I had a scenario today with a local guy who said the performance file did nothing to his truck.
I had him bring it in, I installed his tuner and proceeded to do a huge burnout (with his permission). He drove it an couldnt believe how fast it was.
It turns out that he unplugged the tuner after the upload, before tuning was installed and he never got the performance file.
He was happy as a pig in mud when he left =o)

, my bad and I thought those were normal. The P0603 cannot be cleared. I assume it will clear on it's on in time.

Ordered a Superchip 1704 today for my 2004 Harley Davidson Model F250.... but was wondering about the Pilot Injection.......as my truck was built on Dec 17/03 and has a PI that works........will the 1704 affect or disable my PI?

I had my tuner for about a week now, love it. The only question is about the temps. I am seeing on my Pyro. I almost up to 1400 pre turbo
. I placed it almost the same spot as they did on the show Trucks on Spike TV. I am not pulling a load, just mashing on it. Seeing around 31 psi on boost. Truck runs like a 3 legged ape in a forest fire. Just worried about the temps, as posted on the other threads they look a little lower. Also one time from a dead stop to full throttle it hesitated they threw a lot of black smoke
, I now it is suppose to smoke but this was more that I had seen in pervious times. I ran the truck down the road and got it warm then did it again from a dead stop and no hesitation just smoke from the tires
. So my question is does your truck have to warm up for a certain amount of time as this is my first diesel. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
fficeffice" /><o

<o></o>
I would also like to thank this forum that give me great info on recent post to help my with the install of the gauges I put in. <o></o>

I am running a 1704, autometer gauges, beside that stock 2003 CC FX4 <o></o>
Thanks for you time and help if you can. <o></o>

1400 is VERY close to being damaging ! be careful - remove your muffler by straight piping or get a good exhaust...
And as far as does the diesel have to warm up...
most definetly !
and it does take a long time to warm up AND a long time to cool down...
to withstand the pressure to fire the diesel only by compression only it has a LOT more cast iron in that block than our gassers did !

1400 will melt a turbine blade, very quickly!
hope you read this before continuing to drive it!
put the low hp program in, then the mid and see what keeps you BELOW 1200 at all times..... but then again, it is your truck.
good luck with it.

how are you gettinf the power
how are you gettinf the power There may be an isssue with your stock files and their tunability.
There is an easy fix for this.
BTW....my 03 Cobra makes 472HP/494 FT LBS at the tire, not my 6.0L.
Where did you get the 472 number? In my profile from another forum?
I don't own a 6.0.....I just tune them. (Though it seems I've been driving them more than my own car in present months)
***edited
I think I need to spend $10 on a new keyboard at home. If I have to edit a message one more time for a simple typo......argh

DANG - was hoping it was true 472 HP would be FUN !!!
I would have ordered two so I could get 572 HP
And unfortunately, my keyboard does the same thing
(Have you tried IESPell - nice little internet spell checker)
I use it, but still can defeat it

Hey I like to thank everyone with the input , looking into new exhust . I went back to stock and still can get it up to 1150f , boost was about 17 , hard to look at all the gauges and not run out of road
. out side temp was about 85 and we are about 30 to 50 ft above sea leval. I ever pull a load with it , just like to have the power their if needed but but dont want to damage my truck.
As far as the Super Chips tuner is I think it is a great buy and easy to use .
as far as when in the H P mode the black smoke is just unbrunt fuel ? correct
Thanks to all
