No, especially with a 97 and older because the downpipe is extremely restrictive.

I would be curious which is best for towing,The predator or the superchips programmer. I have a 2000 F350 crew cab 4x4 dually with the 7.3 powerstroke.I tow a boat across the desert with temps over 100 degrees f. The boat and trailer are aprox. 6000 lbs.

Both are good for towing. Superchips has more units sold, Diablo has more features for the same price.

Neither programmer will recall the speedometer.

Thanks for the reply webmaster,How about one more question,If I purchase one of these programmers for towing purposes will I need to purchase gauges to monitor the Exhaust gas temp?How crucial is it to monitor this after using the programmer? Thx LRB.

No gauges needed in tow mode of the programmer but I recommend them anyway.

The 1705 works with 1994.5 - 2003. There's a port on the driver's side under the dash.

Black somoke worse at night and cold.wet! PLease let me know if this is usual I have a new turbo and I need to know of this is usual for the superchips in med mode with stock exhaust, 4in lift and 315/75/R16s, and no load. Seems to do this when it drops a gear and gets in it (for passing).

Thanks

BTW: This thing is worth it, buy one you'll appreciate it!

So my speedo will automatically go back to the factory settings, thereby throwing my speedo off?

I am currently getting 20-22 PSI of boost, how much boost increase can be achieved with the programmer?

Depends on the setting you choose, and the program your PCM has in it. Very upper 20s is not unrealistic.

The Microtuner will not impact the speedo setting one way or another. That's done by the dealer and is independent of any changes the Microtuner makes.

I've been trying to order one for the last two days with no results. What seems to be the trouble?
