How to program

I bought my truck and it was pre programmed or at least this is what Ford told me when I had them look at it. I was told they could not work on it until this aftermarket programmer was removed and put back to stock.

My truck: 2006 F150 Harley Davidson Supercharged

I want to learn how to program this myself as of now I am only getting 8.3 miles per gallon and feels like maybe 200hp. I can not get anyone to work on this either they dont know how or they want me to make it factory again. Can I buy a programmer and try to fix the issue myself. I assume there is not actually a programmer in my truck it was a program set to the computers PCM or something like that. I am new to all this and I am really getting sick of these Chevy Trucks pulling up next to me and reving there trucks up and all I can do is duck my head lol.

Any and all help would greatly be appreciated.

Poke around in the V-10 forums for a tuner by Mike @ 5 Star tunes----he is absolutely "da man" when it comes to better-than-stock tunes for Ford Modular motors.

I can't help much with your current condition but talking to Mike might help you in the short term too. He's an amazing provider of better-than-imagined customer service to everyone!
