The Superchips Flashpaq F5 1845 is a handheld flash programmer for 1999–2019 Ford Powerstroke trucks. It plugs into the OBD-II port, loads a Superchips calibration, and backs up the stock file so you can return the PCM to factory.

Preloaded files cover economy, tow, daily driving, and extreme. On a stock truck the top file is about 111 hp and 205 lb-ft on a 7.3, 111 hp and 162 lb-ft on a 6.0, 146 hp on a 6.4, 157 hp and 180 lb-ft on a 2011–2014 6.7, and 109 hp and 234 lb-ft on a 2015–2019 6.7. The 2.8-inch color screen reads and clears codes, shows live data, and can correct the speedometer for tire size or gear ratio. Shift points, shift firmness, and the speed limiter are adjustable where the PCM allows it. Updates run over USB. Superchips backs it with a 2-year limited powertrain warranty.

It is a programmer, not a dash monitor. Flash the truck, then unplug it. These files do not delete emissions equipment. Features and gains vary by year.
