Anyone know about these? Do they check and reset DTC codes?

You can read more about the SuperChips Flashpaq here (http://www.superchips.com/product.phtml?p=53&mmk=1253&msg=%2B)

Their ad says it'll "read" codes, but no mention about clearing.

Thanks for the clarification, Ron. A few more questions for you:

1) Do these tuners VIN lock to a particular vehicle, or can they be used for multiple trucks, so long as only one tune is installed at a time?

2) What are your opinions of this particular tool/tune, compared to early Predator tunes / code readers? Acceptable EGTs? Can you throw codes with it installed, or limp a stock Allision?

3) Tow/Performance tunes, or only Performance setting?

1. The tuner is only VIN locked when it is tuned to a truck, you can detune the truck and move the tuner to another vehicle.
2. Tire height up to 38", DTC's, speed limiter,data logging 3 tunes based on tow limits. EGT's have not been a complaint. Limped Alli's have not been a issue.
3. Tow safe=limits set by factory
tow Perf=limited to 6000lbs or less
High Perf=No tow
