20 Best Custom Tunes For 6.7 Powerstroke (2023 Updated)

Surprisingly the best thing I have done for my Mustang this far. I bought it so I could change my rear gear ratio, but before I got to that I added the 93 octane tune, disabled traction control, bumped up the rev limiter and adjusted the fan controls to a lower temperature because I was seeing the needle move a little hotter on WOT pulls.

Couldn’t believe how much this woke up my car and how much smoother everything seemed to run. Once I add in the 3. 73s this will be a totally different car. Was not expecting this from a box tune but with the bolt ons I have it worked wonders and the adjustment to my fans kept the temp needle from moving.

The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the instructions don’t match the computer software to update the device and the computer software looks like it’s from 1997. In 2022 they should be able to vastly improve this interface and have the instructions match the buttons available on the screen.

Otherwise incredibly happy with this product. Mods for Reference: Accurate 70mm TB/Plenum, JLT fenderwell CAI & Oil Separator, Flowmaster Catback. 93 Octane tune that was preloaded on the device worked great with these basic bolts ons.

I wish someone would have told me to go buy the Bama X4 tuner instead (which is the same price) and you get free tunes for life. SCT customer support won’t help with anything, they just tell you that you’ll have to get a custom tune from somewhere (it’s $500 per tune here locally).

I have a 100% stock ’03 GT, automatic. The SCT x4 description says that you can modify shift points, but they don’t tell you it’s only WOT shift points that are able to be edited. So if you’re going through town where it’s only 35mph speed limit but you had to goose it to get out into the traffic from a stop sign, it won’t shift out of 1st gear until 30MPH because you started off fast to get into traffic and it sees that as Wide Open Throttle for some reason.

(Go drive your car in 1st gear at 30mph and see how annoying that is). The Tuner is good if you’re going to be wide-open all the time, that’s for sure. But if you only do the track 2 days a month and drive everyday in a small town with no big speed limits, it’s not great.

Maybe it’s better if you have a 5spd, but for a 4. 6L/Auto, you’re going to need more tunes.

Sct x4 is great, does everything I’ve wanted it to and gives me a live readout of my gauges. I’ve got a 2006 6. 0 dually with 4:30 gears The blessed tunes on the truck did not work for me. All 3 of the tunes made my truck shift extremely hard, all the time with erratic jump of gears.

I asked for the to adjust the tune and they just told me to relearn the transmission. I tried multiple times, no change. Truck also blows black smoke under any load, in all of the tunes and averages 9-10mpg When I return to stock, no more hard shift, smoke or bad fuel mileage.

Fuel mileage goes back to about 13-14. Since switching tuners, I average about 16-17mpg, no smoking or hard shifts.

Check your battery voltage before programming and I highly recommend the use of a constant voltage power supply while programming. I used a standard battery charger to maintain battery voltage when I tried to tune my truck because I know programming is not quick process and that’s what I have at the house.

The first part of the process seemed to work, extracting the stock tune but when it tried to upload the aftermarket tune to my PCM it failed and had an error code 110DB. This left my truck immobile. Turn the key and nothing happens.

Assuming this was a problem with the tuner, I spent half the day on the phone with tech support while they remotely inspected and updated the BDX firmware using TeamViewer. Tech support was very helpful but in the end they could not see any reason on their side that would cause it to error and fail to program.

They said to try it a few more times to see if it would work. I did with no luck. They told me the last thing I could do is to send them the tuner and my PCM via overnight shipping at no cost to me so they would program it there.

I did not want to do that and since I have access to Ford IDS and have plenty of experience reflashing modules, I figured I’d just reflash my PCM with as built data from Ford. So I bring the IDS and a constant voltage power supply from work.

I hook up the power supply and decide to try the tuner one more time to see if voltage was the issue. and It worked flawlessly. My battery was the original battery and although I had no performance problems from it it was at the end of its life.

