Hypertech loosing it's mind

I have Hypertech programmers for both my 2001 F-250 Superduty 7.3 and my 2002 Excursion 7.3. In both vehicles, I have to periodically re-program them as they seem to loose them minds.

Has anyone out here had similar problems?

Thanks,

Jim

PP3s flash the ECM, if something is happening to the program in the ECM then you might have a sensor failing or another problem. If it's the Hyperpac or other piggy back system, then you might not have power to it at all times.

Nope. I wouldn't use an inferior product (when compared to the DP-Tuner multi-position, change on the fly, F5 chip developed by Jody Tipton) on my PSD!

All kidding aside, using ANY flash tuner without the benefit of Jody's custom tunes is like comparing a BB gun to a .45 caliber ACP semi-auto handgun!

PS - I use a flash tuner (Predator previously, Xcal 2 presently) on my Lightning, but I've never had the problem you've described.
