The sheet that comes with the tuner says all trucks are different. You have a huge range of years that this tuner will work for, Bieng you have an 02 you will probably see the higher side of any of those numbers on the PSD ford had a few years to tweak with it than they did in 99, the biggest improvement was the turbo. I have one and i think realistically the top numbers you posted are probably close but still high, remember they measure those at the crank, not at the rear wheels. And anyone who would put a tow program at 80hp above stock would be insane and shortly out of business.

I looked at the instructions that came with my 1705 and they say nothing about performance. On the pretty box that the 1705 came in it says "Gain up to 80 horsepower and up to 185 ft lbs torque increase on diesel engines. Results vary by vehicle- your results could be better."
That's as good as it gets. I note that Superchips is a FTE sponsor. Click on it up above and it'll take you there.

I usually run in the middle setting perf-tow, i tow a job trailer from time to time and overall i get the best mileage with that tune. I run 37in tires though, u might be better in the high mode if you run smaller tires. Ya the EGTs will get high in a hurry in any mode if you stick with full throttle for a long time, or towing. I would advise 4in exhaust or at least cut the muffler out of the stock exhaust it will help with the egts, just dont run over 1000-1200 degrees for very long and youll be fine. The tranny cooler will help alot, just dont run it over 200 degrees for an extended period of time either but with that cooler you shouldnt see over 170 under all normal conditions.

If I can remember that far back, Superchips offered a updated version. I originally had the 80 hp. When they brought out the newer 110 hp model my old man got the 80. Seems to me the 110 progammer had an A after 1705 or something, honestly do not remember.
They both have good mild tunes, but my truck would do funny things when running the programmers. I remember one day the cruise control would not shutoff.
Talk about a big surprise.

Yup me too. I have one on my Wifes Excursion right now. And it does funny things all the time. At an idle,it'll shut off all of sudden for no reason. Or while driving/cruising down the road it'll stumble too, for no reason with no warning. It's also going in the Trash real soon too. Gonna DP'r. Country. On Edit: The Excusrsion, not the Wife.
