I have been using the Predator on my Power Stroke for about 8 months. Very happy with Predator until truck had to go in for work and apparently it has been reflashed. Power seems comparable but mileage has dropped 3-5MPG's. Please let me know the process for restoring the older settings and I will follow it to the "T". Thanks and keep up the good work.
PS--I will need exact instructions as I am new to this programming thing!!

Well, the problem lies in the reflash ford did, and theynot only flashed the PCM, but also the TCM (trans) and FICM (injecotr) controllers, which are all collaborating to make things worse.
The only real solution is to send the PCM and FICM out for a reflash to an OLDER ford calibration, then use the tuner.

What is the PCM and FICM? Is this something I would take off truck and send to you?

Out of the truck, yes.
Send to us, no, as we do not offer such a service currently.

Still not sure what a PCM and FICM are! Where would I find these? Can you make a custom tune like the one mentioned on other posts?

PCM is powertrain control module, or the engine computer, what you currently 'flash' tunes to with the Predator.
FICM is fuel injector control module, controls the injectors.
