5.9 tuning is No Joke.
46hp and 59 ftlbs of torque at the wheels. The tuning has been the same for years.
Which tune are you running? Are you running the correct fuel grade?
What are your trucks modifications?

That is the only current model of flashpaq.
Do you buy your fuel at the same station all the time?
Computers will learn your driving habits within the first 20-30miles. The computer will not learn around this change.

Have you returned the truck to stock lately to see what you are missing?

No different between the models of tuners. _________________ RRAPP@SUPERCHIPS.COM 1-888-227-2447 8-5 EST. Email me directly if your having ANY trouble with the forum.

How many miles was the last engine tune up? plugs, wires, cap, rotor, ect. On the older trucks with the 5.2L and 5.9L gas trucks, they have a lot of issues with intake manifold gaskets leaking, which can rob power. We make a very decent amount of power on the 5.9L's.

Did you remove the throttle body to confirm? Are you getting any pinging? Have you tried the perf tune? Ron _________________ RRAPP@SUPERCHIPS.COM 1-888-227-2447 8-5 EST.