This paired with my charger that fluctuates voltage caused the program to fail. Note: the BDX showed a voltage of 13. 2v. Which is the first thing tech support asked. Unfortunately the voltmeter is only going to read the average voltage of the fluctuating output of the standard battery charger.

I will say that in the past I have used a standard battery charger while programming modules and it has worked fine and I suspect that if I had a good battery in my truck to start with it would have worked as well.

Adequate voltage is very important for any module reprogramming. As for the tuner it’s self, I like it. The throttle response is great. Right now I’m running the 87 performance tune. When I fill up next I’ll be trying the 93 tune.

5star’s tune does everything that’s advertised. However, I’ve had several key issues as noted in this review. Drivability: The first thing I noticed after installing the tune was a strong exhaust smell in my garage when parking my truck.

I assume this is due to running rich. I also noticed any time I decelerate, I feel my truck shudder hard as it downshifts. It’s noticeable enough that my passengers have mentioned it to me. After several attempts to contact 5star, someone answered and I was told they would send me an updated tune and that I should try a different tune in the meantime (I had the adaptive tune at the time).

So, I switched to the daily tune. The same drivetrain shudder existed here too. On this tune, on the hwy I did a WOT pull while passing a car. While WOT, suddenly I felt a large drop in power and my gauge cluster flashed a message saying “pre collision assistance not available” and my check engine light came on.

At this point the truck seemed to be in limp mode. The rest of the trip back home, the vehicle was in a low power mode and would not shift gears correctly. The previous mentioned shudder happened every single time I let off the gas pedal.

I hooked up my SCT tuner to check the codes and they were P0068(MAF Throttle Position) & P0471(Exhaust Pressure Sensor). I set the vehicle back to stock and the truck ran fine at that point. Days later I applied the prev mentioned updated tune to address the shuddering drivetrain.

I can’t say I really noticed any change here and at this point I had been trying to call 5star tuning for several days to talk through my issues. As of now, I’ve called them a dozen times, left a voicemail and sent an email all with no human response.

Fuel economy: I recently drove out west from the east coast and tested my fuel economy with the updated adaptive tune applied. I used mid-grade fuel (89-east, 87-west). The weather was great and the drive had little traffic.

I avg’d 17. 3 MPG over 1500+ miles of interstate driving. Upon arriving, I decided to remove the tune hoping my fuel eco would go up. On the return leg the vehicle was set to stock and you can see I avg’d 19.

1 MPG. Note, the return trip started with an hour of stop/go traffic. Then, through the entire great plains, there was very heavy wind that negatively affected my fuel eco significantly. Also, I used regular gas (85-west, 87-east).

I used cruise control on both legs of the trip and had it set btwn 78-83 depending on speed limit.

Tuner was an easy install. Within 50 miles noticed several improvements. Power was definitely improved and fuel mileage appears to be much better. Of course more miles is needed to establish a good review for mileage.

I will update this post. Again power gain is there noticed a high difference going up hill.

Newer trucks have a built in tow mode setting, but if you own an older truck that is in good condition this is an excellent upgrade. I own a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 5. 4 triton 2 valve/ cylinder and the 4R100 automatic transmission.

I’ve owned it since December of 2003. The previous owner had a Superchips added for towing in June of 1999, the type that plug into the back of the computer. It had fifteen sets of jaws that clip onto fifteen inlaided circuit lines in the circuit board.

After 22 years those clips wore into the circuit lines destroying them. So I purchased and installed a remanufactured computer programmed off my trucks vin. I noticed a significant lose in towing ability, but also noticed that it shifted smoother when not towing.

Technically has changed and now you can have both. So I purchased the Flashpaq. I first tried the Performance mode, but didn’t like it , it is to strong and shifts to hard for my liking. So I used the Mileage XS setting.

It performs well and shifts smoothly. I set my truck for Heavy Tow mode when towing my R. V. It is even better than the old Superchip. Truck seems stronger, shifts smoothly and holds longer on an up hill grade before the need for the transmission to down shift.

