If it hops like that now I could only imagine what it'll be like with say a superchips programmer set to 150 horse!

hmm maybe i should have them look at mine when i stomp on it the truck slowly rolls off the line till the turbo kicks in 4-5 seconds later still even dry road truck dosent even act like it wants to break loose i can get it to spin the tires on a really wet road turning or with 5-6 k trailer on the back but empty its kinda a dog off the line for the first 10 feet

but i get nice milage and truck runs good, scared to let them change anything

If you need to burn em up just hold your foot on the brake and let the turbo spool up then let go of the brake and plank it.

If it is running OK and you are happy LEAVE it alone, it is best that way.

Tim i agree with ya thats why the shop hasnt touched it for that , but also thats sad that there is a chance that if ford touches it the truck will turn into a pos i have never had to worry about that problem before with any truck/car i have ever bought, That has to tell us something about ford not having it together and thier lack of customer support
