RE: Re: RE: No Power
Still nothing. Truck is going back to garage on tuesday. I told them that they must have detunned it and they denied it. I bought the truck new in 06 and had more power until the last time it went in to get a new turbo thats when my programer wouldnt load then. I updated it and then it would load but would not do what it did three years ago.

They have added more TM to the TCM file, in addition to pulling back the max pulse width on the injecotrs, meaning you cant get enough fuel.silverbullet06 wrote:Still nothing.

Re: RE: Re: RE: No Power
But if by your own admission, there is no TCM support in predator, and PW is a function in the FICM, and you have no control over that, how might you fix that then?mikel wrote:They have added more TM to the TCM file, in addition to pulling back the max pulse width on the injecotrs, meaning you cant get enough fuel.silverbullet06 wrote:Still nothing.

Re: RE: Re: RE: No Power
The older programmers from Diablo if im not mistaken were FICM programmers so there must be someone there that knows how to fix the problem/.....PSDPlayer wrote:But if by your own admission, there is no TCM support in predator, and PW is a function in the FICM, and you have no control over that, how might you fix that then?mikel wrote:They have added more TM to the TCM file, in addition to pulling back the max pulse width on the injecotrs, meaning you cant get enough fuel.silverbullet06 wrote:Still nothing.

Guys, we ARE working on this issue as i type this. It's taking us a little more time than expected as Ford kinda threw us a curveball on this one. I can't give an exact date on when it will be completed but when it is, I'm sure you guys will love it!!!

No, i don't work here.

Re: RE: Re: RE: No Power
There is no question that the Predator is pretty full, and is not likely to get TCM or FICM support in addition to PCM support, so we are still looking into alternative solutions.PSDPlayer wrote:But if by your own admission, there is no TCM support in predator, and PW is a function in the FICM, and you have no control over that, how might you fix that then?mikel wrote:They have added more TM to the TCM file, in addition to pulling back the max pulse width on the injecotrs, meaning you cant get enough fuel.silverbullet06 wrote:Still nothing.

Yeah this is bogus they have been working on it since I called in January. Might as well spend 300 $ on another tuner.
