I have a 2004 F-250. I just towed a ~7500# Travel Trailer from SC to NY. I noticed that when I had to really get on it, once boost got to about 22#, it would show a -14.7 to a -13.6#, essentially a perfect vacuum. The truck felt like it was still pulling when this happened and there wasn't any noticeable smoke from the exhaust. Has anyone else seen this and if so, any ideas on how to fix it?
Scan Gage II. I am assuming that the PCM is also seeing this value.
It reads up to about 22# on the Scan Gage II and then dives to -14.7#. The highest I saw was 22.2# before diving to a pure vacuum. The BARO reads about 29.8 to 30.0 inches of Hg, normal for the location.
I'm assuming the MAP is bad, but wondering if there could be something else.
I noticed my 07 was doing showing the same on my SGII while towing. so you all are saying I need to change something on the SGII to read boost more accurately?
no problem. it took me a minute to figure that one out too when I first got my SGII.
I'm gonna jump in here......no intent to hijack, same problem with an added question. My bst does the same thing (goes negative) and I did enter the new bst numbers with the four digit/letter sequence from the chart but mine still does it? however I haven't entered this yet:
MAP 07E0221440 046285140640 3010 012203200000 MAP EXTENDED RANGE
Do I also need this to make this work right? Thanks in advance for the help and sorry to the OP for tagging on here.

I'm to remember exactly what the MAP extended range reads and why it's different, I'm thinking it's just an adjustment so it will correlate with Baro at KOEO.
One question, Alan. Do you have two BST values in your SGII and are you sure you're reading the one you plugged in, or did you have to change the existing?
