Superchip?

DakotaRT · Nov 22, 2005

Will a superchip tuner do the shift points on a 99 dakota R/T?

Yes, it will change them. You can't set it to what you want only what the program does on it's own.

I went to a place today to get one and they said $400.00. I told them there are companies on line selling them for $300.00 they said that those are fake ones not the real deal. Has anyone heard of fake ones on the market?

about 5,000 to 5,500 I believe. i checked right after I installed and I can't quite remember...at any rate it's more then you'll need to get your desired performance..the main benefit is the raised shift points..thats were you'll see the most gains

that looks legit to me because they are using the superchips name which is a registered tradmark and they wouldn't be able to do that legally if it wasn't the same item unless superchips is selling the trademark or patent...I doubt they would sell it because they wouldn't want there name on a obsolete product or anything that would give superchips a bad rep...the only thing I'm worried about is the picture they are showing is a black tuner and the correct tuner for the r/t is red but I doubt that means anything..anyways if you check the faq on that site they have a 30 day moneyback garuntee so if your not happy with it just send it back. hope this info helps.

enjoy your superchips!!!

I hope it wakes this truck up. The only thing done to the truck is exhaust, Dropin K&N filter and mopar performance wires.

I was thinking about getting the superchips for my 99 R/T, I like to run 89 instead of 87, does the program have 89 or will I be forced to switch to 87 or 91? Which program do you run Steve?

there is only the 87 octane program and then two 91 or higher octane programs..one for towing and one for performance..right now I'm running the 91 or higher performance octane with 93 octane gas..if you run 89 you would probably want to stay on the 87 octane program..you would probably hear pinging if you went with the 91 program with 89 octane...I ran the 87 octane program when I first bought the tuner and you will still see a significant improvement in hp/torque but to really get the truck moving you have to use the 91 or higher program.

edit: the cool thing about the tuner is you can go back and forth between the programs with ease..only takes about 5 minutes..I know some people that run the higher octane on the weekends and then switch to 87 octane for the week. just a fyi.

Thanks Steve, I'll probably be one of those guys that goes el cheapo during the week and then if I run to the track I'll switch to 91 :biggthump

I have one I am about to put up on ebay-- $275 shipped. Used it on my wife's truck, but recently found a Mopar Perf. PCM for her 98-- and going to use that. It works good, and can switch from 87 to 91, or towing performance (which works okay)-- 87 octane tune works best with 89 octane...

I don't have the manual, only the original box... I can walk you through the procedure over the phone, etc... It's really simple.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks Sam,

I would be interested but I'm still stuck in the situation of needing to sell my QC before I can make any investment. Otherwise the hotchkis TVS and other mods would be on order :biggthump
