A Distaste with Electronics: "Why I Love My 12v"

[esommer2500]

While at Schied's last weekend, I picked up a Superchips Max MicroTuner for my bosses 02 Duramax in an attempt to help him out with his power problem. Seemed simple enough, plug it in and choose from one of three available power settings. The Superchip also has the ability to read codes, which I thought might come in handy. Everything went fine for awhile, the computer would save the stock program, and then I indicated which level of power I wanted, as well as whether or not I wanted the speed limiter raised. The problem came when the computer went to install the new program on the truck. It read an error and told me to call Superchips, which I haven't gotten around to yet. To make matters worse, the truck is 90 miles away, so if they tell me to pass 'Go' and collect $200, it's gonna have to wait until the weekend. I'm seriously thinking of just taking the thing back and telling the boss just to go buy another Dodge. ( The Chevy was a political move, we poured alot of concrete for the owner of the dealership. )



MAN I LOVE MY 12 VALVE!

Was it an '03 with On-Star? Some of the D-Maxes which have On-Star don't like to take the new programming.



I would rather have a new 12v then a new 24v though!

No On-Star. It's 1-1/2 yrs old and has about 60,000 miles. It really seemed simple enough, I'm going to call Superchips tomorrow and then go see Schied's.

I called SuperChips and they need the VIN # off the truck and I have to send the thing back to them in CA and they have to reprogram it, then send it back to me. Apparently they released the chips before having the programming complete for all the trucks?! I might just take it back and say the hell with it anyway. :-{}
