Last week my truck went down and I had to take it in to Ford. I didn't know at the time that they would have to replace the FICM and then reflash the truck so now my U7165 is locked and I can't retune my truck. Also I bought the programmer about a year ago but I have never run an update.... is the 9r11 to a place where it would be a good idea to download it? I've been reading that a lot of people have been having disappointing results from it. Thanks for your help.

You will have to contact tech support with the tool powered up.

9r11 should work fine, but you need to unlock the tool before you update it.

if you are happy with it, then stick with it. The 9r05 has quite a bit of fuel in it though so watch those egt's

Thanks Don! Great job on the predator.... It really make my truck pull! I do have another question though...... if i run it in the 100hp tune and do NOT have a bigger exgaust could it cause any problems to my truck other than the turbo over heating?

Doubtful it will give you any issues however its ALWAYS a good idea to have an egt gauge. Exhaust would help your tremendously especially on the 9r05 100hp tunes. If you can't monitor egt's i wouldn't suggest running the 100hp as of yet.
