I have a 01 F-150 XLT Extended Cab Sport.. The truck has the towing package on it... It is a DD with 116,000 on it and has been a great truck... I tow a 5500 lb TT with it about 15 times a year 120 miles round trip on average... I also drive about 100 miles a day round trip to and from work... I am looking for a tuner or some quick bolt ons to give that old 4.6 a little more power to tow with and also picking up some mpg for the daily drives would be ok as well.... I am also thinking about upgrading trucks at some point and would welcome any comments on a new truck? F250? F150? PSD? 5.4? 4.6? Advantages? Disadvantages? Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks

 

You should order a hypermaxx programmer for your new 08 F-250 , or just look to troyer they will be able to help you. If you want the tuner this week you should check out a canned tuner(Edge, Superchip, Diablo) the list goes on.

 

Any 1 better than the other?

 

A custom tune by Mike Troyer

 

The question is what kind of hunting are you more comfortable with? Do you wanna go shotgun hunting with **** Cheney (EDGE) or would you like to do a rifle hunt with the guys from the big game TV shows (troyer)

Don't get me wrong I love my edge and for what I wanted (instant results with a lower cost at the time) it was perfect, but the edge does seem to have it's quirks that frustrate some people here. I've never had a problem, but with troyer tuning you'll know that you have a tune specifically for your truck.

 

I just recently got tunes from Troyer for my '05 4.6L and I'd highly recommend them.. Bear in mind that I've only had 'em a couple weeks and haven't had a chance to try the tow tune yet.. but the 87 perf tune makes it an entirely different truck.. Next up is trying out the 93 perf..

 

Now that you can get an Edge with custom tuning, you can have your cake and eat it too!

You rock Bill!

 

I have had no problems towing my 5,400 lb boat with either my F-150 or my Explorer -- both with Troyer custom tuning.

I have enough torque multiplication and power to spin the tires on my F-150when trying to pull away from a stop light too fast with the boat. Now that's a good problem to have!!!!!!!

 

OK... Seems Troyer is the way.... So how much will this set me back and what kind of time frame am I looking at? As it seems like there must be a delay in getting these units... I imagine I just call or email Troyer with the specifics for my vehicle and he just does a custom tune for it? Thanks for everyones help!!

Thanks

 

didn't know you can get a customizable edge now, good news. there's no way to update the old evo to that formatting is there?
