Anyone got a tuner ????

I was just wondering if anyone who lived around the Chicago, NW Indiana area had a tuner I could use to see how well it works for me ??? I'd appreciate it.

It's a 1999, and I figured it was given it's a V10 since this is the V10 forum ??? HA HA just kidding, I get lost on this site sometimes too and forget what forum I'm in too.

I have a HYPERTECH PPIII that I would be willing to let you try out. If you like it we can agree on a price. I don't really need it as I now have a Superchips 1715. Are you intrested??

Yes, tuners will be VIN locked if the programming is left installed on the trucks PCM. Mine has be set back to stock, so the PPIII is open for any '99 V10 to use.

the 1715 says its good for v10 or v8. if i tune my v10 do you think i can clear it then tune my v8. have a 2000 f250 v10 and a 2002 4.6 explorer. under the impression once you tune a vehicle , even cleared, its only a code reader for other fords.im going to clear the truck then try to tune the explorer this week. i guess ill answer my own question. will post.

I would think you should be able to use the scanner section for the Explorer without losing the power tuning on the V10.

Just remember that the PCM will self tune with the new program. I have found that once you have driven it for 1000 miles the PCM is tuned to your area and driving habits. It tends to drive better with a few miles under the new program.

I can sell my Hypertech (5 months old) pretty cheap as well. I'm not using it either.
