A very satisified customer.
I just returned from a trip with my 1999.5 F-550 pulling a Cedar Creek 36 RLTS. Total vehicle weight: around 24,000 lb.
7.3 4x4 ZF6 with 4.88 rear axle. 2500 rpm @ 70 mph in OD.
I was running with a Diablo Predator before and was forced to return the truck to stock tune just to tow the trailer because the EGT would easily hit 1400 degrees on any hill, even using thier mildest Tow/Safe tunes.
.
I purchased a Phoenix 6 position chip with
Stock
High Idle
25hp Heavy tow
40hp Medium tow
80hp Performance
Smoke Show.
.
After installing the chip and pulling the trailer, I found that on the 25hp Heavy Tow, the engine would pull the trailer up any hill up to about 4-5% grade in OD without having to shift down.
The turbo would simply spool up and the EGT's would not go over 1100 degrees - cooler by 100 degrees over the stock tune.
It was very surprising to me how much better the engine sounded and ran as well.
Bill knows his stuff and if I ever have a need for a another chip on a different truck I will not consider any other vendor. VERY satisified customer.
