Attn: Warranty Claims

We will inspect the Product and either repair it or replace it with a new or rebuilt Product. We reserve the right to use refurbished parts when making repairs.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

No. It is illegal for a dealership to void your warranty based solely on the fact that you have installed an aftermarket product. But always remove the tuning before going to a dealer for service.

For information regarding denial of warranty coverage, go to the SEMA website.

Buyers beware!
We are sorry to say the answer is probably not. We get calls from too many unsuspecting buyers that bought what they thought was a new product, only to find out it was used and unusable. Superchips, Inc’s warranty applies to the original owner only. We do not warrant any used products.

You must provide a copy of the sales receipt in your name for any warranty service.

No. In most cases, transmission operation is improved.

While the motor may be the same, the programming of the computer can and usually does change from one model vehicle to another and from one year to the next. If the label on the Tuner states 96-03, it won’t work on an 04 model.

Go to our Find a Dealer page by clicking on the link at the top of this page, scroll down and enter your area code and first 3 digits of your local exchange. Alternatively, you can call 800-898-2447 for the nearest Superchips dealer.

Usually installation takes less than 10 minutes and requires no automotive knowledge whatsoever.

While we design our programs specifically for more performance and better drivability, in most cases the vehicle gets better fuel mileage.

Yes, by simply removing the program setting.

While some Superchips products give you the choice of running 87 or 91-93 octane fuel, most vehicles require the use of 91- 93 octane fuel to get the advertised increase in Horsepower and Torque output.

Yes, we tune at all throttle positions, from idle to full.

In most vehicles this option is available. Please check our products page for your vehicle-specific list of options.

All of our products come with a 30-day money-back guarantee as well as a limited 12-month warranty from the date of purchase. Your sales receipt is your proof of purchase and is required for any warranty coverage.

NO! Superchips does not recommend the stacking of our product on top of any other performance-enhancing chip, module, or tuner. Superchips will not warrant or be liable for any damage caused by the stacking of our Superchips product on top of another performance-enhancing chip or programmer.

Typically our tuning is designed to work with basically stock vehicles.

Cat-back Exhaust is ok.

Shorty headers are ok on normally aspirated applications.

Cold Air intake is typically ok, but only when the mass air meter is the same distance from the throttle body as with the stock intake.

Bigger down pipes on diesel typically work fine except on the 6.0L Ford where the bigger down pipes hurt the low-end torque of the motor.

Once the tuner states Need Update, write down the files shown on the tuner display, turn off the ignition and unplug the tuner. Locate the original sales receipt and call Superchips if you have a Max Tuner or log onto Flashpaq.com if you have a Flashpaq Tuner.

On Fords, GMs, and some Dodges, your cigarette lighter fuse may be blown. Other Dodge products will have a blown fuse other than the cigarette lighter fuse.

Peak HP gains are measured at the RPM level that the stock motor made its highest horsepower. Max HP gains are measured at the RPM level with the greatest gain overstock.

Simply: Max is the most or widest range between stock and Superchips. Peak is the gain at the vehicle’s highest rating.

Always, make sure you take the tuning out of your vehicle and return it to stock before going to the dealer for any kind of service. There is a fee you will have to pay if you leave the tuning in your vehicle and the dealer flashes over it.
