I have a 2000 7.3 PSD, its been tuned to the 85HP for a couple years and i want to tune to the 40HP tow and it will not take the tune...any ideas???
What is the best tune for towing a 4500lb trailer 600 miles,for power and mileage??

It goes thru all the steps and when it tells me to turn the ignition to the on position without starting the engine, it says that the tune has failed....and yes..i am able to power the programmer up
