Ok i have had my Xcal 3 for a few days now. I am waiting on my custom tunes to be emailed to me.
My problem is the preloaded tunes on the X3. The first time i loaded a tune i must admit i was confused as i did not no what to load as all i saw was towing and stock. I loaded what i thought was a 87 tune and selected towing and changed the cold air intake to the other one that is not stock intake. i think it said LTI or LTF cai or something like that, but the Truck was running like stock and was gut less comparied to my Edge running level 2. Not impressed! So i returned it back to stock last night.
Well today i thought id give it another try! Loaded a tune and this time it was even worse. WTF? The truck was boging out and idling really low and would stall. You put your foot on the gas and it boged out and almost died. There was also a smell coming from the truck after only 2 km. Even the little wrench came on and said my truck need maintenance. I had to pull over and put it back to stock which fixed all the symptoms.
Can anybody out there help me with this? The users guide is very vague and does not go through all the menus to program the truck.
I have a 04 F150 FX4 5.4 3V new body style. I there somebody out there that could give me a step by step to program a 87 perf tune? sorry for asking to be spoon feed but im not having any kind of luck.

Thanks in advance.
Frustrated!

 

where did you get this xcal3?

 

I got it from Troyer Performance. I am waiting on my custom tunes and i posted on the SCT forums about the tuner and Mike Troyer said the preloaded tunes on the Xcal 3 would be better than the edge level 2 i was running. So i tried to load them hence the post!

 

i would contact mike directly tomorrow-phil
