[kelans]

My check engine light comes on. Just installed. Any answers ?

[Vas@Diablosport]

Whats the code that it throws?

[springer]

check engine light comes on every time i start truck. i have used friends predator while driving under heavy load check engine light would come on but after a few minutes ligth would go out. with mine that is not the case when light comes on must conect pred. any pointers

[springer]

codes p1211 and 1249

1211 is ICP uncontrollable. Sometimes i see this on the 7.3 alot, depending on cal id, what is yours and what tune are you running, is it the 85hp?

1249 is wastegate code. Have a look at that and see if something is going on there...

[springer]

yes running 85hp version v.9r04

[springer]

cal id tnaa7n4

[SCGt94]

do me a favor, switch over to the 100hp and clear the codes and tell me if the engine light is still on

[springer]

will check that tonight...also maybe you can let me know i understand the basics about my programmer but what else can i have done to it besides the 3 programms that are on there. i was looking into the dp tuner but i have used your product before and liked it very much (dp $$$$) is it able to hold more programms? can i give you the specs on my truck and a programm be written for the thinngs im looking for?

[SCGt94]

yea the programmer can hold on to 5 custom tunes at a time, if you go into modify params there is quite a big list of stuff you can play with on the 7.3. Yes i can write you a program for your specific mods etc, you would have to email me your original backup first.

i changed the setting to 110 last night check engine light did not come on...have you seen any problems with the tow setting i am going to pull a 20-26ft enclosed car hauler from california to alabama...is there any additional cost for you to write the program

[SCGt94]

no for some reason this is the 2nd time i have heard of that cal id, with the 85hp tune having an issue. I have tried to rectify it before but forget if it worked or not. And no i have heard of no issues with the 85hp tune and there is no extra cost for me to write you something

[springer]

ok..can you give some idea of changes i would see i have 2002 f-250 4x4 4" lift tires are 315 75 16 (34.6) diam 4.10 gears 3.5 dwn pipe 4" exhaust mild shift kit (auto trans) boost gauge and egt gauge. live in california now moving to alabama would there be any change in program performance changing locations due to climate (colder winters and higher humidity)

[springer]

do you write programms at you headquarters in FL if i bring my truck there. will send you a copy of my original just wondering if i was in the area if that is something you do there.

[SCGt94]

we usually don't do any tuning here unless its for development purposes. EVENTUALLY i want to do a few things with this tool, so i will need a test truck eventually. I will keep you in mind. For now, your backup will work. Who makes those tires, i can do some base NOV work on the tune to try and get it shifting nicer as well. And to answer that question i missed, no climate should no effect the tunes all too much, there are eot and iat modifers in the factory settings for changing climates as well as specific altitude tables.
