Lots of black smoke w/9r10 @ 100hp setting

I updated from V.9r03 to 9r10 today. I set it to the 100hp setting and drove to Home Depot. I noticed it would belch out black smoke when taking off from a light. On the interstate, I let off the pedal and coasted for 10 seconds or so, then lightly accellerated to get back to 65mph and a LOT of ...

Thanks for the reply and email. No, I do not tow with my truck on a regular basis. I keep it tuned to the middle (60hp) performance tune.

In all fairness, I want to report this... Though I thought they had been replaced at some point during one of the services, I checked my records and there was no ...

OK, here's the CALID: "VXCF43NHEX"


BTW, I located the EBP sensor. It's by the thermostat housing on the left side of the engine. Looks like lots of fun to get to - especially since I have a 6" lift and 37" tires :? .

Well I looked at the site about cleaning the EBP tube and sensor on the 7.3L, but I'll be damned if I can find it on my 6.0 :? . Where exactly is this thing on the 6.0 liter engine??

Do a google for "guzzle". He has a great write-up, with pictures, to clean the EBP tube and sensor. Caveat: The pictures are a 7.3 PSD; principle should be the same.

Thanks for the info. I found the site:

Hopefully, I can find the sensor on my 6.0L truck ...

I found one on ebay for about half of ford's price. You will see a code if yours is goofy.

We must have seen the same one, because I found one for $69 (havent bought it yet). However, I did replace my fuel filters which were past due for replacement. Unfortunately, no change.

Re: RE: My fuel economy has gone DOWN with every update!!


You could also try reinstalling the stock tune to get a new baseline. Maybe something other than the programmer is affecting your mileage. I had a plugged EBP sensor (threw a code but no CES). Milage improved after replacement.

What is an EBP sensor and is it easily replaced? (I am ...

Re: RE: My fuel economy has gone DOWN with every update!!

It is not recommended to go off the digital display as they're are normally incorrect and can sometimes vary especially after programming.

I also check my mileage the old-fashioned way and it's 10.8 mpg. It's simply baffling as to why my mileage has decreased each time I update. I haven't noticed ...

My fuel economy has gone DOWN with every update!!

I bought a Predator when I bought my 2005 F250 new in Dec '04. I dont know what it was programmed for when I bought it, but my mileage on my digital display on the instrument panel ranged from 13.1 to 13.4 mpg. A few months later I updated the programmer to U7165_pcm_6_0-8r10 and immediately noticed ...