When I’m done towing I reset to Mileage XS. I’m not interested in mileage so much as I am in how it runs and shifts Couldn’t be more satisfied.

I added this when I installed the RC Cat-back. I immediately noticed improvements on all fronts. MPG went up. Throttle response improved. Power and torque both definitely improved. Last night while driving on the freeway, while making a lane change, I put my foot into it a bit and the truck downshifted as it accelerated.

It was a bit of a surprise to me how the truck responded because I’m used to the ride without the chip. Really felt the power come through. I can’t be sure of this but it felt like the back end broke loose a bit.

I was using the 87 octane map. The truck tows my boat just fine on stock but the experience and power delivery is so much better on the superchip. Shift points are spot on and all the power seems to be just sitting there in the immediate background waiting to be used.

San Vicente Reservoir in San Diego has a really steep hill at the entry. Again, my stock truck handles it fine, but it feels effortless on the superchip. Not paid to write the review. I just really like the product.

After putting 295/70r17s on my truck, it took a freakin nose dive regarding its power and highway speeds. It was a turd and made me second guess going with bigger tires. I still plan on regearing it but for now this programmer has 100% satisfied the issues.

I can tell you this thing works. I have only used 87 setting and set my tire size and stock gear ratio 3. 55. Well worth it. The truck feels way better with this childish tires lol. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not going to fix it 100%.

It definitely isn’t stock at 60+ with accelerating. But there are certain hills in my area that really pushed the truck with the bigger tires and the before and after with the programmer was certainly noticeable.

Again, don’t expect to do burnouts if you can’t already do them, but if you just put some bigger tires on your truck and don’t wanna tell your wife you kinda don’t like the way the truck feels now after dropping $1600 on some new shoes for it, get this.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe reason for me ordering the DiabloSport Predator 2 tuner was to hopefully adjust some of the shift points and make for a smoother ride in my 2016 Chevy Colorado. Visited the DiabloSport website after reading a lot of good things about the Predator 2 and verified that it would work with my vehicle.

Also went on the Summit Racing website and it listed this tuner as well as being compatible with my truck. Shipped the following day and received it without any problems. Unfortunately when I went to start the tune (after already going through the update as specified in the manual), it comes up with an error saying it is missing the tuning file for my model and make of truck.

Went through the update process again just to make sure everything was current and got a message from DiabloSport that the file for tuning my truck is not available at the time and that I would be notified via email when it was available.

After some time researching this problem on Google and various forums, it is apparent this is a common problem with DiabloSport. There are people that have been waiting over a YEAR to receive the files for their vehicle and have yet to receive them.

Needless to say, if you are looking to purchase this tuner, don’t believe either the DiabloSport website or the Summit Racing website because they are not accurate. Returns process has taken a little over a week to receive the credit to me credit card.

While I place most of the blame on DiabloSport, I feel as those Summit Racing should make sure that the products they say will for certain vehicles, actually work for those vehicles.

IšverstiShow in original languageI bought mine hoping to tune my 01 C-5. It never would do right. I called holley ( holley ownes the preditor) They said call back in three days which I did. They said they had put a new program in the unit and when I installed it that it would work fine.

I installed it and it was just as bad if not worse than before. You would be better off to open the window of your car and throw the money out at least you would know what happened to it. I paid taxes and all over 350.

00 for the one I have and then I had to pay a man 250. 00 to tune my car. I would be very happy to sell mine foe 100. 00. Any takers??? J U N K ! ! ! ! ! I am sure there are those that say it is a great piece at a great price and that it works perfect.

I am surely not one of those. Buy at your on risk and hope for the best.

IšverstiShow in original languageOur fuel mileage on our 2016 Sierra was 15. 9 under the best conditions and highway driving. After tuning we are getting 21. 9 steadily and that’s one of our reasons for getting a tuner.

This tuner isn’t going to make your truck a hot rod but it will eliminate the AFM that bounces from V4 to V8 all the time. It tows our 6000lb trailer so much better now since we changed shift points and transmission pressure no more hesitant shifts it’s exactly what we needed for our uses.

