Will this work for adjusting the speedometer and MPG and any shift point after adding bigger tires on the 2017 model? this is from their website but do not know if this is accurate or ever happened or not?

http://superchips.com/2017-f150-2-7l...now-supported/

Does anyone have any experience using this product, opinions and experiences? I do not see where anyone has used this this particular tuner and the hypertech now requires taking the dash apart, removing and unplugging the instrument (speedo and tachometer cluster) cluster and installing a module between the IC cluster and the wiring harness, not digging this so much for many reasons.

Thoughts, comments, further clarification and solutions please?

Thanks!

Link you sent is for the Flashpaq which is a tuner, and not the Flashcal which is the tire adjustment model. See below on user adjustable options for the 2017 model year from Superchips website.

So according to that, yes, it does correct for the speedometer and tire size from 26 to 38 inches

Color Screen
Speedometer Correction
Tire Size - 26^ - 38^
Axle Gear Ratio
TPMS Threshold Adjust
Data Acquisition - Advanced + PIDS
DTC Read & Clear
Internet Updateable
TPMS On/Off Available (Download Required) Adjust
Feature Only Available On TrailDash/TD2
DTC Read & Clear

The Flashcal for Truck, pn 1545, is also going to feature this calibration update for 2017. The Flashcal for Truck is the most advanced and affordable calibration tool on the market. Larger aftermarket tires, gears, and even TPMS adjustments are no problem for this sub $200 calibrator! Check it out now to learn more about what the Flashcal can do for you!

So I had to call Superchips and verify that this worked on the 2017 f-150's and they were able to confirm that this does indeed work for adjusting tire size. features supported by the the flashcal #1545 below. I hope this helps others.

I bought a Superchips Flashcal #1545. Downloaded updates, plugged it up to the truck and it told me no application software for the vehicle. 2017 F150. Will call tomorrow, maybe I did something wrong.

I called them myself and wasn't ask which engine I had. Well today I was told it works on all engines except the 3.5 ecoboost. I already bought tires, mounted. They said it would be months before it would be ready. Terrible customer service.

I just bought one of these and so far I can't get it to calibrate my tire size. I have a 2.7 EB. It says it can't open the vehicle file. I will most likely return it. I have a 2015 and it supposed to support up to 2017

Should work just fine for a 15 2.7, you likely may just need a firmware update or something very simple like that. I would suggest calling Superchips at 888 227-2447 as they can prob resolve it with a quick phone call.
