temperature problem with Superchip
temperature problem with Superchip
It's over 110 degrees here in Phoenix and I've been having really bad performance with my F150 since I've installed the Superchips performance chip.
First I thought the transmission was going out. It has 85000 miles on it and I pull a horse trailer. The transmission was slipping only when hot. I took it to a good transmission shop and the transmission checked out fine. Ok course it was in the morning when it's cooler and it did slip at all when I drove it down there or when the owner took it for a test drive.
I don't drive my this truck much so I have not noticed this problem until now. Every once in a while when I did drive it to work (30 miles one way), on the way home it would start back firing and had no power. I drove it yesterday and it was running great on the way to work. On the way home after I got off the freeway (15 miles of 80mph driving, speed limit 75). It just would'nt go. We had one of the hottest days yet, 115 degrees. I had it floored and it would only go 25 mph and was backfiring repeatedly.
I didn't have time to remove the chip last night but will tonight. I have a feeling the truck will run great without it. Anyone else have this problem?
