Flying monkey from what I understand this is just an issue with one strategy on the 2015 f150 ecoboost models

He said they just had a truck with our strategy and he didn't have the issue. Have you had the issue on your truck? I just loaded mine and haven't had an issue yet.

Well I got scared and just put the stock tune back in lol. I want to run the tune I just don't want something to happen to my brand new truck. I was just gonna put the mpg booster tune on it for now anyways and it's not showing up as an option

After choosing write tune then Custom Tune, 2 PKCWAM6 (r1) and (R2) showed up on my screen list with 93 octane , 91 octane etc. so I choose PKCMAW6 (R2) . When all finished i went for test drive and immediately noticed no power down low , it got worse while i was driving to no pedal again , I crawled to side of road put original back up and back to normal so this is what my findings are. I did try PKCWAM6 (r1) and did not work at all so the latest fix was the PKCWAM6 (R2) that i first tried tonight and that i first described in my findings on my test ride this evening so still no fix for us .

Jake D, I actually started this thread on 30 June when I tried to tune my new 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost with the Intune. The first time, it worked when I test drove it, but had the dead pedal when I went to back out of the driveway the next morning. I've tried it twice more with updates posted by Mike Litsch and Brian McMahon. Once it had the dead pedal issue after 10 miles, and then the last time it simply lost power while I was on cruise control on the interstate at 70 mph, but recovered when I pumped the pedal (with an 18 wheeler on my tail!). All times I simply plugged in the Intune and returned to stock tune, but after the last time (on the interstate), I've decided to just sit tight and let Mike/Brian figure out what the fix is and post it here. Not happy that it has been over a month and no fix yet, but I'd recommend you wait until the engineers here post a fix.

Having the same issues on our 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. How much longer to wait to expect a fix from DiabloSport?

Brian, any news yet? Last I heard you were getting a truck in that exhibited the problem, but haven't heard anything since.
