Default 2008 F-350 Powerstroke

Anyone know of any tuners out there that can cure dead pedal? My cousin has a 2008 and is disgusted with it. The pedal lag is driving him nuts. He test drove a 2009 and it didn't display the same problem as his. It's been flashed to current but didn't help. Thanks.

HI staarma, I hear that the best tuner for the 2008 6.4 PSD is SPARTAN it has up to 275 HP & is the only tuner that can't be detected by the FORD dealership !!!

I may be wrong but I don't think a tuner will fix pedal lag. Mine had it then they flashed it and it didn't have it then when flashed to current it has it again. Not sure what the issue is.

ANY tuner can be found by the dealer if they look hard enough.

The SPARTAN will not be detectable, The only code the dealer will see is the battery cable disconnect code

I don't have to prove WHAT tuner was on it, just that there WAS a tuner on it. And I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, if your truck had a tuner on it, you pull it off and bring it in to me, I will be able to tell you.

The "battery disconnect code" (P1000) tells someone who knows what they're looking at a lot more than you think it would.

Why must you scare me like that, I want to buy the SPARTAN, because i was told all the dealer would see is battery disconnect, How would you know it was va tuner & not a battery being disconnected ????

You need to find a dealer that isn't a wiener about mods.

Bring your truck to me.

Hell of a commute, though

Heard NOTHING but AWESOME things about that spartan 275 horse DPF delete tune though.

I wanta get a Spartan tuner but have no mods on ma truck. Is there anything that I should upgrade before tuning? Thanks in advance.

O yeah, I bought the truck with a Bully Pup and had to pay extra to get a warranty, so should I consider the spartan? or just deal with the bully for now? can they tell the difference?
