need help

[OneMeanStroker]

Any one hear what fixed this? My brother said his Superchips had more power than the custom tunes he just got on his FU2. It's to the point its costing him money for work. I am a very satisfied customer, but he's making me eat my words. I'd love to have him as satisfied as I am, but he's to the point he wants to send the chip back. It's now been a week. Bill? Cody?

I passed a note on to the guys "up-stairs".

don't get me wrong. i can tell its working but im not getting the power i was with the bullydog. the 120 setting is about the same as 75 horse setting on my bullydog. the 100 horse feels about like the 50 on bully dog. and the 80 daily driver i cant even tell its on. i also have the 80 and 60 tow settings. ive have towed anything yet but i can't tell they are working either. The only good thing about the chip is im not getting codes and check engine light coming on constantly. i also lost about 1.5mpg over stock on the highway. and 2.5 in town. im not much of a speed demon i keep it about 70. so i know its the chip and not the foot. the bullydog i lost 3-4 no matter in town or highway. i averaged 16 stock highway and 13.5 town stock. ive been trying to get a hold of cody but havnt got him on the phone yet.

And you are doing these comparisons on a fully warmed up engine?

Makes a HUGE difference!

Are you sure you're not looking at this from an accelerator pedal feel standpoint? Most other tuning companies make the accelerator pedal feel like an on/off switch and command full fuel by about 1/2 "throttle". Besides, BullyDog has fairly aggressive "timing" on their tuning and yes, it does give the truck a more sprightly feel.

You really need to do some diagnostics on your truck, Bill. It shouldn't run like a complete turd as there are a lot of the same 99.5-01 manual trucks running around with the exact same tuning you have (OneMeanStroker from this thread for instance).

As for Shawn, I'm beginning to wonder if Brian's truck has stage 2 injectors or not...if it runs fine with canned programming from Superchips, he does not have single shots nor larger nozzles.

yes i always wait till my motor is warmed up. dont want to jeperdize my motor. i did notice i had to give half to full throttle before i could feel the difference on flat ground. under load steep grades i just have to nudge the throttle before i notice the chip working. on 80dd and tow it feels no different then running stock. yes mainly off throttle response. as far as getting my truck looked at. i have no one in town besides ford and they are a bunch of idiots. i was getting the turbo flutter and they blamed my new clutch, my computer and my valve cover harness. so i replaced everything except my clutch. still same problem. tried to get me to put another 4,000.00 in it for enjectors and turbo. they told me they didnt think it was the problem but it was worth a shot. so i stopped there and got online and research the forums and found the ats housing. needless to say they just want your money not fix the problem. I live in eastern oregon, so if you know anyone that knows what your doing within the area let me know.

Cody, do you think it would be worth a shot to program for regular injectors. I'd love for him to eat his words.

[OneMeanStroker]

Also, would he be able to switch to a FU chip at that point.

You should have the same programming base calibration that he does......

Do you have an FU Shawn?
Just burn his chip with the FU you have (provided you have the FU) and see what happens.....

He can always use his to reburn back to his FU2 tunes if it doesn't work out. If it turns out that his works well with stock-injector programming......

[OneMeanStroker]

So just plug it in to my burner and poof. Sounds worth a try. Really hope it works. Will it work with my tunes?
