Question unknown codes

I have a hypertech programmer. It is showing 2 DTCs. These codes do not show up in my chilton manaul. Anyone know what P7A00 and P68C3 stand for?

P7A00 is not an OBD-II DTC. They are always in the format Pabcd where a,b,c and d are integers 0-9.
Is your truck chipped?
Very common occurance for the hypertech to throw oddball codes when installed or programmed, it makes the dtc stream a little crazy, codes with it chiped or programmed may be in doubt. Always remove or deprogram, then recheck codes for accurate results and/or accurate DTC retrieval.

No, no chip. It had one once, but it has been removed and reflashed by Ford. So, it was stock until the programmer. I never saw any warning lights or have any troubles with the truck, it runs great. I just changed the setting and it showed those two DTCs. I paniced a little.

Disconnect both of your batteries for 60 seconds then see what you get.
