Thank You,
Grunt

 

Mike,

I thought you posted previously that raising the 2-3 shift 2 notches to the right gave optimum results, or did I misunderstand you before?

 

Hi Colby & Grunt,

You're both very welcome, & have fun enjoying your new performance levels!


To rbraughn,

You're absolutely RIGHT with regard to the 1715 Micro Tuner, and I could have worded that a bit differently in that response - for the 1997-2003 F-150's using the 1715 Micro Tuner, we DO advise manually adjusting the 2-3 upshift point ONLY, and ONLY by taking it up precisely 2 "notches" over the default setting (the middle point on it's LCD screen - raise it 2 lines, or notches, or hash marks, whatever you want to call them, above the centerline).

As you've seen us talk about here many times before, that is a neat little driveability trick with the 1715 on the 1997-203 vehicles that allows the tranny to get back up into Overdrive quicker after it's had to downshift back down into 3rd gear like when going up a hill, etc. That is only for the 1997-2003 F-150's & Expy's using the 1715 Micro Tuners.

But in the 1714 Micro Tuners for the 2004 F-150's with the 3-valve 5.4 motor, we do NOT recommend doing that - for those, just set them at the "Superchips" setting and then leave them alone - period. That is what will deliver the best results in those vehicles. Thanks for pointing that out!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

 

Been makin a few runs were i got a 1/4 mile marked off on my road we have it marked up to a mile for settin of our work trucks... and right now im averagin 90mph whooo few more mods and ill be sweeeeeet

 

Thanks for the clarification Mike, I thought maybe I made a mistake raising it on my 1715

 

so in this talk about the 1715 programmer, should i leave the shift pressure at the middle level, or put it 2 marks above the middle for all the shifts? I have it maxed out for all points right now...it seems a bit weird but its fun - is it gonna hurt anything in the long run, or am i loosing power because it ends up shifting harder? I will go back tomarrow and change the shift points though for the 2-3 range. Thanks for the help everybody!

 

while this isn't a mod- this is important- for what it costs- replace fuel filter - no later than every 15 k miles- i'd say 10k- at 9000- mines was clogging- phil

 

Delta17,

I think you are "flirtin with disaster" if you have all your shift pressures maxed out. I would leave everything stock except the 2-3 shift point 2 notches to the right like Mike suggests.

Experimenting with a notch here and there might not be an issue, but maxing all the pressures out sounds like a bad thing to me.

It shifts plenty hard in my 2001 Screw just with the basic settings.

 

Thx for the Tip OpenClassPro lol wonder were the fuel filter is on this beast

 

rbraughn,

I did indeed lower the shift pressures and did the two notches like mike said. I drove it for a while but then got a little bored so put it 3 above the middle setting for all points. I figure its no AS extreme, and it really dosent do much difference unless i'm heavy on the gas. But i'm sure, just to be safe, that i will put it back to the middle shift points except for the two notches because i sure dont need any problems when winter comes around in probably, and unfortantely in a couple weeks. THanks for your help and reply man!

will the underdrive pulley kit for an 03 f150 fit on on a 05 f250? it says at www.troyerperformance.com that it will fit on an 04 f150 w/the 3v engine.
