Funny, I had to do the same sequence of events (secret question etc.) to get mine registered on Monday evening. Very frustrating!! But it's updated, and now all is well. Question, it shows a 'crawler' setting in the manual now. But on my unlimited 'X' 6 speed, it wasn't an option. Is it for Rubi's only or maybe just not in the programmer yet?

I'll leave the first question to someone with an automatic, but as far as the second I don't have any qualms about picking up a vehicle off the lot and already having parts in my garage.

Just got finished taking my 09 Auto for a test run after putting the 87 octane tune in. I can say SC Flashpaq is definately worth the money. I was a bit skeptical about the performance claims but no more.

Throttle response is just that, it responds

Shifting is sooooooooooo much better. I am really surprised with it. It definitely firmed up the shifting. My auto no longer hunts for gears(shifts out of overdrive) when driving around 40mph. It drives like it should now.

I can't wait to run a couple tankfuls through it to see how it does overall.

Superchips got this one right! Thanks David @ http://www.northridge4x4.com for shipping it quickly! Thanks for everyones feedback, I would not have gotten it otherwise.

Go to the log in page and enter your login info. Then click on forgot password and it will promt you with the securyty question. Once you enter that, it will send you an email with the new password. C & P that pass word and enter it in the log in. It should let you in ant the first thing that will ask you is to change the password again.

Good luck and i hope it works for you!
Tried it........no go.....AGAIN. They won't even send me an email with a new password. Was gonna call them today but forgot. Guess I should be glad my tuner worked right out of the box the first time. Just want to be able to update it, that's all. Oh well, I'm sure it'll work out sometime.....

Scott......I was finally able to update my tuner, but still no "Rev Limiter". Actaully no change at all in programs.....that I can see. Don't know if there are any other new programs that should have been installed or not, but do you think at least the Rev limiter should have been added after the update?
Thanks.....
