Hypertech 01-03 7.3L Powerstroke Power Programmer III [41040] : Lethal Diesel, Your #1 source for diesel performance

 

It might be because of the different PCM's but I'm not absolutely sure on that. But for about the same price you can get a custom chip for your setup instead of the canned off the shelf version. The off the shelf programmers tend not to be as good as a custom chip when it comes to EGT's, HP, Torque, shifting, etc.....


edit:.... you posted that u found it on clearance....probably much cheaper than the posted price. Sorry, my bad.

 

i said cheap!!! i found one for 50$ that is just a link for a new one so somebody could read it and give me some input on it...i have to be cheap. im trying to stick around the house and work so i dont make as much and i have 2 kids and a wife in school.. im poor!!!!!

 

i think the 10k mod, will be just as good, at the tune of 2 buks. I installed the 10k on mine, and use it when towing. Flip the switch when coming up on hills.

 

That is the same as the edge ezf I had. It was only 60 hp and 100 tq and I know nothing about resistors or whatever you use on it. The programmer is 100 hp and 160 tq and I can operate it. And don't they also read codes too?

 

I think, but also i think they only read codes, that trip the SES light, in which, my 30 dollar code, reads those.

 

Sorry BJ - I'm no help on this thread - should of had that 2nd cup of java beofe playing on the forum......

 

Lol. It happens. I think we've all been there

 

I found the same awesome deal on CL on a superchips programmer so I bought it for $35 sold it on ebay for over $200. I had a.e anyway but if you don't have a code reader ****** it up for that and even if you do have a code reader id try to talk the guy down a little and resell it on ebay. Not sure how the hypertech works but if its anything like the superchips make sure its vin unlocked.

 

he said he restored his truck to stock before he sold it. if i go get it i will have to install it to make sure it works. i bought a older 1 off fleabay and it dont work. i was kind of mad about it and that makes me skidish about buying used without being able to check it out first. this one is close enough so that i can go check it out
