Jonathan "Cooter" Carlson here form the country of Afghanistan with a question on custom tuning for my 2004 Ford F350 6.0L Diesel (which is sadly back in the States ):

1) Does the calibration use a exhaust pressure sensor feedback strategy? I have heard that later calibarations do not use EBP feedback in engine performance- which is more preferable? The rollback strategy will use the EBP sensor instead of the inferred strategy that the newer calibrations use. Using the sensor for an actual input is more preferred.

2) Can my intake be adjusted? I am installing a 4in diameter intake and need to know if they increased surface area can be taken into account in the programming. There is no need to adjust the tuning for intake systems unless your mass airflow sensor is having issues with the intake tube design.

3) I am installing a custom made external oil cooler (Goodbye nasty Ford internal oil cooler!!); can the error code for more than a ten degree difference between oil temp and coolant temp be removed from custom calibrations? I've been told that if not the ECM will retard the motor from making higher levels of power. I am unable to answer that and I am also unaware of that phenomenon. I assume that Bill has control over that though so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you everyone who can shed some light on this; I am in the process of buying parts for the truck (Garrett POWERMAX turbo, 155CC injectors, custom made water/meth system). Just because I am deployed doesn't mean I can't enjoy my truck!!

Thanks!!
Jonathan
