Question Superchips Tirepaq

Ok after a little research I am convinced it is cheaper for me to buy the Tirepaq programmer myself in order to adjust for tire size than go to any dealer for a one time shot. I don't have the money nor the the need really to get a full blown programmer. I just want my truck to run right, not faster.

Anybody have one, used one cuz i am about to pull the trigger on one.

I found them on amazon for 170 free shipping I think that is a pretty good deal?

actually depending on your tire size you may not have to do that. Fords have adjustable tire sizes already in the PCM... i would check with them to see... if so you can save yourself from buying a programmer and just have it recalibrated through Ford.

I call bullshit on their reasoning and believe they can calibrate to any size, I would have understood if they would have just told me the truth and it was a liability thing. Maybe other dealers are diff. I will check around. or maybe buying a tuner/programmer is the best route in the end.
Correct me if i am wrong here but if i got the Tirepaq i could calibrate mine and just as easily plug it into other rangers? I could make some money off this thing maybe
PLUS i see that you can upgrade this unit to a flashpaq in the future if you wanted to.
