What, exactly, is the problem? I'll help, but "no results" isn't descriptive enough to help.

Finally got it handled.......couldn't get through on the phone or a response to messages. Got it today, will try it tonight. I hope the results are as good as I hear. It is a little tough to believe the performance gain stories from the guys who say their fuel mileage doesn't change under load.

I have heard that you shouldn't run the 10K mod with a modified program/chip. Any truth to this?

Hi Ken, Got a question on the 1705 tuner, will I see any milage increase?? And on the Diablo Preditor is it a plug and play like the 1705?
Thanks, John in Tampa

Powerchip and new exhaust performance

I own a 2001 powerstroke 4X4 with auto-trans. My question is transmission failure with more horsepower especially when towing after installing the upgrades. If so, does anyone have any ideas on making my trans more heavy duty without burning holes in my wallet? Anybody have any input? Thanks. Tim

OK I have a 2001 extened cab short box... Just installed the Super chip tuner in the Safe tow mode .. Now I notice my onboard MPG meter don't read right .. it's telling me I'm getting 23.5 to 30.0 MPG but when I do the math at fill up it's 16.0 MPG

What's Up with this ???

Check out the dozens of posts I and others have made about this. It will almost never be accurate when adding any chip or tuner.

To the tranny question: no, you won't have to worry about tranny failure, not until you get into much higher horsepower levels than the Microtuner offers.

Sorry for not answering a while, but all these questions have been asked before (many in this very thread).

Most people will see a mileage improvement. Its plug-n-play like the Predator is.

Do you have the five speed or automatic? Any problems with your transmission? And have you added a larger exhaust system? Tim