This item is great; however once you plug it into your computer to see all the extra options, you better know what you are doing. I didn’t understand all the options, however my Speed Shop professional, Tim at Roadheavers knew exactly what to do.

I like the ability to change my tune from street to strip at the press of a button. I can also set up my screen to a variety of different viewing options.

Works good but some of its kinda confusing but it’s probably because I’m not familiar with this brand but does what it says and has a nice display

Great Turner. I have a 2008 Mustang. I’ve done basic modifies on my car. And its Doing everything so far. Waiting to some advise tuner, with SCT LIVEWIRE TS_Turner.

The programmer is simple to update and install. Completely plug and play it works exactly as advertised. I don’t have access to custom tunes, so I am using the tunes that came with the tuner. I am currently using the street tune, and I have seen.

1 miles per gallon increased fuel economy. I attempted to access the transmission through the tuner, however I was unsuccessful as it told me that I needed to update it again. I have yet to use the tuner since I’ve updated it again.

All in all it is worth the money. I am very happy with my purchase.

Woke the truck up substantially. But its not huge. Throttle response is better. Shifts are more firm, you can definitely feel the power increase at 91 octane tune with an intake. I think custom tunes could be a good upgrade to this as the canned tunes don’t work for every elevation etc.

Good buy tho.

They changed all there firmware. Don’t waste your money. Go with a different tuner. They advertise it will do high performance tunes. But they changed all the updates.

The Tuner/programmer was very user friendly, the design was slick and the screen and apps are awesome if it would of worked with my 06 6. 0L powerstroke i would of been even happier but i doesnt support it yet.

But over all i would recommend it to anyone.

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX IT TRIPPED ENGINE CODES AND SCT HAS NO ANSWER FOR IT. CANT USE THIS TUNER. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PRODUCTS

Nice size screen, good quality, awesome magnetic mounting feature, and great price!

IšverstiShow in original languageThis unit is better suited for those that know they have exact areas needing more performance. The average person wouldn’t know how much spark or rpm to add or subtract while in a certain gear.

They wouldn’t know exactly where their power band is optimal in each gear. The SCT removed the drone and I am sure it will do everything else advertised. This unit is for you if you have technical information like a pre-existing dyno.

Don’t shotgun it!!!! That could cost your engine.

IšverstiShow in original language2012 F150 3. 5 EcoBoost bone stock other than this tune- I’ve had this only a couple days. I had some challenges getting the device updater software to work. In fairness it worked better once I made some updates to my computer.

But I haven’t had issues with any other software previously with that same computer. In the meantime while trying to update the tuner firmware before the software was working consistently, the device got stuck.

I had to call SCT and it took about an hour to get a rep. Once I had him, he was able to unlock the device and update the firmware in about 10 minutes. I loaded the 87 Octane tune. I noticed subtle yet very obvious performance gains.

Most noticeably stronger and more smooth lowend torque. This made driving easier, more satisfying, and most importantly improved how the cruise control performs over rolling hills which is one of my major beefs with the stock.

There is no more lagging, sagging, slowing down etc. Overall I’m pretty impressed with performance given that I’m using the lowest tune. I haven’t driven it enough to give a legit MPG comment. But so far, about 50 miles, it seems about the same.

This combined with the performance improvement of the lowest tune is reason enough for me to give this a 5 star rating. BUT. I ordered an MPT tune and it was delivered very timely. I loaded it to the device with seemingly no problem.

When I went to my truck and plugged it in, I now have the same communication error that stuck the device before. So now I have to commit another 2 hours of time between 9-6 EST M-F to get this resolved with SCT.

I have no doubt that they will fix it once I get a rep. But for the time I’ve spent getting this tuner to work, I feel like they owe me money. And by the way I’m very capable with computers and know what to expect.

