The hypertech will not allow you to adjust speedo on a 5.4L

Will this programmer fit a 2000 Excursion with the 5.4 and if it does will it allow you to raise the speed limiter?

the hypertech III tuner I got lets you change shiftpoints and change the speed limiter too and it dose let me change the speedo by telling it the tire size (you have to lie to the programer and tell it you have z rated tires) to change top speed limiter

The Power Programmer III. 99-04 with a 5.4L will not allow tire or speedo changes. Check the stats on their website. I have one and it just skips right over those two settings while programming.

What size engine do you have? and where do you get 97 octane fuel?

thompson does not need any misleading information if he is trying to decide on what brand of tuner to buy. People use this website to ask questions in researching products for their trucks. If you give them the idea that a product will do something that it wont, then they buy something that does them no good. He has a 5.4L and all I am saying is the Hypertech will not work for him when it comes to tire size and speedo recalibration. I am not getting waded up but it may be some other guy you lead in the wrong direction with a purchase that gets all "waded up".
