So I found a guy selling a hypertech programmer for my truck, pretty cheap. For those that don't know I have 99 F250, 7.3L Diesel. The hypertech claims, 3 different program modes, with one adding like 100hp with gains in fuel economy.
Anyone ever used one? Good experience or bad? Any programmer better?
You will not get better mileage. That's just majic smoke they blow up your ass so you can justify the cost. All the programmers do the same thing. Make truck go faster and blow some smoke. Cheapest new is superchip off ebay. If it's a good price get it, it'll be fun.
Hypertech blows - actually decreases power on level I in some configurations. Edge is the best hp/dollar value.
My friend had one on his lifted f-250, I drove it down to College Station and back, it had balls.
Having driven your truck all weekend i think this money could be better spent on steering components and some new rotors :flipoff2:
PS i'm probably the last person that should ever call someone out on lack of maintenance to their vehicle :D
Idiot! He's trying to go faster, not stop nor steer. :laughing:Quote:

Frick, just when I think you are the dumbest man alive, you say something like that, and completely redeem yourself. I have done the brakes once on my truck (25k ago), there is a small vibration in the front rotor now, but it is no where near the earthquake that was Jerry's front end.Quote:

I appreciate your thoughts, but checking Ebay, I do not see how Edge has the better HP/$. On ebay they are twice as much and only give a claimed 60HP. Hypertech gives 100HP claim.Quote:

There should be a multiple stage Edge that does 30, 60, 90, and 125 hp. They each have very flat torque curves.
That doesn't mean other programmers aren't good, but they just aren't my favorite. I'm sure you'll enjoy an extra 100 hp.
Don't speak ill of the dead! :flipoff2:Quote:
