Well i returned my superchips on a FridaY and got it back the next Monday. Superchips told be it would take up to 7 working day to create a new program for my truck.

Installation was very easy, just pushing a couple of > buttons and turning the ignition switch on and off. After the successfull install i took it for a quick spin. It was about 35 out and the roads where still a little wet from the rain that early morning. I could definetly notice a gain in acceleration in first gear. I could not bring the RPM's up to feel the Wot Shift. I would accelerat and then hit the gas around 3.5, but then the tires would just start spinning too much. A few hours later on the way to work when the roads where dry i got on it pretty good. Again first gear felt much faster and the tranny barked the tires from first to second. I back off at about 65. 0-65 there is a noticable difference in performance. The shifts from both second gears to third are also much firmer. I also noticed that the truck shifts a little earlier. It used to shift at 5400, now it looks like 5200. This i don't mind because i don't think my truck makes any power up there anyways even with all the mods i have. Around town driving has also improved. It feels like its using forth gear at times instead of always dropping to fifth. It now longer slides in to gear when droping to OD, it actually shifts. Maybe the forth gear shift is the torque converter not being locked up. But i like it. So far my gas mileage is also better. I have been very heavy on the accelerator hitting wot quit a few times and am still getting better mileage. I just refueled with 91 and will calculate by hand under normal driving conditions when i get back down to a quarter tank. All around i think its a great mod for the auto tranny people. It makes the truck seem quite a bit faster. It is expensive, but i think that it was worth it. For the manual people, i would see if you can get one from a friend to try before purchasing, i'm not sure if the gains how noticable it would be for you. You guys already have fast shifts.

That's awesome. Many people complain about having to send theirs back for a reprogram.
As I see it, at least SOMEONE made a programmer for us.
I see one in my future.
