BUMP.
Any other input. I tow a 15k (loaded) toy hauler with this truck, and I am not really impressed with it currently. If someone with the 6.0 does heavy towing and has a tune they like for some reason let me know. Thanks. ;)
Just trying to see if i should keep messing with this thing or e-bay ...

Best Tow tune (cal) for VXCF4
I am wanting to know what peoples results were (power and mileage) with the tow tune on different cals. I currently have 8r14 on my predator and VXCF4 on the truck. I am not really impressed with this cal, but I am afraid to update to the newest due to power and mileage suffering. I get good power ...

RE: 05 6.0 -- EGR Delete tune modification / Turbo lag quest
Tuning SS,
Is there a benefit to getting a custom tune other then clearing the CEL (which I am not getting)? If so, what would it help? Thanks.

U7165 - 8r10 VS 8r14 - Whats your opinion?
Just trying to see what results folks have had on these two cal's. Or if anyone can recommend another cal for VXCF4. Tried the new ones before - not going back down that road.
What kind of mileage,power,other problems,etc. did you get if you happened to be using or have used one of these cals.

05 6.0 -- EGR Delete tune modification / Turbo lag question
Hello,
Could someone modify my tune to allow for the egr delete that I just did. I am not getting a CEL but I there are trouble codes shown in the computer.
I should ask first, is there any other reason to modify the tune other than to keep the CEL off? I have noticed more turbo lag when I went ...

RE: Re: RE: What is the BEST older Crom for The 6.0?
For those interested in fuel economy, I recently rolled back to 8r10. I got 12 MPG towing a utility trailer with about 9500# of roofing shingles on it for 200mi. Unloaded (still with the trailer) I got about 17-18. I am going to try the 8r14 also just to see if it is any different. I will say this ...

Re: RE: What is the BEST older Crom for The 6.0?
BIGROC,
What verision did you start with or was the 8r10 in the Predator when you brought it? I have verision 7r80 and I'm nervous to update to any of the newer programs. Reading other postings it sounds like I may run into problems going to another verision. Do you have any mods or running stock ...

jtc1983,
About how long have you been running your 9r11 tunes or a better question how long have you been running Predator tunes on your truck.
About 6 months. During this time I had the oil cooler replaced under warranty, but that is a fairly common problem with these so I dont know if the ...

RE: What is the BEST older Crom for The 6.0?
Santiago22,
I am currently running 9r11. That will change as soon as I get rid of Fords newest cal. No other mods at this time. EGR delete will be next since warranty just ran out. As far as updates - stick with what you have and avoid all Ford dealers if you can.
9secondchev,

RE: What is the BEST older Crom for The 6.0?
Thanks for posting that info bigroc. I would be happy to get 20 MPG again. I will try that cal after i get my truck flashed back and get rid of of this crappy new cal. Did this reduce your turbo lag any? I have noticed mine got worse after Ford flashed it last. Maybe its just me, but it seems worse.

RE: FICM Question
Thats the same place I just contacted about doing mine. I must be right after you. They told me 5 weeks. The price on my sheet was $200 and a $250 deposit. That is to flash the FICM and also roll back the ECM/TCM to a previous strategy. Or you can pay the $150 for just the FICM flash. I thought for ...

FICM and ECM/TCM rollback
I am considering having another company re-flash my FICM and roll everything else back to a previous stock calibration. After doing this could I also "roll back" my predator to a previous cal to flash my truck. I have had it with this VXCF9 crap. Thanks.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Reward: Help me find my lost power 6.0
Guys, we ARE working on this issue as i type this. It's taking us a little more time than expected as Ford kinda threw us a curveball on this one. I can't give an exact date on when it will be completed but when it is, I'm sure you guys will love it!!!