Thus I’m giving an overall rating of 4 stars. But, I would say the tunes themselves are worthy of a 5 for a relatively easy and cheap bang for the buck performance upgrade. And I’m looking very forward to trying out the higher tunes.

IšverstiShow in original languageSo the tuner itself is nice. The display is big and bright and easy to read. The features it has already pre loaded onto the tuner were only an option to change my tire size which was one main reason I purchased it.

The initial setup on the computer is straightforward, then plugging into the truck and installing is straightforward and easy. I was dissappointed that it doesn’t come with any preloaded tunes. Because now you’ve bought this unit and the only thing I accomplished with the $400 invested was calibrate my speedometer, in which case I could have spent half the price for a competitiors tuner.

Something that shoppers should be aware of is that the investment does not end at $400, that’s your starting point. It’s $400 paying for custom tunes to install on your truck. That’s where I am dissappointed because it is misleading in the sense that it tells you all the features but nowhere states you won’t have any tunes on the tuner and also I believe they (sct) need to specifically releases what all features are availiable for this truck specifically because you see a long list of options and at the bottom, yes it does say not all options availiable on all vehicles but overall, it was dissappointing.

2018 F150 ecoboost with 2019 Raptor 35″ (34. 5″ actual diameter) tires and wheels. Like some others I had to set the tire diameter to 33. 5″ to get speedometer to match GPS speed on my phone. The good – – I liked that I could lower the TPSM on the rear only to accommodate the lower air pressure I run, I don’t carry many loads and lower the pressure in the rear tires to get even tread wear and better ride.

The bad – – I didn’t like that after putting in the correct 34. 5″ tire diameter the speedometer was now off showing 5 mph fast at 65 mph. – After changing the TPSM to 33 psi my warning light came on the next morning (after letting the tires cool over night).

I went back in to lower it to 32 but it showed the stock value at 35psi when it was already changed it to 33psi. It does the same for the tire diameter. So you need to write down the values after changing them so if you need to go back in you know where your at.

So Superchips if you can have the Flashcal show your new inputted value when going into that field it would be nice.

I installed the Superchips Flashcal in my 2017 F350 with a power stroke diesel. What an amazing upgrade. The speedometer is calibrated perfectly and TPMS is no longer an annoyance. I do have to be aware of the throttle response when leaving a stop light as the rubber on my rear 35” tires barks if I am bit easy on it.

Not a real problem that I don’t like just a lot of horsepower with when using the programmer.

Just went up 2 inches on tire size for F150. Knowing that my speedometer and shift points will be off, I researched calibration tools and the Flashcal came out on top. Instructions were easy to understand and making the needed adjustments on the device was a breeze.

Got truck dialed in within 15 minutes. Best feature is that I can update device to a tuner at a later date.

I have a 2019 F-450 Platinum. Great truck, but it always felt like it was a little sluggish and needed more power at the top end. First, at the recommendation of a friend, I installed the Pedal Monster.

That fixed the low end power and “soft” pedal feel, but didn’t change anything at the top end at full throttle. Next, I added a Banks Ram-Air system, which seems to have added 1+mpg, and helped the top end issue a little bit.

Finally, I broke down and added the Derringer/iDash system last weekend. WOW!!! What a difference. Consistent power throughout the full RPM range, and transmission shifting seems to be “right” now. Can’t wait for my trip from Chicago to Florida next month to see how it does/how much it improves hauling my 20,000# toy hauler over that 2,600 mile round trip!!! Last time I made that trip in April, I got 8.

3mpg. Hope that improves a bit! Thanks to the crew at Banks for the tech support and advice!!!.

I ordered the Derringer and idash for my 2012 F250 and installed them. When I was done I drove the truck as instructed to let the transmission learning do it’s thing. Everything seemed great, I could feel a difference between stock, setting 3, and setting 6 and when I would shut the truck off and start it again all was good.

The next day, when I started the truck the idash wouldn’t come on so I went through the troubleshooting, disconnecting and reconnecting everything a few times with no change. I now have to disconnect the OBD2 connection and plug it back in after the truck is running in order for it to come on.

