Question Programers

Does anybody know of any other programmers other than superchips for the '06 4.2lt. Thats all I have been able to find. You would think it would be more common like the GM 4.3. It has good power and good mpg.

I'm confused..the Diablosport website doesn't even list this programmer for 2006 F150. How is that possible?? is it still possible to re-program even if the dealer flashes the truck? Is this just the same as the 2005 model and it happens to work on the 2006 also?

I ask diablo if they had a programmer for the 06. They said no. The reason being is the CAN Buss the truck uses for it internal communications, their programmer is not compatible with it.

I'm sure..disappointed though, I thought I found one. I guess it's not a big priority for Diablosport.

BamaChips can make you a custom tuned Xcalibrator 2, that is designed around YOUR specific truck and mods, not generic tunes.

should I do CAI b4 the programmer or after? b4 you ask yes I've already got a SIDO 40 series flowmaster on my truck. Also I noticed K&N advertises CAI for the 5.4, but doesn't mention 4.6, do they not have anything for my engine?

You will see the biggest gain from the programmer. It will work just fine without the intake until your ready.
