U7164 Tunes

Mike, I tried the 80 hp tune and did not like what it was doing to the transmission i.e. shifting like an old B&M shift kit on a throw away tranny :) I experienced some of the same initial delay and power surge that other folks are talking about. It will pin you to the seat, but it's a little ...

RE: Re: RE: 6.4 update

You the man Brian! Of course I can't use it until someone can help me clear the original back-up in the tool. It is mated to my truck since I tried to write v.9r07b back in Jan which errors out before the back-up can be written to clear the tool. I am still stuck in the middle with a tool I can't ...

RE: Original back up

Need the same fix, except mine is not new. The original back-up wrote to the tool, but errors out while trying to write back. So, I am stuck in the middle with a tool I can't program or clear! Need assistance...Thanks, John

RE: 6.4 update

Suggestion...please post and update the status of testing versions on the download page so we know what to ask for even if the latest version is not ready for release...otherwise we keep emailing back and forth and have to drill through all the strings to determine the version and to compile a list ...

pic350ford pretty much summed it up. Apparently, Ford did not test the update or no longer cares about performance. I too wish I could turn back the clock on the latest Ford update. Many updated trucks are running like crap and that is why we are jones'ing for your programs! I learned my lesson ...

Any estimate yet? My programmer has been ineffective for over two weeks. Don't get me wrong, I want you guys to test, but the latest Ford program is not good. Just checkin'...Thanks, John

I experimented with Airaid and AFE CAIs...did not like them and then tried Airaid and AFE drop-in filters. The AFE drop-in appears to be better quality, but does not fit the stock airbox as well as the Airaid does. I settled for the Airaid and it works fine. I looked at the Banks kit, but did not ...

RE: program # 08b07

Assuming your got the same letter I did for the PCM, TCM, and IC update, the current Pred CROM 9r07b does not support the new programming yet. Ford programmed my truck on 12 Jan and my Predator will not work yet anymore. I am told it is being worked on...

Has the conflict with the current Ford PCM and TCM been resolved yet? I too am getting the dynamic cuts error. My truck was just reprogrammed by Ford 12 Jan 09 under the warranty program. Of course now my Predator does not work. Just checkin...

RE: gas mileage gains on 08 6.4

Too early to tell, but mine reports about the same. Highway reports a little higher, but the computer is not accurate anyway. I 'll know when I top off again.

RE: U1764 (2008 6.4) and 9r06 Missing Modifiable Params??

I checked 9t06a too and it appears the engine/trans settings are locked...capturing the back-up info is virtually transparent since it does it with no prompts prior to writing anything if no back-up exists in the tuner...I am about to write 9r06 to my truck this afternoon.

RE: 6.4

Great...thanks. I normally like AFE and have had very good luck in the past with gas variants. I tried AFE part number 75-11262 for a week and removed it due to noise and limited improvement. If you are trying to generate more noise, then you might be happy. As I mentioned before, I was not ...

RE: 6.4

What intake and exhaust are you using with the 80hp tune? Also, I have heard some of the tuners create a lot of soot...how often is your DPF firing?

RE: 6.4

I tested AFE and Airaid and never sparked any codes, but I also never got above economy tune with stock exhaust. I did not care for the extra noise the open AFE design generates and it caused too much turbo clatter for me. Airaid did not seem much better than stock. I also tested AFE OEM replacement ...
