My Scan Gauge shows 352 HP on my 5.4 stock?? 01 XL 7700 Bi-Fuel on propane. Have not tried it yet on gas. Road conditions right now are not safe enough. There is one thing I am trying to find out about this truck and that is it was used as a ghost vehicle
on the 401, so do not know if it is any different than a reg 5.4 Triton. The sticker under the hood shows a new load for the computer. According to ford this 5.4 should be 280hp

GAUGE TXD RXF RXD MTH NAM Notes
HorsePower 00 400080000000 0000 000A00170000 HPR Gasoline Gross/Brake

This is what I used as X-Gauge codes. Does not put the headings over the proper codes.
I am not sure if I can put the site in here for the whole x-guage coding.

Come on people, in order for the scan gauge to calculate your power, you need tell it exactly how much your truck weighs at the time you run the test. This means that you will have to weight the truck on a scale. If you try to guess what the truck weighs you will be way off.
