Will the superchips 1714 work with the 04 Heritage 4.2 or do I need something else?
If it won't wor what's a good one to get? I would like to get a programmer instead of a chip though.

 

Superchips "MAX" Micro Tuner for the 2004 Ford F-series Trucks, Vans & SUV's with the following gasoline engines: 4.2 V6 (only in the 2004 "Heritage" F-150) 4.6L (SOHC 2-valve), 5.4L (both 2-valve & 3-valve SOHC versions), also for the 6.8L V10's. This includes F-150 (all models including Lightning & Heritage), Expedition, F-250 Light Duty, F-250 & 350 SuperDuty V-10's, etc.

Looks like it works

 

, I missed the heritage part in that description

You might want to consider an Xcalibrator. It will give you approximately 50% more HP & torque gain over the 1714. It is custom tuned specifically for your trucks PCM code and if you get it from Troyer Performance Mike will do the tuning programs and he is the best in the business for tuning F150’s.

If you intend to keep the truck a right good while I would get the 9100, pulls trouble shooting codes and such and really kicks butt. I have had mine about 8 months on my 2000 4.2L and its great, no regrets.

 

Does the 2004 4.6 use the EEC-V PCM? I thought it used CAN

 

I think all Heritages are EEC-V but could be wrong. All Worthit has to do is give Mike a good old fashion call and get the straight facts and place an order. On my 2000 4.2L with the 93 oct. program it is like I had been dragging around 6 or 7 cinder blocks on rope behind the truck and somebody just cut it loose. Coworker has a 99 Dodge 318 standard cab with duals and I can pull him off a dead stop or rolling run and just flat leave him behind. I am very please being all of 256 cu ins and a supercab that will average 21 mpg if driven gentily in the sticks.

 

I most likely will get an Xcalibrator, I was asking about the 1714 because a friend of got the wrong one and I was able to get a really good deal on it if I wanted it.

 

Hi worthit 99,

Actually, you CAN use the 1714 Micro Tuner on a 2004 Heritage ("old" body style) F-150, including those with the 4.2 V6 engine. So if you can pick up on a good deal from your friend, that might be worthwhile - I'd suggest seeing if he will let you try it first, if possible.

For those who want the absolute best possible power gains, performance & driveability, our *custom* tuning is the way to go - and for a 2004 Heritage F-150, you can use either our Part# SCT6600 4-program custom chip, our Part# 9100 custom Micro Tuner, or our Part# 9300 custom Xcalibrator. Here's a link to our web site that will show you all our tuning products - but you'll want to read up specifically on those 3 Part#'s I listed here, as those are the multi-program devices that we can supply our *custom* tuning in, which is what will get you the best actual results - here's the link: http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi...chips%3BFoMoCo

Best of luck whatever you decide!

 

Mike,

I went with the 1714 for now. He did let me try it and it works to my liking for now. I was planning to upgrade to a 'custom' tune from you once I get the mods where I want them. I ran into a problem like this with my stang and getting a reburn from a tuner after paying the dyno charges sucked. If there is a better way to do it let me know and I'm sure I'll swing that way.