I’ve also noticed there is little difference between power levels now. I ran some 0-60 runs in different settings and the variance is minimal. I talked to the tech line and they gave me a fix for getting everything to come on when the truck is turned on and it worked for 3 key cycles and stopped coming on again, they are also replacing my Derringer for me.

All this said, I’ve had Banks systems on 4 of my other trucks and loved them. I’m sure at the end of all this things will be great. I’m hopeful that with help from the tech guys we’ll figure out what’s going on with this truck.

I put derringer,ram air monster exhaust, throttle monster. and my 20176. 7 As exactly what they said. 500 hp to the back wheels. Throttle response is awesome. i just think with the derringer alone. There wasnt much change.

which I thought was the main character in this. But with all together. its the way to go. i run my stuff 1/2 way up. I think with the derringer. And the ram air they should be able to add more fuel and air ratio.

What u think. Gale.

IšverstiShow in original languageFord didn’t include regen info data on 2016 Lariat and higher models. I purchased derringer/data monster and now look around regen status, soot percent, and have ability for stationary regen but have not tried yet.

Ability to read and clear codes is huge to me. Derringer is set at level 3 with 30hp/120lb ft added. Turbo lag gone. Mileage same to slightly better. Truck is very smooth. Data guage has too many functions to list.

Tire size/speedo correction helpful. Gale Banks videos on various topics, particularly air density help show the value of the guage. Banks products work as promised and are safe. I will never trust my expensive engine to anyone but Banks.

IšverstiShow in original languageLove it! I even switched out my throttle controller for a pedal monster when I learned it’s controlled with the data gauge. I put on the Banks Derringer and tuner/gauge/pedal monster, cold air intake and rear differential cover and I am so impressed with this company.

I did it all in stages and so I was able to feel the difference that the tuner and pedal monster made, then the CAI. Let me tell you, I’ve put on numerous CAI’s before (first Banks one though) and it is the first time I could actually feel a marked difference in performance.

All the others were like “maybe I feel something. ” Plus I love that it doesn’t increase noise at all in the cab. Great job Banks! I’m sold 100%!.

IšverstiShow in original languageBest truck performance part i have purchased for my truck. Firstly the Derringer Tuner itself. There’s a big difference when you run stock vs. any level on the Derringer.

Their seemed to be a bit of a lag stock. Not anymore. If I press the gas pedal she’ll scoot pretty good for an otherwise stock truck. Now the DataMonster. I already cheated because I have had purchased a SuperGauge prior to this.

So I already had a good idea on how to use it. At first silt can be a bit much with all that you can monitor. But because I was able to Monitor so many parameters at the same time. I was able to catch my alternator going out in my pick up before it even became an issue.

It’s great pulling up so much info on my truck. This gives me a better idea on where my truck is getting robbed of power. Great product over all.

After install into 2019 Ford F-250 6. 7 did see some big improvement but it started throwing a regen code immediately. Several calls to support and eventually they “submitted a ticket” because nothing worked to stop the code.

When in stock mode, the code doesn’t come back. Followed up several times to no avail. Can’t get money back even though the unit seems to be faulty. Very expensive paper weight and the company obviously doesn’t stand by their product.

Make sure you read the disclaimer at the bottom of the site before buying. Bought this product with the unlock cable. After installing on my truck it seemed as though I had less power. Tried to down load the unlock program and it locked my pick up and would not start.

Had to contact the support group only to find out that this tuner will not work on my truck because it is deleted. Now I can’t return it and I’m stuck with a $500 piece of plastic.

THIS DEVICE IS NOT A DELETE DEVICE LIKE IT SAYS. THIS DEVICE ONLY TUNES YOUR ENGINE. HAD I KNOWN THAT. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. I HAD TO GO GET MY TRUCK DELETED AND TUNED SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO I ENDED UP PAYING SOMEONE TO DELETE AND TUNE MY TRUCK BECAUSE BULLY DOG HAD FALSE ADVERTISING.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleI Installed Derringer with no issues. super simple install. Love the tune and seeing real time temps etc. Ran the truck for about a week and half before pulling my 5th wheel on a very long trip.

