After sitting on the side lines for almost 2 months now and reading and reading mostly all the post's in all the message board and especially in superchip section and now that I received my new truck of which I am very happy I placed an order with Mike Troyer direct, like I told Mike,It wasnt the first time I used the superchip but the first time I made business with him and I was impressed with his way he treated me, reading this section I know that 99.5% did business with him so I am just going to say, Thanks Mike for your attention, and count me in in the Superchip Club.

Hi Dragonboy!

Your post is an excellent example of the global appeal of F150online. I think maybe most of us (I include myself) think of this place and the people here strictly in terms of what's going on here in America and in Canada. But there are a number of people around the world tuning in here, Europe, a number in Germany, England, & elsewhere. Also in the Philippines & Mexico, and in Panama. It's a kick to me to see people enjoying F150online all over the world.

When I saw the large list of aftermarket parts you are having installed in your email, it made me grin from ear to ear, especially after talking to you on the phone. It looks like you've got just about everything that people talk about here done to that truck, you must have had a lot of fun having all that done. The vast majority of us have to do thigns one piece at a time, which at least lets us know just exactly what each part did for the vehicle. It's kinda fun to see someone doing all of that immediately in a brand new vehicle, lucky you!

As we spoke of over the phone, if you pick up any idle of driveability issues from the parts that have been installed, we can do a custom program to compensate for them. As we discussed, we'd prefer to see the vehicle run for at least a few miles before installing the Superchip, just to make sure that it's idling properly, no problems with detonation, surges, etc. In other words, so we'll know how it is right now after all of those changes, but without the Superchip. This is very important, as you want to be able to isolate the source of any problems. I know you probably will want to put it on right away, like your other mods, I understand. Doing it after first making sure there are not already any driveability or other issues will help let us know if we have to make changes to shift points to and compensate for your wheel & tires size changes, or perhaps need to make an adjustment for the bigger MAF, etc. Your mods are mostly fine with the regular Superchip, but those 2 areas could cause us to need to make some adjustments for you, as we discussed.

That should be one very fun truck, we wish you all the best with it!

Glad you joined all of us here at F150online,

Mike,
thank you for the welcome note, and let me say that this site has been very helpfull in selecting my mods, well some of my mods I already had expirience and one is the Superchip, others I had no idea existed, being the owner of an Explorer my mods there were limited to just the chip and the Borla catback.
My wife is jealous at momemt because I am giving more time to, like she says a kid with a new toy and shes right, but thats not truth no material thing can take away my love from her.
I am planning to drive my truck stock for a while just to get used to it and then like you said start the mods one by one until the chip is installed, I would be crossing my fingers so evrything work's fine, I'll give a call as soon as it is installed.
and again thank for all your advise.

Hi Dragonboy,

Ahh, now I understand. For some reason, I was under the impression that you already had all of these modifications installed at once, my mistake!!

Actually I'm very glad to hear that, and that you are going to be installing them one at a time, so you'll know what affect on the vehicle each change has, excellent! That's going to be a lot of fun with all those changes, lucky you.

Maybe you can talk your wife into helping you, or at least have some fun riding with you after each change, and she'll enjoy the process too, you never know!

Good luck,

Mike,
I hope she doesnt read that last part, after being at the dealer she said she wanted to drive the truck to get used to it after taking a better look of the Navigator, shes hacking because the kids are growing up and need a place to practice soccer safely when driving to the farm.

 

HI Dragonboy,

Whoops, sorry about that! I only mentioned it because sometiems getting our wives involved makes it a little easier for them to not gripe aobut how much moeny we spen d on our go-fast toys. I figure, make them a part of it, and they'll enjoy it too. That usually equals less struggle when you finally lead up to the ultimate: "Honey, can I have a supercharger, too?"

I started getting my wife involved years ago, taught her how to speed-shift, how to do a power-180 and some other things, and I think I created a monster, she always wants more.
