Lightbulb Sup, here to seek advice

Hello everyone how are yo'll doing? My issue is my dad has a F350 and he bought some preadator chip, but its not a diablo and it blows. He got ripped off bad and I want to help him to find the best chip he does a good bit of towing. He is in construction and he pulls a 40 ft fifth wheel camper. I know not every chip/reprogramer is good for towing but other than that I know nothing about diesil might have not even spelt it right your help would be appreciated

Hello. Welcome to FTE. i think you should browse over to the 1999.5-2003 7.3 Powerstroke diesel forum. you will have alot more success there. '

A custom burnt chip is the best way to go. i currently have a tuner stacked on a fueling box and i am selling my box to go with a custom burnt chip.

first, does your father have the "necessary" modifications to allow a chip, such as aftermarket intake, exhaust, and gauges? do some searching on that forum i mentioned, there are weeks worth of reading to find on this subject.

Like Chris said Welcome to FTE...I moved the question to the 7.3 section not sure if that is what you have...could be a 6.0 if that is the case a mod will move it over to the 6.0 area...if this is the correct spot...ENJOY FTE
