So im looking to get the superchips plashpaq programmer. I have a 2002 ram 1500 with the 5.9L gas engine. The website says i need the 3842 for my truck. anybody have any experience with this programmer and possibly this engine in particular??

Any issues i need to be warried about with this?? I've read about possible tranny issues?? and something about a tranny update for $40 i need to get?? I also read that some of the features my not be compatible depending on what the truck offers, for example re- calibrating the speedo? shift points?

The last thing i want to do is spend $350 and have an issue down the road. I already have a magnaflow cat back exhaust and k&n CAI. i would love the extra power that i've read it says it gives you and maybe a bit if mpg's. i also want the tire re-calibration because i am getting larger tires soon. i just dont want the extra issues that may (or may not?) come with it.

Thanks for any help and advice you can tell me!!

 

Really?? Nobody out there has one of these??

 

3842 is the newest model, betting most of us have older 3815 or 3865's. You have a 360, no trans tuning option for you anyway. You will notice a difference. I would recommend finding an unlocked 3815 or 3865 used, it will be cheaper, same tunes, etc. And you will have a code reader.
