Another new guy to the site.

I have a '99 F-250 Super Cab, Long Bed, 4X4, V-10, black (impossible to keep clean).

I tow a 9000 lb 5th wheel ('06 Copper Canyon 27 ft) and a 3500 lb boat ('87 Four Winns 18 ft), sometimes at the same time. . . . I take that back. This new 5th wheel is too heavy and the V-10 can't handle it. Sooooooo, if anyone has any recommendations on how to get some more power out of this bone-stock truck, I would greatly appreciate it.

Keep truckin
Damon

Welcome Damon!

You are asking a lot from your truck but you have some options. I would start here: Computer Chips and Tuners - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums You can also check out the exhaust board but I think the chip is most likely the route you want to go. Look over the boards, there is one for your motor and another for the Super Duty that is loaded with help from people who have been there and done that.

Try it out!

Thanks. I've spent the last 3 hours looking at the chips and tuners posts and I'm banging my head against a wall. For everyone that says this tuner did great, there's someone saying it was a waste of money. Now I'm looking at superchargers. . . . . . . might just be time to upgrade to a diesel.

I run a chip on my 5.4 and when I go back to the stock program - it bites. Just my opinion.
