To clarify.

The 3815 (04-08), 3865 (04-10) or 3950 (04-10) have an option to run the stock shift schedule with Superchips tuning or stock torque management with Superchips tuning or a combination of both. It's an either or setting (Stock or Superchips).

No custom trans tuning like the advanced trans options allow (which allows full control of TM and all part throttle shifts).

Hope that helps.

Thanks Keys!

However s4x4s, you will have to update your 3815 as these options were released mid to late last year.

I do have the 3950 with the stock or superchip shift schedule option but I do prefer the stock shift as I find that the truck stays in a higher gear longer than I prefer (maybe I should go diesel).

As an update, I have now tried the 87 tune twice while towing a 5500lb trailer and both times it did feel ok, I had used the stock shift schedule but may use the superchips one next time. As for mpg I cannot really say if it had an improvement as both trips were different and involved altitude changes (1000ft).

Ron-do you do anything for altitude compensation(3500ft)
