Curious about adjustments

leroberts · Post by **leroberts** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:57 am

I have a 2004 F-150 Stx . it has the 4.6L v8, tornado air induction insert, 3" exhaust tube from crossover to the Super 10 Flowmaster dumped in front of the rear end. using 3.73 LS gears. I have put the Predator U7151 Premium Fuel Tune in and would like to have a firmer shift with maybe a little more acceleration. is there any adjustments in the program that I can change or do different to get this? Also I see where the predator supports the "Diablotune" for the 93 octane tune. I am using the current version of software (9r11) on my Predator but I do not see the option for the "Diablotune" which was one of my main reasons for purchasing the Tuner was for this specific tune. Do I have something wrong with my Predator or am I just overlooking this option? Don't get me wrong Diablo has done a great job and I would not use any other program on my truck other than Diablo, but REALLY would like to use the DiabloTune if at all possible or at least something that they have created for absolute max performance.

Has anyone one else run across this before or have any ideas?

I do want to be sure and say that Diablo did an awesome job on the program for the 91 Fuel. I have looked at several reviews and did a lot of studying before purchasing my Diablo. I think that this is probably the best bang for your buck and a great out of the box tune. Just would like to have a little more on the low end side to go with everything else, hence why I would like to find out if the DiabloTune for 93 octane is compatible with my truck or even a tune that can give me the same performance from the 91 octane. just want to know that I'm get all she's got to give with performance and economy.

Been looking at other forums and ended up finding one between "DiabloMike" and "malexander52" that is probably the best review and informative thread thus far about the F-150's and this tune. He basically had the same thoughts that I have on this and my understanding is that there were some custom tunes written to help improve the low end, (I could be misunderstanding if not). But in any case, I would be curious to find out what Mike might have been able to do for him. At this point after reading all those I think I would like to see if those custom tunes were still available or if Mike might be able to help out in this case also.

Overall though I am very happy with Diablo's work and after having this truck nearly 10 years. I can honestly say I love my truck more now than ever and can't wait to do more to it and continue to Beef up the Performance side.

The other obvious reason for anyone to go with Diablo from what I have seen through several of the forum sites. is the awesome tech support and customer service that they continuously provide to there customers it seems. \Great Job Diablo and thank you. :

Ok so I'm getting 3 trouble codes now.

1. P0606 ECM/PCM Process
2. P1000 obd systems read
3.p2106 throttle actuator force limited

Also I reinstalled the tune to ensure I did it correctly.

I attached the custom tune that I installed back on here just in case.

So when you start it the RPM's drop to where it nearly wants to die (Low idle RPM may have been intended not a big issue for me). Ok on takeoff the truck runs strong 0-15 MPH or so then just feels like it falls on its face

On the highway it spits and pops almost acts like the timing is off and also has a very delayed throttle response with hardly any get up and go when it does finally catch up. Not sure what the cause is exactly.

Any Ideas? By the way thank you for your help on this, I have been around vehicles a LONG time and Never seen customer support and what can only be explained as appreciation for their customer. So AWESOME job and I am greatly appreciative of the help from Diablo.

Please let me know what you think on this issue it has sir, and again.

THANK YOU!!
