yeah I bought this exact model for the exact same year and model of truck under there recommendations....I did the update to the tuner upon opening with the correct update and proceeded to install. Followed the prompts and Blam!!! shit went south, tuner went into recovery mode and began resetting itself and entering recovery mode , then i got the message " Unable to read file from SD card" So i contacted Superchips and i have to remove my ECM and ship it to Florida along with the tuner and have them reflash the ECM. So a couple weeks will go by before i can use my vehicle IF all this works? Superchips has Great Customer Service but its a hassle and a huge Pain in the Ass .

you can tune the shift points. Trans shifting is tightened up with the stock tune. Not bad but definitely shifts a bit hard but definitely a bit quicker. Transgo shift kit combined with the trans tuning for the 65RFE and you have a trans that shifts as fast as a 8HP70.

When you load a tune off of the FlashPaq, it stores your stock tune so you can always reload it. Also, if you plan on taking it to a dealer for service, I'd recommend putting the stock tune back on the truck. If they flash it for whatever reason you'll lose the tune and then you'll have nothing other than an expensive code reader.
