a few strings with the Fiance. Because we got hardly any money. But I really want to do it. It is like one of the last things on my list.

Is this for real? The link/site isn't working for me? Is it working for anyone else?

I hope it's real, I've been waiting forever for this update.

The site seems to be down at the moment. It's saved in my favourites and IE can't open the flashpaq site or Superchips site.

I just downloaded the newest update from them (Oct. 9) as they also have a new "mileage XS" tune available free for flashpaq owners and they list the "mileage tune" and "4.7L Ram and Durango support" as the part of the new firmware update.

I noticed on the Durango forum they were looking for a 4.7L Durango about two weeks ago for Beta testing.

I wish I knew someone with a 4.7L so we could try programming their truck with my Flashpaq and see if the new update actually supports 04-07 4.7L's.

Firmware:
The operating software that runs the Flashpaq and is used to program
vehicles.

Firmware changes usually occur when a feature is added, a new vehicle type
is added, or a function is improved.


Database:
The package of performance calibration files that the Flashpaq uses to offer
different performance tuning levels.

Database changes can occur very frequently - as OEM’s update their
calibrations Superchips must support them!





I pulled that from the flashpaq site.
