2001 F-550 rollback auto.

wanting more power and more fuel mi.

should i just order a single custom tune?

or just purchase a superchip or something the like?

 

Get a custom tued chip from DP, PHP, Tony Wildman or many other good tuners that are out there.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I am going to buck the trend and guess this is a fleet rig of some kind... Now a multi pos chip is the cats meow, but for something like that, a Superchip tuner might be the best bet. It would give you a way to read and clear any codes, its not going to give you enough power to really hurt anything and there easy to transfer from one truck to the next.

Before you add any power I would suggest getting a pyro, they make a nice single pod that mounts on the steering column and you could throw a Isspro EV2 pyro in there for $150 or so...


Superchips was one of the easiest and safest mods I ever bought.

 

we had something in out old truck (before it was stolen), but im not sure what it was because my dad had it done at the ford dealership, and supposedly the chip came out of florida. whatever it was gave it a lot more power and jumped it 4 mpg. however it was a 6spd, our new one is an auto and it is BONE STOCK and getting at most 10 mpg. so i cant decide whether to put in a superchips which i know is a good programer, but its generic and i was told that i could get a single custom tune at like 75 hp for less than 200 bucks. so thats why i'm looking for more info.

and its not exactly a fleet truck, its a 2000 F550 4dr. 2wd. jerrdan rollback with 64k miles that we use at our car lot to haul to and from the sale. not for hire.

 

get a tow tune from sct

 

With a chip, you have no way to read or clear codes without buying something else...

You have a fleet rig, its a work truck, not a personal truck... Superchips is the best fit for your truck IMHO...

 

i dont mean to sound ignorant, but i have a code reader here at the shop... and my old roll back never threw any codes... but the general consensus is a superchip, one last question, what about the superchip versus the predator?

 

i heard the predator blows. i was going to buy one along time ago when i didnt really know anything about chips and such. go with superchips delete the muffler do a 6637 intake and get yourself some gauges so you know what the fudge is going on with your trans turbo and motor that the stock gauge cluster doesnt tell you

 

I'll add another vote for the superchip, for your application.

I may get flammed for sayin it, but I still think that thing had one of the best shifting, and safest tow tunes of anything I've tried. I could not get EGT's to spike with a trailer on. Some of the custom tow tunes I've tried gave me a little more power, but I'm drivin with one eye on the road, and another on the gauge.

It's kinda freaky when your feet start gettin warmer on a long grade
