I was wondering if it was possible to change the shift points without purchasing a Superchip. I'd also like to improve the strength of shifts without installing a shift kit. Can the Ford computers be reprogrammed for this? I know that there's programmers for the Chevy computers, which makes it "random access". But aren't the Fords a "read only", which makes it unable to be reprogrammed without a chip?

 

B&M Shift Kit would be yur best bet!

Not quite sure what year of truck you have, but I say do the chip. I believe, and Mr. Troyer correct me if I am wrong, but they do make a chip that is programmed to regular unleaded gasoline if you are hesitant to use premium. It would give your truck harder shifts and more power. You're shift points aren't programmable per say, but they do change slightly....at least that's what I have noticed with my superchip. The thing I don't like about shift kits is that you have to drop the tranny pan to install them....big pain. And when you're all done, you still might have a leak.....and that would bite.

 

This was more of what I was interested in.
Both the shift points and the firmness is programmable without having to run premium fuel or dropping the trans. pan. Except the cost of this device is $325us, which is out of my price range considerably. I was curious to see if I could perhaps just pay for someone to change my shift points and firmness, and get away without paying for the full product. But this product in particular is designed to be used for only 1 vehicle. I wonder if there are any shop programmers that performance shops use that work for multiple vehicles. Does anyone know of any others?