The trucked pulled great and the temps stayed where they needed. I was loving it! About halfway thru the trip the Idash showed the Darranger was in fault mode. I ran diagnostics and it said I needed to update with latest firmware.

I attempted to do that but the upload would not take after repeated attempts. I then called Banks a few days later and so now waiting on new Derringer. Disappointing, but hoping to see replacement soon, truck ran great when it was operating.

it’s been a week now and still trying to get tracking numbers to see if its shipped yet.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleLove it. This product delivers nice smooth safe power. I upgraded from a Stealth to the Derringer for the additional power and the protections the Derringer system offers.

It also offers lots of expandability with additional sensors as needed. The product is researched and tested. I am happy with the results the package provides.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleGreat addition to my 17 F250 Lariat, I do light towing, just a cargo trailer and motorcycles with camping gear. My truck used to hesitate while towing and sometimes during normal every day driving conditions.

I have personally used both setups available for the derringer, with the switch and the Idash. Highly recommended!!.

Ordered this with aspiration of upgrading to a pro charged motor. The tuner and pcm installation literally took 5 minutes! The suction mount and routing of the tuner was easy as well. The tuner walks you thru each step and in no time I had tuned my vehicle to the 91 octane tune.

Instantly I noticed a quick throttle response and although not Dyno’d I’d say I’ve gained approximately 25 hp. My car was fun to drive in the beginning but now it’s a blast.

Install of the new PCM & Diablosport T2 EX tuner was a breeze. Easy to follow instructions and noticed immediate improvement in performance. Looking forward to getting a custom tune to take full advantage of all the engine upgrades.

fixed the transmission shifting issue in 1st. no more jumping coming to a stop. mds is now off. good additional settings. gauges if you want to keep the tuner mounted.

I have a 2019 F150 with the 3. 5 twin turbo, rated at 375HP. I modified the intake with an open filter, which added a bit of power. My wife’s car uses Premium, as do our motorcycles, so I put Premium in my truck also.

Even without a tune, it does help. Then, I bought this. Using the 93 Performance tune, it really adds a lot of zip! It took about 5 minutes to install the tune (and about 5 minutes to revert back when I take it into the dealer for service, don’t forget to do that).

I notice a huge difference in overall kick and definitely smoother shifting. I seems like a whole new truck. I should also note that my gas mileage, with the tune, seems to be a bit better than stock.

SO, this gives me better performance and better mileage. This tool is really worth the price.

So my 2008 F-250 Super Duty with the 6. 4L Powerstroke displayed a check engine light. Preliminary investigation revealed EGR malfunction. Then a cloud of white smoke out the tail pipe. EGR cooler malfunctioning.

Texas does not require Diesel powered motor vehicles and motorcycles to submit to Emissions testing. So I deleted the whole EGR system to include that blasted cooler and the entire exhaust system. I then plugged in the H&S Mini Max tuner, downloaded the files to the trucks computer.

Started the truck and This truck never responded as well as now. My MPG went from 12 to 17 and the sound of those turbines of the turbo chargers when you turn the truck off sound like a jet!! Some black smoke but only when you accelerate.

But when you accelerate its Unbelievable!!! Oh and it’s on the lowest setting and on stock mode! I won’t even try the Wild Mode! I could increase the HP by a touch of a button but there’s really no reason for that other than racing.

I guess that’s why it’s called a race tuner but you can use it just to tune it and then store it in case you have to download a file or something like that. I’ve had this tuner for about 3 months. I only used it to tune after the deletes.

I haven’t had an issue since! Totally recommend the tuner. Best $600 I’ve spent onmy truck. I’m sure there are cheaper tuners but you will be impressed by this one.

