Superchip programmer
Hey all,
Been a while since I was on here, work and school has really taken my time. I am trying out a superchip programmer and I have it on performance. Acceleration gives me MAD turbo shudder, or surge. I hear the inconsistent spool because of the 6637 air filter. Also taking off with the manual trans, I sometimes get a shudder from the truck as if its not receiving fuel, when the truck is not 90% warm. Just wondering if the W.W is a good solution to the surge, and if there is a noticeable increase in turbo sound. Also would more oil pressure help the shuddering at take off?
Open to suggestions, really want to get my dp tuner back, but that won't happen til schools over
Thanks!

I would put it backin stock and make sure everything else checks out before just pointing at the SC for the cause of the issues.

Good plan, I did have it stock for the whole time besides a few days ago when I installed the programming. Being a 6 speed I don't know if it matters about the shift points. There was not an option to change from manual to auto on the superchip was there Les? Like I mentioned though, no problems a week ago driving the exact same way just a little more fuel now

I am not so sure that an SC will help a manuel?????
The SC is all about RPMs and Shift points...
It may just be the nut behind the wheel....
?(I said that only in fun...no offense)

The SC woke my truck up just like the dp 140 tune, and my mechanic (ex-ford master diesel) said that the SC is better in a manual because you don't have to worry about tearing up a tranny. I think I'm going to remove the tuner after another few days of testing. I don't own the tuner, just kind of in the market for a "plug-and-play" Thanks for the help guys!.
Haha, and Les None taken. I think I am doing everything to make it do it. It only noticeably flutters on a 45-65 WOT run 5th gear. Maybe its not designed for that :P

Im confused... I was only asking for reasons for the cause of this and you automatically said take off the tune and get a DP tuner. I would do this if I could however there are circumstances that inhibit me from getting the tuner again. You seem mad and snappy, not what FTE is about, only asking for suggestions not to be flamed at for not choosing your option. Don't know if that was your motive behind that comment but either way, thanks for your previous input.
Thanks, Les for offering different options besides just removing the tuner. I will have to search for the leak. Im just not familiar with the tuner as I just installed the tune. Probably will revert to stock, see if there is an issue, if not I will start with a lighter tune that performance and see if the problem occurs again.

I had a boss once that always said that, 'if a little will helps it a little, a lot will really FK it up' .
I am just thinking that if it was running better with the install and then you started putting the pedal to it, it may be showing you that you have some boots that may need to be looked at. These trucks are work horses and every now and then the cob webs need to be blown out of them. I can make my truck burn rubber all day long... I just don't like paying the fuel bill and the tire bill
