I have a '05 F150 base w/4.6 and Auto. & 3.55 rear end, 2 wheel drive.

I am looking for a programmer or switchable chip that I can use a separate program for towing for more power hardershifts then go back to stock tune for fuel mileage etc.

What do you guys recommend, I am a newborn when it comes to trucks.

Thanks in advance.
Keith

 

I have the Xcal2 tuned by Mike Troyer, towing is great with the Xcal2 BTW I tow 18'6 Sea Ray cuddy cabin, as for MPG's you get 3 tunes with the Xcal2, I run a 93 oct tune and I get 18-20 MPG hwy.

 

Definitely look into the TP custom tuned XCal2. It’s the way to go IMO

 

I also got the Xcal2 from Troyer Performance. Huge diff in power. I had (just traded in for an '06 w/ 5.4) a 4X4 STX w/ the 4.6 and towed a 6000lb camper. Although it was difficult, even w/ the performance tune, I think it would have been impossible without! Make sure you tell them you're a member of F150online for a discount. I need to contact them for a tune for my new '06 FX4... Good luck!

 

Iv got the Edge Evolution programer, and it had made a world of differance when i pull my 18' car hauler

 

Hi Keith,

We can easily take care of that for you.

We have specialized in tuning these vehicles for many years, and we provide a set of 3 different custom tunes set up for whatever level of octane and whatever type of vehicle use that each individual vehicle owner requires - that is easily done.

It is in a hand-held tuner that is extremely advanced, allows for complete diagnostics, high-speed datalogging, Internet update capabilities, email update capabilities, and many other features.

We also provide this at a discount to registered members of F-150 Online, of course, as another poster mentioned.

This is what will get you the best tuning that delivers the highest safe & sustainable power & performance gains, as well as the best towing capability, best driveability, transmission shift characteristics, etc.

I hope this brief info helps, & please feel free to call us at our number listed below & we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks for your post, & hope to hear from you!

 

Im just curious. Since, I was debating getting the Xcal 2 when I get my truck lifted on 37s, is there anything different you would do with the tunes since the increase of tire size?

Thanks.
