RE: Best Tow tune (cal) for VXCF4

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.

Any ...

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 ...

Re: RE: What is the BEST older Crom for The 6.0?

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,
I am still waiting on ...

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.

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!!!
