Which tuner preference? 2002 F250 V10
 
We just purchased a 2002 F250 SuperDuty V10 to haul our 24' toyhauler. Which tuners do you all use and would you recommend? It definitely could use some more power! I'm the one that didn't want a diesel but am having second thoughts after pulling our hauler on our first trip 10 hours roundtrip with this V10 Gas Engine. :confused:

Try talking with Mike at 5 Star Tuning. He's the sponsor for the V10 forum.

We can help you out with one of our tow tunes. Your truck have 3.73 gears?

Mike

And thanks too Monsta

Mike, I'm pretty sure they are the stock 3.73 gears. What do I need to get from you to have it tuned for better performance? More power! And gas mileage if possibly but that's not really my main concern.

Once you get the 5 Star what octane do you have to run?

Fordfanatic4life 08-23-2010 11:39 PM

depends on which tune..

5-star can write you tunes for all the octane numbers..

i beleive some of the more popular config are 87 eco/87perf./87tow.. and up throu 91octane and up to 93 perhaps higher...

87 and 91 seem the be what most people ask for and use thou.. least from reading on here...

Emailed you a few weeks ago and never heard back from you. Still looking for a tuner for the V10. Also decided I need a Platinum F250 7.3. Does anyone know of any for sale? They are hard to find!

Hi jaymers
Sorry i did not receive anything from you the other day but i think i received something from you this morning. That brings up a point to anyone else. I always reply to all of my emails so if you do not hear from me try another email or call me.. I also check our spam folders about once every week for strays.

Sorry again jaymer
