I have a 2000 F150 and called Superchips to order one after all the good things I have heard. I am particularly unhappy with the shift personality of my truck.(5.4,auto,355:1) Damn thing can't figure out what gear to be in. (Slight exageration, but it is much worse than the '97 Expedition I had before)Anyway I was told by a nice fellow at Superchips that they haven't got one for a 2000 F150. Can you believe that? I would think if they were on theball they would have gotten that done the week these things hit the streets. This is the biggest selling vehicle in the country I am told.
Booooo!

Hey Jim, I see you're about an hour north of me! I just received my Superchip today and I have a 2000 F-150 Lariat. Perhaps you ordered a different chip from another company. I have e-mailed Mike Troyer (Superchip Distributor) on several occasions and he was very responsive and helpful. You can order the Superchip here in this site, I did. I had no problems what so ever and received the Superchip in good time! They also give you a discount if you order the Superchip here (F-150 Online) and are a member. I think that's the best way to go. Just fill out the form, you also have to get your computer code located on the passenger side door when you open it, it's in between the hinges. There should be a code, usually three letters followed by a number. Mine was CPE2. Just link on www.f150online.com/scpp/index.html

I have a 2000 XLT (Code BIK2) and haven't had any probs with the shift until I added a set of JBA Headers. Mine doesn't 'confuse' the gears, but under gentle acceleration (I know, what's that, right??) it upshifts to quickly. Mike T. told me it could be the ECU telling the tranny to shift as it has the power to accelerate at the current rate at a higher gear. Just a little annoying, but still, it does happen...

Dear Jim Eckford,

Welcome to F150online!

I would like to know who you spoke to at Superchips, if you happen to remember perhaps? They have been making Superchips for the 2000 F-150's ever since they hit the streets back in August last year! We have many people right here using them, as you can see from the responses here already. Is it possible that you called the wrong company? There is another company that has always deliberately named themselves and their web site just as close to the real Superchips Inc. as possible, and it's a company called ADS, who calls their product a "Super Chip", their web site is superchip.com, and they do primarily GM applications. They do not have anything for the 2000 Fords. I just cannot imagine why anyone at the real Superchips Inc. would ever say anything like that. Especially given the fact that they were the first company in the world to do the Ford computer, and the first each year to get those new applications out, including being the very first to have chips for the 2000 Fords. Anything is possible of course, so for what it's worth, please accept my apologies if this is what you were told, because it is obviously not accurate, those Superchips have been available for a long time for the 2000's.

Please feel free to contact me privately, and I'll be happy to give you all the details. We also have our F150online Superchips ordering system right here! You can access it either via our banner ad that is in rotation at the top of these pages, or you can get to it by typing in this URL: www.f150online.com/scpp/index.html.

Good luck with your truck,

jim Eckford,

You can trust Mike 100% and what he says. He not only sells the superchips, but offers additional help and information at no cost.

The superchips for the 2000s have been available for many months now.

Call Mike..he will take care of you!

I talked to Mike, the Superchips guy, and he set me straight. I was given bad info, they have Ford 2000 F150 covered and I ordered immediatly. Mike is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Hi Jim,

I enjoyed talking with you last night! It was like a blast from the past, talking about our older hot-rod days. I particularly enjoyed going over the things we discussed with regards to headers, and how they are made these days versus some of the problems that you & I both used to have with headers. It's changed so much, and I really hadn't thought about that in awhile until you & I spoke last night.

Since you already have the airbox elimination kit and the cat-back exhaust, you're in very good shape in terms of bang-for-the-buck mods to gain power, and the addition of the Superchip will compliment both of them very nicely. Your comments about the shift characteristics were right on the money, and you'll find that this is much improved with the Superchip. The shift delay signal is removed, the spark retards that reduce engine power during and after the upshift are removed, and line pressure is increased to snug up the feel. The end result should have you enjoying that vehicle much more.

Have fun, & good luck with your truck!

Will the superchip help with my rough idle problem. I hate it and it is driving me nuts

Dear cybweed,

JHerron's response was right on the money. A number of people have commented here over the past months about having a bit smoother idle after installing the Superchip. However, I would not buy it for that specific purpose, I wouldn't want anyone to have the impression that the Superchip can fix a rough idle, as idle quality is affected by numerous factors.

Have you been to your dealer's service department to have them check it out? And if so, what did they say? Does it feel like a mild stumble, a real miss, ec?

In other words, if what you are experiencing is normal for these engines, the Superchip may smooth that out a bit for you, but it cannot fix a mechanical *problem*, such as a marginal O2 sensor, etc., if something is not right. So if you haven't already, a trip to your service dept. would be your next step.

Another thing is, what type of gas are you using? Make sure you are using a high-quality fuel, something like Texaco, Amoco, Citgo, those are my 3 favorites due to superior detergent additives and high energy content, which gives good performance and mileage. A dirty gasoline like BP can give you a noticeably rough idle; a low-energy gasoline like Exxon will deliver worse gas mileage. It may well have *nothing* to do with your gasoline, but it's somehting that at lerast has to be asked. Shell has recently been reported to give good results too, and there are others that can and do give good results, but I try to stick with those I already know to be excellent fuels. It can make a noticeable difference in idle quality.

If you like, feel free to give us a call and I'll be happy to go over this in more detail with you.

Good luck with your truck,

Mike, where do you get all this info on what gasolines are good and what are bad?
My brother runs a BP station and garage and he knows all of the tank truck drivers, that deliver to him.
You made the statement Citgo is good and BP is a "dirty" gasoline, then you tell me this.
On many occasions my brother will get a split load(mostly premium) and he gets 4500 gallons and the rest is taken up to a Citgo stations, or a Texaxco,Crown,7-11, ect, etc.This is the 2nd time I've heard this from you.
Oh, I drove tank trucks for 15 years and you wouldn't want to know what kinds of gas goes where.
Oh, you where "kinda' right on Exxon, but it mostly pretains to high population areas.
He(my brother) and I have talked to the delivery drivers(common carrier) and all the full loads are bottom loaded with the same gas, now how does that factor in to your evaluation of what's good and what's bad???
By the way Texaco gas is Circle K gas too, so I guess Circle K is a "good" gas in your books??

Fordyfour, you are right on the money. Of course, I know very little about gasoline, or MTBE, or TAME, or any other octane boosters. I have only been producing gasoline for 23 years. Here at the Citgo Refinery in Lake Charles, we sell gasoline to "EVERY" major and minor name brand station in a 100 mile radius. Guess where it all comes from, the exact same tank rack.
So, when someone tells you that, Citgo, versus Texaco, versus, 7-11, versus Gate is different, listen carefully. I can assure you and anyone else that wants to talk gasoline, 23 years of producing gasoline and additives and 10 years of very sucessful racing, will definitely quickly separate the wanna-knows from those that do know.
