hypertech - 6.8 V10 problems
Vehicle '00 F350 6.8 V10. Was running good but we couldnt find the hold in the tank, which in hind sight doesnt seem like the worse possible problem. Was hoping to get an uptick in mileage. Got a power programmer second hand and installed the program today. The bad news is that now the truck wont start. Turns over, just wont start. I dont smell fuel. I tried sending it back to stock and still nothing. The truck had a DTC P1000 when we first plugged in the programmer. Hypertech process is to clear that code and then proceed with programming, but in subsequent tries to reset the software the DTC is still present so it looks like it was never cleared.
I checked fuses and fuel cut off breaker and didnt find a problem. I pulled the battery cable for 10 mins hoping that the computer memory would drop the DTC codes without any effect. At one point or another I also put the truck on a charger simply to keep the the battery voltage up.
I am out of ideas. Any experience / suggestions out there for this kind of problem? Anything else that I should check? Assuming the worst - how much is the computer for these things? Is this a dealer only situation?
Thanks Tom -

Hello,
I would recomend (if possible) is tow it to a dealer and have the PCM re-flashed with the new stock programming, then get your money back for the tunner. Or send it to hypertech to be reflashed.
Just a thought.
Good luck!
