Suggestion...please post and update the status of testing versions on the download page so we know what to ask for even if the latest version is not ready for release...otherwise we keep emailing back and forth and have to drill through all the strings to determine the version and to compile a list of problems to look out for. Also, why can't the test versions be posted somewhere with a disclaimer so we don't have to request via email? Of course no one wants to test against outdated programs. I understand what you guys are doing here, but are customer vehicles at $50K+ the only way to do this? The last several versions you guys put on the street as official releases have been plagued with problems. Customers should be testing the 80-90% solution vice stabs in the dark that cause these new vehicles not to start, buck, etc. Not trying to be a pain, but this process seems akin to Microsoft except these are not cheap PCs we are talking about. I normally love your products and just want U7164 to be better...thanks for the help!

Speed limiter should be stock unless you changed it. Other than that yeah you can use it. Why a little more than you're used to?

there's a reason that no one else is supporting these trucks mainly because Ford was doing some really different stuff to the files. The first release issue was not intentional by any means nor was it to be a test. It just so happened that everything worked on the trucks we had in for testing and didn't go so well on some others out in the field. Now that it's all fixed and verified. There's a new release crom in your inbox via email. :wink:

You the man Brian! Of course I can't use it until someone can help me clear the original back-up in the tool. It is mated to my truck since I tried to write v.9r07b back in Jan which errors out before the back-up can be written to clear the tool. I am still stuck in the middle with a tool I can't use. Please tell me how to reset...Thanks!

Ok Brian, Been a week running 160 tune . The truck runs great. Still really cant complain about much,but to let you know what
I notice. Trucks converter stays locked up down to about 30mph. will down shift if you step into petal. I kinda like it. Dont
know if it is bothering anything, but it has gotten rid of that agrevating shifting between 45mph and 50 mph. Only does this
on 160 tune. Also highway driving over 65mph, If you get on the petal,let off,then back on quickly,the truck seems to stumble
a little. also get a puff of white smoke, but then it takes right off pretty good. Well, Thats about it . Other then that truck runs
great. Changing exhaust from pf back to 5" strait piper , Hope the get rid of the back pressure on the engine. Stock exhaust
on 160 tune sounds like and air compressor..... I will let you know if i ca n report anything else thanks Brian
