If you want advice, than listen to it, don't just stick to what you think and tell everyone else they are wrong ...

im not saying your wrong but its not 100% either way, the tune being removed and still having problems dosnt mean it has nothing to do with the tune. thats the only advise your giving(its not the tune) and i already told you justin said that. if you have expierence with something like this explain. otherwise you cant convince me they are not related. seriously what is wrong with you guys. if you put new coils on and the truck INSTINTLY starts to run *****y you would think it was the coils. your tunes work so your happy good for you wish mine did.

People will buy tuners and tunes no matter what happens to you or your motor. If you know so much about motors why did you continue to rocket the engine when you suspected knock and or a lean condition in your previous post? Here's a piece of advice; do what Justin said and go through all the proper channels. If, after seeing it through, you find the the tune did something then come tell us some facts and details and maybe someone will listen. Good luck.

I've told you as well as others. I don't know what's so hard about it. The tune wouldn't cause a problem like this. It's not like it's a diesel tune. It's a coincidence more than likely. If it does it on the factory tune than it's something wrong with your truck and not the tune. Things do go bad on trucks from time to time due to mfg's defects. We already told you what to do as well. Go to the dealer. Don't tell them about the tune. See what happens.

Don't come on here jumping to conclusions about the tuner causing the problem until you have proven that the tuner is actually what messed up your truck! Act like an adult and you'll get treated like one act like a dumbazz then you'll get treated like a dumbazz! Maybe the tuner did mess up your truck but until you have some proof i'm gonna have to call Bullshizz!

Honestly thump, I think your wasting your time. He knows the tune broke his truck and our advice isn't good enough for him (either that or he just ignores all of the advice we've given him.)

Edit: Take that back... its not all of the advice "we've" given him, its all the advice you guys have given him. I just think he's plain stupid.


So to the original poster... I am going to give my advice (it's been said many times already). GO TO FORD. End of advice. We have nothing else to offer you here. The only thing you can do is go to Ford. I don't know what other advice you expect from us... there is no other advice. No ones going to sit here and say "well if you try this and this, it might fix the problem" because that sort of advice doesn't apply to your situation.

On top of the fact that you started this thread off like a 12-year old child, and continued with it like an 11-year old child, we shouldn't even waste our time helping you.

Cutting out at WOT?

You wouldn't happen to have a quarter tank or less of gas left would you?

Weird noises? I noticed a lot of valve train noise right when I got my first custom tune. It's not bad, even if it may sound like it.


Edit: Maybe Justin's tunes are just so good they exposed the problems your truck already had.

Usually because you're listening for every little noise and creak because you've done something. More than likely it was always there.

Haha exactly.

I was told by Troyer that some "valve train noise" may appear. I heard it after the tune, not sure if it was there before or if it was more apparent once the tune was in. You never know, it could be the same thing he's complaining about.

Btw I'm taking the OP's advice, gonna sell my tuner and go back to stock and be slow

Sike, I'll be sticking with my VMP tune as long as I can, my truck has never run better.
