SuperChips Micro Tuner?????
I put an tuner in my truck back some time ago, and it locked up. I have called Super Chips and they tell me its my baby. I just gave up on it and left it in there. I was down at the local parts store the other day and got to talking to a feller that said a buddy of his had the same thing happen to a new mustang. Now I know its apples and oranges diffrent but he said he got on the net and found a way to unlock it. Does anyone know how to do this.
Thank yall in advance.

The same thing happened to me once. Have you retried to instal the program again. I think that my problem was that I have a flakey ECM. I really didn't feel any real power increase from the superchip box and you will need a boost fouler to gain any real improvement. The edge ez is a way better product. I have the superchip and all that I use it for code scanning and clearing.

Yea I have tryed to load it again and again. I can read codes but that all I can do. When I click on tune it starts reading then it says not oraginal program or vehicle. I have tryed to unhook the batterys and the ecm and let it set an hour or so, Still the same thing. I could tell a little diffrence with it, but man stack it with the comp box and it was crazy, but I didnt run it very long like that. I had an Power Stroke with an Super Chips flip chip in it and I was a true beliver in Super Chips but after the way their customer service treated me on this, I will never buy Super Chips again.

Ya you can't stack the superchip with the comp box. It makes your VP go crazy. I think that you might have issues with your ecm. Mine the same way. For the slight power increase that superchip gives why bother. I read in a diesel truck mag that it gives around 25rwhp increase. You can hardly feel the difference. I had 90rwhp injectors in my truck. Man would she smoke. It smoke more than my current set-up. The ez is way easier install and you actually get 50-60rwhp of power increase. The drag box from edge or the red box from bluechip is the ultimate fueling boxing.

Now I know I shouldn't say this, but I understand where the man is coming from. I too bought an used SuperChips Tuner from a buddy of mine. I boght my used Dodge and put an used tuner in it the same day. I went 4 days later to take it out, guess what.......it didnt come out, and as of today its still in there. I understand when you buy something used but when you call a company and ask them is there anything that can be done and they first say yea for $200 we can fix it then, no recipt no work, to SLAM!! the reciver hitting the base. I mean when you call a company asking for anything they can do and they just brush you off, after their poduct is stuck in your truck. I think thats alittle one sided. But now, I'm not ranting I'm just telling you what happend to me. Do I plan on buying any more Super Chips products? Heck no! Do I slam Super Chips? No, Oh yea, I just bought an EDGE Power Plus.

Yes sir, I didnt know that you couldnt stack those two till after I bought it and put it on. I only ran it just a very little while. But I put the super chips in 6 months before I bought my comp box. Still I want to get it out, without having to have the ecm reflashed, anybody have any ideys on how to get it out?
