RE: I have had enough!
I have run for a while since last post and found my fuel mileage gain, was either temporary or just a top off difference, because I'm still about the same, at 16.8 or 16.9 @73 MPH. Going 65 doesn't make any noticeable difference, not sure about 50-55, I can't drive that slow for several hundred ...

F250 and Predator not friends
I have a 2004 PS 6.0 F250 Automatic. I also bought a Predator u7165 about 9-12 months after I bough the truck new in 2004 (now upgraded to u7165_pcm_6_0-8r13.crom) . The list of motor problems I've had is lengthy, and I've been stranded and towed multiple times. I've had the turbo replaced, the EGR ...

RE: I have had enough!
Ok, I'm back with some interesting news. I mentioned that I had the injectors all replaced. The jury's not in yet, but I took about a 150 mile trip and checked my milage and to my surprise I was getting near 20mpg(from 16mph typical) with everything stock and the DSP set to the 65HP setting ...

MPG
I have a friend with the Banks system, including exhaust, intake, and the 6 gun. He runs a 6.0L ('05) 4x4 supercab 8' box, manual transmission. He gets 22-25 on the highway.
I have almost the same truck mine is an '04, 6.5' box, autotransmission, but stock, without or without the Predator the best ...

RE: Re: Is the Predator too Aggressive, dumping coolant all
First, sonicbluel do you like giving money away needlessly? I don't. If Ford will cover a repair, I'm prepared to let them. It has nothing to do with balls as you so elegantly suggest, it's purely a common sense financial matter. Besides, DiabloSport claimed that their product would not void my ...

RE: I have had enough!
Well, here's my follow-up in case it helps anyone else.
After my trip, the truck was still blowing about 1/2 gallon of coolant every 250 miles. So off with the heads!! The dealership replaced them under warranty. When they re-assembled the body back down on the frame, the mechanic slipped and ...

RE: Re: Is the Predator too Aggressive, dumping coolant all
Well, I'm back from the 3K trip, running about 70mph most of the way and the only problem has been the loss of coolant, even with the factory program in place, the amount of lost fliud/mile has gone done since I removed the Predator tuning, but still exists, and I have no heat from the heater, even ...
