Emailed Bill when I did this original post - have not heard anything from PHP.... how do I get action on this?

I have a 80 tow / 80 daily / 100hp --- I would like to change the 100hp to an altitude friendly tune so I don't belch smoke.

Currently I am running stock tune while I am at altitude. I can only run 80 daily or tow below 5000ft.

Thanks
Travis

I will tell Bill about it tomorrow. For once, he is actually enjoying his weekend so Monday he will find out about it.

It's as easy as putting the new program on the server and you downloading it.

Thanks! Of course he should have a weekend!! I know how busy they are. Its a good and bad problem! Took over a month to get the first modification to my 80 tunes, hoping it wont be too much work/trouble for Bill to whip up a high altitude one to replace the 100hp.

Just have him reply to my email... and I am not trying to use you as a mediary.

Subscribed. I live in a valley floor at 5,000 feet and drive to 6 and 7 thousand feet almost every day. I was looking at the 100 tune for daily driving in a 6-speed but may have to go to a lower tune??? Maybe at 5,000 it's not an issue from what I'm reading.

Thanks for the observations!

The amount of fuel required for an honest 100 HP at high elevation is going to be too much to be smoke free.

But when I want an honest 100hp I don't mind the smoke. If I am cruising 65 mph on the 100hp setting there shouldn't be any smoke. The impression I got from Travis's post is he is getting smoke while cruising empty, not accelerating or towing?

In all honesty, if Travis' truck smokes ALL of the time, he has a mechanical issue with the truck.

I think what he means is that any time he accelerates at a decent rate.....

Ford kicks over to the High altitude maps at 4500 ft so generally you will see some smoke changes in the 4000 to 5000 ft range.

Kind of but not absolute, the tipping point will be about 5500 so figure out whats happening with the tables.

The high altitude maps also have a bearing on me when I'm home at 4100 ft.

So........