I was nervous to order a 600$ piece of hardware that’s no longer even in buisness. It’s been installed for 3 weeks and is the best thing ever for my 07. 5 ram2500. Installation was a breeze. I went from 13.

5mpg on the display, about 11 hand calc. To 19. 6mpg on the display and 19. 5 hand calc!!! Didn’t expect gains anywhere near this. Pair this with 4″ flo-pro dpf delete pipe to keep the tail pipe stock looking.

The 4″ pipe has just the right tone and volume, 5″tbe will def piss off your neighbor. Install instructions: 1)Install minimaxx (20min) make sure it’s hooked to a key on hot. 2)unplug and disconnect all connections from exhaust (pb blaster and an oxypropane torch were my best friend here for all the threaded connections) 3)drop exhaust from turbo to resonator (save yourself time and struggles and put a jack under the tranny and remove the tranny cross member) 4)install new straight pipe 5)unplug 3 egr plugs 6) on minimaxx select install tuning and the minimaxx will guide you through everything! Downloading tune takes about 10-15min.

And no check engine lights. Oh yeah, don’t scrap your exhaust because you might need it on day.

Bought a H&S for my 2009 duramax, really woke up the truck. I recommend putting a air dog or similar on. You’ll need the extra fuel if you run on performance mode. Had a 2008 duramax two years ago with a original H&S mini max and it was on since new never had any problems.

H&S is the way to go👍.

Installed in 15 months day it arived downloaded stage 2 noticible power difference better mileage two days later downloaded stage 3 more power picked up a mile or two more. This truck is running the way it should.

The second download took about 5 min. Less things to enter after the first download. If your looking for more power and much better mileage, this is fire you.

I like this product but it cost more than I wish I did for something thats just a plug-in tuner. It doesnt have any kind of cages or anything and as good as it is I think the SCT tuner which is of comparable price, can be used after initially plugging it in which is more enjoyable in the long run.

Also I wish that the head protector wasnt made it to my truck so that I could buy it and use it and then sell it if I want to do so.

I purchased the Hypertech Max Energy Programmer for my 2003 Ford F-250 Powerstroke. My main interest was to improve my fuel milage, however, I also wanted to improve my towing performance with my 11,000 lb 5th wheel camper.

I decided to install power level 3 first and give it a try. It took about 30 minutes to load and then I took it for a test drive. WOW! It certainly impressed me with the new found power it gave me on the off ramp.

I have run two tanks of fuel through it and it has averaged about 18 mpg which was about the what I was getting before. I haven’t had a chance to pull the camper yet, but I look forward to it. I have since loaded power level 1 just to see what the milage will average with that setting.

I am on my first tank and my trip computer is setting on 21 mpg. I know this will be lower actually, but so far it seems it will help out with my 60 mile roundtrip every day to work. So far call me. Hyper-satisfied! Great product and easy to install.

Installed the Ram Air 1st, in stick configuration, all OK! Friday installed the peddle monster, i-dash and the derringer. I pulled the MAP sensor – it was cooked up 76k miles. I powered up and instantly got limp home message and MAF sensor P0102.

Looked at MAF, looked OK, but cleaned with sensor cleaner, dried it and reinstalled. I cleared the code by the Idaho. Powered up and still had code + service engine light, set up an appointment with dealer 4 Monday.

Left the peddle monster and idash, removed the ram air and derringer Saturday. Late Sat evening, the MAF code and idiot light were gone (stock configuration). Ran PU 70+ miles today, no codes, ran great, canceled dealer appointment.

I will install the derringer 1st and see if there is any code repeate, then install the ram air and check again. I did some resurch, Saturday evening on the forums, there were guys that had warranty problems at local dealers, running the same setup.

Also, speculation that the freer flowing ram air could confuse the ECU and throw a MAF code. Funny, no code on the plugged MAP sensor. Anyway, that is the plan for Monday, hope all works as planned, want to see how the PU likes the derringer and ram air.
