Hi there,I am wondering if it is worth the Money to add a Power chip to my 99 V-10 F-350??and does anyone suggest a brand to go with.

 

Hi Mongo John
Welcome to FTE

I am bias but . I think its worth it. Check out Got a V10 section for before and after dyno runs....Got a V10 Ford F250/350/450/550?

on your site it does not give what years they work with i have a 2008 f-350 and a lot of these programmers dont have the 2008 in there lists so this is why i'm asking you
thanks

 

It's worth it totally and should be the first thing above other mods.

I am very happy with mine from 5 Star and nobody asked me to say that.

 

Hi Yukon Beast
thanks for asking, the years are from 1996-2009. Your truck is avail to be tuned. No problem..

If you have any specific questions just give us a call.

Mike

ps thanks V10E350 , Hope all is well.

 

I have a 2008 F-350 with a tuner from Mike: I'm also very happy with the tunes from 5-Star, and he didn't ask me to say that either.

 

Me too, but I almost feel like I am getting paid. Mike monitors these forums and listens to what we want. Then he creates the tune and the next thing I know a new tune is in my in box. That's more payment than I could hope for.

 

thanks for the info mike

how does yours compare to the other programmers? before i joined this forum i was thinking of buying the predator or the bullydog. (my coworkers have them in there trucks)
i'm plannng a big trip with the travel trailer this summer so you will hear from me before then
do you send new tunes when they come out or is that a deal you have with Mmaxed
anyway thanks mike

In the world of programmers, the brand of hardware (SCT, Bullydog, Predator, et al) should be your least important consideration.
What you should be most interested in is the skills and experience of the PERSON(s) creating the program. And their willingness to support you after the sale.


Oh, and yet one more unsolicited vote for Mike...

 

Hey v10e350, how do you like the quigley 4x4? I have a 97 E-350 that i bought new and was going to take it to quigley and chickened out at the last minute. Is it a quality build? Do they do any hacking on the van? I'll bet your gas mileage is 10 MPG right?

 

don't mean to hijack but what is the benefits that the tuner will give you ? thanks

 

See here Got a V10 Ford F250/350/450/550?

 

Something to think about is that if you encounter a problem with your truck, the dealer will find that the truck has been tuned and try to void your warranty. Don't think that burning the stock program back on will "save" you. The ecm has a flash counter. If the # of flashes doesn't match what is in oasis, you're left hanging.

 

This is a question that comes up a lot. That's why I always recommend using a mod friendly Dealer. Not all Dealerships operate in this manner. I know of some dealerships that install lift kits and other aftermarket products to their customers.

 

Very true at some dealers. The SM at my dealer knows I have a tune and is always asking how I like it, where I got it, etc. He has said he has others out with tunes also, both gassers and diesels. He seems much more concerned about happy customers than anything. That's why I bought 100 miles from home.

Just noticed something Mike. With all the votes you get here you should run for office. Corse you would have to learn to lie and cheat.
